FRANKLIN MURPHY GOVERNOR OF NEW
JERSEY.
and where failure resulted. 1t is like
the study of a game of chess, played
on a gigantic scale. The Govern
ment has made the whole field a
National Park, with over forty miles
of fine macadam roads winding over
hill and plain, and following closely
the lines of the two contending arm
les. There are upwards of 800 regi-
mental monuments, marking the po-
sitions held by different regiments !;
many of them are magnificent works
of art, we'll repaying great study.
This can be better understood, per-
haps, when it is remembered that
these monuments and statues have
cost over three millions of dollars.
Really, three or four days is needed
to make a proper survey of the field,
although a week would be better.
While this section of New Jersey
was visited by storms, the W eather
at Getty sburg was delightful.
"The unveiling of the Slocum
statue took place last Friday after
noon; addresses were made by Gener-
ais Sickles and Rodgers of Sandy
Hill, New York, formerly of Slocum S
corps, Colonel Baxter of Elmira,
Governors Odell of New York, Stone
of Pennsylvania and Murphy of
New Jersey. In the evening the
annual meeting of the Society was
held, when addresses were made by
Mayor Low of New York, followed
by remarks by General Howard, Cen
eral Sickles, Governor Murphy and
General Brooke. Here was an array
of many of the best speakers of the
country, but it is not an exaggera-
tion to say that the finest impression
of all was made by our own Cover
nor Murphy. His address in the
afternoon was very brief, but it was
so thrilling in effect that at the
hotels afterwards men were repeat
ing it almost word for word. His
remarks in the evening were purely
extemporaneous as was evident by
various little things, but they we're
finished in stvle, elegant in diction
and charged with the deepest feeling.
The Jerseymen present were proud
of the Governor.
Governor Murphy entertained his
fellow survivors of the Thirteenth
Regiment, N. j. Volunteers, at the
annual reunion held in Newark on
Wednesday. His address was most
interesting one, from which we
quote:
"Forty years ago / was 16; you
were IS. Most of you have had your
hair whitened, and with some your
hair has disappeared altogether,
although have escaped this affiiction
personally, SO far, myself Cover
nor Odell told me the other day that
he couldn't understand the old SOL
dier element. That was because he
was not soldier himself But we
can understand each other, because
of our common experience. We
fought together, marched together
and starved together, and we under
stand each other. There is no tie
that binds men closer together than
the tie between old soldiers"

NEW JERSEY AT GETTYSBURG.
Governor rIurphy Wins Additional
Honor Says Chaplain Fox.

The annual meeting of the Society
of the Army of the Potomac was
held at Gettysburg last week, the
final services occurring on Friday
night. The occasion of the meeting
on the site of the famous battle was
the unveiling of monument to the
gallant General Slocum. Ex-Mayor
Fox, chaplain of the 77th New York Vol
unteers during the Civil War, and
Vice Chancellor Emery, formerly a
lieutenant in the 10Th Regt.. N. j..

society, were among the Jerseymen
present. In an interview with DIR.
Fox he said:
Gettysburg is today one of the
most interesting places in the United
States. The landscape is one OF rare
beauty. The visitor is at once inter-
ested in the study of the tactics of
the battle, and the various move
ments, where they were successful

SCHOOLS OPEN

tors for loo2-3.
Morristown school opened its doors to
eighty students yesterday for the fall
and winter session. This is the largest
class ever enrolled in the institution.
Many of the buildings have been freshly
painted the grounds tastefully graded,
and new dormitory has been added
which will accommodate six formers
and two masters. The dormitory is
known as the Herm's cottage and is stu
ated on the Whippany road short dis
tance below the main buildings. A new
tennis court has also been added during
the summer, making five courts in all.
The dining room is beautifully decorated
in deep crimson and white, the school
colors.
improvements have also been made
on the bowling alleys, billiard room and
the ping pong parlor.
Prospects for good football team this
season are somewhat dim, although the
school has secured the services of one of
the best coachers in the country, in the
person of James G.. Lathrop. Mr.. La
throp, familiarly known in college ath-
letic circles as Jim" has coached the
Harvard track team for the past ten
years, and has helped in rounding out
the Harvard VARSITY" football eleven
for the past fifteen years. Of last year s
crack team, but two players, Kobbe and
johnson, will return. 1t is not known
whether there is any good material
among the new students, although Prit
cheet, who very successfully captained
the Brookliue High school in Connecti-
cut last fall, will be new man. Each
year the Morristown school has been
gaining wide reputation, and the pres
ent season will no doubt eclipse all
former ones.
Two new masters have been engaged
for the increasing work this year
George Matthew, a graduate of Colum-
bia, will teach German and music, and
Edward Ruby, Harvard graduate, will
of English. Mr.. Hutchins has resigned
to enter business in Boston.
The principals of the school are 7.
Quincy Brown, Jr., Arthur P. Butler,
and f q. Woodman. The masters who
have been re-engaged are A. DeMagnin,
c. G. Hoff, e. Ii. Courtney, Fl. w. Chap
man, Sherman Perry. Charles K Smith,
and F. A. Shinn. T. j. jackson, the
obIiging managing clerk will again look
after the affairs of the institution this
year.
Mr.. DeNIagnn and Mr.. Courtney have
just returned from Europe, where they
spent the summer.
Among the new rules made by the
faculty, is one forbidding the use OF auto
mobiles by scholars in the school.

MANY EVENTS AT GOLF CLUB.
Schedule of Matches-EarIy Tennis
Louis James to Play.

Miss Willis and W. D. Vanderpool
won the consolation cups in the ten
mis- tournament. In the first set Miss
Marion Swords and Fl. M. Walker are
matched to play Miss Alice Day and
William Shippen for finals.
An interesting episode among
tennis players was noted when on
Wednesday morning Miss Jane
Swords and Marmaduke Tilden, Jr.,
versus Miss Willis and W. D. Van
derpool, who were playing in the
finals for the consolation cups. The
contestants appeared on the court at
O'Clock Wednesday morning to
finish their match. play having been
stopped by darkness the previous
afternoon with one set to the credit
of each.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Van
derpool was obliged to be in New
York at an early hour Wednesday,
and in case the match was not
finished that morning, default would
have been made; hence the players
decided to finish before the s rs train
arrived at Convent Station. Play
was sharp and interesting, resulting
in the success of Miss Miller and
Mr.. Vanderpool.
The inter collegiate teams which
will play in the inter collegiate
championship October 81 are Prince
ton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia. Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Special interest will be added to

golf champion of the United States,
who will play on the Princeton team.
Max Behr has been selected as his
opponent.
