This Is a great country for running. . Kverythin and everybody is on the run. The politicians are running for office. the commuters for their -trains, the city ...funds are running low, the waves of excitement over the coming election are runninsr b ih ana even tne siaia army or. fleers who have accumulated quit an embonpoint durinr tha long years of peace have recently begun to run for exercise In accordance with tlio order of the president. ? This popularity or run? '- nlng haa Induced th Democrat of the - . Second assembly district of Westches - '- ter county to nominate Charles J. Belts . of Mount Vernon, the former 100-yard national champion, for the assembly. For a man of Mr. Selta ability 1n the sprinting line It should be easy to out distance his rivals in the run for of- ' Apropos of running, it may be Inter esting to hear of the experience of some of the college boys In this city th , other day. Half a dor,en of the young athletes, among them Harvey Cohn, the Olympio runner, were taking their doily - constitutional for training the other day, never dreaming that the hand of fate was preparing to overtake them. As usual, the. runners 'were clad in their running toga, kne trunka and sleeve- ib iar.Vat Thev had been out run Ing on Ocean Parkway dally for weeks ' and nobody ever objected until the other maiden.: who happened to be -out drlv- , lng along the boulevard, waa almost shocked into a fit by seeing- the scantily clad six athletes jogging aiong at a brisk trot. How shockingl It was too much for thla modest- young woman. -who would consider it Bhamciessiy in decent to speak of the legs of a table. - She promptly drove to th next police state and mad complaint against the young men who had so terribly shocked her delicate feelings. The situation was new to ' the captain, but the ruf fled feelings of the young; lady aroused his chivalry and be prompted sent out 9 several officers to apprehend the ehame- ' less athletes, who: naa aarea to shook Miss Prudish, Now, policemen are supposed to 'be " able to run fast enough to overtake bur glars and i pickpockets, but they can ' scarcely be expected to overtake Olym pic runners, skimming along a smooth eoulevard, even with an even start As ' It was, the athletes were about one mile ahead by the time the bluecoats started. It was a comical sight to see half -a " dozen well fed' policemen, loaded .down with heavy uniforms and the various . heavy parts ,ofs their accoutrement chasing after six champion runners, a ' ,'mllo or - so ahead of them. Did. they -h them Well, yes; but not until the athletes stopped running and gave ; their 1 pursuers a cnance io cticn up ' with them. The six young men were -..-.torl .nl lilrm to the Ktatinn. from ' whence they wer afterward led before ! a magistrate. As tne complainant. did not appear-against mem mey were mc oultted with a warning to take their ex ercise runs In the future In some local ity where they were not likely to meet with young1 ladies of abnormally devel oped bumps of modesty or prudlshness. Th absurdity of the New York game law wa -clearly demonstrated the other day when the owner of a big I game preserve up state, who had re ceived permission to do so by act of legislature, thinned his herd of deer by hnvlng 26 of tbem shot. To get th venison to th New York market he wa complled to aend with each deer narcass a nresumable huntsman. Th present gam Jaw allows but on head of deer to each sportsman and each hunter can ship no more than a single carcass. To get the 2 deer to New York the owner of the game preserve - was compelled to run a free excursion - from the preserve to Ne- York. The '. citisens of Millbrook. near which vil- lags th preserve is situated, fell all ' over themselves to get In the way of an Invitation for the trip and when the deer carcasses were shipped' they were accompanied by a carfull ef villagers, each of whom waa supposed to bare been the cause of death of one of the deer in th express car. It may te Imagined that the traveling expenses of ' the "hunters'" left but little profit from the sale of the venison, Onoe more a foreign architect has ex-: presoed" hi disapproval of New York's I errhitecture.
