another hour until the harbor police boat
sounded its whistle at the mouth Of the lake
The harbor master in person brought his little
steamer up to the wharf, quickly his row boat
was launched and two men began the search
which was watched by nearly thousand pair
OF anxious eyes, there being many ladies and
gentlemen present besides the bathers, and in
about half an hour thrill of horror
passed through the throng as a long and
brought dead body to the surface. The face
was pleasant and in no way distorted, yet I'M
knownto any one present, though we have often
seen the young man at the beach.
This incident has distressed me beyond ex-
preston; first, because this young man may
have left parents as fond Of their bright boy as
l am OF my children--at any rate there are
some to mourn his loss and my heart goes out
to those mourners with sympathy-and, second,
because after nearly three years of strenuous eff
fort to establish bathing place systematically
constructed and conducted as to render such
an accident nearly impossible this thing has
occurred In cur waters on the very eve OF OPEN
ing. For long time after we began work on
the beach we forcibly drove away the boys who
seemed determined to battle there, until the
ing contractors delays we merely stopped driy-
ing the boys away to let them have what enjoy
ment they could Then when the wharyes were
completed the boys poured in from all direc-
tions and some spent nearly all day in the sand
and water. Now, what 10 the cause Of this acct
dent? Among shouting mob Of boys cutting
up all manner OF antics one is found under
the water; he has been 80 long there that
he is dead; no one had missed him; no one
knew of his previous existence, and that
il what is wrong. Tho beach is not open for
use, and the statement published today Is erro-
neous in that respect We have no means to
pay keepers to look after the safety and COM
fort Of bathers. Unexpected but necessary
demands have exhausted the appropriation
even before the grading under water has been
done as well a. it ought 10 be, and nothing il
left to pay keepers. A year ago suggested in

snces should form all over the city, SO that
they might come to the beach and battle to-

proceedings came to close. Through the
carrying of a resolution introduced by one
Director, Director II. NJ. Larue resigned
his position as Superintendent Of the pa

Judge of the racing. Mr.. Larue's deter

racing rules. his in1eXible determination to
protect the public and squash Jobs, and his
long acquaintance with all the State horse
men made his presence on the stand most
desirable.

the fair is getting into full stride. With the
arrival of these gentry there has also come
into town an army of tramps. drunk-rollers

ones are arrested in squads, convicted on
