Under prolongation of present oppressive conditions It is a certainty that the grinding of the chum" mill will be Bllenced and the Dash of the silvery squid will be banished. Everybody but the offending fishermen themselves realize that they are Injuring their own interests by persistence in unrestrained net fishing and that the Inevitable effect of their ill adviaed behavior will be to drive amateur fishermen from the of the bay and discourage thouaanda of Summer tourists from visiting its shores.

Every genuine sportsman will warmly approve the enactment of proper legislation on this subject. General surprise was manifested among the Republicans who attended tho MUler Hlscock mass meeting at the Rink on Wednesday night at tho remarkably smafll attendance. In point of numbers the gathering was such a dismal failure that many persons wore unable to account lor it The result was not oredltpble to the officers of the Kepublican League, whoso manifest incapacity to manago a meeting was freely commented upon by tho spectators. It is true that partisan feeling Is not runrJlng high In Brooklyn at present, but that Is no reason why a United States Senator and one of the leading Republican representatives In Congress should not have been received by an assemblage worthy of the Republicanism of Brooklyn. The fact is that the League, as at present managed.

Is not a popular body. Republicans generally are of the opinion that too muoh time and attention have already been wasted on outside bodies, and that if members of the party really desire to help It they will content themselves with working' through the regular organization. The exisfence of the League Is In Itself confession of weakness and a reproaoh upon tho regulars which the latter by no moans relish. It is a select company which the venerable Commissioner Tom Adams would describe as "all right on dress parade, but not worth a In a genoral engagement." Dubing his canvass for renomiiiatiori Congressman Perry Belmout was a froquent visitor to Brooklyn. Tho necessities of his campaign compelled him to consult several Quoens County residents who transact business in the neighborhood of tho City Hall.

Mr. Belmont made on excellent impression among all with whom he communicated. Those who expected to meot in the young millionaire a simpering exquisite, with the attire of an Anglomanias and the manners of a dude were agreeably surprised by his domooratic simplicity of appearance and behavior. The most consplcious feature of hla costumo was a shockingly bad hat which would have graced a St Patrick's day parade, but which would havo been clearly out of place at a parade of tho Coaching Club. Mr.

Belmout, in speaking of the Civil Service question, said to mo: "Whethor we waut to recognize the fact or not, it Is one of the principal points beforo tho people. My experionco has beer, that tho great majority of tho voters are in favor of tho law and Its rigid enforcement. Of courso, a good many politicians arc opposed to tho idea and not a fow cltl zona are against it as a matter ot principle But tho masses already realize the beneficent effects of the system, aud instead of its withdrawal or modification look for its gradual extension In deferonco to the popular judgment. Sooner or later tho politicians themselves will unreservedly approve tho schemo, as it will relievo them of a world of annoyance and greatly facilitate the practice of thelr pro fesslon on a right basis of action." It is not probable that expressions of dissent from thoso who opposed Mr. Belmont's nomination will exorcise any embarrassing influence on his canvass.

Tho First District is securely Democratic, aud as the Congressman is popular with the voting masses, he Is assured of a big majority on election day. Thebe is, I observe, somo talk of nominating Colonel John Oakoy for the Assombly by the Republicans of tho Eleventh District Thore are few men in the party here bettor kuown than tho Colonel. For( many years ho has boon among tho most popular and argre3sivo of tho Republican stump spoakors, and his reputation "a3 a clovor punster has spread over tho entire city. Even with his political oppononts Colonel Oakey stands well, and his Democratic adversaries would shod no tears If ne should bo chosen. Colonel Oakey served In tho Leglalature more than twenty years ago and was lookod upon as a very useful member.

Sows exception has been token to predictions made in this column that tho Gorman Republicans would not support Mr. Foster L. Backus if he had received the District Attorneyship nomination, because of his well known temperance scruples. Mr. Backus Is not In favor of Prohibition and I do not believe that he Is a fanatic, but tho fact that ho favors restriction of the liquor trafBc would undoubtedly be injurious to him in tho quarters whoro tho Gorman voto is strongest Colonel Roehr is quoted as differing from this view, but It remains for tho Colonel, who happon3 this yoar to bo posing as a Republican, to show that ho is authority as to the iutontion3 of tho German Republicans.

