Y. M. c. A. Notes.

The physical and intellectual develop
ment OF the ancient Greek, is a wonder
to us moderns. Such physical beauty
has never been gained since. 1t is no
surprise when one remembers that the
child of four or five years was put into
the physical training school. That the
basis of intellectual attainments rests up
on the physical, seems to find a strong
argument in the Intellectual life of the
Greeks. To claim that man of muscle
is man of brain is not argued here. 1t
is claimed, however, that the man, or
woman, of good health and of sound
body is capable of the best mental devel-
opment To do brain work requires
muscle" The complete ruin of a BRAIN
worker is more common than that of the
muscle-worker. 1t is easier to undo
mentally than bodily. 1t takes severe
muscle worker years to break down. A
brain-worker can do it in three or four
years.
The excess to which modern sport is
carried is not held in esteem by the
writer. Our town fellows probably
won't overdo and become such fanatics
as some of their athletic relatives. That
there is a dearth of all manly sports here
is evident The effort on the part of
any individual or organization to estab-
fish in good repute some noble sport is
commendable. The difficult character
of the same will be recognized when it is
remembered that spirit of rivalry is
the chief inspiration to any series of ath-
letic events. That no rivalry exists is
seen. The spirit then must be created:
1st. By physical training.
2nd By athletic meets.
Sd. By proper inducements.
To mako a rl1OOar ont Of anu mon 10
impossible. Men are "built that way"
Such built men must be persuaded to
train before they can do anything COM
mendable. The training is not hurtful
if not oYerdone. A man will not gen.
orally train unless he has an opportunity
of meeting with others where his metal
may be tested. The field-day then be-
comes matter of importance to devel-
opment of the athletic spirit. The best
field-day occurs when the best prizes are
offered. Substantial support then on
the part of citizens is rightly expected
The influence of the manly sports is
good. Attention directed in this way
calls efforts from other things not as
beneficial.
All are urged to support athletic sports.
The Y. NJ. G. AS effort along this line
deserves notice and encouragement. AL
ready fair number of men are training
for the field-day, about September LIST.
The young men are urged to persist in
their efforts to popularize sports here,
thereby benefiting themselves and others.
Base ball and foot ball will certainly re-
ceive an impetus from coming games.

"crin ike a cheshire cal ~

"Well, we'll! Didn't ever hear of a
grin like a Cheshire cat?' Why, you
see, man down in Cheshire had cat
which grinned and grinned until there
was nothing left of the cat but the grin,
just as some scrofulous people, who do
not know of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, get cough, and then
cough and cough until there is nothing
left of them to erect a monument to but
the cough"
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is
the most effective. anti bilious, anti-dys-
peptic, strengthening remedy extant.
For weak lungs, lingering coughs, spit
ting of blood, scrofula sores, pimples
and ulcers, it is a wonderful and effica-
cious remedy.
It's manufacturers guarantee it to do
all that they claim, or money Is returned.

Mr.. Carpenter further stated: seThe price,

that his wife and two children, boy and

The Details of the Annual Summer
Outing at Asbury Park.

Wednesday,, August 20. will be known
among the Knights Templar of this State
as the annual field day of the order,a and

most desirable place for holding the
event. Prominent and distinguished fra
tiers from New York. Pennsylvania and
other grand jurisdictions nave been in
vited and will be present. In the obser-
vance of the exercises attendant on this
occasion it is expected that there will be
a very large representation from the va
rious communicates of New Jersey pres
ent and participate in the many interest
ing features of the day.
r. E. Grand Commander Mccain and
staff, having completed every detail of
the arrangement, has issued a general
order fixing the line ofmarch and an
nouncing the hour for parade, inspec-
ton and review. Many local command

They have engaged voss' full band, and

That wild west yarn in the papers this
morning about a mortal combat Ne
tween Mr.. Arthur Corbin's two buff
falo bulls suggests that the great rail
new business in rivalry with Mr.. Will
lam F. Cody.
The Street and Water Board heard
from Greenville direct last evening on
the subject of the poisonous Passaic
water. They were told that real estate
interests down that way are being
greatly damaged by the vileness of the
supply. But nothing tina they heal from
that section can exceed in emphasis the
things that people are saying all over
the city. There never before has been
such a general n angry outburst of
popular Indignation upon this subject,
for the simple reason that the water has
never before been SO bad. There is no
noticeable imrovement either. The
passing of the very hot weather has not
operated to lessen the horrible smell or
the fearful taste of the disgusting fluid.
If it is out of our owe to procure a
new supply, as the city authorities so
often tell us. of late. it is certainly pos
sible for us to establish a filtration
system which would make the water
more palatable, if not more scientific
ally healthful. This would not cost much
and there is no excuse for not beginning
the experiment at once.

CROWNED SCHUETZEN KONG.
Annual Picnic in Greenville of the


The Greenville Schuetzen Park was
an attractive spot yesterday upon the oc-
casion of the annual picnic and prize
shoot of the New Jersey Schuetzen Ge-
sellschaft. The affair was managed by
the Jersey City companies of the order,
and it was attended by the largest
gathering that has visited the park
this season.
The companies met at the 'haupt-
quarier's," No. 316 Third street, at ten
o'clock in the morning, and headed by a
brass band, marched to Exchange place
where special cars were in waiting.
The Schuetzen's left the cars at Col
umbia place and after a short march
through Greenville's prominent thor
oughfare, wen to the park.
The feature of the day was the contest
on the ~"Schuetzen Koenig' target. The
person making the highest score on this
target is crowned king, and for a year
he is the acknowledged leader. B. Nee
be made the highest score, 81 out of a
possible 70, but as he won the honor
last year, he had to surrender to the
second man, William Weber, who had a
score of So.
Other scores in the contest:-L. P. Han
sen, 50; Henry Behnke, so; A. Peek, 80;
J. Phanekuh, AZ; C. Kraft, Al; and Henry
Former AZ. AT the conclusion of the con-
test the ceremony of browning the vic
tor was performed: The prize winners
then formed IN a double cOiumn ana d
triumphal march around the park was
begun. Schuetzen King Weber was in
the van. He wore a gaudy red, white
and blue sash and his coat was almost
hidden by medals of all sizes and des-
criptions. There certainly was no proud
er man in Jersey City than Mr.. Weber
when the picnicers cheered him and when
the band played Hail to the Chief"
