Now that Richmond avenue is getting dressed up in the finest asphalt pavement In the city, tbe park commissioners intend to do what they can to keep the street one of Buffalo's show thoroughfares. The com missioners decided to adopt an ordinance to prevent heavy traffic, such as upon the street. This can be done as Richmond avenue is a park approach. It la necessary to publish notice a. month before final action.

Supt. Seymour was authorized to keep the Humboldt parkway speedway In con dltlon for matinee races. Recently the ap pellate division decided against the city in the action brought by some property owners to compel the park commissioners to open Oak Grove and Loring avenues across the speedway. The court of appeals will pass upon the Although no ministers appeared before the commissioners to request the privilege of holding religious' services in the parks cm Sundays, the Commissioners made it plain that they would not grant such permission, i Permission was given to the Buffalo Tacht Ctub to build a tennis cpurt at the foot of Porter avenue. Another year may see public courts In tbe parks.

The offer of Chicago amusement company to put up aNfew rest and recreation houses in the parka was turned down in the way the park cdmmlssloners have of doing such things The matter was referred to a committee. The company's representative proposed to build the structures Without expense to- the city and to keep them in repair. He showed a picture of one of tbe proposed houses, with a merry-go-round merrily going around inside, which caused Commissioner William F. Kasting to declare emphatically against the while the other commissioners smiled. TO CANCEL STOCK.

ie i Lin mi About $50,000 Damage Done to Buffaloes Big Amuse-. v. ment Resort WILL OPEN TONIGHT. Skating Sink, Theatre, Cave of the Winds and Jefferson Street En-trance Are Total loss. Buffalo's big amusement resort, Lnna Park, at Main and Jefferson streets, was partially destroyed by fire early this morning and about $50,000 damage was done.

The fire, which is supposed to nave been caused by a smoldering cigar butt in the checkroom of the roller skating rink, entirely destroyed the skating rink, the theatre building, including the palm room and cafe, the Oave of the two small concessions on tbe Jefferson street side of the park and the Jefferson street entrance. The Figure Eight was considerably damaged by the flames but Was not destroyed. There is no insurance. The fire was discovered by William Young, night' watchman at the park. He saw flames and smoke coming from the check room in the roller skating rink, and he ran to the fire alarm box and palled an alarm.

Although the first fire apparatus was on the scene in a very few minutes- the fire in this short time, had gained a big start and was spreading rapidly. The bniloings are all of wood, furnishing excellent fuel for flames. By. the time the firemen were able to get a stream on the fire the flames had spread in all directions from the skating rink, the rink itself being a' solid mass of fire. There was no wind.

The theatre on one side be- came ismitea in a snort rime a nn vns soon' a Toaring furnace.

Otto's Team of Fight Men Claim They Played Against a Full Nine and the Umpire. The' 3d annual outing of the Real Estate Association of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday at the home of the Buffalo Canoe Club, near Point Abino. The day was a pleasant one, and all who made the trip went home well satisfied, with the many features on the program provided by the entertainment committee, of which W.T. 1 Atwater was chairman, The active and associate members of the association and their guests, the representatives of the press, left Buffalo at 2.15 p. m.

on the steamer Americana, At Crystal Beach they took a Steam launch for the Canoe Club. The event of tlit afternoon was a baseball Same between W. E. Otto's Mudlarks and George H. Sickels's Sandflies.

Mr. Otto played against his opponent's team with eight men. He also had to contend against the umpire, President Squire. At least that is the claim made by Mr. Otto.

The feature of the game was the of Mr. Sickles and the catching of W. B. Otto, although Mr. Otto's.

son, "Jack," was one of ithe strong players opposing bis father's team. It was a rare treat to see such old timers as Charles Warner stop grounders at third base and A. L. Higley chase flies out in center field but the richest treasure on either teem was V. T.

Atwater, who would hate played an errorless game but for the sun, which blinded him every time the ball came his way. After the ball game there was a swimming match in which there were about 80 starters, not including D. F. Boechat who was scratched at the last minute. Many of the real estate men thought that the biggest" card on the program was the dinner at the clubhouse, where they showed a capacity for putting away food that would have done credit to a bunch of men engaged in a more labor-ions occupation.

The after-dinner speaking was cut Hudson Oxfords, all leathers, all colors, $3.50, $4.00, $5.00.

Original Shylock Was a Christian, According to Rabbi Calisch, of Richmond, Va.

A bitter attack upon Shakespeare becaasa of his creation of the character of Shylock was the feature of last evening's session of the summer assembly of the Jewish Chautauqua Society at the Apollo Club. "The Jew In Fiction" was the subject with which Rabbi Edward N. Calisch of Richmond, dealt and in which be cri- tlclsed Shakespeare. At ths outset Rabbi Calisch asked why there was no Mrs. Shylock and answered the question himself by stating that bad there been a Mrs.

He continued: "The fact that Mrs. Shylock doesn't exist is the greaest tribute to Jewish womanhood in the whole field of Had there upon on the Rlalto he would never bad treasured up that spirit of vengeance which caused him 1 to' exact, his pound of flesh. Then, too, if there had been a mother's influence, Jessica, Shytock's danjrhter, could never have been the character Shakespeare made her.

Such a thins would have been Impossible In a Jewish home. with all bis great genius and art, was a canny, thrifty, saving bust. whn nes wno oe wrote, always naa ms eye on tne nox ornce, eontinaea Rabbi Calisch. "He wrote The Merchant or Venice at a time when England was very bitter and strongly prejudiced against A Taws wr nrtufoall T.v, r. in tbe country at the time and It Is hardly possible that Shakespeare ever saw a Jew or had a chance to study their character.

Boderigo Lopes, a Spanish Jew, bad gained admittance to England nnder tbe pretext that he was a Spaniard. He gained favor at tbe court of Queen Elisabeth be- cause of bis great learning. Later a charge of treason and an attempt on the life ot th mnMli him and lie was banged. This incident excited ths populace and Shaespeare wrote' his play to Appeal to the popular prejudice. "The story of the pound of flesh, was stolen from a French novel of the period of 1250.

In the original as recited by the Troubadours, however, tbe money lender who exacted his pound of flesh was a Christian and not a Jew. It is very evident that Shakespeare wrote this, play solely to take advantage of public clamor and ride on the wave of popuaity. In discussing tbe address. Rabbi Samuel -Tburman of claimed that Shylock was not a type of the Jew of ths middle ages but rather of the present-day 'Chrtotian monopolist. President Israel Co wen of Chicago delivered bis address, which was on the program for tbe' opening session.

He arged that the efforts of ths society be directed towards modifying the prejudice which exists against ibs Jew, who has to suffer from a legacy of atrocities of ages.
