ALL GUILTY ONES FINED, $10 Levied on Flower Pickers; 85 on Baseball Players; $3 for Littering Lawns. Seventy-four park rowdies fell Into the hands of the police In Prospect Park yesterday us the result of the activity of the force of the Prospect Park station under command of Captain Lawrence Murphy. Not since the days when Captain Jlilcs O'Reilly struck terror Into the hearts of Sunday rowdies in the park, over five years ago, have such wholesale arrests been made.

When the offenders were brought up in toe Flatbush court this morning for arraignment, they found Magistrate Reynolds dealing out justice there with a tern band. Working, band in band with the police in the crusade to stamp out the Sunday rowdyism, the judge fined every prisoner found guilty of picking Dowers SHI, every one guilty of playing l.aseball 5 and every one guilty of throwing papers about tbe lawns J3. As a result of tbe magistrate's efforts to maintain law and order in the park on Sundays, the coffers of the city were enriched by Added to this, 45 in iiuues for speeding automobilists and those driving without lights and one line jf $25 for speeding yesterday the first under the new law the total cash taken in today in the Flatbush court was In Imposing the fines Magistrate Reynolds stated that the condition of the lrk this morning, as observed from the windows of his home, which overlooks it, is such that it will take a force of men working nearly a week to clean it up again and give It a respectable appearance. He also announced that if the wholesale fines did not break up the rowdyism, he would In the future proceed to mete out sentences on Black-veil's Island. The arrests, yesterday, were made by two detectives from the Sixteenth Inspection District, Officers Danahel and Me-Qowan, and eleven patrolmen from the Prospect Park station Policemen Mac-Kelvey, Peacock, Tierny, Sergeant.

Farley, Burns, Flnnlgan, Luperne, Murphy and Janvin. Hard Day's Work for tlie Bluecoats. It was the hardest day's work put in by the guardians of the peace in the Park in many a moon. Every time arrest was made it necessitated the officer walking all the way from his post In the Park to the station house, facing the parade Grounds, generally a round trip of nearly two miles. One of the officers upon whom this worked a special hardship was Patrolman Farley, who tipped the scales at 280 pounds when he reported for duty.

As a result of making ten arrests, with a hike of two miles connected with each, Farley loBt twenty-five pounds during the course of the day. The task of the officers was made especially difficult because of the fact that the Park was jammed with one of the biggest crowds In its history. According to the rough estimate or the police, tnere were upwards of 60,000 persona there during the day. Today the walks and lawns look as if struck by a storm of naper and lunch boxes, so littered are they. Snowball Trees Despoiled of Their Blossoms.

The beautiful snowballs, which were In full bloom, proved too tempting for many of the visitors. Five were caught in the net of plucking them, while many others did so and got away the stripped bushes testify. Although no women were arrested. It was evident from the remarks of one of the men taken Into custody to Detective McGowan that they were often the real insplrers of the law-breaking. This East Slder confided in the officer that he didn't care about the flowers himself, but his sweetheart wanted a bouquet.

One of these who had to pay 5 for playing ball got into very serious trouble while on the way out of the court. Herman Albert of 850 Myrtle avenue was just leaving tho courthouse steps when, it is alleged, he proceeded to ehout out his opinion of the court. According to O'ficer MacKelvey of the park station, who was nearby, Albert said that "there were a lot of robbers in the court." When he continued to make a disturbance and call the officer names, MacKelvey placed him tinder arest. He put up a fight, but was overpowered by Detectives Fennessy uud Owens of the statnon. Afew moments later hj faced the magistrate on a charge of disorderly conduct and on a plea of not KiJlty held In $50 bail for examination Monday.

Many Hadn't Money to Pay Fines. The complete results of the crusade yesterday was as follows: For plucking flowers, four fined $10; six went to jail for ten days in default of the fine and one pleaded "not guilty" and went to jail In default of $300 bail, for playing ball; forty-five were fined $.1, six went to jail for five days in default of their fines, and one pleaded "not guilty" and went to jail in default of $300 bail; lor throwing papers about, six paid a line of $3 and one pleaded not guilty and went to jail In default of $.100 bail. Several of those who finally paid fines at first pleaded "not guilty." but when ihey found themselves in the cell under a heavy bail, a few moments' reflection convinced them of their folly, and they changed their plea. At least fifteen did this. About half of the prisoners spent the night in the station house jail, while ihe others were balled out under $25 cash bonds.

Four of these latter failed to eppear, and Magistrate Reynolds promptly Issued warrants for their arrest. The first victim of the new speed law in Flatbush was Arthur E. Biggs of 878 Carroll street, who was caught on the Ocean Parkway by ni Policeman Van Cleaf racing at forty miles an hour. He was given the minimum sentence under the new regulations $25 fine which he paid. COURT OFFICERS THANKED.

The court attaches of Part I of the Supreme Court, together with their asso ciates In the other part3, were hugely tickled today when Justice Kelly, who had presided In Part I for the month of May. took occasion to compliment them' on their reputation for courtesy. He said: "There is a remarkable thing that has happened this term. I received a letter from one of the jurymen here, desiring me to express his thanks to the attend- ants In the court, both uniformed and nnuiiifortned, as he says, for their eou--! tesy to the jurors during his term of That is another universal circumstance which is very gratifying. I wrote to him and thanked him, on behalf I of the attendants, for his courtesy." THIS IS OUT OF SEASON.

Supreme Court Justice Leonard Gie- of Manhattan told his fellow jus- tices today that he saw a buck and roe deer near his home at Riverdale-on-the- I Hudson early this morning, and that the animals were so tame that they had to he chased into the woods by a policeman.
