The Season Ended.

The season of sports under the manage
ment of the Mount Holly Athletic Asso
citation closed with the game of foot ball
on Saturday.
The venture of the Association has not
been gratifying financial success, but
the directors have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they have given to those
who favored them with their support
some good athletic sports. The best BIZ
cycle riders of the country, fine base
ball club and an equally fine foot ball
team have been on the grounds to enter
tain the spectators.
The base ball team played 81 games at
home, of which they lost 5. One game
was contested out of town and was lost.
The foot ball team played seven games at
home, winning all but one, and played a
tie game away from home. This record
neither the stockholders nor the players
have any reason to be ashamed of.
With the experience of the past season
the managers of the Association are fully
equipped for another trial, and will at
once proceed to inaugurate the sports for
next season. 1t is to be hoped that their
efforts will meet wi tn more generous sup
port next wear

MUST Make Good the shortage

United States Marshal Pfelffer, of Cam
den, on Wednesday officially notified the
bondsmen of former Postmaster Samuel
Phillips, who was short in his accounts al
the expiration of his term, that they must
make good their obligation. The Motif.
cation calls them to Trenton tomorrow,
when it is expected that the money will
be paid to the post Office department.
The bondsmen are G. Henry Beldin,
Joseph w. Marlin. Isaac w. Buck, John
]. Norcross, Charles P. Farmer, George A
Rogers, DR.. L. Van Rensselaer,, Thomas
w. Wells and William M. Wells.
DR.. Van Rensselaer, and George Rogers
are dead, and the obligation must be met
by their estates or heirs. Each bonds
man will have to forfeit about 5000.
Captain Phillips was appointed post
master of Burlington by President Har-
rison, after one of the most bitter fights
that city ever knew. His principal op-
ponent was ex-Sheriff Hays.
The shortage was discovered at the ex-
piration of his term, when he settled with
the government. He claimed there was
clerical error, and was not pressed for
immediate payment There was an in
vestigation, and finally his bondsmen
were notified to make good the shortage
They employed counsel, and the case has
hung FIRE until now. Phillips denies that
he is guilty of any defalcation.

handing, after weathering two severe
storms, which thoroughly tested her sea-
worthiness. No attempt was made to
speed the cruiser, and she made the trip
from Honolulu in seventeen days. The
performance of the vessel in a terrific
typhoon excited great admiration. Cap
tain Read reports that the gale blew stead
lily for more than twenty-four hours, dur
ing which time the Olympia's decks were
washed at the forward end of the ship by
waves.
''For 900 miles," says Captain Read, eve
worked against head winds. 1t was a
heavy westerly gale, as severe as any l
have ever encountered. The seas ran
very high, and we buffeted them, taking
very little water. | came to the conclu-
sion that the Olympia is the best weather
boat l ever sailed in. We met several
heavy gales after that, but the ship be-
haved splendidly. The Olympia has speed
when we want to use it. We did not give
her much coal, but if we had done so she

LLOYD naRaafad.

The Supreme Court on Friday last filed
an opinion in the case of Atwood Lloyd
against Howard Parry, clerk of CHINA
minson township, in which the former
sought to have writ of mandamus issued
requiring the authorities of the township
to recognize him as having been elected
constable in the spring election of this
year. The court dismsses his petition,
with costs.
The township of Cinnaminson had had
four constables, and the term of one of
them had expired at the election. The
notice of election stated that one constable
was to be elected The ballots cast con-
tanned each one name for that Office and
George Armstrong was elected.
Lloyd, however, contended that there
we're two other vacancies in the Office
that two of the constables of the town
ship of Cinnaminson resided in territory
that was set off to the township of Pal
myra. under the act of April 10, 1894
He claimed that these two Offices there
by became vacant. The court, however
deemed it unnecessary to determine
whether a change of residence from the
township, from which he was elected
to another within the county, will vacate
the Office.
