Reyiving Roller skating.

The five mile relay race on roller skates
was billed to take place ut Metropolitan
Hall on Saturday night and attracted a
fair crowd. Charles Walton, the New
York expert, was to have skated five
miles against five men who were to each
skate a mile in turn. His opponents were
to have been George Lockwood, Walter
Green, ]. Pach, Thomas Longfield and J.
Martin.
Only two Of the five appeared to meet
Walton. They were Longtield and Lock
wood. A young man named Ellison was
introduced as n fast skater and it was de-
cided to put him in and not d~isappoint
the audience. Lockwood started with
Walton and the latter had a lead of 300
yards at the end of the mile. Ellison then
started. but he moved SO slowly that he
seemed like standing still when Walton
went around the circle. This Disguised
Longfield who declined to start. Walton
stopped after going four miles.

A Proposed New Bank.

A number of North Hudson business
men have been considering seriously the
advisability of building a bank in that
section. One of them said to me this
morning:-'.If a bank was opened on the
boundary line between West Hoboken
and Union Hill there is no apparent rea-
son why it should not be successful. Our
citizens are enterprising and thrifty, and
the stock could easily be disposed of. 1t
is q scheme that commends itself to the
careful thought Of every Il who has the
slightest interest in the growth of this
section, aud / think it will not be long
before the idea will take a more definite
shape.n

only Amateurs to Run.

A New York paper had a sporting note
yesterday in which it wa intimated that
the Scots were making preparations for a
lively fight against the Waynes. as the
latter contemplated entering two profess
SIGNALS in their team in the cross country
on election day. It is doubtful if the
Scots aver for a moment entertained the
idea that the Waynes would be guilty of
resorting tosuch tricks.
The two men referred to are Jack Shell
lar aud Eddie Kennedy, who competed in
the twenty mile race at the Ninth Regi-
ment Armory in New York a few weeks
ago. Kennedy is travelling and is not a
member of the club. Shellar. like Jimmy
Larkins, is on the honorary roll. Captain
O'Brien said that they need have no fear
of the Waynes having to depend on pro-
f~essionals to win, as they have amateurs
in their ranks who will capture the
prizes.

NORTH HUDSON AFFAIRS
The Political Pot Boi1s in
Lively Fashion.
A PROPOSED NEW BANK.
Death Of a Well Known and Highly
Esteemed Lady.

The citizens of West Hoboken have al
most forgotten their new charter in the
excitement of the election.
The Council has appointed Thursday,
December 10, as the date on which the
special election will be held.
The fate of the new law seems to be
doubtful. The Committee of a Hundred
are sanguine of carrying the day, but
West Hoboken is In independent little
town and there are a number of its citi-
zens who are not in favor of the new
measure and they are not afraid to ex-
press their views.
Election day is drawing near and the
fight in North Hudson is growing hotter
and hotter. Usher, the Democratic can
didate for Assembly, with the Kickers
Endorsement, ought to have a walk over,
but Rudolph Frech, his opponent, is o
| hard man to beat, and Tommy and his
friends may have to hustle.
Noonan, Purnell and Warden, the can
didates for Freebooter, will run in the
| above order. Pinnell may lessen Noonan's
majority, but he certainly cannot hope to
beat him. and as for DIR. Warden, wen
his best friends look upon him as out of
the race and wonder that he should have
allowed the Republicans to nominate him
for sacrifice. Albeit. Mcdonald. Nc
Laughlin, Bruggeman and Fielder will
all obtain good majorities in the district.
A number of ratification meetings have
been called for next week.
There will be one in Was Casino,
Union Hill, on Tuesday, one in Pam
entel's Hall, West Hoboken, on Thurs
day and one In Notte's Hall on Saturday
evening. A number of prominent Dem
ocrats will address the meetings,
Mrs Mary Yoeike's Death.
Mrs. Mary Yoelke died at her home,
corner of Jefferson street and the Boule-
ward, last evening. Mrs. Yoelke settled
in North Hudson when Union Hill was a
village Of q few hundred inhabitants, and
during the long years she lived there won
the respect and love Of her neighbors.
She will be buried from the church of the
Holy Family tomorrow morning. The
Rev. Father Grief will sing the solemn
Ia of requiem.
John Hoefiich Horse Guards.
The John Hoefiich Light Guards of
North Hudson will have their annual
prize shoot at Floral Park this afternoon.
This evening the members of the Guards
will entertain their friends at Kessler's
Hall. The members are all enthusiastic
Democrats and are working hard for the
success OF the ticket.

The Benevolent Society of the Holy
Family Church. Uuion Hill, at its meet

The gorgeous autumn's here.
What though the mountains are deserted
There's elsewhere ample cheer.
What though all lonely are the beaches?
In town there's lots OF fun.
What though are going out the peaches?
The apple times begun.
What though the nights are chilly growing

In parlors where bright fires are glowing
Loves tales may now be told.

In short, short skirts forego,
With other charms they're conquests max.

For thankfulness there's always reason:
Come sunshine or come rain,
Whnte er the changes, every season
Brings pleasure in its train.
