CAMP FRANKLIN MURPHY. Sea
Girt July 20, 1902.--Governor Murphy
Murphy was afforded an opportunity
Saturday afternoon to participate III the
mock 'pomp and circumstance OF war,
as Commander in Chief of the army and
Navy of the State of New Jersey. The
Third Regiment of Camden, which, with
the Second Troop of Cavalry of Red
Bank. had been in camp all of last week
and should have gone home, was held
until the Second of Trenton and Eliza
beth and the Gun Squad of Camden ar
rived. when a review of the Second Brl-
gade, which these troops formed, was
held. The usual crowd of summer
boarders and Gotta gers from the nearby
resorts witnessed the ceremony, skirting
two sides of the parade ground with
line of handsome equipages, from which
the pretty summer girls in attractive cos
tunes of white, enthusiastically applaud
ed the Governor, his gorgeously arrayed
staff and the excellent marching of the
soldiers.
APPROACH WITH DIGNITY.
While the spectators were waiting for
the ceremony to begin a small cloud OF
dust was noticed slowly approaching on
the Spring Lake roNd. Soon it was dis
covered that the cloud vas made by ar
automobile in which two forms sat up
right. One was short and dressed in
blue sack suit topped with yachting
cap, which made him look exceedingly
nautical, while the other, tall and spare.
was crowned with Panama and wore
an ordinary business suit. As the auto
slowly approached the ground at meas
ured and dignifed pace, it attracted
much more attention than it would have
had it come up with a whirl and bang
like the many other vehicles which were
ON the ground.
Some one declared that the nautical
looking gent was Admiral Dewey, who
was visiting the camp incog., and the
crowd was on the tiptoe of excitement
until il was noticed that he was resting
his hands on the handle of an umbrella.
That's no sailor" disgustedly said
one of the Naval Reserve who has
made two cruises through the Sound
TO Fishers Island, and considers himself
quite tarry. sailors don't carry UNI
brellas''
NOT DEWEY, BUT FAGAN.
Just then a Jersey City man present
recognized the nautical looking gent. as
Mayor Mark Pagan, of Jersey City, and
his companion as Corporation Counsel
George Record. He told Major Lentz,
who was standing by, who the visitors
were. The Major swooped down upon
the Mayor, took entire possession of him
and introduced him to the gathered
statesmen with the air of one showing
around new curio. The Mayor was
quite lion and was received by the
Governor and Republican leaders present
with much consideration. He bore his
honors modestly and unobtrusiyely, and
made favorable impression upon those
who do not know how he is administering
the government of Jersey iCty.

less Importance who gathered on the
parade ground to review the procession
