Of the birth of Christ, yet the facts are
that they are undoubtedly several
years wrong in the number of years
they suppose to have elapsed since
the advent OF the Redeemer, and are
probably no more accurate when they
suppose him to have been born on De-
cember 25.
From the best and most authoritative
sources it seems likely that Christ was
really born in the year B. c. 5. and that
dating the Christian era from the first
should be the year 1907 Ammo Domini,
and not the year 1903
Both profane and sacred historys tell
US that the Emperor Augustus ordered
a census Of the Roman Empire, and
that for the purpose of enrolment all
the inhabitants were directed to go to
the city or town to which they or their
families belonged. That is why Joseph
and Mary went to Bethlehem, and why
that little village, instead Of Nazareth,
was the birthplace Of Christ. For the
Bible says duke II, la: "A decree
went forth from Augustus Caesar that
the whole world should be enrolled.

BAILEY LAW.
Automobilst May Speed in Outly-
ing Parts of City.

An opinion giving an Interpretation of the Bailey
Automobile law, handed down yesterday by
Justice Mayer in the Court of General Sessions.
Justices Wyatt and Ofmsted concurred IN the dec-
Interpretation of the law. The decision was in ac-
cordance with Justice Mayors ruling dismissing the
case against Gustave Lippman. who arrested
May II on the charge Of having driven au-
tomobile at a speed greater than eight miles
hour. in One-hundred d-and-eighty-ninth-st.. near

The view Of the court that while there were
houses less than 100 feet apart at the place where
the arrest made. the general character of the
locality that described in the law as
closely built up portions OF the city; that there
was neither church schoolhouse near by, and

Up to May Is the law that any person driv

city of NewYork guilty of nisdemeanor.
But that date Chapter 625 of the Laws of 1903
became operative. and that section provided that
city should require an automobile to travel slower
than eight miles an hour within the closely built
miles an hour where the houses in the city are
more than one hundred feet apart.
The clear purpose of the law, in the opinion of
the court, was to provide a general scheme for
the protection of the public, and at the time
to allow in outlying districts greater latitude in
speed than in localities where the streets are much

for the record breaking crowd which is expected
TO he present The first game between these col
ieges was played at New-Haven. and Yale won by
a close margin. In this contest the pitchers were
about even but the Blues hitting was somewhat
more timely than Prnceton's, and its fielding and
team work shade better. Ir the second game
Bowman the Yale twirler, allowed his opponents
make fifteen hits. His work was largely re-
sponsible for Old Eli s defeat, the New-Haven
representatives failed 10 make an error, while the
Princeton men made Stevens. who was in
the box for the latter team, however, displayed
GOODNESS and skill in sizing up the batters and had
much control of the ball.
Both teams have been practising diligently for
to-day's game this week, and it is expected to be
q memorable
A big Representation made in honor of
Princetons baseball team yesterday morning as 1t

confident of victory. An election of a captain to
