COURT SEQUEL
 TO WEDDING FEAST

The latest idea in wedding feasts, at least from a foreign point of view, seems to be the holding of a free fight after the ceremony and then airing the whole thing in the city court Last night Charles Gross and Miss riage and a. reception was held at the RakosZy hall in Bostwick avenue. Everything went we'll until the liquid form of hops was distributed. It was direct from the FNatherland and no one could drink too much of it. It's ef- feet was startling, for every one want ed to make a speech at the same time and every one fought for his rights. Joseph Singer attempted to address the guests from the platform in the hall and was promptly pulled off the stage by Frank Rosenbaum,. a trolley car conductor. Of course a lively fight ensued and Julius Klein ran to the rescue of one or both of the con testants. Then Klein became prln- cipal in the scrap and in a short time all three were mixing it up in the most approved style.
 Officer Edward Mccarthy appeared on the scene and arrested Klein. The latter seemed to be in hard luck from the start as the thoughless master of ceref1onies neglected, either intention ally or otherwise. to send him an inv1- tation, but, nothing daunted, he at tended just the same with the above stated disastrous results. It took over an hour to hear the case in the city court this morning although the relative importance of the case called for about a ten minute hearing. Wit nesses galore were on hand and no two of them had the same idea lof what happened Klein was fined $lU and costs Attorney Israel Cohn ap- peared in his behalf.

WANT TEST CASE
 or HEALTH BOARD

Alderman George H. Zink of the 12th district thinks it is high time that a t6st case should be made of the right of the Board of Health to frame ordi- nanees
 The smoke and noise nuisances from tf3e East End yards of the railroad 71Ssntinl1e to annoy the residents of the 42fh district who have again appealed tT AIderman George H. Zink of that fifstrict to do something to remedy the trouble. s Alderman Zink. w. HI. Baird. and former Alderman Jacob Borstel- man who is now in Europe, form the cfyfnrnittee appointed several weeks APO by Mayor Lee to take steps to- Wards preventing smoke and nolse IlsIisancee in the various parts Of the city. They managed to get me raait road to appoint inspectors in the East F5nd yards whose duty it was to el1mi- nate all unnecessary noise. For lime there was g. decided improve y,7eY,f ff, the conditions. but the 1nspec- tors have apparently ceased to inspect and tlle residents are again up II arsfls. The Central avenue bridge was yerakred so that the smoke no longer comes up through the flooring. but the engines continue to stop near the bridge and shower the passers-by with dust and cinders. Through a recens act of the legislature the Board or Health has been given the power to create ordinances in regard to sucn nuisauces, but the officials do not wish t, act as they feel that the act must hn ,ynconstitutional. Alderman Zink said fhis morning that the people fLernzelyes might as well test the act iy, tl1s courts first as last and then the board will know where it stands.

lAIykEt BOAT
 JOYETTE WINS
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Marblehead, Sept. 3.-The American boat, Joyette, won the Sonder race to- day.
 The Joyette crossed the finish line at 2:24:35. The Hevella was second, followed by the Ellen, Marguerite, See hund IT, and Wolf.
 The preparatory whistle was sound ed at il o'clock this morning and five minutes later the ball dropped from the masthead of the tug Orion, lndl- eating that the races would be start ed promptly on time. At 11:lO the ball dropped for the second time and 10 seconds later the six yachts had crossed the line so closely together that a chalk line would have reachced every bow. Immediately the Ellen took a slight lead.
 On the first leg of the race the Am erican yacht Ellen showed her super iority in light wind work and easily slid away from the rest of the yachts. At the end of the first leg which was completed at 12:04:40, she had lead made the turn in the following order: Ellen, Joyette, Wolf, Hevella, Marga- rethe and Seehund II.
 A mile past the first turn the Joy cite picked up the Ellen and cut down her lead very slightly with the re-
 
 the leaders and the race less than half over. The Ellen retained a slight lead while the Hevella crowded the Joyette out of 2nd place. The wind continued very light and unless it freshens up the boats are not likely to finish within the time limit.
 The Hevella finished the second leg at f2:55 o'clock, followed by the Ellen, Seehund II, Joyette, Wolf and Marga- rethe.
 e A few hundred yards from the flag which marked the end of the second leg, the Hevella, took first position and crossed the line at 12:55 with the El- len less than half a minute behind The other boats passed the flag near ly minutes behind the leaders. Just as the Hevella, took the lead the Pres idential yacht Sylph bearing the Pres ident and his guests left for Burgess Point The order of the yachts on this leg was: Hevel1a, Ellen, Seehund II, Joyette, Wolf and Margarethe. With the wind freshening as the yachts went down the first leg on the second round the Americans picked up on their German rivals, the Ellen passing the Hevella and being in turn passed by the Joyette which led at | the turn. which she made at 1:4S 1 When the boats got away for the l last leg all American boats were Tn l the lead and their prospects were good for a most exciting finish

