POLICE TRIUMPH
Their Show Voted the Best
Vaudeville Performance
Of the Year Fund
Gains From So,
900 to $40,
900.

At every performance of the Police
show at the Bijou this week the big
house has been crowded and seats have
been at premium. The receipts have
been heavy and exceedingly gratifying
to the committee in charge. The show
has been attended by the best known
residents of the city who have continual
" applauded the showing made by the
police in Chief Murphy's playlet Scenes
and Incidents in a Police Station. In
every way the public has manifested its
appreciation Of the police and in return
they have been given show that can
only be seen in this city once d year,
when the Police Mutual Aid Association
benefit is given. The stars who have fig
ured in the vaudeville programme are all
high priced artists and despite the fact
that the expenses of the show are large
it is believed that from 5000 to $4,000
will be added to the treasury Of the As
sociation.
The show has attracted attention in
police circles out of town. Last night
there were present Chief Hayes and Re
corder Stanton of Hoboken; Police Cap
tains Corbett and Cosgrove Of Newark;
Captain Cleary Of Trenton and several
detective sergeants from New York.
A matinee is in progress this after
noon. The show viii close tonight.
