Georgia Riaemen's Charges.

It is to be hoped that Governor voor-
hees will grant the eques Of the Georgia
rinemen for an investigation of the
charges which they bring against the
scorers at the recent match for the Hill
ton trophy at Sea Grit.
Briefly, these scions OF Southern chiv-
airy charge that the scorers SO falsifed
the Jersey s~harpshooters' record that
they were given the trophy, although It
really was won by the G~eorgians. No one
In this State who knows General Bird w.
Spencer, Captain Guy Walker, Colonel
Reid and the other gentlemen having
charge Of the range at Sea Girt. believes
that any such a thing ever occurred there.
If 1t did It would lave been promptly dis
covered and instantly rectifed. and the
responsible parties disgraced. Neverthe-
less. the charges have been spread broad
cast over the country, and the honor of
New Jersey is at stake. They reflect not
only upon the Jersey riiemen and those
In charge Of the range, but upon every
citizen Of the commonwealth. It Is
therefore necessary that they should be
most thoroughly investigated and proven
false so that eyen the chagrined and dis
appointed Georgians will have no doubt
of their falsity. The State can far bet
ter afford to lose the trophy than accept
It with a faint of dishonesty upon the
manner In which it is acquired. Every
man, woman or child who honors the
fair name Of New Jersey, Is vitality inter-
ested in this question, and demands that
aspersions Of dishonesty against the
State should be wiped out.
The Governor has plenty of authority
and warrant for conducting the investi-
CATION. He is chairman of the Executive
Committee Of the State Riff Association
and Commander of the National Guard,
a team Of which captured the prize. He
should lose no time In squelching the dis
appointed rage of the Georgians.

PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT

The following appears IN the New York
Sun this morning.
Admiral Dewey frequently commended
the police arrangements for the naval and
the land parade, and just before he board-
ed his train in Jersey City he expressed
admiration for the way in which the Jer-
sey City police handled the crowd, The
New Workers who went over to see him
off thought that the Jersey police had
justified his praise. The big station was
filled with people and the crowd outside
extended clear to the pier on which the
Admiral landed. Chief Murphy preserved
orden and prevented the sightseers from
crowding the Admiraiss party with the
aid of only eighty policemen. Before the
Admiral arrived, the Chief went through
the crowd reminding those present that
the Adrnira wanted TO see them quite
as much as they wanted to see him, and
that IL they would act like sensible peo-
pie there would be no trouble. He rea~
saned with the crowd, and although his
police force was so small, Dewey passed
from the pier to his car without the
slightest Inconvenience. The admiral said

Decline Of the Country Fairs.

It is painfully evident that the country
fair has had Its day in New Jersey. It is
not so many years since that almost every
county in the State had its annual fall ex-
Inhibition, which was well attended by the
people for miles around the county seat;
the Waverly, Mount Holly and somervilie
FAIRS had a State reputation.
One by one these have been obliged to
give up the exhibitions and go out of
business until there has lately been moth
ing left but the Interstate at Trenton and
the Waverly Fair. This year both OF
these have suffered considerably; and the
management are wondering If the day Of
their usefulness has not passed.
The last exhibition on the old Wayerly
ground has been held and the Board of
Directors are seriously considering
whether they Will continue the fair or
not. There is an element In the board
that advocates purchasing or at least
leasing the old race track at Linden, but
whether this viii be done is extremely
doubtful. The management OF the Inter-
state is just now involved in a dispute
with its secretary, which will probably re-
suit in the resignation Of Mr.. Mulrheid. a
loss which the enterprise will greatly feel.
Owing to the falling of OF receipts, the
management has directed Mr.. Muirheid
