NEW ASSOCIATION FORMED
For the Protection of Fish and Gam,
With Many Prominent Members.

The Troy Meadow Fish and Game
Protective Association has been formed
with the following officers:
President, Percy H. Johnson, Bloom
field, N. j.; vice president, Frederick
j. Hall, Bloomfeld treasurer, Samuel
L. Kirkpatrick, Glen Ridge, N. j.;
secretary, Harry w. Wambold, Bloom
field; directors, Senator Mahlon Pitney,
Morristown; James G. Young, Jersey
City; Junius Kidd, Elizabeth; William
Fl. Hall, Bloomfield, and Leonard B.
jackson, South Orange.
The object of the association is to bet
ter protect the fish and game in this
section, as well as for the protection of
property owners who, in the past, have
been prejudiced against hunters who
travelled over their lands, destroying
property and crops in their anxiety to
seek game.
All further trouble is now to be done
away with through the formation of the
protective association, which has al
ready posted the preserve and employed
watchmen to look after the violators of
the law. The preserve is noted for its
quail, woodcock, gray squirrels, snipe
and rabbits. The streams and ponds are
alive with trout and, in fact, all fresh
water fish. The preserve is now being
thoroughly stocked and every precau-
ton taken to keep away poachers and
trappers at all seasons.
Owners of property are to have the
same privileges upon the preserve as ac-
tive members. Articles of incorpora-
tion will be filed at an early date.

Pretty Syrian Girl and Her Brother

Every season so-called foreigners,
generally Arabs or Syrans, infest the
seaside resorts, pestering visitors of the
gentler sex with great persistency to
buy their wares, generally comprising
laces, jewelry, rugs, etc.
On Tuesday young woman accom-
panied by "my brother" she said, ap-
peared in Morristown, and at once be-
gan a systematic canvas of the houses
of many of our wealthy residents for
the purpose of selling rugs, of which
the pair apparently had an unlimited
supply. The old trick of saying she
had been sent by Mrs. So and So, men,
tioning a neighbor, was as usual sue
cessfully worked. The rare beauty of
the girl added very much to the ease
with which she captivated her willing
dupes to the extent of many hundreds
of dollars, who readily paid prices which
with one accord would have been de
nounced as ''frightfully high" had they
been named by a reputable merchant of
our town.
Peddlers and auctioners of rugs, and
cheeky individuals who promise to make
portraits for nothing, apparently have 4

That the new management of the

and the building of new bridges at New

say nothing of the installing of the best

FIELD CLUBS
HORSE SHOW
Brilliant Event to Occur October
10, II and Il.

Prize List Ready in Fortnight En-
tries to be Confined Exclusively
to Jerseymen President Elliot
Smith, Treasurer w. j. Romaine,
R. II. MetcaIfe and W. S. BIltz,
Committee.
The announcement that the Field
Club will give give a horse show is
the most important one socially that
has been made in Morristown this
summer. Always successful to a re-
markable degree, the event this year
will be in advance of anything previous
ly held. This decision was the result
of frequent requests, which tlnaily be-
came so urgent that the club manage
ment issued the following circular, and
which was mailed to each contributor,
box. x.holder and exhibitor of last year:
MoRRIsTowN, N. j.,
AUG. 5, 1901.
Dear Sir
The Field Club had abandoned all
thought of holding Horse Show this
year, but within the past few weeks SO
many requests have been made for its
renewal that we have decided to test the
extent of the demand by asking replies
to the enclosed questions.
We should be greatly obliged if you
would make some reply even if you feel
Indifferent on the subject.
Should show be held it would be
limited to amateurs and probably to
horses owned in New Jersey.
Very truly yours,
MoRRIsTowN FIELD CLUB.
Enclosed were three questions in
effect:
1. Will you contribute to the Prize
List?
2. Shall you probably take box?
3. Shall you probably exhibit horses?
The replies have been, with but very,
very few exceptions, most favorable, and
others hearing of the possibility of hav-
ing a show, have asked leave to contri-
butte.
There is no escape. The show will be
held on October 10, II and 12, but to
emphasize the local interest, will be IL
mited to New Jersey exhibits only.
It is believed that this will be the first
important purely state Horse Show ever
held.
The show will be held at the Morris
town Driving Park, the arrangements as
to seating being the same as last year.
The boxes will be sold at auction at a
date to be announced later. The prize
list which will be lengthy one will be
announced in about fortnight. An
important change is made in that all en-
tries will be confined strictly to Jersey
men and amateurs.
The unqualified success of last years
committee has lead to reappointment
of its members as follows: President of
the Field Club, Elliott Smith; Treasurer
w. J. Romaine; and Messrs. R. FL Met
calfe and w. S. Blitz.

THEY NOW KNOW BETTER.
Have of Late Dt~.nxa>1
the Old Notion About ola
siaI Movements. -.

Afew years ago geologists confident
~ asserted that at one period of the
worlds history q great Ice cap came
moving down from the polar regions
ana swept over North America as far
south as latitude 3S, carrying with it
great bowlders-which lie about on
s."pes and hilltops to this day to
prove it-and scratching the record Of
IFS movement upon cliffs and lodges.
ltsn this ice cap kindly melted and
disappeared This was taught in the
schools, and to doubt it was heresy:
for science, when it takes up with q
theory, is dogmatic, and all geologists
said: Behold, how wonderful is our
knowledge; what secrets we can
wrest from the past!" After awhile
science rather gave up the polar ice
cap theory and LAID down a new dog
ma-that of single continental ice
sheet for North America
The recent Investigations of officers
OF the Canadian geological survey
prove that the scientists evolved their
glacial theory out of vivid imagina-
ton. 1t has been found that in
northern Alaska there is no evidence
that that part of the country was
ever covered by glacier--in fact,
conclusive evidence exists that it was
not. At the mouth of the Mckenzie
river is plenty of evidence Oh glacial
action, and also that the glacier
which left its records came from the
south. On the western snores Of Hud-
son bay are marks of glacier which
came from the west, and on the east
ern shores of one which came from
the east. East Of the Canadian Rock
les is a long belt which shows no evil
dence of ever having been exposed 30
g;acial action.
These and similar discoveries hare
put the gen'ogists "all at sea-" ard
they now haze evolved a new theory
regarding the glacial period. It is
that one big glacier did not at one
time cover all the North Americau
continent, but that several glaciers.
moving at different times from di =
serent centers of distribution, made
thelr way In different directions and
left the glacial records which are now
found. They have even given names
to these glaciers, such as the Cor
>dilleran glacier" the "Labrndorian
glacier" and the "Keewatin acier."
Prof Lawson, of the University of CAD
ifornia, in writing on the subject in
the international Monthly, says that
as yet it cannot be said that the sue
cession of these great glaciers in time
has been established well enough to
warrant an unqualified acceptance.
but he seems to have little hesitation
in accepting the theory of different
glaciers moving from different points.
