SHERIDAN STREET FINISHED.

The city Is to be congratulated
that the Sheridan street paving is
finished. The condition of that
thoroughfare during the past sum
mer has brought more discredit on
Perth Amboy than anything else.
Being the approach to the bridge
over the Raritan river, 1T is travel
ed daily but hundreds OF autoists,
many OF whom got their first Inn
pressions of the city by passing
through that street. Now that the
ssreel Is well paved 1t would be a
credit to any municipality.
The satisfactory name In which
the Jersey Central Traction Com
pany took care of that portion of the
street between Its rails is also
worthy OF special mention. II 81,
its dealings, this concern seems to
be a corporation .that's different"
1t tries to see how well 1t can do a
Job and how much 1t can do for the
public, instead Of trying to shirk
as much as possible.
with Sheridan street in an excel.
lent condition Perth Amboy has
good reason to feel proud of its
streets. There seems to be- little
left to be done along this line, for
the present at least. Next year per-
haps our attention a be directed
towards improvements along other
lines.

CHILDREN AND AMUSEMENT
HOUSES.

Timely action Is taken by the po-
lice Ia enforcing the law prohibit
Ing children under sixteen years OF
age attending places OF amusement
unaccompanied By a guardian. The
EVENING NEWS has frequently
commented on the many boys and
girls whose minds have been cor
rupted and who have been led into
eyti ways By the pictures shown at
these places. While keeping the
boys and girls under sixteen years
old away win not prevent older boys
ard girls seeing pictures that are
not At to be displayed, yet It Is the
ones who are aaya easily
Influenced and a great good can be
accomplished by barring them from
the shows. This also applies to
dance halls which Chief Of Police
Burke has Included in his edict.
The law prohibiting such young
children attending these places UNI
accompanied was put on the statute
books for g purpose and 1t ought not
to be necessary TO urge the author

itfes to enforce u. Policemen too,
often seem to think that they are
Intended primarily to stand on a
corner and make q pleasing appear

these things have their place to be
sure, but the real use OF the police
force y TO . that the law is en-
forced, and to preserve order. The
trouble Is q great many policemen 90
not know the law. with some OF
these important statutes, how
ever, violations OF which are 80 pre-
yalent' the police should be thor

IS BELOVED BY CANADIANS

The Dominion of Canada seems to
be coming upon q new epoch In 9
history. With the passing OF the
liberal party from power the present
governor general. Earl Grey. and his
wife, the much beloved Countess Grey,
win also pass from the stage OF Cana

and duchess of Connaugnt. Probably
no other first lady Of Canada has been
more popular with the Canadian
people than Countess Grey. whose
portrait Is here shown. She Is . wom-
I'm OF personality and charm and from
the time that abe was warmly Re
ceived into the country by the Canadi-
ans she has endeared herself to their
hearts In a way that makes her de-

throughout the Dominion.

STUDY THE RULES"
ADVICE TO TOURISTS
IN RELIABILITY RUN
David Beecroft, Referee in
Glidden Event, Gives
Pointers.
By HARRY WARD.

Contestants in the Four Leaf Clover
Run, which begins next Monday morn
ing under the auspices of the Automo-
bile Club of Washington, will find some
interesting points about reliability con-
tests in the following interview with
David Beecroft, who will be the referee
of this years Glidden Reciprocity Tour,
and who has had vast experience in
automobile contests OF this nature. Mr..
Beecroft was referee and chairman of
the reliability tour promoted several
years ago by The Washington Times,
which was the first automobile endur-
ance contest ever held in this city.
Mr.. Beecroft says:
There are three big problems in con-
Quoting a reliability contest; the first is
to get the officials to understand the
rules; the second is to get the contest
ants to understand the rules; and the
third is to conduct the test. The first
two are the biggest; the third calls for
common sense and some executive abil-
ity. There are more protests caused by
officials and contestants not under
standing the rules than for any other
six causes; in fact, protests are invari-
ably the outcome OF ignorance, there
being few cases where they are directly
due to inefficiency.
"A reliability contest is much like a
battle in a time of war: it is won be-
fore the engagement opens, before the
first shot is fired and often before the
first command is issued. 1t is all case
Of preparedness, doing everything be-
forehand, getting everything ready be-
fore the morning of the start, and,
above all, getting everybody to under
stand everything before car leaves
the official garage. In reliability con-
tests the only rule to follow is: Never
put off until after the contest starts
what can be done before 1t starts In
other words: Read the rules before
the contest opens and not while it is in
progress or after it is over"

tied today for first place in the inter-
high school series for the champion
ship Of the District, each team having
won two games and lost none. Central

Eastern High by 1 to 5.
The game was the best of the present
series. and the result was in doubt to
the end. Eastern led for five innings,
hut in the sixth Central evened I'D mat
ters and put the winning run over IN
the eighth.
Eastern played the best game during
the present series and was quite q
surprise to the o streeters. who were
expecting something rather easy. Cen
tral had to put up an uphill fight all
the way. and its errors were costly,
Eastern felded cleanly ard sore Of the
work OF the infield was excellent.

By Superior Pitching

The quality of pitching handed out by

proved too much for Technical High
yesterday and it succumbed to l at
Kendall Green.
The fielding of both teams was poor
and Techs errors had much to do with
GaIlaudets scores. Garland and Austin
pitched good ball and should have Jared
much better.