Colonel Roebr's bitter oppnttion to Mr. Blaine, tho Republican candidate for President in 1881, nnd his hostility to Gen eral Catlln, the nominee of the same party for Mayor in 1885, aro hardly recommendations which enable him to perform at this stago of his political GENTLEMEN'S LIST BCTKOson 2 Howe AW Reich RiP Bremerton Dr OHnmmel Adolph Reroher BcttsJohn HnrstMr RjckcordsE Bendslor Chris Hurst Richards FA tian Jngrahen Richards Honor Bnkel Nicholas Jaok Wm Richardson Wm Bristol Wm Jackson Dexter A Right Wm Brodhrad Mr Jackaon Geo Rikol Bogk Jacob Ost Roan Air Blood Jacobs Robinson Mr Bioomei James JalomJnmes Robinson Brodie James James Robins in Hroso James Rodin BrothersWJ Jaunt William RodrnMyles UoemanThcs Jarvie Air Rhndes Brown Air Join Hubert Rome Air Br wn JuhnanE RooneyJbhn Brown Johnst uGcoS Rosenberg Mr Brown Edwin Johnson Ross Brown Henry Jones Rcesajer Brown S.imi'el Jordiu James RotuFS Bouton 2 Rnsenkrantz BovingdonLE Killiroth VB Riidiort BvwlasPA Kaiser A Ruster Jeans Bowers Jobn Kanojohn Schaff SnckMr Kano James Schanley Joseph Bur Air Kane Patk Sclmul Stephen Biirko James Kearney James Schauer Geo Bamett VrmH KelstiyEJ SalecrupJ Burrell Isaac Keating AID SaltalamaccheaX BushO Kl in II Shannon James BurrellWm Kclgutuf Robt Sanders EF Burtnett Geo 2 Kelly Mr Sharp Goo Jl Burr Goo At Kelly Sliaper Ernst Butcher John KoIlyJJ Samnol Buys PTE Kelly Thos Saretto Geo Buys Fred Kerr Atr Scoville Thos Byersjohn Kerrigan Mr Stammer MB BorkmanGoat Kent John Stack Mr Byrno Kcohal Wm Strntfoa Henlt OahillThos Kielyjohn Beaver A O. pels John KingDrOD SeaverJA Caubera Kinseh i Joseph Scheop Ohatlerton Kissnm Will Schoren Cannon HuestonKlin Afr Sheem John Cltiges Kerwin Sherry John ClelrChnaW KriorAndtas Sheehan Patriok Chaubersjohn KoddlngF 2 Soaman Air Clapp Wm Kneuig SemkonJobaGr Clapp LewisS Kloppinger Spencer Clurk Louis KoopJ 2 Spencer WH OHyk Nats Koleger Jr tiersss Wm Carman Dr A Kolegersky Mr SterlyRnd Chase Thos Kruey John Stevenson Cantor Koell' Anton Sexton Isaac Crave Lane Ohas 2 Seymour CuipenterGooV Lano Jamea Schlottenhook Carney Al Langloy Scotland James Lattano Scott Henry CartorWH Lavey Robort Scott Samuel Charters Leahy 31 Shields Geo CaTnsrJohn LeeFP Sidei liug ChlnyHH LeavyJT SimonsJS Ouiry Leavy Sindeii Cicardy Frank Lepman Chas Singleton Christenson Wm Lepman Lewis SinkAIO Ouflln Jr Lereuvre Frapoois Smithsnu Coleman Lelind Frederick Smidt Mr Colliiran James Lonnon Trios Smith Mr 3 Oolligan PoterM Lor fsli Smith Collins Gapt Chas Leon Vonco Smith Cook Lesnels Mr Smith Connor John Lester Mr Smith Convey Wesloy Lester Smith Conway Wm 2 Lester Lawrence Smith Fred Courtney Lioderuain Smith Franois Croft.

The prospectus of still another magazine of art has been issued by GeOrge F. Is to publish it in New York. It is to be callod the American ArtRfview, the same being the title of the excellent and unfortunate periodical undertaken some years ago by Estes Laurlat, of Boston. It really seems as if Americo was large enough to support an art magazine of its own. In tho Art Age for October have been printed Otis Weber's "Harbor Marino," Charlos Piatt's River Marine" and Harlow's Winter Morning," the last being printed, in mpsstypo on Japan paper, with delicate effect At the pretty little picture shop of Fronk S.

There is also a gray effoct in color by Charles Piatt, a light marine by Nell Mitchell and a walsr color, Leaving Home," by Morgan Mcllhonnoy, broadly treated and expressive. Art in dinner cards and menus Is a recent social freak, and occasionally one sees examples of this kind of work that havo decided technical merit Tho Ovlngtons last week filled an order for a lady who gave a dinner party twenty four gueste, at her house on tho Heights, supplying a card for each guest with an elaborato drawing of somo part of tho hostess' richly furnished houso.

FOR THE NEW WARD.

Dloro Rapid Facilities to lo Avkcd for Eight or nine months ago the residents of tho upper distrlot of tho then town of New Lots assembled for the purpose of procuring more rapid transit facilities for their part of the town. A committee was appointed, which waited upon Mr. Maxwell, ot tho Long Island Railroad Company, aud tho result was that twenty two trains wero run between Flatbush avenue and Woodhaven at a fare of five cents from Kldert Lane, tho dividing line between Kings and Queens counties. Another movement is now on foot among the citizens of the upper district to obtain moro transit between their homos and the heart of the city. The people complain that, while they are fairly supplied with trains during the secular days of the week, on Sundays tho company only run six trains between the points in question.

