zIONISTS AT
BIG MEETING.
Subject Discussed by Prominent
Speakers in Temple Beth Nor
deCai Yesterday.

The Zionists, of this city, held an
enthusiastic meeting in the temple
Beth Mordecai yesterday afternoon.
A. H. Simon, of New York, and MIR.
Jacob Massel, of Glasgow, Scotland,
addressed the meeting.
Mr.. Simon said among other things
zionism is the ideal for which we
have been striving for ages. 1t is the
cry of a race seeking a return to its
ancient heritage. 1t is demand for
a national status among the people of
the earth. Too long have we been
buffeted and kicked by every waving
tide of prejudice in every land. I"
He also appealed for the establish
ment of we'll lighted, airy school
rooms in connection wherein Hebrew
and Jewish history could be taught.

oh, The FISH
STORIES TOLD!
Every Boat That Could Be Hired
Was on the Bay Yesterday
Brave Fishermen Tell Tales.
NO ONE CLAIMS 100.

The weak fish still continue to bite,
and yesterday the crowds who were
out got number of blue fish which
seem to be biting fairly good. The
wind was pretty strong yesterday and
with an incoming tide it was rather
difficult to keep the boat at anchor
but the sport was great.
On Saturday afternoon Charles @.
Traphagen, of Madison avenue, and
Lew Morris went out and brought
back sixty-four weakfish and two blue
fish. Yesterday Peter Rasmussen
and William Sandbeck tried their luck
and got forty weakfish and ten
blue fish. A party of three from
Newark came down to the foot of
Madison avenue yesterday morning.
They hired boat and when they
came back at 5 O'Clock last night they
had seventy mine weakfsh and ten
bluefish.
Everywhere one could see both
with the naked eye or with marine
glasses the bay was crowded with
crafts of all kinds and with the fisher
men. Crabs and eels seem to be very
plentiful this year also. Yesterday
Edward Peters got number of crabs.

Ancient Order Of Heavyweight
Knockers Had Another Delight
full Outing at Florida Grove.

"Come, get out your hammers, boys
And hammer with a will;
We always have been knockers, boys,
And we are Knockers still.
The Ancient Order of Heavy Weight
Knockers held clambake at Florida
Grove Saturday evening, and from all
accounts, had the biggest time in their
history. About fifty of the honorable
members and their friends were pres
ent and they kept things on the go
from 8 O'Clock, when the first bake
was served, until the late hour at
which the affair broke up. The first
bake was followed by second one at
10 o'clock, the latter being for the
benefit of those who were detained in
town by business Aside from the
bake itself little need be said. Those
in charge had provided 1900 CLANS
and everything that goes with them,
and the way they disappeared speaks
volumes for the competency of the
providers.
Electric lights were put in for the
occasion and the grove presented a
lively appearance Music was Oh

The Marions won from the Equit

Hopper was hit easily by the locals.
McPhillips pitched gilt.edged game
and in the first six innings allowed
only two hits. He was not so effec.

The visitors accorded their slat
artist poor support, rolling up five
errors behind him and the south paw
himself contributed three, making a
total of eight blunders. Tierney dis
tinguished himself by his work with
the willow, knocking out three safeties
out of four times at bat and was the
only one of the insurance men who
could hit McPhillips with any degree
of safety. One of the game s features
was double play by Kiernan and
Hoffner which was the nearest ap-
proach to a triple play ever seen on
the local grounds.
Next Saturday Kid Carsey will be

SWAN ACROSS RIVER
AT THE DRAWBRIDGE.
John Drift in the Water for Fort-fve Minutes With T Roo;oo
in Current was Strong and Wind Kicked UO Quite a SsoDe
ciGred tia Hard Swim and Tired when He Got 7brOuch

Yesterday morning John Drift. a
well known and popular young man
OF this city, went for a swim with a
number of friends They proceeded
to the Central Railroad bridge at the
foot of South Second street. Before
they entered the water a discussion
arose about who could swim from this
side of the river to South Amboy.
Drift said he could do it, and the
crowd dared him.
1t was just 10 o'clock when he
started. The tide and wind was
against him, the tide running in very
fast. Drift made up his mind to 90
over. He reached the middle of the
drawbridge, where the water was q
little calmer and passed before two
excursion barges which we're being
towed down the stream by tug, went
through.
The tug boat captain spied him and
gave shrill salute Of his whistle.
When the crowd on the boats saw
what was up they cheered him on and
encouraged the swimmer to stick it
out.

lowed along the bridge and when
