CLEVER TROTTING.
An Especially Interesting Race
r. at Riverside.

The usual Thursday afternoon mat
inee was held June 10Th, at Riverside,
large number of interested specta'
tors being present to enjoy the occa
sion. In the judges stand officiating,
were David Davis, starter; Jere. Fraz-
eur and Lewis H. Fox, judges. and DR..
Teller, Secretary.
The trotting was good, the horses
going well, and splendid time being
made. The feature of the afternoon
was the trotting of VIM. McFarland's
"Belford E." The bay colt went
steady and square, and while he had
nothing to hurry him along, he came
under the wire at the end Of the mile
in 2.37, one and a half seconds faster
than any horse made during the
matinee.
The first race was when "Belford
|aE." did the fine trotting. McFarland's
colt had never gone to sulky but
three times, and he trotted like a
machine. He was never headed, in
fact, there was nobody with him that
made a very good trial. Tom Will
liams was second with Samuel King, y
and Clark, of Fairton, came in third,
with "Elijah." Emma "" did not
act very well, her mouth being sore.
"Phelia Powers acted tired and trot-
ted poorly. The summary.

VIM. Fox, Emma "" A
L. D. Patten, "Phelia Powers"
Time, 237; 2.38t.
The second race was tame and un-
interesting. 1t was contested by Vim.
F'ox's ''Deiia F." and T. Williams IS.
P. Richman." The former had a pic.
mic and only went in 2.434 in the fast
est heat. The second heat was 2.45a.
The last race was a warm one, but
Minnie O." won two straight heats.
The time was low,however, the fastest
heat being 2.3Sa, VIM. Robbins ''Rol-
Ter" hurried Minnie" but he was not
fast enough yesterday to win. VIM.
McFarland's "Charles" is improving,
but is not in the best form yet, and
only made fast clips. His breaks were
rank and he was hard to settle. The
summary is:

WEST JERSEY ACADEMY.
The Annual Meeting of the Board
OF Trustees.


The annual meeting of the Board of
Trustees was held at the Academy
Thursday morning. This meeting is
usually held at the close of school, but
was postponed to later date this year,
In order to secure the attendance of
the Principal. elect, Mr.. Phebus W.
Lyon, who came from Elmira, especial
ly to meet the Board.
The usual routine business of the oc-
cas1on was transacted, reports of the
various Committees and of the Treasur-
er embodying the business history of
the year. The action of the Executive
Committee in granting a release to
Mr.. Caleb Allen and their subse quent
election of Mr.. Lyon to the Principal
ship having been endorsed by the
Board, Mr.. Lyon was introduced and
an hour was pleasantly spent ia the
arrangement of plans for the re-organ-
ization of the school in the autumn.
MIR. Lyon reported that he had already
engaged the services of two young
men Of high scholarship and character
as assistant teachers, and would soon
have other preliminary arrangements
completed. The Trustees have ar
ranged for somewhat extensive i'm
provements to the Academy within
and without and expect, by the open
ing of the fall term, to have the insti-
tuition in excellent shape for the recep-
tion of pupils.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyon will arrive about
the first of August, when matters will
rapidly take shape under their person
al direction. Mr.. Lyon seems already
to have made an excellent impression
upon all who have met him, but his
visits have, as yet, been brief, on ac-
count of the pressure of his duties at
Elmira, which he cannot finally dis
charge until August first.
By the annual election of officers,
Rev. H. H. Beadle, President; DR.. H.
w. Elmer, Vice President; James j.
Reeves, Secretary and Robt. M. Seeley
Treasurer, were reelected for the en-
suing year.
The Executive Committee of the
Board will consist of j. N. Bodine,
Chairman; Jas. j. Reeves, Secretary
, W. G. Nixon, Robt. M. Seeley, Oberlin
Smith, Ed. M. Fithian and Rev. s. w.
Beach.
A standing committee was appointed
to represent the interests of the Acad-
emy at the meetings of the West Jer-
sey Presbytery.

AN OPPORTUNITY.
"A Grand Park Scheme for Bridge.
ton.