TOOK THE VAIU Miss Iflamle murphy and Idlsa lAzzie Aitken Enter St. Jotteph'u Convent. A very impressive ceremony took place at St. Joseph's Convent, Flushing, yesterday. It was the receiving of the vail of that order by Miss Mamie Murphy, formerly of 731 Bergen street, a graduato ot St.

Joseph's Academy, Pacific street, and Miss Lizzie Aitken, formerly ot 175 Ryorson street, a graduate of St. Josopn's Convent, Flushing, L. Tho ceremony was performed by the Right Rev. Bishop Lougblln. The young ladles wore dresses of white Ottoman silk, court train, with bridal vull and orange blossoms; both carried a bouquet of white roses; Miss Agnes Colton and Miss Mamie Powers acted as bridesmaids.

Miss Murphy shall henceforth be known as Sister St Edward and Miss Aitken as Sister St Aloyslus. BALL OF THE BDWABD J. DUFFY ASSOCIATION. The first annual ball of the Edward J. Duffy Association will be held at the City Assembly Rooms on Bartholdl eve, Wednesday, tho 27th Inst.

The offlcors of the association are William Stratton, president; James O'Nell, vice president; William Clark, secretary Joseph Nagle, corresponding secretary; Francis Ferguson, nnanolal secretary; Cornelius Shea, treasurer, and Cornelius Green, librarian. A pleasant as well as profitable time Is IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT What is Talked About in the Looal Engine Houses. Discussing the Forthcoming Appointment of Assistant Foremen Why the Ringing of the City Hall Bell Is Not Believed in. The Fire Department has its politics as well as the outside world. The announcement that assistant foremen will be appointed throughout the entire department about tho first of tho year has created all sorts of rumors as to who will bo the lucky men.

Of course, the choice will fall upon the older and more experienced members of the department, but there are bo many able veterans to pick from that ovon tho insiders aro unable to do much prophesying. Assistant foremen are greatly needed In the department, as the present duties of tho foremen are far too heavy, requiring their almost constant attendance at tholr soveral stations. The Idea of appointing assistant foremen was flrBt suggested by Chief Nevlns. Between three and four hundred members of the old Volunteer Fire Department Association will turn out on Bartholdl Btatue day. Brooklyn vot erans will bo especially well represented In tho parade.

Nearly every company tho city contains one or moro pf the old boys, somo of them having been in active Borvico for over thirty years. Tho faster the years fly past the more youthful they seem to grow and ono youngster of 60 said yostor day that ho would not miss being In the Liberty parade for an entire month's pay. Peter Campboll, foreman of Seven Truck in tho new Twenty sixth Ward, reports that he is getting everything in good shape. Ho does not find his duties over burdensome, although ho is in dally expectation of a tremendons haystack conflagration. In the meantime It Is rumored that he has purobasod a farm and will shortly commence raising chestnuts.

District Englnoor McGroarty indignantly contradicts this rumor, und insists that tho Twenty sixth Ward contingent of tho department has formed a co operative farmers' association for the purpose of raising hay and oats for tho balanco of tbo dopartmont. Superintendent Watson, of the Signal Department, at Headquarters, doos not boliovo In ringing the City Hnll boll in case of firo. Ho holds that every professional thlof and pickpocket In tho city possesses a signal card, and tho moment tho boll rings the light fingered gentry make Maud S. time lor the fire, expecting to do a thriving business in the crowd gathered about tho burning building. Mr.

Watson says that the ringing of tho City Hall boll is not of tho slightest use to tho department, and is only kept up to pleaso fow old fashioned behind the age resldonts of tho city. Patrick Dougherty, of Truck 8, has the sympathy of his many friends, both in and out of the department, Over the death of his daughtor, who passed away about a week ago. The young lady was a great favorite, and but 17 years of ago. It has beon decided to erect sixty fivo signal boxes throughout the city before the cold weather sots in. About 320 boxes aro now In use, but the Commls sioncr believes that at least 550 are needed In tho dlstriots, not counting three required in the new Twenty sixth Ward.

Private fire signal boxes are growing moro popular, fispoclally with tho largo manufacturers, and several disastrous fires are be lloved to have boen prevented through their agency. It costs a manufacturer a little over $100 to havo a private signal box erected In his factory, but It may be the means of saving him thousands of dollars. For the benefit of the many anxious East New York frlendB of Andrew Jackson McDermott It may bo stated that he can now bo found any sunny afternoon basking in front of tho house of Engino 6, on High street. Andrew i8 nothing if not fashionable and always returns to the city in tho Winter S. O'Brien, formerly ot tho suburbs, has also returned to town for tho season, and can bo found In or noar tho houso of Engine 21.

