ITS FIRST VICTORY.
Ball Tossers of he Morristown Field Club
Easily Defeat Freshmen.

An enthusiastic crowd of members
and friends attended the opening of
the diamond at the Morristown Field
Club Saturday afternoon and in the
first contest of the season, witnessed
the Field Club ball team outclass and
play all around its opponents, the
Columbia Freshmen. The local team
this year is somewhat heavier and
judging from the manner in which
each member sprinted around the field
and diamond, they have certainly
started in with the intention of win
ming the pennant. At no stage of the
game were the visitors in it, being
shut out without a run until the
eighth inning when McCollom man
aged to cross the plate. Not so with
the home team, for while the Fresh
men were being treated to successive
applications of whitewash, Howell put
out a pretty home run, while Reed
and G. Chadwell came in for two base
hits and the rest doing their share of
hitting by sending out neat singles in
various parts of the field, thereby run
ming up the score to fourteen runs.
The score is appended as follows.

DR.. Twining reported for the Jail
Committee He said that at present

as far as that is possible in the pres
ent Jail buildings.
Mrs. Julia Keese COLES spoke of the
Importance of having compulsory
labor for the prisons.
Dr. Twining called attention to the
probation law passed last winter.
While the law is inferior to that of
Massachusetts, in several respects it
is great improvement on what we
have had 1t will be popular law

after experience.
President John E. Taylor reported

Mr.. FOX
ELECTED
Republican Aldermen in First
and Third Wards.
Results Surprise to Politicians
Cutting in Evidence all Around
the Town-Tie Votes in Two
Districts.

By easily carrying every ward in
the city, Rev. Norman Fox, Republi-
can candidate for mayor, was elected
over his Democratic opponent, Harrie
Freeman by majority of 222. With
him were gained two Republican AL
dermen, and next June, when the new
board organizes it will stand six
Democratic, to three Republicans.
The defeat of the head of their
ticket in every ward, showed general
revolt in the Democratic ranks, al
though the result was somewhat of
a surprise generally, as it was not
figured that Mr.. Fox would win by so
large majority.
The Third Ward contest for alder
men between Alderman Conkling and
George Grove was watched closely !;
but the Republican forces brought
Grove through with Sc majority.
The Fourth Wards result was not
expected to give anything but Dem
ocratic alderman and Mr.. Belby was
elected over R. Duyckinck by &c ma
jority.
Mr.. Hurting, Republican candidate
for alderman in the First Ward was
elected without opposition. In this
ward the fight was between Alderman
Burke and Sinclair the Republican
aspirant. In the first district, both
ran even. ninety votes being cast for
each, but in the second district Burke
got his majority of 48.
Reeve, the Democratic candidate in
the Second Ward came out with ma
jority over Blanchard of 60. The
former lost in the first district but
won in the second.
AS the end of the counting of votes
drew near, the result could easily be
surmized and when the final anounce-
ment was made an enthusiastic crowd
formed and headed by drums and horns
marched around to serenade Mayor
elect Fox and his colleagues. The
jollification ended about midnight
with the building of a large bonfire
near the park.
