E.

Church, at Ocean parkway and Foster avenue. This is what Is known as Group Hieing half the set of women constituting- the Ladles' Aid Society of that church. William H. Anderson. State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of New York, was the speaker) and gave some pertinent facts on the recent fight which resulted In prohibition.

He declared that of course there was a great deal antagonism and said' that he -had been accused of being" a lobbyist, but he said that the liquor dealers were lobbyists as well. He went into the different objections that people made against prohibition, such aa that the ab sent soldiers did not have a chance to give a vote on the measure, and he said there was only one way now to do away with prohibition and that, was to make an amendment against He went Into many phases of the subject, answered many objections.

The) dinner was held at Parish House-' It- la said that- Mr. John Anderson de clared that the reason that tha city had no "Down and Outs" In Ha alcoholic wards, on which It used to depend to shovel en" the snow from Its streets, Ie because their number has lessened' and naarly ctased altogether since prohlbl Men came In. He said: "Anti-Saloon re sponslbllltyt stops with delivery of cold ws ter.

Disposal of It Is another affair. Is not our fault that New Uork greets It with a "frost." Prohibition has driven the bums formerly available' for snow shoveling Into legitimate occupations, and made enow shoveling respectable upon which basis It must be bandied hereafter; If part of the jnoney used for Municipal lodging houses, and alcoholic wards Is required to pay a high grade of labor for snow removal the public will still be fhe Something has been told of the drive which the Ocean-parkway E. Church is making to raise the fund 113.000 to add to the fund of $30,000, which has come to It from the Park M. E. Church, the whole of which is to be devoted to paying off the mortgage of the church, and making such additions and Improvements as will lit It to do better work.

FLATBUSH ENTERTAINMENT NOVEL AIMIGKAL SORT MASQUERADE ON HORSEBACK HELD IN -RIDING ACADEMY AND WAS FINE PARADf, DRILLING AND RACES Picturesque and Colorful Entertain-; tnent Was Enjoyed bv Several Hundred Pleased People Flatbush was treated to a novel' and unique entertainment on Thursday evening, when fifty, members of the Flat-bush Riding Club, which is composed of popular members of the younger set Of Flatbush society, gave a masquerade party on horseback. The affair was the most elaborate combination of the sort ever seen In Flatbush, and was held at 8tellee Riding Academy; Ocean Parkway and East Eighth street. Altogether there were fifty-one riders in the ring, and each was In a costume chosen aa the individual taste of the wearer, which was a most handsome and Well appointed one. Beside tha masque ride to music, there were special steeplechase events with prises to the and a high Jump-' lng contest to the more experlenqed rid ers. As one and another beautiful cos tume came around to the front, it was greeted with rounds of applause from the audience, and the whole galaxy of aa ArrMaf) a mn nar IntafoDtln arAn out repeated and enthusiastic applause from those who crowded the rooms to look on.

Mrs. J. Ehrengart was man or the committee In charge ot the president of the club, and Emft Schweerer. hln r.n., with knights in suits of nrall armor, cow Iwys, jockeys, clowns, soldiers? Mexican bandits and many other quaint and funny and artistic costumes were among the crowd. Two or tne riders imperson ated, one a tramp and another a Hebrew, and caused much.

laughter by their com ical actions. Some of the costumes were elaborate In the, extreme. A very fash ionably dressed young "woman" was later found to be impersonated by a young man, when his Insistent smoking of cigarettes betrayed him. He kept the crowd guessing for a long time. The great success of the affair made the authorities decide that others along the same line should be given later.

As soon as the weather Is warmer end the roads In a better condition, there can be a masquerade cavalcade along the Park way, and some other features which will make the riding become very popular.

The meeting was a small one, Its feature of interest being a discussion of the recent dictum of Mayor Hylan's that the Hoard of Education, In and admitting Uisb school graduates as teachers. It is the custom now to demand two years at a training school before allow- lng any applicant a teacher's license. Mayor Hylan's suggestion would admit high school graduates without any train- lng whatever. -Mayor Hy lan said thoro' were too. many obstacles, in the path of making a achooi teacher and that was one reason of their scarcity! Tbe Flatbuuh association, however, dl'l not agree with Iho Mayor Two member.

Interested In schoolu, JUr. Gregory Weill-" chairman of the school committee, and Andrew Colvln, a former president, strongly opposed any such action as doing without the training, and the club-passed a resolution against such a course." Both of the. speakers bitterly opposod any action-which would tend to decrease the calibre of the teaching force. Mr. Weinsteln that under the present scale of wages, the teachers were now of an Inferior sort and any such plan would tend to lower the standard more.

"The educational system in this city faces a crisis and the people do not seem to realize it," declared Weinstoin.
