4 MODEL POLICE STATION
Ne1c House of Fort Hamilton Best
an the Citv.

The police OF the Fort Hamilton Precinct have
recently moved from one of the worst buildings
used for that purpose to the best police station
in greater New-York. 1t is a model house in
every way, and the luxuries which are now en-
joyed, from Captain Francis a Creamer. the
commander of the precinct down to the humble
horss' that draw the patrol wagon. are in gIar-
ing contrast to the Inconvenience and even
hardships they We're obliged TO endure in their
cid home
After Fort Hamilton was consolidated with
Brooklyn the old Town Hall. Fort Hamilton
ave. and Stth-st. became the headquarters of
the police i'm that district. This old Town Hail.
built years ago. and containing none of the
modern convenences. had to serve the purposes
of police station until the completion of the
present modern building. which the men are still
examining as jOyOusly a child would a new
toy strange coincidence was that Sergeant
Thomas McCauey. who turned out the first
squad of men to do DUTY from the old Town Hall
when the police station was established there
turned the first platoon out OF the new station
Although now situated in a sparsely settled
territory, this station is destined to be the centre
of a district filled with fine homes AT 5th-ave
and S6th-st, the new station is just a block
away from the old building The site was pur-
chased and the plans drawn In the adminIstra-
tiOn of Commissioner Greene Walter T. Parftt
was chosen as the architect 10 was not until
January ~, after Commissioner McAdoo had
taken charge OF the department. that bids were
opened. Charles II Peekworth sent in the
lowest bid among fourteen bidders and received
the contract for SSi l93. The closeness OF the
bids may be judged from the fact that OF the
first five bids only SI03 separated the highest
from the lowest Mr.. Peckworth's bid was some
$4,000 lower than the highest.

The first story is of light brick and the upper
stories of red brick. In addition To the main
building there is patrol wagon room of two
stories. and a large stable and a wing for the
cells. each of which is one story I'm height
The building is thoroughly nreprocf in every
particular. the floors being OF a concrete COM
position and the stairs of marble

Queer Collection of Canes Ozcned
by Hugo HirSh.

Canes. small and large. handsome and ugly

every land Of both hemispheres-these constitute
one OF the fads Of Hugo Hirsh. the well known
Republican lawyer. Private collections of canes
rather rare, and there is no question that the

unique. Asked the other Gay how much he valued

gift OF rare or odd cane stick TO add 10 his
collection.

inquired OF visitor the other evening: What do
you think OF that?"
The visitor grasped the end OF the cane as IL
was extended TO him. when suddenly. with q
quick wrench, Mr. Hirsh pulled the handle away
from the stick, and he had revolver in his hand
fully loaded and ready for business. The handle
of the cane formed the butt Of the revolver and
the remainder had been concealed in the hollow
part Of the stick. At the end Of the muzzle Of
the revolver sharp dagger, which would
prove deadly in a hand-to-hand encounter.
Another weapon disguised as a cane is a regu-
