suggestions and ask questions. 1t is
hoped there will be a large audience at
the court house tomorrow.
At the hearing besides technical sug
gestions from assessors answers will be
invited to the following questions:
Real estate Are assessments in the
county satisfactory If not. what is the
character of the inequality Is there such
general differentiation in one or more
tax districts as to discriminate against
other districts in the amount of county
tax paid Is there discrimination between
classes Of property In district If 80,
which of the following are overvalued or
under valued In comparison with others
(a) business property, CD factory proper
ty, Co residence property, (d) farm
property, (e) suburban lots Is there dis

ments and live stock, % machinery, (c)
merchandise, Cd household goods (e)
money and credits.

sion on the subject of assessment. Espec-
tally has this been so since the County
Boards of Taxation were appointed.
There has been much criticism on the
assessment of property and the difference
In values in various localities. The meet
ing tomorrow will give all chance to ex-
press ideas on the subject and if those
who have been free with their criticisms
In private will come out and give public
utterance to their views the result cannot
be other than beneficial. The commission
is seeking information and will gladly
welcome any and all who will aid in i'm
proving what has always been a vexed

Marlin, Tex, Feb 3.-Arrivals in Camp
McGraw to-day were Fullenwider, young
pitcher: Arthur Shafer and a cold, steady
rain that fell without intermission from
daylight until long after dark. There was
no chance for the rockies" TO do any road
work, as the highways OF Marlin were too
deep in mud. They rather welcomed the
forced holiday. as most Of them are suffer
ing from some lameness.
Judging from the soaking that Emerson
Park got to-day there will be no pastiming
there until Monday. Nobody can predict
this Texas weather, but to a man from up
North It looks that II the storm Is going to

period.
The arrival OF Shafer and Fullenwider
completes the squad OF youngsters. All OF
the new men are here now except Robert
son, A pitcher who is going 10 school in
South Carolina, and will not report until
June. Robertson, whom McGraw regards
as a strong big league possibility, has not
signed a contract, but the club has an
agreement with the player and his father
which ties him to the Giants
This is shafer's third season with the
Giants. Like Harry Mccormick, he is a

off last season and remained in Los An

LEWIS BITES THE DUST HOCKEY CLUB SHUT OUT
Crescent Seven Win Easily and
Ties Wanderers for Lead.

In the toughest as well as the most one
sided hockey game seen at the ST. Nicholas
Rink this winter, the Crescent Athletic
Club seven defeated the Hockey Club OF
New York last night by q score OF to 0,
which sounds like forfeited baseball game.
The Hockey Club players might as well
have forgeited for all the chance they had.
and, incidentally, many hard knock would
have been saved.
The teams OF the Crescent A. G. and
Wanderers are once more on exactly even
terms In the Amateur Hockey League
championship race. both having won five
games and lost one. Apropos Of roughness,
let II be mentioned that no less than ten
penalties were imposed during the two 20
minute halves. majority OF these penal
ties were imposed on the Crescent players,
who did some OF the most artistic tripping
and cross-checking seen here in q long
time.
Tho downtrodden Hockey Club skaters
worked like Trojans, but the harder they
worked the harder they fell. There's q
tuneful song entitled. IT'S Long lane
That Has No Turning" but the betting
now Is that the Hockey Club seven will not
sing II this season. Last nights affair
made the seventh consecutive defeat.
Early In the first half Shirreff was penal.
tied for tripping Mckenzie, and little
later Kennedy scored the first goal getting
, the puck on a pass from behind the op.
posing net. Kennedy's next stunt was not
so creditablc as II consisted Of stick slash
ing that cut an ugly cash in Brittons cheek
close 10 the eye. Britton refused 10 quit
although the wound bled freely. ShirrefI
made tho second goal on high lift from
near the centre OF the ice. the time being
l2:25. Less than twenty seconds later
Dolby scored again In a scrmmage. That
ended the talying in tho first period.
Ten seconds after the face-off In the sec
ond half Scarborough, Crescent's new left
wing scored a goal. After securing the
puck he carried it unassisted through the
opposition Scarborough is an aggressive
and fearless player and has the makings
OF star. Throughout this period the pip
ing of the referees whistle became a IA
miiar sound, for when some one was not
offside another would be guilty Of tripping
or even worse. The speedy Britton was
roughly handled. and so was Mckenzie,
who finally retired in favor OF Carter
There was a fair sized crowd present,
but II had 10 wait twenty minutes beyond
the regular time for starting the game while
, the management hunted up officials.
The summary follows:

HILDRETR TO STAY HERE
Decides Against Training the
Kohler Horses in England.

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel c. Hildreth returned
to Sheepshead Bay on Thursday morning
after a nine weeks visit 10 Aiken, S. G..
Mr.. Hildreth said that he had decided TO
remain in this country permanently and
not go abroad. He so advised Charles
Koher, for whom he is training Fitz Her
bert, Zeus. Novelty and other stake win
ners, and in response received a cable mes
sage from Mr. Kohler saying to keep the
stable at sheepshead Bay.
Mr.. Koher had left the shipment of the
string TO England entirely in Hidreth's
hands; consequently, 1t is plain that tho
millionaire owner who had decided TO race
his horses against Great Brltain's best is
determined that they shall remain In the
care of the man who prepared and raced
them with remarkable success.
On Mr.. Hildreth's arrival at the barn he
lost no time in having the members Of his
establishment led out OF their boxes for in
spection. Their appearance was gra atifying,
and Mr.. Hildreth complimented David J.
Leary. who has been in charge during his
absence.
The Futurity winner Novelty has grown
an inch since he went into winter quarters.
He also has thickened out all over and is
one of the most robust horses now quar-
tered on Long Island. While looking him
over Hildreth said: 'I'd like TO see him
meet a field of sprinters in one of the
chute races on the other side"
Fitz Herbert, winner OF the Suburban
Handicap and other stakes OF Importance,
is as big as a house. His legs are abso-
lutely clean. however, showing no enlarge
ments Of any sort. Taken all in all, the
big son OF Ethelbert is one Of the finest In
dividuals in America. AS he is perfectly
sound, 1t is probable that he will be put in
training when the weather settles and be

The mystery OF Charley Faust's where

ing McGraw received a telegram from
Bill Dahlen, the Brooklyn manager, who
is at Hot Springs, Ark. 1t reads: "one
Charley Faust blew into town to-day, and
is stopping with me at the Eastman. He
will report to you when he gets in condi-
ton. / hope 1t will be soon. He says he
will pitch left handed this year"
McGraw replied by wire, telling Faust
not 10 hurry, and that he need not report
until March q, which Is the day after the
Giants leave here. But they cannot lose
Charley. Grover Hartley was expected to-
day also. but Joe O'Brien telegraphed that
he would not leave New York until to-mor-

Robinson will handle all the pitchers.
