Perhaps there is nothing so typical
of New York as the summer street
crowds. Their curiosity is excited and
risibilities amused by almost anything
deviating from the ordinary in the
slightest degree An illustrative Incl.
dent happened the other day. A fire
alarm sounded from Mail street and
almost instantly, as though produced
by Aladdin lamp, a throng of more
than $4,000 men and boys with a fair
sprinkling of women and girls, sur.
rounded the place coming from Broad.
way, Park Row and Nassau street. IL
was nothing but blazing pot of tar,
but the crowd watched Il absorbedly
until the honk.hank Of big touring
car was heard at city hall. Instantly
the crowd forgot the tar barrel and
looked in the direction of the new di
version. They saw European opera
singer with extraordinarily high heeled
shoes and monogramed hose of the
sheerest silk, alighting at the entrance
Of the marriage license bureau. The
fire was quickly forgotten aud the 25..
600 at once surrounded the front en-.
trance of city hall where they waited
until the high heels again lifted their
fair owner into the tOnneau.

Games Are Played Until Midnight on

New York, July Probably no
where in the world do folk burn the
candle at both ends as they do in New
York. Several hundred thousand men
and women work all night throughout
the city, and places of amusement and
recreation run half the night. The
very latest thing in "night life, "
though, is tennis by night. Up on Riv-
erside drive and in several other places
they now have tennis courts brilliant
ly illuminated by electricity, and games
are played until midnight or later.
Players gather there from all parts of
Manhattan and there is always a big
gallery made up of the apartment
house dwellers who seek the drive for
a bit Of fresh air.
In the hot months thousands of
those who gof or amusement and sea
air to Coney Island remain on the
beaches until the wee sma hours, and
it is dawn before they get back to
town. The cabarets and restaurants
where there is dancing keep open until
Inspector Dwyer's men compel them
TO close. Throughout the entire night,
in summer, automobiles are seurrying
up and down Broadway, through Cen.
trail, Van Cortlandt and Bronx parks
and all over Long Island, filled with
men and women taking the cool night
air.
Even the church has turned night
into day after a fashion, several of the
downtown Catholic and Episcopal insti-
tutions having inaugurated special
masses and services at a. m. and a.
m. for night workers. A few of those
who work while the average citizens
sleep are the crews that run the all
night cars of the subway, elevated and
surface lines, mattresses, cooks, and
walters in the all.night restaurants, the

character have been of small sums OF
cash. but in each instance many rooms
were found thoroughly ransacked Evil

None of the robberies have been of
large sums.

ored woman is believed to be rospon-
sible, WAS yesterday afternoon when
