URGES NIGHT SCHOOL
ORANGE YOUNG MAN MAKES
PLEA TO PUBLIC.
Evening Sessions Would Do More Good
Than Athletic Associations and
Clubs, He Thinks

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
I notice In the columns of your paper
that the Boari Of Education of our city
has broken the spell Of wranglipg and
has at last appointed a principal, and,
although every citizen will say that 1t Is
about time,'' still, there is another point
which they ha We overlooked for years
past, that of establishing a night school.
Recently In the city of Newark there
were two boys arrested for corner loafing,
and Upon informing the judge that they
had Joined an athletic association to keep
off the streets, they were discharged.
l would like to ask the citizens OF Or
ange If they do not think that a night
school In our city would not benefit the
youths and help them elevate themselves
mentally.
1 am a young man and clearly under
stand that when C. young man joins an
athletic association it Is not, as a rule,
for his physical culture, which he will
soon tire of, but he will eventually turn
to cards and crap shooting. and later the
greatest Of all evils, drink" But Ii. ne
had the opportunity of attending night
school. where he could train his mind,
might some day make q valued and re-
spected citizen. Boys who AVE been de-
prived of an education and who have been
obliged to start out and earn their own
living at an early age, realize the hard
ships they have to face and regret when
too late the advantage of an education.
Therefore l that our worthy
citizens who are constantly agitating civic
righteousness and excise questions leave
for that purpose and interest themselves
for the welfare of our working boys. Very
truly yours, M. ]. REYNOLDS.

a Little Dash of It's Own and
Is Hurt

Harry Lake, a ~well-known trotting
horse, which won several races in this
vicinity last summer may not race again
this year, a of injuries received by
running into a barbed-wire fence In South
orange yesterday.
The racing horse ran away from the
farm of its owner, Peter J.. Herman, In
Irvington avenue, South Orange, after 1t
had been hitched to a sulky and as it was
about to be taken out on the road by a
trainer. Some papers blown by the wind
frightened the horse.
The trotter started on a run dow Irv-
ington avenue toward the centre Of the
village and pranced up In front of the
South. Orange firehouse door, opposite the
end of Irvington avenue. F1remen William
Kane and William Colgan tried to stop
the horse, but 1t continued on the run
down the sidewalk into South Orange ave-
nue. and around the corner into Vose ave-
nue., and at Montrose avenue 1t collided
with an iron-picket fence in front of the
home of Lowry e. B. Craig, In that street,
where It was cut up severely about the
legs and body and otherwise injured. All
this time the sulky was attached to 1t. The
horse turned a somersault owe the gutter
into the fence and lay exhausted.
Peter Boyle, of Clark street, who hap
pened to be near the scene, grabbed the
horse, and with the aid of others held 1t
down. The horse had covered two miles
in fast time under the circumstances.
h trotter was taken to Mr.. Kernan's
barn, In Ridgewood road, South Orange.
The sulky was smashed.
Harry Lake was to have raced within
the next two weeks, but 1t Is now feared
that it will be laid up for the winter.
Mr.. Herman paid $500 for the horse to
Wilson Decker, its former owner, it Is
said.
Harry Lake has won many cups
during the last two seasons at Waverly
and on the local speedway. 1t Is third
