A dentist in the square. who owns what
a called by some fast horse, took
well known cigar dealer ont for an airing
yesterday afternoon. and when on Po-
casset avenue near Webster street. the
dentist came alongsIde OF on East eide
physicisn. who also owns fast horse.
The dentist thinking that the physician
wanted little brush started in. and the
cigar dealer being more OF an adept AZ
walking than buggy riding made gran
foi his derby and drew his short fail
overcoat little tighter about his white
vest. and was erasping the sides 81 the
three quarter buggy so that he would no;
fall out and was told by the dentist e.
hold o., The cigar dealer We. holding on
ali right. he said but told the dentist to
hurry ur and fnish the, race for he could
mt hold on much longer. The race was
for about a half a mile. and the physician
seeing that he was in the wrong class
turned into side street. and soon as
the dentist pulled up the cigar dealer got
his second wind and his eyes went back
into the sockets where they belonged
and told the dentist that he had ridden on
bikes automobiles, etc, but never went
so fast as that before and never would
again unless II was by accident. When
the dentists mind reverts back to the
look on the face OF the cigar dealer during
that few seconds ride he does nothing
b,.t laugh but the cigar dealer has not
even smiled since.
THOUGH HE HAD TO GO.
There is considerable talk among the
police officers I'm relation to the sction OF
a down town police sergeant who was
sent with carriage 10 protect a lot OF
ballots from one OF the voting booths.
I<.lI xNla tt, zha NJ
these ballots that under no considera-
ton shall they lose sight OF them. until
they are deposited at the proper office in
the city hall. but this sergeant In question
left the carriage and when the driver
reached the city hall found that he was
alone with the ballots.
Not knowing where to deliver them he
took them 10 his stable and they were not
delivered until at o'clock wednesday
morning The sergeants excuse for leav-
Ing the carriage was that he thought he
heard fire alarm and supposed that he
was obliged TO respond.
