away this morning, promised to be

before midnight the motor can ' of

and while ferryboats were , run , as
close together as possible they could
not begin to handle the waiting line
of vehicles, each snorting away in it
efforts to" be the first 'to' reach the
Long Island shore,, As the night went
on the number of cars increased and
the roads leading "from Long Island
City to the course r were " jammed
with 'the speeding "cars .bearing ad
ditions to the crowd. At the same
time special railway trains were run
as dost together as safety could al

SERVIANS STIRRED.
To raise a regiment of stout Ser
vians from the colony of Slavonians
who for years has thickly populated
their own quarter in this cosmopoli
tan city is being seriously begun to
day. Leaders among1 these swarthy
compatriots have come to believe
that the hour is near when their coun
try will need their blows arid blood
on its side of the difficulty with, Aus
tria and no time is being lost in ac
tively enlisting volunteers for . real
fighting across' the ocean. Already a
hundred' of the Servian colony are
said to be drafted, ,,and drilling.', for
war, and hundreds more ot these fie
ry patriots are tp-day holding a ral-
iy for recruits. Mo spot on me.giuM?
can be effected, it wouia seem, wu
out strong reflex action upon' this
Hy of all nations. '
Hell, in attemotinc to cross the street
in front of his home in Long Island
City, dodged the on-coming line of
automobiles, only to step In front of
a trolley car which instantly ground
him to death' under Its wheels. -
-Those wfio; went early' to the
course In the hope of obtaining a lit
tle slceo before the beginning of the
race were disappointed for every ho
tel and very farmhous anywhere near
the track was so'crowded with peo:
pie as to make sleep impossible. ,
Everywhere there was the din of
honkinir horns and. the yells anl
laugh of the crowd that moved ghost
like through the blackness of the star
less night, illuminated only by the
brilliant fleeting flashes of thousands
of headlights. (
Everywhere there were .pedestri
ans dodainir across roads and around
! corners, appearing suddenly for an
instant brilliant ' in the. glare of
headlight and then so suddenly, dis
appearing Into the darkness. It was
such a acene as can only be witness
ed on the night before a Vanderbilt
cup race, 1 acene that cannot be de
scribed, a 'scene thai "cannot be ima
gined, a acene that,, once witnessed,
lives forever In. the memory. ' "
The pessimistic predictions of the
weather man calling for showers for
today seemingly had no effect On the
crowd for when the cold dull morn
ing broke, every vantage . place
around the twenty three mile course
was crowded and still the line of
motor cars came down the roads and
still the special trains discharged their
hundreds. . '
With the first, break of dawn the
eat racing machines were dolled
out of their quarters, drivers and
mechanicans gave them their last
grooming and one after another the
cars that 'are to make the big fight
for. the cup moved . out on to the
track an were' given their--RrelimU
nary" warming ' up" runt along the
cement track in front of the big of
ficial grandstand which by this time
was crowded to its; capacity with ettt
thiisiasts.4 who, cheered the . various
driver aa they passed, dimly reeog-
nizeable in the dim early light. '
A CAMPAIGN IN COURT,
Right tt the heart of the grim old
Criminal Court Building, where hun;
dreds of souls' are daily turned to
prison terms " or liberty, there has
penetrated to-day the most vital in
terest that a campaign of the out
side state has ever' roused among the
officials and subjects of the law. To
thousands of the court employees and
the, poor, who must seek justice here,
the memory of young Chanler, and
hisycarj of championing the friend
less plaintiffs at Die bar has been kept
fresh. The veteran f newspaper ; men
w.io still' seek stories from the daily
grind -of, the courts are talking to
day pf, the palmy,' days whens the vol
untary representation of ragged un
fortunates by this youthful counsel
was, always good for the best of hu
man interest yarns. To see the vig
orous' Mr., 'Chanter strip off his fur
coat and clap it on the back , of some
shivering subject for, whom he had
woii justice in court was worth all
thef 'other sights and sounds' of the
gloomy old building, they declare.'
Liff an death, and liberty! are( usii
ally. the, prime interests' in this cas
tle for sentence and acquittal, and it
is seldom that the support of other
causes enters in so warmly,

HETTY IN, HOBOKEN.
No one was surprised to learn to
day that Hoboken instead of Fifth
Avenue is" to house Hetty Green, the
frugal financier, this coming winter.
Back to the region where the humble
cave-dweller pays less than a dol
lar a day for his living niche in a
waste of cheap structure, the lady
magnate ; is ; to-day wending her
steps in a close search for cheap
quarters, To everyone who interview
ed Mrs. Green, as she tried to endure
the. luxury .of hotel life in Gothan last
season it was j macle plain that she
was sorely distressed at her wild ex
travagance. Owning some of the
most ' pretentious hotel arid ' apart
ment structures In' the country, this
keen woman ' investor has sought
peace and personal pleasure on 'the
cheap outskirts ' of Hobokeri;' and
New York is not greatly "piqued1'
thereby. ' ! J'u'.'; '''''". ;-'' '

Men and Young Men,
To be well-dressed in these days, is not i much a matter of in
dividual judgment in the selection of one's clothing, as good judgment
In the selection of one's clothier. '
As a store which caters to the requirements of men of taste, we
take pride in having clothing which we can guarantee to be not only
the very best possible value in materials and workmanship, but thor
oughly up-to-date in style, and has the good fit necessary to a well
dressed, gentlemanly appearance. .
This "HERMANWILE. clothing of which we illustrate a few of
the new styles, is one of our leading lines, because nowhere in the
market c?n we find clothing of such superior excellence, to sell for
such reasonable prices as we ask for it.
Every garment is hand-tailored throughout it is made by Union
Workmen in a dean sanitary factory and so exceptionally good is it
In every quality which adds value, that it is generally known as the
clothing that is "Better than Custom Made." 5
We ar anxious to have you call and examine these garments be
fore you purchase your new Fall outfit, as we are confident that a
careful comparison with other lines of clothing which you may be
offered will convince you that our claims of ,-. '
better
bettejr
better
better
are based on the actual merit of the clothing itself. '
And when you have seen the exceedingly tasteful patterns in the
newest and most popular colorings when you have tried it on and
: seen the distinctiveness which the exceptional style and fit give you,
you will be satisfied that nowhere can you do better, and will' boy,,
this clothing. " ,;