O'Brien insists that October is altogether too chilly a month to spend In the country. On the othor hand he believes it will be "a cold day" bofore he again returns to his Summer quarters. Ho does not wish this belief to be taken as a buil. Doc John Feeny, of Ten Engino, Is assisting Doctor Hurd In looking after the sick horses of the department. He thinks of writing a book upon the proper treatment of bucking mustangs.

"Doc" is one of tbe beat riders in the department, and never bo happy as when breaking in a vicious stud. Tho East River Bridgo dock has beon suggested as tho best berth for the firo boat. At preseut the crew and officers of the boat live on board of her, but it is believed that a station, or at least sleeping quarters, will be' erected on tho dock finally selected by the Commissioner. Next week tho fire boat will bo hauled out of the water and thoroughly fitted up for the winter season. Both her hull and upper works will receive a fresh coat of paint, and sevoral needed repairs will be made about the engine.

John Virtue, of Eight Engine, who has beon confined in tbe hospital for several weeks with a broken ankle, Is again on deck. He made up his mind to get out of hospital in time to vote, even if he had to go to tho polls on crutches. District Engineer Dale was, a few days ago, presented with a handsome gold watch by his friends in the Department. Charles J. Ruddy, of Five Engine, is tho sweet singer ot the Department, and never refuses to warble when called upon.

His favorlto song, composed by himself, is entitled Listen to the Chost nut Bell." Mr. Ruddy is a likoly candidate for tho position of assistant foreman. He has served twelve years In tho Department and has anAl record. Chief Nevlns says that examplos will bo made ot firemen who run promiscuously into debt at the grocers, butchers, and other stores In the neighborhood of their houses. Tho Chlof assorts that there is altogether too much hanging up going on in the department, especially among tho now men.

Next Wednesday a new macnine will arrive at tho houso of Four Engino. It Is an Improved crane neck engine, ot the second class In size, but of the best manufacture. It is lighter than the majority of tho onglnes now in use in this city, but is said to be capable of doing fully as effectual work as any of the larger machines. David Ryan, of Twonty ono Englue, Is still in St. Catharine's Hospital, but recovering slowly from the injuries he received on a Rockaway train about a mouth ago.

The surgeon was obliged to amputate threo lingers of Ryan's loft hand. "Chummy" Jim McCormlck, of Eight Engine, says that he would run lor Mayor of New York if he was as sure of his friends over the river as ho is of his constituents on this side of the big bridge. As it is, he will give Hewitt, Henry George and the rest of them a chance. "Chummy" numbors as many friends among the llttlo peoplo as he doo3 in older circles. He has boon oror thlrteon years in the department.

District Engineer Perry, known to tho bore as "Zip," says that the Department should supply the district engineers with dog carts, tigers and.banged tall thoroughbreds. He reports that he Is doing fairly well as It Is, and enjoys his morning spin Immensely, even if ho cannot drive tandem. In about two weeks a monument will be orected iu Cypress Hills to tho memory of Jonathan Tyack and Goorge Height, killed at Horichmann's bakery fire, on Juno 22, 1881. This monument will bo tho fourth erected by tho penny a day contributions of the uniformed membors of tho Department. William A.

Gallagher, of Four Truck, a rocout appointment, has been highly complimontod by tho ohief on his gallant conduot in rescuing nn old lady at tho Jackson street fire. Gallagher is already a favorite with the boys. Tim Ryan, of Seven Engine, is detailed at Headquarters to take care of tho Invalid hose brought in from the different houses. Mr. Ryan is a past grand mechanic and not afraid to hook on to any kind of work from holding down a chair to telling good Btorles.

Dr. Watt Robblns' friends In the Department are pressing hla claims for tho Democratic nomiuatlou for Coroner of Kings County. He haa a host of constituents who would stand firm iu his support In case of his nomination. Captain John MoGronen has recently returned from a trip to Oregon. He comes home greatly invigorated and looking as fresh as a Long Island new laid egg.

Tho Nickel Plate Company has brought its stock up again, and tho boys aro now bulling the market on N. P. for all they are worth. The Commissioners believe firmly in Nickel Plate, and know that it could hot be plaoed in tho back ground. Charley Norris, ot Thirteen Engino, Is slowly recovering from that tug of war.

Ho thanks the Western District boys for puUlng him out of that hole. Assistant Ohief Smith, of tho Eastern Distrlot, Is on a vacation, Hut Is expected homo in a few days. GALLERY AND STEJDIO. The Sharpies Portraits of Washington and Others. Some Pictures at the American Art Galleries.

