phone 40 West.
PatOlmen while on duty at the Sixth
station frequently indulge in a game OF
cribbage or auction pitch to pass the
time, but since the dog scare they have
had but little opportunity for this sort OF
amusement. as they are perfecting them
selves in the art OF lassooing. Some have
already became experts. The lasso Is
by no means of the wild west pattern. II
consists OF an oak club two feet in length
ana one and hree-quarters-inch diameter
at one end OF which is securely fastened
a brass swivel on each side To one OF
these loops Is made fast a cord Of suffi-
Client size and strength 20 hold all of the
stray dogs In the district at one time.
The other end passes through the other
loop and is free, so that all the expert
dog catcher has to do is TO coax an un-
muzzled dog 70 put his head through the
loop and zip goes the free end and II
the dog gets away the dog catcher must
go with IL or lose the lasso.
TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED.
Traffic on the Broadway line appears TO
be demoralized at present. but most OF
the patrons are satisfied, as they are
aware that the Rhode Island company is
pushing the work as fast as possible.
When the work is completed the patrons
will be the gamers. for most OF them have
for years asked for double tracks over
this route. There are some. however,
who are finding fault because box cars
ba Irff o,
end Of the routes on the east side. but i
the management did not figure on another
hot spell and IL is task to change the |
box cars for open ones. The company
has also put on a car 10 run from the |
square TO the break I'm the road, but as
this car is marked Broadway" but few |
take it, as they are OF the opinion that |
the fact for II connects with all cars be- |
yond the break
HAD A JOLLY GOOD TINE.
The outing of the Nayatt Fishing and |
club at it's ycttage at Nayatt
yesterday was one o. the most enjoy |
able affairs ever held by this organiza-
tion. About 35 mebmers left the square
at 10 o'clock, and upon their arrival
NJ the cottage found a delicious clam
chowder and generous supply OF
little neeks' in readiness for them.
At o'clock the cover was removed |
from the bake, which included every
thing that could be thought OF. II
took the party about an hour and a
Reilly OF Oak street was master OF
ceremonies, and was voted to be the
right man in the right place.
