Bridgeton pioneer., 1888-06-14

! a dying hero in the late war, who dis
dained help, but, wanted the old flag
to be kept flying, and he then closed
by saying, My Brother, in this great
battle for God and humanity, though
we fall in the fight, keep our old flag
aloft.
During the evening, series of tab
leaux was given, representing the
principles of the order, Virtue, I" Lib
erty" and Patriotism" Each was
reflective and beautiful, under the lurid
glare of beautiful red lights. A trio,
by Messrs. SAUL, Barker and Wood
ruff, costumed and corked, represent
ing jolly darkies ''Somebody's Laugh
ing was heartily encored, and even
then the audience was not entirely
satisfied. Messrs. Clark, Evans and
Riley gave an excellent exhibition of
Kehoe club swinging, and Miss Lydia
Hubbs sang beautifully that sweet So
prano solo, ''The Days of Youth and
Love-" A male quartette consisting of
Messrs. Barker, Shull, Stafford and
Tomlinson sang song, and Charles
Landwehr rendered beautiful clari-
net solo, and was encored. Mr.. Gus
tave Bacherach of Philadelphia, was
next introduced, and made neat ad-
dress in which he elaborately gave the
principles of the order which was be-
ing celebrated. He was met many
times by applause and his remarks
were most thoroughly enjoyed. Miss
Daisy Stratton closed the program
with recitation particularly inter-
esting to the members.
After this unusually fine program,
those who took part, with the com
mittee and officers, to the number of
thirty-fve, repaired to the dining rooms
of S. M. Ogden, and sat down to a
sumptnous repast, the banquet lasting
until nearly the midnight hours.
The Committee, and indeed the en-
tire Council, are to be congratulated
for the excellent entertainment pro-
vided, and the wish of all was that the
22d anniversary might be as heartily
enjoyed.
Hotel Leased.
DO d0n Saturday Mr.. Noah Ayars, late
of the Central Hotel, this city, and
Frank Chew, a prominent ex-West
Jersey Railroad conductor, leased the
Hotel Anglesea," and have taken im
mediate possession. The Hotel is a
large one containing more rooms than
the Hotel Cumberland, of this city,
and is richly furnished througout every
department, and accommodates over
two hundred guest. The Hotel is
three stories high and situated directly
upon the beach. Either Mr.. Ayars or
Mr.. Chew, perhaps both, will go down
to the new hotel to-day and make all
necessary preparations forimmediately
opening for the season. They intend
to run the house in a practical and
satisfactory manner, so that once
guest, means visits in the future.
Both men are popular and have a
large number of friends who will do
all they can to help support the enter
prise. OF late years Anglesea has de-
veloped into favorite resort for the
fashionable, especially those who de-
! light in fishing and cunning. 1t is one
of the greatest fishing places on the
coast, and many persons interested in
piscatorial spor: have been attracted
there. We sincerely wish for Mr..
Ayars and his partner success in their
new enterprise, and urge upon all
Bridgetonians who find themselves
during the summer at Anglesea, to
| give them call while guest of the
place.
Among the many new Offices created
by the last Legislature is that of Vine
gar Inspector, who is to be appointed
by the various Boards of Freeholders.
He is to inspect all vinegar that is of
fered for sale, determine and certify to
the percentage of solids and keep re-
cord of all inspections. The salary is to
be fixed by the Freeholders, and in ad-
dltlon to this the Inspector is to re-
ceive 81 for every certificate of 'the
percentage of acidity' and So for every
certificate of ''the percentage of vine
gar solids" which he gives. The law
permits the Inspector to pocket these
fees, which are paid by the owner of
the vlnegars inspected.
