RAILROAD NOTES.

The Central Railroad has introduced
into its new station in this city a feature
which is greatly appreciated by the trav-
Cling public. 1t consists of an orna-
mental sign board which denotes at what
time a train standing on each track de-
parts and at what stations 1t stops. The
chief attraction about these new sign
boards is the fact that they are, unlike
most indicators of its kind, perfectly in
teliigible.
The traffic on the Newark and New
York branch of the New Jersey Central
has increased to such proportions of late
that the road is now running several of
its trains during business hours i'll two
sections. One section run through,
making only the two Newark stops, while
the other runs to West Bergen and makes
the four Jersey City stops.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
has SO much freight business On hand at
Jersey City it is almost impossible to get
floats enough to carry it across the river.
Central Railroad of New Jersey at this
season of the year is the oyster trains.
Heavy trains from Port Norris and Long
Beach, on the Southern Division, Gum
berland and Maurice River branch, run
into Jersey City every day, sometimes in
two or three sections. In the early hours
of the morning the wharves along West
street, New York, are a busy sight. All
the cars are fioated over and the dealers
and huckSters soon empty them, The
company also sends a train every day to
Scranton and Wilkesbarre.
Mr.. C, S. Bechdolt, formerly Assistant
Chief Engineer of the middle division of

Alleys.
The Hudson County Amateur Bowling
League has gone to pieces. The two Ho-
boken clubs were averse to going on with
four clubs, t~heyswanted to have either a
larger league or abandon the scheme.
The true i~nwardness, however, of the OBJ
lection TO organizing q league is the am
bition of the Spartans to enter the Pome-
roy League, of New York, which holds a
national tournament in New York every
year. The Pomeroy League is composed
of fifteen clubs There are twelve clubs
enrolled now and this leaves only three
vacancies, with q dozen clubs knocking
for admission. $t& Ns
The League has decided to have a pre-
limiuary tourney for the clubs desiring to
enter, aud the three clubs winning the
greatest number of games will be adj
mitted. The Spartans. have entered, and
are sanguine of being one of the three to
be elected, and consequently they had
little interest in the County League, for
if they got into the PomeroY League they
would have been in time to play match
games on this side of the river.
The Hudsons OF this city compete in the
games for admittance. The names of
the Hudsons were given yesterday. They
will, ii they play with then usual skill
and luck attends them, be one of the
three to be chosen as they are five OF the
best bow1ers in this county.
The Spartans, too, can,prodtce v men
who can get very close to the 200 mark

Pitcher Keefe and the brotherhood.
Boston, Oct. IL, 1SS9.-Pitcher Keefe, of
the New York Baseball Club. and the
secretary of the Brotherhood of League
Players. was here yesterday and his opin-
ion on the war that seems to be impend-
ing between the players and magnates
was sought. He was very non-committal,
but remarked that the players had vital
grievance. and that there was no reason
why the League should be trusted after
the way it had previously violated faith
with the players. He said
I'VE want the abolition of the classifi-
cation of the players, and we want the
sale of players entirely done away with.
the purchase money"
In answer to questions Mr.. Keefe said
that the Brotherhood would hold a
meeting before the League meets and
would probably appoint a committe with
full powers which will appear before the
League at its meeting to find out what it
intends to do for the players.
When asked if the Brotherhood had de-
termined to branch out for itself, he
said:-'You had better wait until the
League holds It's meeting if you want to
find that out."S
Mr.. Keefe said he did not see why the
Brotherhood could not make a success of
such a movement. The public will go to
see the best ball playing nc matter who is
at the head OF the movement.

Tho Jersey City bird shooters were
numerous Yesterday at Dunellen. 1t was
the third day of the tournament Of the
Middlesex Gun Club. The local cracks
got i'thar, {" as they were up in the fore
most rank at the finish, notwithstanding
the fact that the best bird shots in the
country were entered and were knocking
over the flyers as fast as they left the
traps.
1t was not a day for winning money as
there were too many in the "divvy."
In the first event only two men out of
the -twenty-seven failed to get a place. In
the second all the thirty-four competitors
were in the pot. In the third and last
contest every one of the thirty six shots
We're placed and the men in the third and
fourth stations did better in the finance |
grab than those who had better scores.
In fact twenty men made a clean score
of kills in this contest, and, as they had
nothing to divide except their own cash,
they decided to shoot OFF the tie this morn
ing. 1t was the same in the first shoot OF
the day when eleven men killed every

The first shoot, or event No. Is on the
card, was at eight live birds for a

The entrance fee was six dollars. Sigler

birds straight, and Quimby and Jones
were with the nine who missed one.
The second event, No. 10 on the pro-
gramme, was at ten live birds for u
guaranteed purse of 5000. The entrance
fee was $40. Hughes was among the
twelve who killed all, Sigler was with
the nine who killed nine, and Captain

Dangerous Stumbling Blocks on Ocean
Avenue.

Avenue.
The residents of G~reenville are firmly
convinced that a drive down Ocean ave-
nue. at night is quite if not more exciting
than a trip down the bay in a gale. A
number of people who have had occasion
to drive along the avenue during the past
two weeks nave had their horses thrown
down aud badly cut and themselves
thrown out by the heaps of stone which
have been placed there by the
Street and Water Board for the
renlaeadamizing of the road. Mr..
Victor Lembeck was driving along the
avenue q night or two ago, when be-
tween Woodland and Fulton avenues his
horse was thrown by q heaD of stones.
No lights had been placed there to warn
the public of their danger. MI. Lembeck
has complained to the Board, but it has
done no good, for last night 10 less than
five heaps of stone were lying in the road
without any lights whatever.