Bridgeton is favored, perhaps, more
than any South Jersey city for beauti-
ful trysting places. 1t has delightful
groves all about the flourishing city,
with wide, smooth, mirror-like lakes
and excellent drives for those who de-
light in drawing the reins over fleet
footed animals. But above all is the
winding, densely foliaged race, which
leads from the very centre of the city
to Sunset lake or the Tumbling Dam,
which is broad expanse of water
bounded upon every side with shaded
groves, in which pleasure is unre-
stricted.
1t is of the Tumbling Dam that tie
PIONEER speaks. Where In all South
Jersey is there the natural attractions
for a Park as there is there? Where
can a more delightful drive or row be
found than there? For years the
Tumbling Dam has been a picnic
ground. Away back in the past it was
known as the poor mans Cape May.
To-day should anybody desire to in
vest little capital. one could make
the Tumbling Dam delightful resort.
The place would need but very little
attention, excepting general clearing
up. A small house would be needed,
with several rooms in it for guests, not
especially rooms for lodging, but for
use during the day, with restaurant
and ice cream saloon attached.
Picnic grounds could be made very
attractive, and with a pavilion for
dancing and other pleasures. Then
with boats to hire, there would be a
great attraction for the masses. This
scheme has been considered by several,
and in few short years, the PIONEER
believes the work will have been ac-
complished, and Bridgeton will have a
park which will be creditable to the
city, and great pleasures can be en-
joyed for very small expenditures.

MUST COLLECT GARBAGE.
The Board OF Health Sits ON the
Collectors.

A special meeting of the Board of
Health, was attended June 10Th by
every member excepting Mr., McGear.
President Powell was in the chair.
The meeting had been called for the
purpose of awakening to the true sense
of duty, those who have the collecting
of the garbage in the various districts.
Before the Board had adjourned, they
sat upon the collectors pretty severely,
and also threw out some strong hints
to the people generally.
This resolution was passed, and if
needed by the citizens will remedy
existing evils: "All persons whose swill
orgarbage is not collected in accordance
with the Sanitary Code of the Board
of Health. viz: Twice in each week,
will report the same to M. W. Appel
gate, the Inspector, or President
Powell, Secretary Wells, or any MEN,
ber of the Board. Also report any
dereliction of duty upon the part of
the city scavengers."
Then the Board cast adrift this gentle
hint to the public in general "While
the Board of Health will insist upon
the systematic removal of garbage by
the persons licensed for the purpose,
they call attention to Section 35, of
the Sanitary Code, Of the Board, which
requires the householder to provide
suitable water tight receptacles, prop.
erly covered, not larger than half
barrel, for holding garbage; and to
Section 80, which prohibits placing
ashes, broken glass, shells or other
rubbish in the garbage receptacle.
The Board will positively insist upon
the proper observation of the above" +"
The Board also authorized the In
spector to make a personal inspection
of the entire city, especially to see if
Section 35 was carried out. Everyone
failing to adhere to the law will be
dealt with according to law.
The Board elected Hon. Thomas w.
Trenchard, Solicitor of the Board,
at small salary, for advice, and to be
paid fees for all cases attended to by
him for the Board. The Board will at
once proceed to enforce the law, which
it is claimed has been dagrantly vio-
lated, in two or three particular cases
about town.

SENATOR CARLISLE can always be re-
lied upon to say something and say 1t
well. In reference to statement made
by Senator Stewart, Senator Carlisle
said:
The Senator had omitted to state that
all the taxes collected on imports In
Great Britain went into the public treas
Jury. On the contrary It was the opin-
ion OF many that Ii the United States
three or four times as much went into
tho pockets Of private indiyiduale as
went into the public Treasury, con-
sequeEtly that did not appear la the per
capita statement. The policy of Great
Britain wan TO impose taxes mainly, ifnot
entirely, on articles not produced in that
country. The result was that the tax
did not enhance the price to the consumer
Of any domestic product. The policy Of
the United States, on the con-
trary-and IL waa still further carried
out by tho pending bill--was to put on
the free list, articles not produced In this
country, and to impose taxes on articles
similar to those produced at home. The
effect IL not the object of that policy,
was to increase the price of the domestic
article In other words IL imposed on
American citizens, In the form OF en-.
HANGED prices, a large amount OF taxation
that did not appear in the statistics at
all.
| II has been estimated that this in
creased tax amounts to $40 per capita. OF
about $3.50, 900, 000-a sum SUFFICIENT tC
put every man, woman and child pro
tected wage-earner out Of reach Of pow
erty for life, but not sufficient to satisfy
the tarif-robbers.

THE New York World has been relent-

records Of the deeds showing how the
cottage was transferred to Mrs. Harrison
for the nominal consideration Of one
dollar. This deed was ssnt from Wash

limit expired. Now II President Harri-
son has paid for the cottage
after the scandal, he has very
properly done what he should
have done before, and certainly
all that he could do, after the scandal oc-
curred. He should have the credit OF
not requiring "brick house to fall
upon him, at least. But the organs
need not make the lying defence that
1he cottage was not a gift, and was not
accepted as a gift because the publ,
records Of June 8, 1890. show that Their,
was deed Of gift, and that It was 5,
