one Of the most interesting contests
on the programme was the lOO-yard
dash for men twenty years OF more IN
{ IRE service. Nhe prizes in this event
we're donated by The Tribune, and the
3 winner was Detective John w. Finn, an
I oldtime amateur sprinter OF distine-
tion Finn is approaching the half
century mark, but in spie Of his gray
hairs he gave an exhibition which
: ,gouId be creditable to a youngster.

einct, finished only stride behind the
MANY Of the spectators were Of the
opinion that the canine members OF
the Police Department furnished the
best exhibition Of the afternoon. The
police dogs, led on leashes, displayed
Teroarkabie intelligence in making
pseudo arrests of gunner" and bur
glars"
aent won loud plaudits by an exhibit
! ton drill and by the manner in which
tbey executed difficult evolutions. This
/ bodv is composed Of the men on the
force who have won medals for brav-
cry and for lifesaving. The members
: wore their medals during the drill.
An exhibition Of the rescue Of fair
rider from the back Of a runaway
~ NnNg to uT.
until il became known chat the "lady"
rider was none other than Patrolman
Jimmy Burns, Of the Prospect Park
precinct.
Next two mounted patrolmen chased
on open barouche TO which q pair OF
runaway horses were attached and in
which four women" passengers were
riding. As in the former event, the
women" we're youthful members of
the department sttired in feminine
garb.
The drill by a specially selected
squad Of mounted police, consisting of
12O men, was perhaps the most pict-
uresque feature of the afternoon. In
perfect time TO the music of the police
band men and horses went through
various formations, ending with a riot
drill and charge. Two hundred
rockies" from the school Of recruits
gave gymnastic exhibitions, cOnclud
ing with jiu-jitsu contests, wall seal
ing and fire drill. The last event on
the programme was the aeroplane
fight by "Mile-a-Minute" Murphy.
The police aviator circled the track
nine times, ascending to a height of
1900 feet. For a brief space during
his flight the spectators got a slight
shock when his monoplane was caught

threatened 10 turn over. 1t righted
itself Immediately, however, and the
aviator made graceful, gliding de-
scent to the field.
The carnival will be continued to-
day, when an equally extensive pro-
gramme Of events will be given. Gov
ernor Glynn, IN company with Gov
ernor Tener of Pennsylvania, will re-
view the exhibition from the judges
stand, as will also Mayor Mitchell and
members Of the Board of Estimate.
