HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
TO GIVE PINK TEA
AT ASCOT PARK
BY THE EAVESDRGPPER

Judge Hamilton of Ascot park, who
with his mother and sister makes his
home at the Alexandria hotel has been
the center of much corridor fun since
the women of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children saw fit
to come down on the judge in behalf of
the jockeys.
The judge is now considering issuing
invitations for a pink tea to be held at
the track in the near future and to
which the women of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children will
be invited to meet the wives and chill
dren of the boy Jockeys.
The judge has a weak spot in his
heart for children and this is known to
a great many of his friends, so they
consider the child jockey objections in
the light of a huge joke.
Judge Hamilton wouldn't hurt a
child if he was to get million for it
in good hard coin,' was the remark of
one corridor frequenter last night, and
the others in the group echoed their
sentiments.
Il wish l was little that might have
all those lovely ladies looking out for
my welfare" said another man of the
big burly type.
II think it is pretty hard on us big
fellows, but it just goes to prove no
DOdy loves 1at man. Here are tneSe
fellows out at the track, some of them
as old as we are and most of them are
married and have children, but because
nature did not burden them with any
extra avoirdupois they get a monopoly
on all the goods things of life"
Thus having delivered himself, the
fat philosopher walked off to seek
solace like his Persian predecessor of
centuries agone in a jug of wine, a
loaf of bread, and-but, cruel fate
there was not any thou sitting be-
side him in the wilderness.

The decision of the court of errors
and appeals last week in the case Of
the Convent assessment is much broad
er than was at first thought. The
court decided that only such parts of
the original tract as are necessary for
the enjoyment of the buildings is en-
Titled to exemption. This is good
news especially for Morris township for
large part Of the holdings in that tax
ing district are outside the original
tract and used only for farming.
The work Of laying the walk around
the Park was completed Monday after
noon and the parapet will be put down
at once if the weather holds out. The
gutter on the side opposite the First
Church is also being recobbled and the
walk leading from the United States
Hotel corner has been raised for con-
siderable distance doing away with a
bad step where it joins the exterior
walk. Contractor Ritter expects to
fill up the Park where necessary at
once If weather permits.

Board and a Colby leader, in which

ter the race. Mr. Anderson visited
Governor Stokes at Trenton Thurs

Mr.. Anderson expressed surprise at

ject to allowing the declaration to be
made public. Governor Stokes as
surred Mr.. Anderson that he had no
objection.

The court of appeals has filed an
opinion in the case of the. assessment
of the property of st. Elizabeth Acad-
envy, at Convent. The decision re-
verses that of the Supreme Court
which was in favor of the Convent.
In deciding the case the court of err
rors reverses itself on former de-
cision. 1t is understood that there is
some reference probably for decision
as to how much of the property is
necessary for the use of the buildings.
The Convent claimed that the en-
tire property is not assessable, as all
the profits, etc, are devoted to chart
table work. The county board OF as
SCISSORS ordered the assessors of Morris
township and Florham Park borough
to assess the property for S250,000,
which was divided between the two

fused to pay and carried the matter
