A big crowd of workmen is mak- ing extensive alterations and re pairs at Belmont Park. The grass is being cut, flowers are being plant- ed in the lawns, thc grand stand is being overhauled, the fences re- moved for last fall's aviation meet are being replaced, and a general air of activity prevails at the big racing plant. Most significant of all the tinkering, remodelling and repairing at this track is that to which the stables are being sub jected Renovating Empire Also.

At least one kiss came to all and sundry. Not the ordinary kind of kiss, which is just a little wet dab on the cheek, but wai fervent. enthusiastic,gfull- Upped Kisges, equare on the mouth, that make you thrill from the roots of the hair to the tips of your toes—the kind that you want whole lots of—if you care for the kisser. But most of the Kinsees didn't know or particularly care for the kissers, and when the oscu- latory storm broke out there was a ‘rush for shelter which verged on a pantie. The kissing began when four bridal parties trom the French colony over on West Thirty-second street arrived, each homeward bound for the. honeymoon and ich escorted by at least twenty of thelr compatriots to bid them “bon voyal .

A. Zema was inscribed. On the promenade deck were gathered those passengers who had not given way to hysterics over the kissing, and a young man shouted to the woman to heave the package aboard. She described strange :rcs in the alr with the package and suddenly let go For a woman she Was some pitcher The package landed on the promenai deck, about twenty feet away from the young man, who held his hands out to catch tt, though he might have known better, and it landed squarely in the face of a deacon of a Philadelphia c'ereh bound over for his first trip across, The package hit the deacon just midway between his sidewhiskers. — GAVE BLOOD TO SAVE BROTHER AND WILL DIE. Yonkers Youth in Grave Condition After Transfusion Which Re- Stored Younger Lad. Special to The Evening World) YONKERS, May 1%—As a result of having a large quantity of blood trans- fused from his body into the veins of his brother, Jesse M. Cavanaugh, twenty-three years old, af No, 13 Woodworth avenue, is in a grave con- dition and it 1s feared he may die. The brother, Fred Cavanaugh, fifteen years of age, was brought from Sara toga two weeks ago for treatment in the Manhattan Kye and Kar Hospital, New York. He was suffering from mastolditis, An operation wa formed, but boy sank rapidly it was determined that the one of saving the boy's life was by fusion of blood Jesse Cavanaugh volunteered.

If John Cain, the lean, yellow negro who ran a mad dog course through part of Harlem last night with knife and revolver, maiming and killing all who crossed his path, should die of the wounds which finally brought him down the world woukl be rid of an habitual murderer more dangerous to be at large than @ venemous snake or & man-eating tiger. Two of his victims died within an hour. Two more are going to die. Six others, stabbed or shot, were borne to uptown hospitals, while the police looked for additional victims who might have dragged themselves to their homes. And for all this ts to be blamed the laxness of law which permitted a professional knife-wielder to live on after he had shown, not once, but twice, that with or without provoca- tion he was ready to kill, As far back as 189 this me John Cain was laying the foundations of the record which reached so atrocious a climax last evening.
