A three o'clock matinee took
place on our streets last Sunday
afternoon. The players consist
ed Of several gentlemen az con.
gregated alta livery stable who
drank freely from a jug, while the
livery men were out. They got
so happy that one of them at
tackled several boys and wound NJ
in a fight with a young man, who
had taken an innocent drink of ci-

BREAKING IMmIGRATION RECORDS

We are Just now on the crest of the
greatest wave of Immigration we have
ever known, and many are asking
whether we shall be able to ride the
food in safety. In April, the HAM
burg American steamer Pennsylvania
broke all previous records, bringing
2,73l Storage passengers to New York
il one day. In June, the Batavia, of
the same line, surpassed that feat with
1,S54. Until this year, the total immi-
grafton of 7SS, 992, in 1852, has stood as
tie unapproached high-water mark
E'hat included nearly hundred thou.
and arrivals from Canada, who ale not
low included in the returns; yet, with
olt allowing for that element, the i'm
Iiigraton for the twelve months, end
ing with April, 1908, was S03, 272. The
contributions from Canada and Mexico
would probably bring this up nearly or
quite To $4,000. The figures from
Europe include only steerage passen-
gers. Among the hundred thousand
or so persons who come over in the
cabln there are many foreigners who
intend to become. permanent settlers,
but il Is impossible to estimate their
number. We may say, however, that
