No arrests were made' by the police except a few drunks who may have been celebrating the night of cpouKs ana goonns Because it was such or merely because they happened to have the price. No mischief of a serious nature was reported, and Chief of Police Bisant expressed himself to day as satisfied with the success of the arrangements his department had made to protect property. Bands' of merrymakers in the streets were not numerous, most of the energy of those observing the evening being devoted to indoor festivities. There were numerous parties, private and otherwise. Dancing of the tango was popular In certain quarters. Some miscreant gave an exemplifi cation of his idea of a joke when he pulled the fire alarm box at the corner of Third street and Twelfth avenue, and the run the department made to the place at 10:45 caused the neighbor hood to think for a time that there was something serious doing. The call routed most of the firemen out of bed. WARNINGS COME TO XAlXiHT. Warning had been given the chief of police that depredations were in tended at a number of places, and spe cial watchmen were stationed to thvart the gangs said to have planned the mischief.