Trumbull, Stnart nnd Hondon Clandio's Day of Judgment "New Work by Carle ton Wisrirlas A New Review Btehlnas and Dinner Cards Pictures at Llhou's. The Sharpies portraits of Washington nnd sundry of his contemporaries are on view In New York for tho first time, and will be taken to the White House at the end of tho weok. Until their removal they will remain at the American Art Galleries. The portraits of the Father ot his Country are two, a full face and a profile, and It was Henry WardBoecher who remarked: "1 have enjoyed these portraits far more than I can express. Here, indeed, we see Washington.

They must never be permitted to leavo the country. No other has any right to them. 1 om not as much, impressed with the profile as with Martha, but neither can ever die so long as these portraits exist Whoever looks upon them must feel in the actual presence of the living man." It is not likely that the general publio will share this enthusiasm, but the portraits are instructive. Sharpies was an English artist vrho painted them during a visit to America, and his work received the commendation ot Washington himself. Colonel Trumbull wrote that "Sharpies rapidity of work and masterhnnd had lnterestod him throughout," and he reports the General as declaring that "8harples had the advantage of entertaining me with amuBlng, newly imported anecdotes of public men In England, aud especially of the King, so that I nover felt his sittings todious or encroaching on my time; indeed, I looked forward ploasurably to our dally meetings at Mount Vei non, and his interesting conversation kept up during the whole time of work.

Sharpies wa3 a clovor man outside Of his art occupation, and had somo norol Ideas on the subjeot of artillery; at the same time his brain worked with his Hps, and he was evidently a good mechanic. He talked well and worked well at the same time; no common endowments." To the unfinished portrait by Gilbert Stuarti.ihat is now in possession of the Boston Art Museum, and that has heretofore been regarded as the portrait of Washington, less praise Is accorded by Colonel Trumbull. Says he: "IDs portrait Is much admired, but to my oyo It is not tho Genoral, and I rogret to say ho Is making numerous others, for none of which the General accorded a sitting. We most not, however, be hard on Stuart; the inducement Is such as fow ot us could withstand. The General folt In dur auco with Stuart, who told me ha knew not what to say or do to got the doairod expression, and if he had, tho chances are that nervousness would have prevontod him from seizing it Only fancy using a model to got Washington's majesty of form I Yot this was resorted to, although none approaching him could be found.

Tho country has more than enough so called portraits of Washington, four fifths of them destitute of tho faintest resemblance. Many of those for which he humanely sat come undor this category. The workers were ao dazed by his prosenco thoy know not what they wero about How greatly, under these circumstances, all future painters will be thrown back on tho Houdon bust an entlroty, as It were that nothing elso carries, and It is certainly remarkable that deftness In clay modeling has, in Washington's case, achieved that which tho brush has yot failed to prodnco. When Jefferson, In Paris, presented In 1785, Charles Wilson Pealo'a portrait of Washington to Houdon, and which had been oxpressly painted for the purpose of convoying to him the form and features of his subject, ho at once decllnod It, aud at great personal sacrifices, came out to Mount Vernon to see the great original himself. Our gratltuds to Franklin for having brought him out Is groat Iu looking at tho Houdon how few of ourpooplo know the faot that Houdon actually took a cast ot tho faco and worked out model of the faco Irom this.

So also ha oschowod all resort to othor forms of mon for retaining the majesty of the original. Ho took tho closest measurements of every being from the heart Impressed with the world's future estimate of tho man, has left li a work worthy of the subject and tho artist" This is another ovldence of the debt of America to the art of France. But though we have not the living evidences to Judge from, I doubt if tho Stuart portrait is not gonerally acceptod in the future as tho best presentment of Washington. In externals it is nearer like the Houdon portrait than these of Sharpies, and It also expresses tho oharacter of Washington. Shatples was evidently a realist and his picture of tho great leador might almost as well be that of one of his lieutenants, so far as there Is any lndicailon of high thought and principle.

'His Washington would have cut down cherry trees, but Stua. t'J Washington would have refused to He about tho clrcumstanco. Familiarity broods contempt, and the easy manner In which Sharpies approached his Bubjoct would hardly load us to ex pent In the results of his work tho height and dignity that awed Stuart It is possible that Sharploa is truer than Stuart in the color of tho Gonoral's eyes aud complexion and tho turn of his hoad, but one who had recolved no hint of the personal appoar ance of Washington would say that this pi represented a man of no surprising qualities, whereas the Stuart portrait is plainly that of a man of noble mind, of purity, of power. The workof Sharpies may become popular with those who deplore tho seeming want of humannesB in Washington. History has made a kind of Charles Francis Adams of him cold, unsympathetic, over religious, poalng on a pedostal as a paragon ot tho proprieties, and tho lrrevereu'.

