TROLLEY NOT
YET READY
IN TOWNSHIP.
Hearings Were Resumed Last
Night but Matter was put off
Until a Later Date.
discussedThe time.
Members Seemed to Find Some Satisfac
tion in that—Mr. Quin Sends a Letter
Asking for Adjournment— Was not
l
Ready—Date Fixed for October First
People Losing Interest.
After several weeks of inactivity in
trolley matters in Woodbridge town
ship, the township committee got to
jether again last night to discuss the
>rdinanoe granting a franchise
snrougn me townsnip to me iiiiza
aethport, Amboy and long Branch
railroad. That all concerned are get
ing read> for a winter of debate talk
iromises, amendments, objections de
lays and adjournments is evident
torn the way the fall sessions opened.
Mr. Quin, of Carteret, representative
if the trolley company, sent a letter
stating that it was impossible for him
o be present and asked that the hear
ng be postponed until a later date.
Diiis was finally granted.
The fact that Mr. Quin was absent
stopped all discussion of the pet sub
ect, trolley, and some of those pres
int showed their disappointment
Mainly. There was onb matter left,
lowever, Which had to be decided.
Che date for the next meeting had to
>e filed and those present grasped the
ipportunity like a drowning mm af
er a straw. Accordingly the debate
icened and the committeemen did
hemselves proud in eloquence as to
he correct time to hold the next
□eeting. The date was finally fixed
or Thursday, October 1.
That the people are becoming tired
vas evident from the attendance last
light. Only about six citizens were
resent.
ENOUGH RED FIRE TO ;
BURN FOR TEN DAYS.:
Enough red fire to burn continuous- '
lv for ten days will be purchased for
the carnival and it will all be set off 1
in a few hours, according to present 1
plans. The General Committee met 1
last night and authorized the fire- ]
works committee to spend $75 more -
making a total of $425 for fireworks.
This additional money will be put in '
red fire, giving the oommittee ten '
gross. The entire sound and bay will '
be aglow with the light and there is 1
no doubt but that this year’s carnival '
will eclipse all previous attempts. 1
Boat owners are getting busy along 1
shore preparing to decorate. Some
designs will be very novel and inter- 1
esting. Lanterns and candles are be- *
ginning to arrive. No doubt there 1
will be great rivaliy in getting the E
best decorations in the line. The 6
open boats will be a great feature. *
Tins is doubtless because there are so
many of them. An effort is being
made to get as many tug boats as pos
sible and owners from South Amboy, j
Tottenville and this city, are being
urged to enter.
Mayor Seaman announced last night
that the mayors of New Brunswick
and Rfthwav hart ennRpntpd tn apt as ^
judges and Mayor Muirhead, of South x
\mboy, was expected. The runway a
which rises to a slight elevation above ll
;he end of the Raritan Yacht Club
lock will be used for the judges P
stand. From that point an excellent ^
new of the entire bay and sound is 0
ifforded. The runway will be fenced r
iff and an officer stationed at the en
srance to prevent the orowd from “
lushing too hard.
If the music committee so agrees a
land will be placed behind the jud
ges on the end of the yacht club dock.
Fhis, it was thought, would be an ex
lellent feature as the largest crowd of
people will be in that vicinity and 1
when both bands are afloat, they can T
not be heard when the procession is m
Far up the sound.
The committee meets again tonight
so further complete the plans.

ACTIVITY
AMONG THE

With the Opening of the Fall
Months--The Trades are
Kept Busy,
IN BUSINESS CENTER.
Many H uses About the City are Being Re
paired—New ones Constructed—Sever
al Stores Being Enlarged and Improved
—Two Churches Under Course of Co*
struction.
Building in Perth Amboy seems to
have taken a sudden jump with the
beginning of the fall months. Con
tractors carpenters, painters and ma
sons are busy everywhere and seem to
get more busy every day. They are
either engaged in making retiairs or
new buildings are being erected.
The new house and store being

PROSPECTS ;
GOOD FOR
ATHLETICS.

