Compelled to Withdraw In Disorder.
After a short two-round fight with a big
gray shark yesterday, Capt. John Oaklsy of
bay vllle was not so popular with hlmsslf. II
started out to furnish fun at ths shark' ex
pense for th summer visitors on th bsach.
Th visitors had tho fun, bnt the Captain fur
nls hd It. In the language of ths Bowery, ths
shark made a monksy of th Captain. II
ptared with him for (lis first round, rushed
frm hit corner at the beginning of thoseo
ond, landed In tho boat nnd with a vicious
awing of his tight pectoral fin sent Oakley out
et th boat and Into the ocean. Ths Captain
might have been there yet If hi friend had
not gone to the rescue.
Then the shark got tbe worst end of the
battle With suns. club, and oar th visi
tor pounced down, and beat th life out of
him. Notwithstanding all these handicaps. It
wa a full half hour before bt was finally
counted out
There ar several kinds of sharks. There
Is the man eater, or whit shark, that fur
nlshes food for writer of a tales, and bonts
for museums: thtr It th basking shark, a
great, sluggish fish that haunt the shore ot
Greenland and th English Channel, and
th mackerel sharks and gray sharks of th
New England cost.
The gray shark I from 4 to 8 feet In length,
and I a light bluish-gray above and white
btlow. It hat a ihort and blunt snout long,
conical front loath, rough skin, and tmtll
eyes. It Uvea North In the winter eeaton. and
run down along our coast In the tummer to
frighten woman and email children, who think
that all thark are man eater. Such well
seasoned Now Bedford whalers a Capt
Oaklsy of Bayvllle think there I no mor
harm In a gray abark than In a fresh-water
minnow, but there have been Instance when
even these emlnentauthorltlo have been mis
taken. Th gray shark Is. ot cours. alight
weight compared to ths man eater, but he I
etroni; onough to make a great deal ot trouble,
dl'-tlme llshermen say that he ha all tb
fighting qualities except th heart
Now. the gray shark that appeared off Say
vllle got there on Tuesday and unssed the day
drifting about with his back to th sun. lh
children were frightened by his appearance,
and kept their bathing clothes dry that after
noon until assured by the old -alts that gray
sharks were harmless playfel'ow. and would
run when ths wind blew, 'ihe chil iron ac
cepted the assurance, for they noticed that the
ahark kept well out to eea. Apparently ths big
gray fish was wsll pleassd with the ltne air and

morning he ploughed hi way near tb beach,
enurted by the pavilion, and playfully tossed
his tall In the air, as though to Invite th sum
mer visitors out for a race In the surf. The In
vitation wa Ignored, and as th shark grew
more familiar the ohlldren took the precaution
to get out of the surf.
A serious question wns thus suggested to
th hotel keepere of Harville Tae shark'
presence there might become known to seek
er for good bathing, and If he eontlmied to
like the place and remained there, the bathers
would go elsewhere and Mayvllle would be de
serted. They gathered on the beach and se
riously discussed the matter while the ahark
raced up and down totally Innocent of the un
easiness his presenee was causing. It waa
finally decided to kill the Intruder, and Capt
John Oakley, aa the oldest fisherman In those
parte, Mas appealed to, A New lor It man
named Ketcham who Is spending th sum
mer at Sarvlll wanted to launch a boat, man
It with a crew, and tackle the shark with a
harpoon a though It were a whale.
" i ou'd have a tine tlm harpooning that fal
low." said Capt. Uabler. tbe oracl of th
group. " Why. that whits coward would run
Ifyougavs him a wink, and you'd ha to
chase until lis dlsd ot old ago before you
caught him "
"1 don't know about that." said Ketcham.
" I have read somewhere thatr "
" 1 ounir man. 1 don't enre a damn what you
have read. 1 hate been chasing up fish a good
many yeara and I guess I knew something
about ths business."
The Captaln'a sarcasm aroused a derisive
laugh t Ketcham a expense. Thelnatlve
showed their approbation tiy shoutl-g.
"The Cap'n I right Th old man knew
what he I talking about"
All right." laid Ketcham again. "If you
know It all. go out thsr and dri ths (hark
away ao that ths children can go Into tba surf
again."
' I'll just do that, young man and If you
watch me youcanloarna thing or two about
shark that vou didn't know before Boys, get
o,it my boat"
The willing youngster drew the Captain'
boat up hy the pavilion dork, and a large and
Intorestsd audience stretched along th beach
and dock to ee ths fun. In the meantime the
sharks, as If anticipating the programme, had
paddled close to shore so as to be In full view
of the audience at the striking of the gong,
htrangely enough ho showed no signs of flight

Th committee on I eglslative Power. Edu
cation, Taxation, nnd Charities gav a final
hearing to-day on th question of abolishing
sectarian appropriations, )r Jama M. King.
President of the National League for the Pro
tection ot American Institutions, was the first
speaker. He read a letter from James U Car
ter of New York cltr, saying that h approved
the purpose ot the league, hut was pr-vented
from being present It had been decided not
to cbangs ths wording of th amendment pro
posed so as to make more clear the meaning
ot "aeotarlan Institutions " Ths same amend
ment had been adopted In Pennsylvania, and
there had been no difficulty there. Th one
dangerou point of contaot between Church
and Htat lies in the treasury. In New lork
city denominational schools drew JU1.7J i. a
year.ln Brooklyn SJ1.7UH. In Rochester $5.M(W.
In Troy $7.f4U. and la other town and cities
mailer amount.
Th subsidy ytm also led to pauper'am.
The proportion of children in this But up
ported at public expense wa greater than In
other SUtes where the Stat erstem was en
forced Or. King reiterated the statement of
appropriations which he had male at previous
hearings, showlnr that Catholic Institutions
In Nw iork city received I.177W12 In 111.1.
ther sectarian Institutions $178,275. aadnen
eUrtan Institutions $r.80.0'H.
Ur. King wa followed by Mr. A, Nolan-Martin
of blapleton. who apeke for :i2.(M)D mem
ber ot th American Jatrlotle League. He
criticised In detail the speeches made by Mr.
Coudert and Mr. Bliss. The drift of his argu
ment was thatlt was Impossible to be good
Catholia and a poo I citizen at th same time.
Col. George Bliss of New lork cltr apnke
briefly In oppoaltlon tothe amendment, saying
that It appropriations for Catholic Institution
are to be stopped, then they must be stoppod
for Protestant Institutions also.
Klbridgs r. Gerry ot Now ork city eald that
hs had no share sf ths fsar that one sect would
absorb all the msnsy spent tn charity by the
Htate. Kellgloua training was necessary to
th management ef elUldrea. When It was
deetroyed anarchy would follow. To withdraw
Bute aid would put an end to the reclamation
nt fallen women. It would destroy the chari
ties whlohhav made Infacttt'de almost un
known In New York city, and It would cripple
the great Hebrew Uuardlan Socle'y.
The hearing wa then adjourned.
The Committee on Cities has decided to re-
fiort favorably an amendment giving the Leg
stature power to provide for th appointment
of non-partisan abaction Board In all elite ot

Th Comraltt on Puffrag ha decided to