aro appealing to history to alap him on the back once, and call him George; to show him at his wine, or Joking with his officers; to try to discover If his only attempt to swear was at General Lee's def ectlou to show him at Mount Vernon with his coat off, hoeing corn; to give him a latch koy, or any other little vice that will reader him approachable and lovable; to make him telristorles, like Lincoln, or even to give him warts, like Cromwell; lit the probability remains that tho Father of his Country will always figure to the American Imagination as a being of superhuman virtue a near approach to a deml god. With the Washington pictures In the American Art Gallery are Mlddloton's portrait of Mary, the mother of Washington, painted four months before the birth of her Illustrious son, and theeame artist's portrait of Mary Phllllpse, the General's early love. Here, also, are the Sharpies portraits of Robert Fulton, Priestly, Marshall, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Van Rensslaer, Patrick Henry's daughter, Miss Flold, Miss Jay, Mrs.

Fulton and Angelica Peale, who placed tbo laurel crown on the head of the first President when he entered New York to tako the official oath. In the portraits of the ladles there Is an evident attempt to flatter, sweotness of color being carried to weakness, and benevolence of expression to the extent of simpering, Heath and Parkes' ludicrous picture of "Peter Stuyvesant'e Army Entering New York," that Washington Irving described with such qualntness and humor In his Knickerbocker," and had engraved for the first edition of his history Is also here and there is in tho gallery a large picture of the blood and thunder school, attributed to one Claudlo, of Italy, who flourished three and a half centuries ago, but Its fresh color and tremendous subject forcibly recall the English painter Mortln. It Is apparently the day of Judgment Mountains are falling asunder, shaken aport by earthquakes and blasted down by lightnings; a city topples iuto ruin In a valley, and through vast renta In the earth stream lurid fires; meteors drop from tho sky, and rooks are falling amid a crowd of frantio people In the foreground! while from an opening in the smoko and clouds shines the white figure of a cross. It is a picture to acoelerate cardtao pulsations. The painters of one tree landscapes have no "show" In the same room with It Carleton Wiggins has returned from his outing with an extensive pictorial reoord of his days and rambles at Plymouth and along Cape Cod.

Among his finished pictures Is one representing a aart drawn along a sandy slope by oxen, one black andone rod. A young fellow in a straw hat and holding a long rod 1b driving the team. The road la bright in sunshine, though shadows fall across It from tho boskage overhanging on the loft, and to the right, beyond a group of wave worn rooks, appears the sea, with a flick of light on a distant salL The sky Is of deep, vaporous bluo, the true sea air. Mr. Wiggins has never done anything better than this, it Is deep and strong in color; it brings fresh air into the room; It gives a sense Ot largeness and boldness In spite of Its quietude, and In the lazily moving oxon the representation ot form and strength Is masterly.

This painter appeared formerly to bo emulous of Van Maroke, but ot late his style has been growing more and more individual, and his stock" Is rising rapidly. He Is the foremost American cattle painter. Henry T. Chapman, has received from his 1ST OF TTNGLAIMED LETTERS KK I Mtnmffi AT THK BROOKLYN POST OffFIOB iTnFtftB.rs.mss.

''A Budget of Gossip from the Vote Book of a Strolling Brooklrnlte. Now that the racing season in this vicinity has practically ended, horso men are comparing notes as to their probable future In Kings county. The opinion is generally expressed that thore will bono running in this vicinity next year unless the repeal of tho law against pool selling is secured trom the incoming Legislature.

Of the possibilities of obtaining such repeal not much hopo is entertained by persons interested in tho sport. Two obstacles exist to tho legalizing of wagera by legislative authority, either of which, it is believed, would prove fatal to the proposition. One is that publio sentiment, aroused by the extremes to which betting has been carried, would influence Senators and Assemblymen against voting for the proposed measure. The other is that oven If bribery were resorted to the average legislator, and particularly itho typical roundhead from tho rural districts would hold himself at such an elevated valuation that enough money could not be ralsod for the purpose of satisfying his exorbitant demands. It is conceded that in the present excited condition of popular feeling on the subject tUe Governor would withhold his veto, even though the measure submitted to him wore framed with a view to regulating betting within narrow imitations.

In order, therefore, to otroct tho longed ifor enactment tho passago of a bill over the Execu jtivo veto would bo required. To obtain a aufllcient number of votes to insuro this result involves tho jpresumptlon that two thirds of tho Legislature be bribed and that an enormous corruption fund would bo forthcoming to mako the bribory an accomplished fact. Tho most oxtrome critics of tho Albany lawmakers would, I bolievo, hositato to 'affirm that this could be doue, especially at a time when tho behavior of publio officials is every day Iholng subjected to tho most careful scrutiny. How fab the people are opposed to pool. IBOlliug and bookmnklng has boon a matter of controversy ever siuco tho agitation of the question (began.

