Fog Signal at Muskegon.

Congressman Bishop will probably Sc
cure an appropriation for a steam fog
signal at Muskegon. Congressman Hep
burn of Iowa, chairman of the commit
tee on Interstate commerce, says:
'Since there is TO be no river and har-
Dor appropriation bill the committee
deems it only fair and proper that such
bill as Congressman Bishop urges
should be favorably considered and
passed"
The gas buoys have worked so well
and have gil en- such satisfaction that
an effort is now being made to secure
an appropriation which will provide for
forty more buoys of the same kind. 1t
is quite likely that the appropriation
will be made.

treasury has reported to the secretary

MORE EXCITING THAN EVER.
New Jersey Games Have Many New
Features.

The New Jersey Athletic Club Carnival
of Sports on Memorial Day will be more
exciting than ever. With the customary
promptness the programme will be
opened with a match of associated foot
ball at twelve o'clock, and this will be
Immediately followed by a lacrosse match
between the Staten Island Athletic Club
ard the Monteiair Athletic Club. The
track ana field events will commence at
two o'clock and follow each other in reg
ular rotation. The events are:-100 yard,
handicap; 440 yard, handicap; $50 yard,
handicap; l mile run, handicap; 220 yard
hurdle, handicap; l mile walk, handicap,
and running high jump, handicap. The
three events are:-3oO yard run; throw
ing Is pound hammer; and putting ~
pound weight. In the former event D. ].
Wefers will attempt to break the worlds
record of 80 seconds, but Wefers will not
nave matters his own way. He will be
opposed by some half a dozen college
sprinters. each of whom are nearly good
for a worlds record. Flanagan, the
champion hammer thrower of the New
York Athletic Club. will attempt to break
his own worlds record of $50 feet g
inches, and. judging from his recent work
in practice, he will easily accomplish his
object. One worlds record will surely be
broken, and that will be in the putting Of
the AZ pound stone.i .. ]. Hennessy, the
Irish giant, is over now in record break
ing form and the only question troubling
him is how much he will add to the pres
eqit worlds record of 2S feet " inch. The
prizes offered this year will be the most
valuable ever offered for an athletic meet
and will be on exhibition In a few days.

CITIZENS ASSOCIATION A FIzZLE
West Side Property Owners Take no
Interest in the Movement.

The proposed West Side Citizens Assoc
citation has not as yet amounted to any
thing and not even a meeting to organize
such an association has been held. The
members Of the Greenville League Club
offered those who are behind the project
the use of their clubhouse in which to
hold the meetings n they were given
the choice Of any night in the week with
the exception of Wednesday evening,
which is tbs regular meeting night of
the club.
. Those who are or who were interested
in the movement intended to organize an
association for the purpose Of agitating
improvements on the west side. The as
ISOLATION was not to be in opposition to
the Citizens, but It was said tnat the
members Of the Citizens Association did
not know what improvements were need
ed on the west side and therefore that
organization would not benefit the prop
erty owners OF that section. The cause
of thc delay, 1t Is thought. is due to the
scarcity Of members or rather property
owner s~ignifying their intention to join.
