The annual police parade is on this afternoon and the streets along the line of march downtown are thronged w*th admiring spectators.

The men lined up on Grand street east of Washington preparatory to marching in two battal ions made an inspiring demonstration and tiie necessary manouvres showed much skill on the part of the command ers and result of careful drill on the part of the mem. The trim little Battle of Paulus Hook monument at the intersec tion of Grand and Washington street added its full share to the picturesque aspect of the scene. The interest shown by the whole city is a matter of which the police may be proud, for it is cer tain the city is proud of its police. Thousands ip the crowds that lined the curbs down town came from every sec tion of the Heights. The two battalions are composed of nine companies. Inspector Samuel Archibold is in command of the first battalion, which is composed of five com panies the first of which is in command of Captain Thomas P. Nugent, the sec ond.

BOND ISSUE AUTHORIZED Financiers “Vote to Raise $500,000 in Anticipa tion of Taxes for 1900, 1901,1902 and 1003. TO BE USED FOR CURRENT EXPENSES Fire Board Appropriation Held Over for a Tech nicality—No Hospital Contract Awarded, At an adjourned regular meeting last night the Board of Finance adopted a resolution authorizing the Committee on Finance to borrow $500,000 in anticipa tion of the collection of taxes for the years 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903 by the issuing temporary loan bonds to be pay able on demand with interest at a rate not to exceed four per cent, per annum, payable in January and July of each year. The amount thus raised is to be used in paying current expenses. Four appropriations for improvements asked for by the Fire Board would doubtless have been made but for the wording of the resolutions requesting such appropriations. The Finance Board is a stickler for technicalities. The res olutions requesting the appropriations did not specifically state that the con ditions or exigencies were such that the proposed improvements were absolutely necessary. The Fire Board resolutions were referred back to that Board and the appropriations asked for will in all like lihood be made at the next meeting of the City’s Financiers, which will be held next Wednesday afternoon. The requests for appropriations made by the Fire Commissioners were as fol lows:— For $1,250 for an addition to the De partment Horse Hospital; $10,500 for a new and modernly equipped building on the site now occupied by Engine Com pany, No. 5; for $1150 to erect an ad1 dition to the Department Hose House, and for $2,200 for alterations and repairs to Engine House No. 12. Should these requests for appropria tions be granted at next Wednesday afternoon’s meeting, temporary loan bonds will be issued for each amount cited, not to ' bear interest exceeding four per cent, and sums to meet princi pal and interest are to be placed in the next tax levy. The awarding of the contract for the building of the new City Hospital by the old Board of City Hospital Trus tees, of which E. M. Watson is presi dent, to Herman Probst, was submitted for concurrence, but was referred to Committee of the Whole. The Board did not take any action on the Board of Education’s recent reso lution concerning its notification that the Board of School Estimate had deemed $350,000 needed for the erection of the new High School Tbuilding. This matter was laid over until next Wednes day afternoon; likewise the notification that $100,000 were deemed necessary for thfe purchase of lands for school pur poses and the enlargement of half a dozen of the present schools. The Board did order the purchase of the Edelstein property as an addition to the new High School site on the Harrison Estate. Thirty thousand dollars were ordered paid County Collector Stephen Egan on account of county taxes. Warrants were ordered drawn on the City Treasurer in favor of that officer to pay June interest, as follows:— . On general account, $17,667.12; on general account to pay interest on as sessment bonds, $21,000; on water ac count, $8,750. uam.

HORSES ON THE NULEVARD Road Drivers Expect ^ To day’s Parade to Excel All Previous Ex hibitions. THOSE IN THE CARRIAGES Large Number of Entries In dicates the Interest Shown by Hudson Horsemen The weather this morning promised a magnificent display of horses and equi , pages on the Boulevard this afternoon, the occasion being the annual parade of Hudson County Road Drivers’ Associa tion, and prospects were good for this being one of the greatest days for the horses and hohsemen in the history of the county. The committee in charge announced that an attempt would be made to sur pass the display made last Saturday by the New York Road Drivers on the Speedway and that there was every pros pect of that being done. The hard work done by the committee it is believed has insured the most suc cessful reunion of any that has ever been held in under the Association’s ausipees. Even those heretofore held have been ous among the horsemen of other cities. The entry of road horses' for today’s par ade is much larger than on former oc casions. There will be more than three hundred turnouts in line. Every special class has filled and competition for the blue ribbon is stronger than ever. Today’s parade is over the southern division of the Boulevard. Shortly after noon the turnouts began filling up in the side streets in the vicinity of Montgom ery street and the Boulevard, from which point the parade started at two o'clock for Bergen Point, where the judg ing was scheduled to be done from a stand at the end of the Boulevard, near Second street. The awards will be made by Gapt. Housman, of the Staten Island Road Drivers; A. H. Gael of the New ark Road Drivers; and Dr. H. D. Gill, of the New York Road1 Drivers. The County Association has as its spe cial guests Mayor Brady, of Bayonne; Mayor Lankering of Hoboken; county Supervisor Frank McNally and Director Frederick Rippe, of the Board of Free holder. The Diectors and their guests will banquet at Wheeler’s Shore House, where each lady will be presented with a handsome souvenir. 'Che appearance in the parade of many out-of-town horses and horsemen who were in competition for the special rib bons was a subject of comment by those who witnessed the start and added greatly to the prominence of the event. The parade was in five divisiong, George H. Donaldson, driving Stella^ W.. 2.15%, was the grand marshal. The first carriage contained Hon. Mark M. Fagan, Mayor of Jersey City; Hon, Adolph Lankering. Mayor of Hoboken; Hon. Thos. Brady, Mayor of Bayonne, and Hon. Frank McNally, County Su pervisor. Second Carriage — Hon. Frederick Rippe, Director Board of Freeholders; Hon.
