ncrsary OF the Board o East Jersey Proprotors will be

the seat Of proprleoral government and the present
headquarters Of the association which has acquired tho
remnants OF the vast domain held by the twenty
four gentlemen "and Qrakcrs" who ent:rcd into tho
Jersey speculation In 1868. The present Board OF Pro-
pricors claim littlc connection with tho men who
owned all OF Northern NewJersey and governed II for
twenty-five years The propretors Of to-day acquired
their privileges by purchase the quarter shares which
they hold being marketable security though seldom
sold except In closing estate When the story that
such body exists after 200 years. Is told,
not much remains to be said concerning the
ProprlotOrs who business and took up the
enterprise for money making purposes. II Is probable
that this spirit has continued to tn cir snccessor as cgis
lation proposed by which the State would pay
a considerable sum to qunsh the problcnaca rights OF
the Board I'm certain riparian lands.
The Tuesday will consist principally Of
addrc ses Cortandt Parker and Professor Scott OF
Rutgers. Governor Albeit will preside and Professor
Cook the State Geoogst will display maps of the grants

able properly present the interesting features OF early
State history than Mr. Parker The homo Of his fore
fathers at Perth AmbOy and he retains his home
there. His broherinaw. William A. Whitehead. was
historian of the State and had number OF Ofaluable
documents which are In Mr.. Parkers possession. The
observance Will conclude with banquet, which has
been a strong point with the Propricors since the
earliest times
