Acting Capt. Mccormack OF the Bicycle

account OF the proficiency he had attained in
scolding. narrowly escaped being run down
last night by an automobile at the corner of
Fifty-ninth street and Seventh avenue. Later.
while issuing the general orders to the m en-
before they started on their night tour. he
made little speech.
Il think myself" he is reported as saying,
that you're all a lot OF stifrs and dubs. You
can arrest some dude bicycle riders for riding
slow without light. but mono OF you has the
nerve to arrest an automobile driver that goes
| too fast, Probably it's because you can't ride
fast enough to catch him. You all think more
Of getting your name in the papers than Of
doing something worth while. There's one OF
you that is better known in this town than tho
Frenchman. Dreyfus. and hear that he has a
regular press agent"
Il guess you refer to me-" said Policeman
Whitman. who Is known as Ajax. the strong
| man."
Yes. you're the one meant" snapped Mac.
and nice strong man you are. We want ro-
licemsn strong enough to arrest automobiles"
, WELL" said whitman. I've arrested freight
cars. and street cars. and I've carried fat men
to tho station on my bicycle. I guess I'm
| strong enough to arrest an automobile"
Il don't believe it." replied the acting Cap
| tain. SO I'm going to find out. will give you
special post tonight. You will ride on
Broadway from Fifty-second to Fifty ninth
street, and II you don't arrest an automobile
before midnight. I'll report the matter at
| headquarters"
Whitman left the station and nothing was
| heard from him until o'clock. when he came
| into the station Juggling a small boy.
He was riding eighteen miles an hour. and
pnched him. he said.
Il thought you were to get an automobile"
| replied tho acting Captain, Grimy
| why. don't believe that that boy can ride
ten miles an hour" said police surgeon who
| was back OF the desk.
You bet can't" said the boy. who was
| quick to SEQ how things were going. Il can't
ride moro than six miles. II could this lob
| ster couldn't catch me-"
Tho boy was locked up and the strong

bring in an automobile or die in the attempt.

REAL ESTATE NEWS.

Several real estate sales OF more than usual
interest were reported yesterday at private
contract and two Gales were made in the auc-
ton room. On the whole. the day was the
busiest the market has had for a long time. 1t
remains to be seen whether this new burst OF
activity is tho forerunner OF tho fall dealing or
is simply sporadic
Two OF the sales at private contract were in
vestment transactions. and as such possess
some siRnifl canoe. They are the FIRST sales Of
this nature to be reported in some time. The
eight-story building. 10 East Seventeenth
street, was secured as an investment. and the
old buildings. 70 and 80 Broad street. will be
torn down and replaced by q modern mercan-
tile building In this latter sale Alfred Seton.
Jr., was the broker
1t 10 reported among the brokers that the
owners Of property on Elm street are soon to
begin summary proceedings to compel tho
municipal authorities to complete the work on
hat thoroughfaro.
The practically impossible condition OF the
street has caused financial loss to mercantile
houses and owners Of property fronting on 1t
say that great reduction of rents has been
necessary In order to secure tenants. No sales
of property have been made In some time. and
a serious depreciation in value Is threatened
unless the work is promptly carried to COM
pletion.
