GEORGE WnDEs
Mount Holly, N. J., Sept. 81, 1900.

In answer toan item in THE News of last
week which stated that letters to members
of the township boards of registry had
been sent out, the Burlington Enterprise,
owned by cashier Haines, made prompt
denial as follows:
Getty Councilman Semple, who is the
secretary of the County Board of Elec-
lions, was shown the above, as he mailed
the notifications and ought to know
whether such letter went with any of
them. On reading the item he promptly
and emphatically denied the truth of the
statement, saying that no such letter was
sent with any notifications mailed, and
moreover, if any such letter had been Of
fered he would not have permitted it to
90 in with the official missive. Thus il
would appear that peanut politics are on
deck just the same, but they are on the
other deck.
The emphatic denial of the truth OF
the statement" refers only to that part
which said the letters accompanied the
notification. In this particular we were
mistaken. In all other respects the item
was correct. Even the editors of thu
Enterprise must admit this as they have
been shown documentary evidence on the
point. This may be seen at THE News
office if any one has the curiosity to lool

The current weeks bill of vaudeville at
Keiths contains the names of Amelia
Summerville Milton and Dolly Mobiles,
Mcintyre and Heath, Foy and Clark and
Walden, a European female impersonator;
among the fifteen acts which will consti-
tute the entertainment. Miss Summer
vile will appear in monologue entitled
''An Afternoon Tea" promise being made
that it will prove of very diverting and
entertaining type. Mcintyre and Heath's
Georgia Minstrels'' act is too we'll known
to need comment, but it may be noted
that they promise much novel fun-making
in addition to the more familiar work
Milton Mobiles "a Blue Grass Widow" is
one of the best of the merry little farces
in which he has appeared and has been
selected as his present offering. Walden
comes with a strong recommendation
from abroad, and his representations are
said to be of more than ordinary merit,
while his gowns are declared to give a
veritable fashion display. A new farce,
"Ouo Vadis Upside Down. " will be given
for the first time here by AL. Shean and
Charles L. Warren. Among other new
corners will be Almont and Dumont,
musical instrumentalists, and Little and
Pritzkow in character sketch. A feature
of the biograph will be a picture of the
German battleship Odin, the crack boat of
the war lords feet, during the recent
great maneuvers at KEEL The entire
Keith programme will be given at the
Walnut on Tuesday afternoon at the Gal
weston relief matinee.

series of three exhibition games arranged
between the clubs after the close of the
League season, and Mount Holly won two
of the three.
Although the county seaters took two
of the three scheduled league games from
Burlington. and had the highest percent
age when the league quit business, our
neighbors still thought three more games
should be played to decide the county
championship for 1900. The games have
taken place, and the pennant winners are
still on top.
The game on Saturday, which occurred
at Burlington, was won by Mount Holly
by superior batting, fielding and base
running. It was close and exciting, and
was witnessed by large crowd.

Our Own Fair /.

When the Burlington County Agricul-
tural Society was compelled to give up
and go out of business there was regret
not only in our own vicinity but in many
neighboring counties. Each year as the
date for the annual gathering would ar
rive there would be inquiry whether the
fair would ever be revived. Sharing in
the general regret company of Burling
ton county gentlemen decided to try and
give the people chance to enjoy their
old time pleasures, even if it had to be on
scale not quite so elaborate as hereto
FORE This curtailing idea was abandoned
as the time for the fair has arrived and on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next
week the old grounds will display an &C.
tivity that will remind one of the days in
the past.
As soon as it was stated that there
would be fair there was great demand
for particulars and the premium lists
were eagerly sought. They were sent
out in all directions and as a result the
entries are beyond all expectations.
In the art department alone there are
nearly one hundred entries and they
come from many places Philadelphia
Reading, Wilmington, Baltimore and else
where, showing the interest being mani
tested.
Especial attention has been paid to the
racing department and fast horses which

George Wildes had the following card
in the Record on Saturday:
Editor Of the Record:
My attention has just been called to an
item which appeared in "zhe Record
early in the week to the effect that | had
withdrawn from the contest for Senator in
Burlington county desire to stamp this
statement false in fact and in conception.
The article was intended to injure me in
my canvass for the Office and to lead my
friends to believe l had deserted them al
the last moment. This is not So Having
canvassed the county and knowing the
sentiment prevailing, would be recreant
indeed, to withdraw now. l am in the
contest to remain until the last vote has
been cast in the convention. I sincerely
hope as you have given the false state
ment circulation you will give my denial
equal publicity.
