playlet entitled Scenes in Jersey City
Police Station II was intensely inter-
esting to every one in the audience and
the men who took part in it acquitted
themselves so well that they reflected
credit not only upon themselves but upon
khe entire department and the city. The
whole sketch as represented was really
a work of art. There was not solitary
hitch. Every move and every incident
was perfect. The drill of the men before
going out on post could not be excelled.

put forth an enjoyable entertainment.
