o'clock in The evening noticed q
jolly party on the small dancing plat
form near the lake. ''Joe' Carroll,
with his witticislns, was keeping a bevy
of young ladies in constant laughter.
Billy Donnelly, with his natty
little mustache beautifully curled,
was paying devoted attention to an
exceedingly pretty young lady from
Brooklyn. Pat Kealey was beaming
with good humor, and he had reason
to be, as he was accompanied by one
of the handsomest young women in
West Hoboken Owney kilduff, be-
ing splendid dancer, was successful
in attracting some of the young ladies
from Joe Carroll, but Joe was not
nad-not bit. He could win the
prettiest girl on the platform if he so
desired. Then there was Johnnie
Cox, all the way from Jersey City.

one of the bevy of Brooklyn beauties.

across, and that was Peter Kerrigan.

All of the young ladies living on
Grove street, Jersey City, and on the
other streets which the Hoboken line
of horse cars traverse, are sad. The
smiling countenance of the Hand
some Harry Hopkins, who pulled a
strap on the Hoboken line, has been
missed. 1t is said that Harry tipped
his hat at least twenty times on each

Young ladies we will state that Harry
is yet alive and well and is now on
back platform of one of the elevated
cars.