By the racing associations, horeo land othor Interested parties tho assertiou la made that oppositlou omanatos from fanatics and profes 'sional moralists who compriso a comparati.oly 'small proportion of tho population. It is maln itained, on tho other hand, by tho opponents 01 gambling, (hat antagonism to tho poohollers and bookmakers has boon throughout tho communi and that oven tho victims of tho bo'. ting craze aro reall desirous that thi practice shall cease. Conservative people generally tako tho view, whethor thoy iro fond of racing or not, that tho law should bo enforced so long as it is on the statute book. ThH opinion is held to by many citizens who boliovo racing ai rare intervals and within reasonable restrictions, would be an agreeable and excusable diversion from the cares of everyday li To Hardly anyone, oxcept tho bookmakers and pi themselves, openly favors evasion of tho law as it standi, so tie prospect of tho of tho statutes is pretty well assured in the future a3 tho only means of rocognizing popular sentiment against unauthorized and illegal betting.

Whether t.bo office holders nro assessed for campaign oxpouses or not, the is no possibility that candidates will be exempt from tho delivery of enforced contributions to tho organizations for which thoy stand. The onl candidate in recant years who ailed to contribute anything toward defraying the cost of canvass wti't tho Hon. Soth Low. When Mr. Low waj fin', nominated for the Mayoralty, in tho Fall oflSii, of tho Republican lenders hoped thai ho would contribute, with a generous hand toward tho party fund.

To their astonishment Low met them with the announcement that he would not give a single dollar to advance his own of oloctlon. There was no lack ot money, but most of it camo through the Young Republican Club and tho indepoudout clti zons' movement not a cent passing Irom tho hands of tho nominee in his second caadi iaoy Mr. Low followed precisely tho atimo course lie did not, liowevor, object to assisting tho Republican organization in bohalf of other candidates, as wai shown by his action in sending a check for 5OT to tho treasury in tho ill starred Folgr yoar. Iu 18S3, whan tho late Mayor was rtiniiiug against llen drix, report was circulated that his father, Mr. A.

A. Low, had advanced 100,000 to tho campaign committee. There was not a word of truth in the story. To the nvornge candidate the rnoBt grievous assessment is, not tho payment to tho political organization no represents, but tho outlay required iu his personal canvass. Tho system of oxtravagan: campaigning was introduced by Albort Daggett when he ran for Sheriff in 1875.

Daggett's canvasj on that occasion was the most brilliant over mado in Eings County. He was Under Shoritf at the timeof his nomination and had not lived horo many years. His nomination excited much dissatisfaction at thej ontsot among tho adherents of Jacob Worth, who'a he defeated in tho convention by only a single vote. Despite the murmurs of dissatisfactlo Daggett re eolved that bo would bo eloctod. Ho idod in raising considerable money and sc.tnired it ab.oad lavishly wherever ho went For tin part of a fortnight he lived in a coach, Jo raaf ig by day and night from one end of the eny the other.

There was so much bustlo aud about his style of campaigning that oxtr vagan Mries of his expenditures during tho i been afloat ever since I have heard tho cos', of thit can ass estimated as high as $25,000. Oio of the ei Sherlff's intimate friends is, howevor, au'hority for tho statement that it did not much oxcoed oie hnlf that figure. When, six years later, Colonel Lewis E. Stegman was placed .1 vitiation for the Shrievalty, he wa3 practically out of funds Soveral kindly disposed frlonds camo to the roscuo loaned him money enough to pay his expenses Altogether, his canvass cost him a triflo over 16,000. Jlr.

Francis U. White, who ran against Stegraan, expended nearly double that sum. Sheriff Farley also ran on borrowed japital his campaign costing him about $7,000. In his first contest for the District Attorney up against Sir. Britton, in 1677, General Isaac S.

Ca campaign expenditures footed up $9,500. Thrai years aftorward, when ho was opposed by Judge Troy, his oxpen es were not more than $4,500. The last named figures also show what his participation In tho Mayoralty fight cost him. By common consent the most fortuqate roan who has entered the arena of local politics Tvitbin a decade was Colonel Samuel Richards. During a varied career, previous to his political activities, the Colonel accumulated soveral fortunes which wore lost In unlucky business ventures or swept away in tho Tortex of Wall street speculation.

He was content to servo for some years as Chief Clork aud afterward as Deputy Commissioner of the Police Department, a post in which he drew a by at moans opulent salary. When the Republican County Convention assembled in 1883, lie turned up as a candidate for tho Rogiatership. 'He had many ardent friends amonJ the delegates, 'who strongly reaisted an effort made by the leaders 'to adjourn the convention In order thit the nomination might be given to some one othor than the Colonel. As Boon aa ho was nominated he began one of tho moat skillfully conducted personal campaigns ever made in Brooklyn. From the night of the nomination until the morning of election he loft no legitimate means untried In order to awoll his vote.

