GRANDEsT INITs HISTORY.
The Quartette Clubs DaH Kept Up
Until Morning Under Difficulties.

Without a single exception the annual
masquerade ball of the Hoboken Quar-
tette Club. held Friday night in their
handsome clubhouse at Washington and
Tenth streets, was the largest and most
successful affair of its kind ever held in
the city of Hoboken. Ks early as eight
o'clock the guests began to arrive, and
by eleven O'Clock there were fully 1000
people in the hall. The only drawback
to the affair was the difficulty the people
had to dance wins to the crowded con-
ditiS1 of the floor.
The decorations consisted chiefly of
red, white and blue bunting, with Ameri-
can and German flags Coating from every
from every pillar in til hall. There were
also $50 red. white End blue electric
lights placed alternately about the hall,
at the foot of the gallery rail. On the
platform where the orchestra was located
screening the musicians from the view
of the floor.
The order of dance was an unusually
large one, and at four o'clock it was
but a little over half through with, and
the orchestra began to pay the dances
mission between them. Mr.. Adolph
Lankering, one Of the members of the
club, protested against the musicians
playing I'M such a manner, but had a
succeeded at last in ~persuading them TO
stay, but met with another setback just
as the gray dawn began to appear In
the east, by the distinguishing of the
electric lights. The gas was turned on,
however, and the s1 fun was as continued

GOLF AT BAYONNE
The Game Was Introduced
There on satuI-
day.
INTERNATIONALs LOSE AGAIN
metropolitan League of oricketers-
Yachtsmea Shoot at Clay
Birds.

The great English game of golf is fast
gaining a foothold in popular favor in
this country and there are few localities
IN which the ganfe has not been intro
duced. 1t was played for the first time
IN this county on Saturday and was in
troauced by the New Jersey Athletic
Club at Bayonne. The New Jerseys can
boast of several enthusiasts and they
came together in a tournament for three
prizes. The course was laid from the
baseball diamond on the club ground to
q point beyond the Central Railroad, a
distance of nearly q mile, counting the
return. There were nine to finish the
distance. The skill in the game lies in
the ability of the players to drive the
ball into the holes and cover the course
in as small a number of drives as pos
sible. The New Jersey golfers did re-
markably Well for beginners and got
over the course very cleverly. II. o.
schuyler was the most expert and won
the Champions prize. Among those who
expressed their pleasure over the game
was James e. Sullivan, President of the
N. J. A. c.. and Secretary of the A.A.U.
He was not up with the winners, but
ESCAPED the BOBBY prize. The scores

BROOKWAY AND FOLGER.
How the Secretary of the Treasury
Lost a Good Chance.

Here is the good story that is going the
rounds about Forger Brockway:-
William E. Brqckway. who was con-
victed Hast Friday of counterfeiting, was
in custody about twelve years ago when
Mr.. Theodore Frelinghuysen was Score
tary of State and Mr.. Folger, Of New
York, was Secretary of the Treasury.
Their had been an enormous amount of
counterfeiting going on and the Score
taries were very much exercised over the
matter.
Secretary Folger was revolving in his
mind plans by which counterfeiting could
be stopped. and thinking that he might
secure suggestions from Brockway, con
cluded to have an interview with him.
Brockway was keen and collected, and
when spoken to about his connection with
the business, said hat he could see no
wrong in it, as he had made better money
than the government had. AS a matter
OF fact, that was just what he had done,
ana tnat was why the counterfeits were
discovered. They We're better looking
than those issued by the government.
He then went on to make a proposition
which might have been well for the gov
eminent to have accepted. Now I rave
promised to. quit the business said
Brockway and although he was a big fraud
he really meant it. And / am going to
tell you as a representative Of the govern
ment what you need. You need a counter
felt detector who knows his business; one
who has been in the counterfeiting bust
ness and knows the ropes. He would do
more good thar half a dozen ordinary de-
tectives. I have stopped permanently and
offer you my services as a counter
felt inspector"
This was BONA fide offer, but of course
Secretary Folgef was afraid to trust him
and the opportunity slipped by. Brockway
kept his word twelve years and STAYED
out of the business. and it was not until
last summer at Hobokenthat he got back
into his old occupation.

Although the Janis Got Lost. 1t
Was an Immense show.

The Palma Club boys enjoyed one of
the finest stays of the season Friday night
The attendance was not as large as anti
cipated, but still there was plenty of
enthusiasm. For the first time in ears
F. c. Wolbert was not announcer. He
was unavoidably absent. John f. Rich
acted instead. The only hitch in the
performance was that the pianist did
not appear. He made every effort pos
sible TO keep his engagement but it was
another case of getting lost in the 'wilds
of Jersey City" He arrived at the ferry
all right but some one put him on a New
ark car. He went to the Hackensack
River. and finding he had made a mis-
take boarded another car and returned
to the ferry. He was next directed to
take a Bayonne car. He did so, went
to Bayonne, and shortly before midnight
managed to find the club house. The
club boys synpathized with him but he
was too mad TO ak He left for New
York in disgust. The Gardner Brothers
introduced musical specialties. Walter
Leo, an impersonator, kept the fun
going for a half hour. Fred Warren a
a number of new ongs, and then John
w. Kelly. THE Rolling Mill Man" was
introduced. For an hour he held the
stage. His stories were new and well
told. He was practically the whole show.
The committee in charge was JONI #.

and F. C. Wolbert.