 New York, Sept 3.-The apprehen- sion felt in Wall street circles over the report that President William E. Corey of the United States Steel Cor por7atton was seriously injured by his fall on his yacht prompted the state ment from the offices of the steel cor poration this afternoon that the steel magnate's condition is improving rapidly and that he expects to be at his office on Tuesday. It was report ed that Corey had suffered three sep arate fractures of the leg but at his apartments it develops to-day that a single fracture and strained liza ment comprise his injuries.

Animals Ars Poor Sailors.

The polar bear is the only wild ami nal that likes a trip on the water, ac- cording to a French scientist who has studied it's behavior at sea. He is quite jolly when aboard ship, but all other animals violently resent such a voyage and vociferously give vent to their feelings until seasickness brings silence. ''-5
 The tiger suffers most of all. He whines pitifully, his eyes water con tinually, and he rubs his stomach with his terrible paws. Horses are bad sailors and often die on a sea voyage.
 Oxen are heroic in their attempts not to give way to seasickness. Ele- plants do not like the sea, but they are amenable to medical treatment. A good remedy is a buckeful of hot wa ter containing three and half pfnts of whisky and seven ounces of qui- nine.-Fur News.

based on the report that the Cook ex- petition was not heavily financed or properly equipped, report which later statements show to be untrue. Had the doctor made the trip with no other equipment than that indicated in the first stories, one paper says, the result would have warranted the view that the discovery was a. splendid sporting achievement rather than an expedition of real value to science.
 Lieutenant Shackleton still stands by Dr. Cook, his only doubt being as to the temperature, 83 degrees below zero, that Dr. Cook reports when crossing EIlsmere Sound. Shakleton thinks this temperature is too low.
 Dr. Hugh Robert Mill, author of the Siege of the South Pole'' and a mem Der of the Royal Geographical Society, is questioning with other members of vations of Dr. Cook. But here again the doubt results from the belief that the expedition was the outgrowth of a pleasure trip which could not have Nhad the necessary scientific equipment. The most serious doubt of all, how ever, continues to be the reported speed at which Dr. Cook travelled from Cape Hubbard to the pole. Unless he found conditions wholly different from those found by every other Arctic ex- was possible for him to average about 13 miles a day.
 ICELAND EDITOR CREDITS TT. Detroit, Mich, Sept. 3-David Ost- lund, editor of the F'rackorn at Reyk- gavik, Iceland, declares today that he scredits in every way Dr. Cooks ac- count of his discovery of the North Pole.
 Ostlund was passing through Detroit on his way to Battle Creek to visit his mother. His paper, the largest in the far north, is largely devoted to explor- ation. 'I am confident he said, tthat pr. Cook reached the pole. There are no sensible reasons for believing anything else. It seems to me that his plan of using the winter months for travelling is very good as may be seen from his report. He found the regions so solid that he could make progress all the time. It has been disastrous to many explorers because they have chosen
 summer time instead of winter
 EXPLORERS CLUB RECEPTION. New York, Sept. 3.-The directors of the Explorers Club of New York of which Commander Robert B. Peary is president, and Dr. Frederick A. Cook a former president. will meet late today to make tentative arrangements for the welcome home which will be ten dered to Dr. Cook upon his return to
 America The officials of the club do
 not believe that Dr. Cook will remain
 away long. The members of the Elk
 plorers' Club, which numbers some of the foremost scientists and explorers | in America, accept without question the announcement that Dr. Cook has reached the pole. These men say that he went fully prepared for the trip both as a scientist and as a man of stamina, and are planning to receive him as befits his accomplishments. While nothing has been done toward | arranging for entertaining the intrepid explorer. it is said pr. Cooks recep- | tion to America will be such as has never before been witnessed.

She Was No Child.

This college professor, like many other men of erpdition, was fond of Lewis Carroll. While visiting his sis ter he asked his niece, a miss of lif- teen, to get Through the Looking Glass; for him from the public libra ry. She evidently did not like the task, and he asked her the reason. With some hesitation she replisd: "Oh, I'll get it if you really want it. But l don't like to have the librarian think that I read children's books. .''-New York Tribune.
