4 BRIEF CHARGE.

One of the shortest summings.up on
record is believed to be that delivered
by the late Commissioner Kerr at the
Old Bailey in a case where a man was
charged with being in the unlawful
possession of a gold watch and chain.
The appearance of the prisoner GER
tainly did not correspond whit ne legit-
innate possession of such costly orna-
ments, but ne asserted his innocence OF
the charge, and declared that he had
found the watch and chain on the
pavement.
The judge looked at the man in the
dock and then at the men in the box.
Gentlemen Of the jury" he said.

WINTER SPORT
AT ASBURY PARK
Ice Boating, Skating and Sled
ding Are Added to Re-
sorts Diversions.

Asbury Park, N. j.. Dec. i9.-Resl
winter weather for the last week has
made skating, shedding. hockey and ice
boating the popular diversions here.
Asbury Park has unusual natural adj
vantages for visitors who enjoy these
winter sports. Wesley Lake. at the
south end of the resort, Sunset Lake
in the centre and Deal Lake 81 the
northern boundary, all afford oppor-
tunity to participate in these sports
with practically no danger OF drowning
accidents. The lakes are only about
three feet deep, although they cover a
large area.
The Crescent Athletic Association.
which was formed here only few
weeks ago, has enrolled more than $50
members to date. The clubhouse, which
was formerly "The Asbury Park Times"
building, has been entirely remodelled,
and among other features has the lsrg-
est inclosed basketball court in the
state. The complete gymnasium equip
ment arrived this week and has been
put in place. The handball court was
completed Tuesday. The Crescent Glee
Club met on Monday for the first time
to arrange a schedule of concerts for
the winter.
Arrangements are being made by
President Laughlin x. Hetrick Of tho
Asbury Park Chapter OF the American
Bankers Institute for a banquet for
Monmouth County bankers the latter
part of January. The banquet will be
open to the public.
The members Of the Tuesday Whist
Club were entertained at a bridge
luncheon at the home Of Mrs. Linnie
Hetrick, Edgemont Drive, Loeb Arbor,
on Tuesday. High scores we're won by
Mrs. d. W. Sisson, Mrs. Albert McCabe
and Mrs. Arthur F. Cottrell. The club
guests were Mrs. Claude English and
Miss Mabel Green.

Atlantic City is next door to an unlim-

by the sea have but to venture across

THE WINTER SHOW
OF THE ACADEMY

Meanwhile VIC must confess 10 GER
tain prediction for the sculpture
touched by life. What makes the
bronzes at the Academy worth while is
their mere vitality. The strain crops
out IN much of the portraiture. in busts
like Mr.. Quinn's Francis wilson," Mr.
Salvatore's Indian head. "Big Tree"
and Mr.. Konti's Portrait of Lady"
Ii is there, too, in the best way, as a
sort of groundswell underlying fine
achievement, not as mere violent self
assertion. Witness, for example, the
fusion of strength with a purely ex-
quisite quality in Mr.. Fraser's lovely
MASK" n head of woman which is
in the first place thoroughly we'll
modelled and then has, spperimposed
upon its sound technique, truly
poetic interest. IL is the perfect bal
ance between technique and idea that
is forever 10 be sought Mr.. Fraser
approaches il again in his big circular
relief. Portrait of Flora and Sonny
Whitney" His modelling counts. we
repeat, but the beauty Of the work is
due quite as much to the felicity of de-
sign attained by the artist. IL is de-
sign that wins us, no less than force in
characterization, in the relief by Mr.
Herbert Adams, the gravely pondered
"Richsrd Mansfield" 1t is a notably
fine portrait and we enjoy il for that
reason, but we end by rejecting on the
art with which the sculptor has made
composition out of his subject, lifting
1t TO a higher plane through his deco
rativc charm. There is clever modelling
to be observed on every hand, and we
would not underestimate its signif
canoe. The workmanlike statuette is
TO be received with gratefulness. But
we owe a double debt to the sculpt-
ors whose work is more than clever.
The best tribute that we can pay to
the sculpture room in this exhibition
is 10 say that the perfunctory things
in il are somehow overshadowed. 1t
is true that many of the pieces are
far from promoting anything like ex-
citement in the mind of the observer,
but at least they give him a certain
pleasure and frequently they add the
special accent which interesting per-
sonality alone can give. Let us note,
for example, the exhibits of Miss
Grimes. Mrs. Burroughs, Mr.. Polasek,
Mr.. Keyser Mr.. Akeley and Mr.. Ricci.
They help to enforce the fact that
American sculpture is not standing
still.

to the pious hope that perhaps even
those who hate everything that is new
will be led TO view the unfamiliar and

This solicitude is touching. Mr.. Gregg
continues in this wise:

Seattle, Aug. 26.-The Pacific Alaska
Navigation steamer Admiral Sampson
was sunk this morning at Point NO
Point, twenty miles from Seattle, by
the Canadian Pacific liner Princess
Victoria. The Princess Victoria, re-
porting the accident, said she was pro-
ceeding to Seattle with most OF the
passengers and crew of the Admiral
Sampson. The Admiral Sampson was
bound from Seattle to Alaska. She had
ffty-six passengers and crew OF
sixty five.
The Admiral Sampson sank In four
minutes. The collision took place al
$50 this morning. The Admiral Wat
son. bound for San Francisco, was
near the scene of the accident at the
time.
Collision Due to Fog.
The air was heavy with smoke and
fog and it Is supposed the collision was
due to this cause. The Princess Vic
toria was bound from Victoria to
Seattle. She makes no mention OF
damage to herself In her brief report
to her owners. II the boats were in
the regular channel. the Admiral
Sampson must have gone down In deep
water and may be q total loss.
