If I am not imposing too much on
good nature, please advise as to the
| following: What is Sam Crawford's
age? Do all the pros at the Velo-
| drome receive a bonus? What make
! of bike does most of the racing fra
ternity use? Where is the Peerless
made? Where are Marcus Hur-
! ley and Teddy Ellington these days,
and what are they doing? Did Hur-
| ley ever turn pro? Your sporting
comment is most interesting, and so

thing is due you for Newark coping

| your writings put enthusiasm and
ginger in the players and fans. Best
regards to you. May your fame never
grow less. READER.
Sam Crawford is thirty-four. Most
of them do. Most of the cyclists use
a foreign-made wheel. The Peerless
is made in Buffalo, n. Y. Hurley is a
broker in New York and Ellington

In this large city of Newark we
have fine large police force which
gets many hero write-u in local
newspapers for things they never sue
coed in doing. On Saturday evening,
shortly after 6 O'Clock, a team of
horses bearing behind them an adj
Vertisement of the old convict ship
Success, became frightened which re-
suited in a runaway. This happened
at Washington and Market streets
The hero comes to light in the Sun
day morning paper. If the papers of
Newark have to get along by pulling
good with the cops, why it's about
time they busted" business. Now,
let me tell you that l was there, and
l cannot see where Mr.. William Null
lin gets credit for stopping the horses
and saving scores of lives, when he
"ducked' behind d pole and let two
employees of the Public Service do
the work for which he got credit.
Maybe when the copper" sees this
letter in your column he will have
nerve enough to answer and prove
that he did or did not stop these poor,
dumb animals from continuing
farther in their wild dash.
A WITNESS.
You ought TO join the Solomon
League" in which the members are
great for giving credit where credit is
due. Why pick on the ''cops? Did
you ever meet two finer men in your
days walk than j. Farrell and p.
Ryan? If you're jealous, admit it; if
you're not, forget it.

Daniel breaks forth into poetry
again:
A FANS DREAM.
Last night / lay dreaming of the
Celebrating Day.
| thought the park was crowded, but
the pennant was away,
tried SO hard to find it. but my ef
forts were in vain,
To bring it back TO Newark every
muscle did I strain.
I watched the golfers golfing, the fun
it was immense.
To see them send the little ball right
over centre fence.
The players were presented with
thousand dollar note.
But Mr.. S. was left outside and this
fairly got his goat.
Then came the record breakers, twas
hundred yards, You see,
Bell only got second prize in race
with him and Lee.
1 was really so delighted at the way
/ passed the day,
ordered drinks TO every fan before
/ went away.
Ihen came the mai stages as the
curtain dropped between,
came home broke. then l awoke, and
found it all a dream.

Can a saloonkeeper refuse a man

out a cause? j. Il. Y.
We have no idea what has caused
the sudden reluctance on the part of
these liquor dealers to part with their
wet goods. But we do know that in
the past few weeks we have an
swered this question no less than
456,9S6 times by actual count. Now
J. e. Y, although we had sworn never
to answer this query again we will
make an exception in this case, as
you may have been in Hoboken or
abroad when the answer was printed.