With it the Sports Begin—
Good Material.
FOR FOOTBALL TEAM.
This Game has Been Neglected Together
with Baseball fer Some Time—May get
Together this Season-Basket Ball has

With the opening of the local
schools next lueBday come hopes and i
expectations as to what will be ac- i
complished during the school year (
now approaching. Of course,advance- j
ment in stndies and classes is para- 1
mount to all else, bnt, inseparably as- 1
sociated with this part of school life, t
is the athletic spirit. !
The propects for athletic activity in 1
the High School the coming year are \
very bright and there seems to be no
reason why the representatives of the g
crimson and white shonid not eclipse 1
all former successes on the diamond, 3
gridiron, field and track. There is t
good material in the school to draw j
from, plenty of it, ana renewed inter- g
est along these lines, coupled with g
conscientious work, should again j
bring High School athletics to the fore
The class of 1903 was comparatively 1
small when placed along side of the e
three other classes so that, in reality, p
the material left in the school is j
practically as good as last year. To- (
gather wit); those left jvlape. the in t

AUTOMOBILE PASTY \
ii
ohn H. Gregory and Party Journey Across c
the State to Philadelphia.
An automobiling party composed of
>r. George W. Tyrrell, and Messrs.
ras going to New York in the inter
st of the bridge and would probably
o to Washington to see the War de
artment about the matter. Mr.
Ilenn declared that next week he was
oing to Albany to «oc about ilic
roper legislation in that State.
Should such a bridge be built it
ronld have to be done entirely by
Dint action of New York and New
ersey and both legislatures would
lave to pass measures appropriating
le money. A Dridge between the
no States is entirely out of the hand
f the county. Mr. Glenn says, in ;
is opinion, such a bridge would
take Perth Amboy th6 metropolis of .
ast Jersey.

It was reported to the police this I
orning that thieves, had entered
ollschweiler & Johnson’s hotel on
rout street during the night and car
ed off some whiskey, a box of Rob
t Burns cigars and also £5 from the
.sh register.
The theft was discovered upon open
g up this morning and traces
owed that the robbers had entered
rough the transom over the hall
better material than ever.
[t will be well to consider the differ- v
3Dt branches of athletics separately j
md see what the outlook is in each. J
In this list, football naturally comes *
irst. Its season is nearly upon us and 1
ilready most of the college teams *
rave commenced to get in condition 0
'or this fall. It is well known that h
:he High School has not been repre- D
lented on the gridiron for some time, ®
int a team could be gotten from the
ichool by hard work, which would be "
worthy the name.
In baseball too, interest waned last
leason, but with so many new mem
iers and an experienced coach, a good
line could be secured.
For basketball, the prospects are
?ood. That game sgcured a fast hold
ast year and is a fixture.
Field and track athletics should not
offer either, for they also took a
itrong hold the past season and the C
acilities are better than ever.
THE SOCIAL CIRCLE.
lew Organization of Young Men is Formed
—Dance at Boyntons.
A new organization of young men
irominent in the social affairs of this
re
iity and Woodbridge, has just been g
tarted and is known as the Social „
Circle. On Thursday September 10, .
he members will give their initial e]
utertainment. This is to be a dance
t Boynton Beach, and as it willprob
bly be about the last affair of the ^
ind at this resort, this season, a g]
rrge attendance is expected. g
The floor manager will be Roy J- d,
fall oooictorl hr F _T Mnlvihlll TllP
ior. No cine to the identity of the
rson or persons is at hand. The
dice are working on the case.
It is supposed that this theft was
mmitted by the same persons who
>ve been making depredations of a
milar character about town for al
ost a mouth, notablv the one at San
ir Kish’s saloon on State-street.

carriages in which a number of mon
keys were caged.
In the pushing of the crowd to see
who could get nearest the wagon,
young Toft was jammed so close that
Mr. Monkey simply put out his paw,
