THE POINT JUDITH REFUGE,

battleship New Jersey ut the mouth of the Ches-
apeake received with much qualification
The huge floating fortress made She run along
n stormy coast, from Boston TO the Virginia
Capes, ii rough weather. but in entire safety.
and thus proved her seaworthiness and the good
seamanship OF her commander and his men,
But she did something than that: she
demonstrated the utility OF a long delayed public
work In which The Tribune has from the first
taken special interest and the prompt COM
pletion of which on ample scale has fire.
quenty been urged in these columns
The reference is to the artificial harbor of
refuge at Point Judith. Last Wednesday the
New Jersey reached those turbulent and dam
gerous waters and to her relief ran behind the
breakwater for shelter. She was, we believe
the first big battleshp to do so, and she thus
in a most practical way answered and refuted
the declarations of some that the harbor of ref
uge is not capable of receiving or of affording
shelter to so large vessel. There can now he
no further doubt of its commodiousness and
effectiveness, or, we should say, of the desira-
bility of making those small additions to it
which are required for its completeness
The navigation conference in this city last
April urged that the breakwater should be
slightly enlarged. crowded with a landing place

If the new fare registering machines being
tried on the Fifth avenue motor omnibuses
prove successful might they not be introduced
on all the surface lines of New York City? If
they prevented the knocking down" Of fares
there, the public might hope for an early and
radical Improvement in equipment and service.
For the company, according to its own pub
hshed statements. would be richer by many
million dollars if theving employees were sup
pressed. Can it be that the new fare register
(Which Is. in its main features and virtues an
old story in Europe) has not been introduced be-

An Unusual Play.

There have been many queer plays
pulled off on the diamond, and every
year brings out a new one, but the
most unique of all was brought about
on the polo grounds during the recent
series with the Cincinnati Reds, says
the New York World. A batter hav.
ing struck out was thrown out at first
by the third baseman. Can you beat
It?
1t happened thus: wilkes had
struck at the bail three times. The
last one was really a tip foul, and
struck Schlei on the shins, but the
umpire did not hear It on account OF
his ear muff The ball rolled In front
Of the plate, and, thinking II "A foul,
Schlei threw II to third. as is usually
done when fouls are hit. To the as
tonishment OF everybody, the umpire
called II a strike" and Kane threw
the ball over TO arst, and Wiltse was
