The Bicycle Meat.

Neither the Burlington County Wheel
men nor the Mount Holly Athletic Asso-
citation had anything to do with the bicycle
fiasco held here on Saturday. The meet
was managed solely by Colby Worrell, OF
Buddtown, who has cast stain on a sport
that has heretofore been quite popular in
Mount Holly, and it was mistake to al
low him the use of the track, which
stands good chance Of being blacklisted.
Although quite a number of riders
were present the affair was failure from
every point of view. The five mile pur-
suit race did not come off. One rider was
quite badly injured and he was attended
to by physician. When the winners
found that there were no prizes on hand
they Became furious and threatened to
mob the manager, who wisely avoided the
indignant men as much as possible Just
why no presents were ready Mr.. Wor-
rell has failed to satisfactorily explain
Before some of the successful contestants
left town they demanded and received a
expenses, with the understanding that it
was to be returned upon the receipt of
the prizes which Worrell promised to for
ward. There was more trouble when up
on demand the manager was unable to
show his authority for holding the meet,
as the men did not know whether they
were riding in an unsanctioned race or
not The winners of the various races
follow:
One Mile Novice. Won by R. Cham
berlain; Ed. Hanson, second; Tod Sloan,
third. Time, 2394
One Mile Handicap. Won by w. H.
Cornwell; John G. Ledyard, second; II.

An Ola Timer.

Charles Frazer, of South Bend, Ind,
who was arrested for keeping his bicycle
store open on Sunday, pleaded in his de-
Tense that he could not see any difference
between renting bicycles and carriages on
Sundays, and called the judges attention
to the livery stables being open for bust
ness on Sunday This argument seems
sound and Frazer should be acquitted &C
cordingly. The complaint against Frazer
was not filed by the Sabbath Observance
Society, but by Mr.. Frazer's competitors
in the bicycle business, who all agreed to
close up on Sundays, but Frazer would
not agree to do so, hence the complaint.
Very few people who read recently of
the prosecution of Charles Frazer, of
Frazer, Roberts 6 Frazer, bicycle dealers,
South Bend, Ind, for keeping open on
Sunday recognized in Charles Frazer the
old Star bicycle champion, once the idol
of Smithville, N. j., and general favorite
with the at that time large number of
Star riders.
Charles Frazer disappeared suddenly
from the East about thirteen years ago,
after most successful career as amateur
and professional racer, and it was rum
ored that he had met his death in the
Maine forests while hunting moose, as
Frazer was most successful hunter and
trapper and accompanied the late ex Sen
ator Smith, who owned the greater part
of Smithville, on nearly all his hunting
trips. Other reports said he had gone to
Australia, but the true facts were that
Charlie got mixed up with Mount Holly
belle and went to Indiana and worked for
several years in the wagon shops of Stud
ebaker, of South Bend and continued his
hunting with the son-in-law of Mr.. Stude-
baker, who few years ago started him
in business, in which he has been success
full
Frazer was noted for three things on the
path; one of them was his immense
strength in driving the lever wheel, his
sangfoid under all circumstances and the
immense quantity of tobacco he could
chew on and off his wheel. He never
started without an immense chew of to-
bacco. The Wheel, ~ Y.

Architects W. D. and G. W. Hewitt Of
Philadelphia, have prepared plans for al
terations to school buildings at Burling-
ton, for the school board of that place.
-Four different buildings are involved and
modern appointments throughout will be
included.
A tabulated statement has been prepared
by State Superintendent Of Public In
struction Charles J. Baxter, showing the
apportionment by counties of the school
money for the school year beginning last
Saturday. The amount of school tax APP
portioned is 81, 1888, $50, to which is added
the amount of the annual state appropri-
alton of 100000. The number of children
in the state according to the school census
of 1893 is 466,714. Under the apportion-
ment Burlington county gets 1858, 341.07.
Sometime ago it was desided to build a
stone road between Burlington and Mount
Holly. Persons in this neighborhood
asked that the road be begun at this end
The reasons advanced were good But
Burlington people objected, principally
because the Mount Holly end wanted it.
and also claimed that Burlington was con-
tributing such a great amount for the
road, it should have consideration. The
road was started at the Burlington end,
and now the Burlington people are pass
ing paper around begging for special
town meeting to appropriate the money
necessary for the completion of their end
of the road
The Burlington Gazette on Saturday
published the following, which must be
hard nut to crack for some of the resi-
dents of that city: THAT John B. Davis,
of Westampton township, who is super
vising the matchmaking of the Mount
Holly road, is the right man in the right
place, was again demonstrated the other
day. In fact 1t is being demonstrated
nearly every day. Three carloads of stone
arrived at the Fountain Woods crossing
and Mr.. Davis found them to be inferior
in quality and told the contractors that
they could not use it. Engineer Henry
8. Haines afterwards appeared and con-
demned the stone and it was carted away
MIR. Davis Is probably the only supervisor
who puts his whole time on the road .

