Magistrate Zeller, in the Harlem Court, to-day, handed down a decision repariing the use of hopples on the horses driven on the Speedway. The case came up some time ago through the arrest of Harrison Armstrong, an actor, who was arrested on the Speed- way for using hopples on his horse. The Road Drivers’ Association op- posed thelr use and Armstrong favored them. Magtatrate Zeller decides that the hopples cannot be used on the Speedway, with a reprimand. Magistrate anya: “My first contention t# that the use of hopples on a horse 1s dangerous. The testimony on the part of the de- fendant, however, has convinced me that there ts nothjng cruel to it. The only point then for me to consider |s whether their use on the Speedway is @angerous, and, therefore, under the Tules of th Park Department, ought to be forbidden. ‘Nearly all of the witnesses agreed that a case of accident to a horse or the breakage of any part of th hamness, the horse must necessarily fall, the driver be thrown and serious danger Incurred, If, during the hours of the day, when a large numbr 0 vehicles ae on the Spedway, and hors are speed ing along, such an accident éhould oo- T can Well eve what might oc refore come to the coneli- gion that the use of hopples on. the Speedway is dangerous and ty fortidden by the riles of the Park Department.” JAIL FOR LIQUOR DEALERS.

PARKHURST OR THE DEVERY BUG Clergyman Makes an Entymo- logical Study of the Mayor- alty Insect and Thinks the Tammany Net Will Get It. Dr. Parkhurst, who sails for Europe to-morrow on the Celtic, discussed the Devery movement to-day in the last péwepaper interview which, he @ays, he will give until his return home next Bep- tember. “Hither Devery is In earnest or he is not,” said Dr. Parkhurst. "Either he will hold out and put up a stiff fight, in which case he will contribute directly to the suce of the antl-Tammany regime, or he will only continue the fight wnt!l Tammany Hell comes to his terms. 1 think the latter alternative will be the most probable. “This conclusion I reach from what I know of Tammany in the past and what {s said by those who are the best Judges of the situation. “The probabilities are that before elec- tion Devery will have received his price. Then the whole Devery movement will collapse and the entire institution of Tammaty will go into the election as a unlt—Devery along with the rest of them. But if Devery holds out I would not be surprised if he polled 20,000 votes. ‘The more he polls the more we shall lke it.” “What have you to say to the pub- shed report that reformers’ money is helping Devery and that he wouldn't think of running for the Mayoralty if the CUizens' Union hadn't made ar- rangements to put up the cash for his intimated,” replied f the monoy of re- Devery, it Is a mode of procedure decent men ought to be ashamed of.” JAMES McGREERY & CO.
