said we would leave such a pastime to our contemporaries, and vve did. The guesses and the facts were amusing: We will cite the result for trustee, there being two to be chosep and con¬ sequently a wider range for guessing. One paper suggested Stephen P. Pettit, John D. Gunning, Fred Ortell, William E. Golder and R. A. Mansfield Hobbs. The other named William E. Golder, R. H. Mayland, John D. Gunning and Williani P. Jones. Ballots at the pri- A.

Assemblyman Miller has introduced the following bill which it seem.s should in fairness to the villages through which the city runs its con¬ duit lines, be passed, without opposi¬ tion. It is entitled:
"An act to require the city of New York to make certain improvements in connection with its water supply sys tem in villages and Island," and reads:
Section 1. It is hereby made duty of the city of New York to level the soil over all conduits now owned and operated by it on lands owned or to be owned by it which it has or may have an easem-nt, as the case may be,

It was expected that there would be a larger fight for the various offices but instead the opposition circulated jieti- tions, which explained why they were not out to vote :