It's too bad that Mount Holly is through

It's too bad that Mount Holly is through
with Beverly for the League games.
What's the matter with Beverly's in
field It had six errors on Saturday.
Burlington has signed Willis, pitcher
from the Pennsylvania Railroad club.
Turner got weary and quit the game
after the SIXTH Randall taking his place
Mount Holly's infield is now very fast.
The outield has been that way for some
time.
Rogers is hard and sure hitter, but is
dreadfully clumsy in his fielding and base
running.
About 100 Mount Holly rooters followed
the club to Beverly, and they came home
rejoicing.
Demerest, Ships and Torrie, lately of
the Delanco club, played with Riverside
on Saturday.
Umpire Evans will offlciate no more in
the Burlington County League. Presi
dent Holt has laid him off
Mccain, who it was said had signed
with Burlington, pitched for the Lans-
dale club again on Saturday.
James H. Field went to Atlantic City,
on Thursday, where he has resumed his
position on the base ball nine for the sea-
son.
The sandy diamond at Palmyra plays
havoc with visiting teams, and numerous
errors may be looked for at any game
there.
Turner didn't get hit by pitched ball.
The players have caught on to his old
dodge and are posting the umpire accord
ingly.
Gibson and Hitchner now comprise the
pitching staff for Bordentown The lat
ter is expected to do the greater part of
the twirling
Burke dallied too long with Turner, who
tries to win any old way except by play
ing ball. Turner's bluff about Wilson's
delivery being illegal was burlesque
The Beverly club sent Saturdays score
to only one Philadelphia paper, the Times.
They evidently do not believe in too
much publicity when the home team loses.
Most of Beverlys team have had ex-
perience enough to play ball, but they
acted like lot of school boys on Satur-
day. The infield threw the ball any old
place.
McFetridge goes to Norwood for the
balance of the season. He was to go last
Saturday, but remained to play the game
against Mount Holly. Mount Holly is
glad that he stayed
Riverside defeated club travelling I'M
der the name of Hanover by the score of
II to 6 on Saturday. CONNER, the visit
or's pitcher, was easy, and Riverside got
II hits. Torrie occupied the box for Riv-
erside
Jack Burke, who played on the Mount
Holly club last year, has been appointed
on the staff of umpires He succeeds

When your stomach begins to trouble

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs help. The help it needs, is
to digest your food, and, until it gets it.,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obstinate,
very dangerous. Many of the most dan
gerous diseases begin with simple indi-
gestion. The reason is that indigestion
(not digestion, not nourishment) weakens
the system and allows disease germs to
attack it, The antidote is Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial, strengthening, nourishing,
curative. 1t cures indigestion and re
news strength and health. 1t does this
by strengthening the stomach, by helpin g
to digest your food. 1t nourishes you.
| Shaker Digestive Cordial is made of pure
herbs, plants and wine, is perfectly harm
less and will certainly cure all genuine
stomach trouble. Sold by druggists. price

Charles A. Shriner, fish and game pro
tector, reports that during May, SO white
bass, ia pike, perch, 254 strawberry bass
and 80 channel catfish were distributed.
Burlington, Camden, Morris, Monmouth,
Warren, Passaic, Sussex, Mercer and Hun
terdon counties each got pike, perch and
strawberry bass
The latter has been hitherto stranger
in New Jersey waters and came from Lake
Erie. 1t is commonly called the calico
bass in the west. It is described as of the
sun fish family, seldom more than pound
in weight, very gamey on the hook and
rising readily to the fly, unequaled for
endurance and rapidity of increase and is
excellent eating.
Mr. Shriner announces that the appro-
priation for stocking is nearly exhausted,
but that he has been promised liberal
allotment of black bass by the United
States Fish Commissioner, through the
influence of Attorney General Griggs.
The report speaks of the protection OF
sturgeon in the Delaware, and gives a list
of the prosecutions and fines for the VIC
lation of the fish and game laws.