He was confronted hy a very gloomy outlook, arising from tho demoralization causod by tho wholesale stampede from Folger, but ho never loat heart at any stage of "the fight. When the votes were counted on election night it was found that Colonel Richards led his competitor by a majority of 740 ballots, notwithstanding the fact that the State ticket was burled hero under 40,000 adverse plurality and that Colonel Bichards'assoclates the Republican county ticket fell behind him from 5,000 to 9,000. To the colonel the expenses of the campaign involved an outlay of 6,500. His term as Register was ono of the most profitable in tho office and ho Is now living comfortably on the fortune of over $100,000 which ho therein acquired. Benewed efforts to improve tho fishing grounds on the Great South Bay by residents of that neighborhood aro receiving tho sympathetic consideration of hundreds of Brooklyn sportsmen, who have not yet recovered from the disappointment occasioned by last Summer's failure of the bluoflsh supply In that beautiful Bheet of water.

It Is now pretty well settled that the scarcity of blueflBtuls attributable to the pound nets and the wholesale catches of the menhaden steamers. II the bay is ever to regain its lost colebrlty as an anglors' paradise, stringent laws prohibiting the Indiscriminate daughter of Mueflsh wlU have to Je enacted ana career in tho role of a partisan prophet. As for Mr. Backue, the returns from tho Sixtoenth Ward on olection night, tho ovent of his candidacy, would convince him that the voters aro solid for lagor beer and against tho substitution of sarsoparilla for the honored beverage of Fatherland. There have been few more warmly contested battles In local politics than tho struggle be twoon Commissioner John A.

Nichols and Colonel James N. Smith in tho Twentieth Ward primary last week. Tho result surprised Colonel Smith and his adherents, but It was no surprise to persons acquainted with the methods employed by Mr. Nichols. As a matter of fact, thoro has not been In tho Republican party In Kings County since Its organization a more capable, shrewd and effective leador than John A.

Nichols. His ability as an organizer, as was shown by his capture of tho Republican General Committeo in 1881, Is far above'that of the average politician, and his powers in making and maintaining effective combinations have rarely beon rivaled. To Colonel Smith's friends tho result was a great disappointment, but their dissatisfaction was In a measure counterbalanced by the brilliant strategy of their principal antagonist. Various accounts aro given of the significance of Mr. Stephen V.

White's candldaoy for Con gross. Said ono of his Intimate friends to me during the week: "I haro talked with Mr. White on the subject of tho Congressional nomination. He expressed himaolf freely on the subject and left no doubt In my mind that he would llko to receiTO tho nomination If it would come to him with reasonable unanimity. Hl3 election would mean a new era in the Republican politics of Brooklyn and ho would become one of tho most active and zoalous pi the party managers." Sevebal reports to tho effect that Mr.

Blaine haa participated in the contest for the Third District Republican Congressional nomination are destitute of foundation id fact Mr. Blaine Is too busy with larger matters to descend to a detail of this sort Nevertheless it Is well known among his friends that Mr. Whlto's presence In the House of Representatives would give satisfaction to 'the Maine loader, who looks upon the "deacon" with an approving eye. It would, however, bo ungraoious for the Plumed Knight to Interfere In tho controversy for the reason that Congressman James was a strong Blaine Republican In the oanvassof 1881 and assisted in organizing tho Blaine Business Men's Movement In New York City. Many Mugwump friends of Mr.

James labored with him Induce him to adopt a different course, but he never faltered In his allegiance to the tloket, and even marched in the street procession In favor of the Republican standard bearers. It Mb. White ia sent to Congress his advent will mark the beginning of a new Blaine move, ment ln.the State of New York. There is f. strong probability, In the event of his eleotlon, that he will be appointed to the chairmanship of the Republican Slate Committee, and that the work of organizing for the next Presidential campaign will be commenced far In advance of the nominating conventions.

Mr. White displayed a good deal of skill here In the campaign of 1884, but It was not sufficient to wrest this county from Cleveland and Hendricks. Whether he can do any better In 1888 Is, in view of the growing favor with which the President Is regarded, extremely doubtfuL Nevertheless, I predict that Mr. White will hereafter bo a very picturesque figure In the politics of Kings County. The reappearance of Deacon William Richardson In local Republican politics was an Incident that caused a good deal of comment during the past week.

Two years ago when Mr. Blaine waarunning for the Presidency, Mr. Richardson took exception to that gentleman's "disorderly walk and oast his ballot for the Hon. John P. Bt Jobn.

Whether Mr. Richardson will go over to the Prohibitionists in 1888 Is not yet determined, but he probably will un lesB some man as truly good as the deacon himself Is placed in nomination. SACNtkbsb. Vi)liaiilKburrli. LADIES' LIST.
