at all services was large and much enthn-
sasm was manifested Most of the visitors
came in by teams, while hundreds of
bicycles were stacked in all parts of the
grove, making the crowd on the ground
nearly up TO that of the first Sunday of last
year.
The days services opened with meet
ing at sunrise, conducted by Rev. George
WenfZell.

service of much power. Rev. Eli Gift

running catches and throwing were as good

Road Vacated-Imprcve ment In
Pros meet,

Yesterday, the Surveyors, heretofore an
nounced, met at Gibbstown for the purpose
OF considering the vacation of the public
road from Robt Hawthorne place, at Gibbs
town, to Crab Point, on the Delaware The
application was made by the Repauno
Chemical Company, the object being to
utilize the farm recently purchased from
Mrs. Eli B. Allen, for the purpose of extend
ing their works-doubling the present
capacity of their plant. The law forbids
the manufacture of their product within
1000 feet of public highway, and the
vacation of the road, which runs largely
through their land, was necessary before
the extension could be made. The COM
pany proposed, to those interested, to keep
a private roadway open to the uses of the
public, and maintain it at their own ex-
pense. When fully explained, no objection
was made, and the road was declared
vacated. and deeds executed. The pro-
posed extension of this plant will perma-
nently add from $50 900 to 100000 to the
taxable value OF the township of Greenwich.

NOTES.
The errorless game charm is broken.
Start over again and make it three
straight.
A little judgment in running bases might
have increased Woodbury's score.
The Country Club will play the West

noon.
Woodstown will be more careful about
running on long centre field hits the next
time they play against Farley.
Umpire Opel gave VanHart a "call
down" for questioning decision. That's
right "Gus" the management selected you
to be boss. 1t looked as if Wescott beat
the ball, but who knows whether or not he
touched the base right away. We don't.
