in 1884 and still later was torn down
and replaced with the building still
in use. More than 10000 of the gradu-
ates of that old school are still liv-
ing and many OF them will take part in
the four days celebration planned
Some members of the gentle sex are
not always quite SO gentle and lamb
like as one might expect them to be.
1t is true, history contains many re-
cords showing that tigers are COM
paratively gentle and harmless crea-
lures compared with Infatuated wo-
men. yet fragrant examples of the
lack OF gentleness in women of the
present day, especially among those
not actively engaged in the suffra
gette business, are always more Of
less shock. There were two such
examples within a few days. A con
stable visited saloon in Yonkers the
other day to cOnflscate the license,
when he was attacked by the woman
who runs the place and nine other
women. The women beat, kicked and
bit the consta BILE and tore every stitch
Of clothing off his body. When the po-
lice arrived ii was found necessary
to use a barrel to convey the constable
through the streets. 1t is reported
that the woman who keeps the saloon
alone bit the man sixteen times and
his body was literally covered with
cuts and bruises. The same woman,
some time ago, attacked man who
came to collect bill and broke near
1x- Of .iI ,nly
his life was despaired Of.
\ young Italian woman came to the
East 1o4th Street police station a few
days ago and requested the lieutenant
in charge to send two policemen to her
house, as a man had been hurt there.
Two detectives were detailed to &C
company the woman and on the way
the woman. who is only twenty years
DID, confessed to the officers that she
had killed her former lover because
he had Tilted her. When the officers
arrived at the house they found the
dead body of the victim, who had been
stabbed by the woman three times in
the head, twice in the neck and four
times in the region Of the heart.
The great reform wave which has
swept over this state during recent
years and has led to war against all
forms of gamblingin-pu blic-is re-
spOnsible for the decline of horse rae
ing in New York. According to ad-
vertisements now appearing in the
daily papers, the old Sheepshead Bay
race track, the scene of many an ex-
citing and famous horse race, is on the
market for sale. The property, which
comprises of 430 acres has an assess
ed value Of $2,75O,0O0, but it is said
that the land can be bought for con-
siderably less than that figure. From
present indications the property will
be offered for sale for residential pur-
poses. The land extends along Ocean
avenue from Neck Road to Voorhees,
avenus, thence to Cedar Woods, and
the waterfront at Sheepshead Bay.
The final public hearing of the bud
get for 1912 was held the other day in
the Council Chamber of the City hall,
and, after the hearing was over, it was
estimated by the officials that the
final figures of the budget will be close
to 100000. This is quite large
sum even for running so large a city as
New York. Police Commissioner Wal
dos request for 1000 additional police
men for next year was struck from the
budget with the consent and approval
of the mayor.
