DAY OF The HORSE
Hudson County Road Drivers
Have Their Annual
Parade.
ATTRACTIVE SPECTACLE
Many Out of Town Horsemen
Display Fine Turnouts
in the Line.

The hundreds of members of the TIud-
son County Road Drivers Association are
very well pleased that the weather today
is just right for their annual parade on
the Boulevard The parade, which is far
ahead of last years event, began at half
past two this afternoon from in front of
the quarters of the Ninth Ward Demo-
cratic Club. The cozy clubhouse was a
picture with its decoration of bunting and
flags. In fact all the houses along the
route Were prettily bedecked with flags
Grand Marshal DR.. Il. E. Smith made
his quarters in the club house. All orders
relative to line position were given out
from there There was no confusion
The participants followed instructions as
to their places and when the order to
move was given the line went ahead with
out hitch.
The divisions rested on Glenwood ave-
nue. and Montgomery street. There were
three hundred beautiful rigs in line and
these made a handsome picture. The line
of march was filled with spectators. APP
plause greeted those having the finest
turnouts- A feature of the parade was
the number of out-of-town horsemen
who took part. They came from New
York, Brooklyn, Newark, Paterson, and
all over the county. 1t was really a splen-
did exhibition of horseflesh and pretty
rigs. Gay colors were everywhere in the
line and the harness was polished up to
a brilliancy that reflected dazzling rays
in the sunlight
DR.. Farrell rode at the head of the first
division. Teams, surries, single rigs of
all descriptions and racing gigs followed
in their respective order. The route laid
out extended north along the Boulevard to
West Newark avenue, where a turn was
made, and the procession continued along
the big roadway to the Speedway, which
begins near Fiftieth street, Bayonne. The
the judges who are to pick out the prize
winners are out of town horsemen 1t
is more than likely that this afternoon
will see some of the warmest kind of
sport on the Speedway.
That road has been put in splendid
shape ana races of a spirited nature are
looked fer. The prizes to be awarded
consist of harness, blankets, whips and
otker articles for horsemen These will
go to those fortunate enought To vim
First, best horse and wagon driven by
lady; second, best horse and speeding
wagon: third, best team and single wag-
on; fourth, best cob and runabout; fifth.
best trap or single surry; seventh, best
pony outfit.
Dr. John Farrell heads the second
division. The parade is over mile in
length

ACTORS SORRY .PL|GTH.
Property Man Lost Key and
Mr.. Green Was Hand
cuffed for an Hour.

Walter Green, who is playing the role
of st. Francis Levinson in East thyme
with the Aubrey Stock Company at a
local theatre had funny experience last
night at the close of the performance.
1t was funny to number of people who
were present beside Mr.. Green, but he did
not look at it in that light, and didn't
relish the laugh his friends had at his
expense any more than he did the fact
that he was just an hour late to dainty
little supper a number of his friends had
arranged in his honor.
Mr.. Green was born in this city and
has several times during his theatrical
career appeared to the delight ia large
portion of the populate Ever since he
began an engagement with the Aubrey
Stock Company here three weeks ago he
has received his full measure of applause
and other marks of appreciation. Last
night the house was full and Mr.. Green
was warmly received. He was all the
while thinking of the supper he was go
ing to at the close of the performance
When the final scene came in which he
was placed under arrest and the hand
suffs snapped on his wrists he was Sc
curely shackled with sure-enough cuffs
that had been borrowed from the Second
Precinct police station.
He was taken off presumably to prison
and the scene closed. Once out sof signt
of the audience Mr.. Green threw off his
character and became the hungry, un
romantic man, full of anticipation for the
love feast he was invited to. Going into
the property room where Charles Dias
Teigns supreme, Mr.. Green said
Mr.. Property Man, please unlock these
cuffs am in a hurry to join my
friends
All right, Mr. Green,'' replied Dias
there you are He turned to get ths
key of the cuffs but it was not where liz
thought it was Then began a search
that lasted almost an hour and the youne
actor was in a state of mind he does moi
wish to experience again. Finally they
gave up hope and a messenger was
despatched to the station house for 8
duplicate key When he returned Mr.
Green was set at liberty and he hastily
removed his, makeup and joined MS
friends at the festive board Then he
told the story and his friends We're ir
high glee. Mr. Green says he will here
after insist that the key to the cuffs be
placed in his pocket before he goes on the
stage.

GEN. TRACY UNDER FIRE
Testifies in the Honduras Syn
dicate Despute With
Shipherd.

General B. F. Tracy. ex-Secretary Of
the Navy, was examined this afternoon
in the offices of Corbin & Corbin in the
suit brought by Jacob Shipherd against
the Honduras Syndicate. In this proceed
ing it is charged that General Tracy, who
was Shepherds counsel, used knowledge
of certain concessions obtained from the
Honduras government by Shipherd to
form rival syndicate.
The point brought out today was that
General Tracy, although members of
the syndicate, didn't know who were all
his associates. Under cross-examination
he said that he agreed to give $4,000 to
Shipherd because he heard he was to
make trouble for the syndicate. He also
admitted that he heard that Lawyers
Joseph Choate, j. G. Carter and e. j.
Phelps had counselled the payment of the
money. The General denied that he ever
had any active interest in the. syndicate.
He subscribed for 5000 worth of stock and
that was all.

HEAVY TRAFFIC ON PLANK ROAD
Great Change Since the Opening to
Business Men on the Line.

Since the opening of the Newark Plank
Road the traffic, particularly with vehi-
cles, has been unusually heavy, while by
the trolley cars there has been a cores
ponding increase over the number of pas
sengers during similar given period over
the road. These facts are contained in a
report to President E. F. C. Young by Su-
peTIntendent Jackson.
The opening has made a wonderful
change in the business of certain mer-
chants along the lire of the road and par
ticularly among the keepers of road
houses. To them the few months wher.
the road was closed meant not dollar re-
ceived beause teamsters who didn't pass
that way couldn't possibly spend any
money Now it is different and the road
house keepers heart is gay.
