Meeting Held in Raritan Yacht Club House Last Night—Much Inter
est Manifested—Success of the Fete is Assured—Lists Given
Out for Collecting Money—Much is Promised..Many Subjects
Discussed and Citizens Make Recommendations.
. • _
The carnival committee met a re
presentative body of citizens at the
Raritan Yacht Clnb house last night.
The meeting was called to hear any
suggestions that the citizens might
, make as to ways and means of carry
g on the fete. The discussion last
until 10 o’clock at the close of
Which, several sub-committees had
been appointed, subscription blanks
/ had been distributed and this morn
1 ing the actual work of the carnival
{ has begun.
In the absence of Mayor Seaman,
Nathaniel Pierce was chosen chair
man .Among the subjects discussed
were the change of date for the car
nival, postponement in case of rain
on the night selected, matter of re
porting collections to the treasurer,
number of classes for boats entered
and prizes to be offered. Although
the general committee had announced
that the carnival would be held Sep
tember 8, it has since been found that
the election primaries will bo held on
that night, and objection to holding
the foto then has been raised. It was
pointed out last night that it was
necessary to hold the carnival at high
tide. No oDe wanted to have it on the
ninth as that is the date in New
Bruns wick, inu sevenm is nauur i_»ay
and the tenth would be too late as the
tide is not high then until about 11
o’clock. There was some hesitation
about holding the carnival on Labor
Day, but as it seemed the only avail
able time the citizens recommended
that that date be chosen. It was also
recommended that if ft stormed on
Monday to hold, the carnival on
Thursday following. It is for the
general committee to definitely decide
these matters.
The important matter of collections
received much consideration. It is
the desire of the citizens that the
'names of those contributing to the
t fund be published and to insure a
' steady growth in the amounts made
public, the collectors will turn over to
the treasurer the amount he has col
lected at least twice every week. It
was stated that no names should be
published until the cash was turned
over.
The citizens thought four classes
sufficient for the awarding of prizes.
These to be sloops and cat boats, cabin
launches, open launches and row
boats, and boats entered by societies

The Press and Advertising com
mitteee was given power to proceed
with their work. The nearby towns
will be covered with posters announc
ing the carnival and invitations will
be sent out at once. The various
committees will meet the general
committee frequently to report and
keep those in charge posted as to the
progress of the work.
Special attention is to be given to
fire works. It was said that many
people go out of town to see a display
and it is intended to have them spend
the amount a trip to Manhattan Beach
would cost them in the carnival here
with the assurance that they will get
their money’s worth in fire works
alone.

wreckage at the foot of Madison ave
nue, by Johii H. Gregory, is under
