Bans the Merry-Go-Round.
Verily the most captious of music critics must confess that when the overture of "Poet and Peasant" is hooted out by the steam calliope of a merry-go-round it carries to the juvenile ear a more vital inspiration than could a Philharmonic feast in Carnegie hall or a whole opera at the Metropolitan. Imagine, then, the grief of Tarsos Polycrone at the refusal of Mayor Scott of New Rochelle to license him to operate a $30,000 merry-go-round on a lot that he and his two brothers have bought at the entrance to Hudson park.
Supreme Court Justice Platt of White Plains will decide whether the gorgeous merry-go-round planned by the Polycrone brothers shall be sanctioned or not, for the indignant trio have applied to him for a writ of mandamus to compel Mayor Scott to issue a license.--New York Sun.
