gether with the names of their boat
and the entry fee of fifty cents to
Commodore Evans of the Raritan
Yacht Club. All entries must be in
by July /.
The Raritan Yacht Club course over
which the boat race is to be held is
from buoy off the club house in
Staten Island sound to stake boat off
South Amboy, thence around a buoy
a short distance east of the lighthouse,
thence back to the buoy off the club
house. Turning the boats double the
course just made, turning the light
house buoy and the stake boat off
South Amboy to the buoy off the club
house and then around the light house
and back to the starting point.
This course just completes ten miles
and should be completed by the power
boats within an hour and q half at
the longest. The members of the
yacht club are busy making all pre-
parations for the race and say it will
be great success.
The fact that some of the fastest
boats in this vicinity will take part
makes it interesting.
The committee wants it thoroughly
understood that no matter how small
a boat nor how slow an engine all
can enter because time will be allowed.

BRIDGE APPROACH
MAY COST CITY
$4,000 TO BUILD.
Sheridan Street at this Time open Gully and There is no Te
ing How Long viii Take to FIJI --AIdenmen wH PSObd6Jy
Look INTO the Matter at Once--A Hard Problem

No move has yet been made on the
part of the city to build an approach
to the new Raritan river bridge which
If completed, when the contractors
say it will be done, will leave Perth
Amboy as well as the Raritan Trac-
tion Company in as bad q fix as IL
there was no bridge. If this happens,
as some of the wise ones predict,
Perth Amboy will be the laughing
stock of the whole county, which is
building the bridge, and the whole
State for that matter.
The franchise, as granted by the
city fathers last wear to the Raritan
Traction Company for the paltry sum
of 5000, calls for a track to be laid
through Sheridan street, which at
this time is mere gulley. This land
was donated to the city by the Honor
able Cortlandt Parker. The cost of
filling in this gully, which extends
from Market street to the river, has
been estimated by various people at
anv where from $780, to a quarter
of a million dollars. This, it must be
understood, is mere estimate of Just
what it will cost the city with abso-
lutely no idea as to where the money
would come from to do it with.
The Board of Aldermen, so far as is
known, have given the matter little
attention thus far except to receive
some time ago, letter of complaint
from the Oheeseborough Company
against the proposed dumping OF gar
bage in the gully. The Evening News
has called attention to the approach,
but no action was taken In DION
Since the franchis5 = grantss =
the Raritan Traction hpany last
year, things have chSErcMA consider
ably. Mr.. j. O. Mccoy, as head OF
the traction company, 1t is said, has
purchased that portion of land facing
OH Sheridan street and north Of the
Cheeseborough plant, no doubt to
thwart the efforts of those who have
held his company up with an injunc-
tion and incidentally prevent another
company from getting to the bridge.
Where all the dirt to fill in this big
gulch would come from unless il be
garbage either from this city or New
York, is another problem. Another
will be the bridging Of the Central
Railroad which crosses at q point
where unknown quantities of dirt will
have to be used on account of the deep
swamp. The expense Of building the
bridge over the railroad, however,
may be put on the railroad company
provided the city decides to Hll in the
gully and establishes a grade which
goes over their road.
Another way which would doubtless
cost less money, is to build the
approach from Sherman street across
some of the property Of Mr.. MCCOY
and perhaps some of the Oheesebor
ough plant and thence to the bridge,
which at this end is twenty feet above
high water mark. Even this way the
Central Railroad would have to be
bridged and some filing in have to be
done, but according to the News in
formant it would be cheaper.
1t is quite likely that committee
of tine Board of Aldermen will look
over the situation in the near future
with view of solving this knotty
problem.

BREMEN. April 15.-Home Secretary
Won PosadowskyWehn to-day formally
opened the International Anti-alcohol Con-
gress. In his speech he pointed out that
the increased mental and physical strain
occasioned by the growth of civilization
was apt to lead to excessive indulgence in
drink. Legislation could only lend ma
chanical aid to the temperance movement.
The real remedy must come from a higher
sense OF morality on the part OF the peo-
pie, which, however, need not interfere
with enjoyment OF life.
Prof. Segrain. of Paris. said the use of
alcohol predisposes the human system to
tuberculosis and also prevents the cure of

cases which create those conditions which
are best fitted for the ravages of tuber-
cuosis.
DIR. Daumm claimed that the expert
ments of DIR. Cheauvam made to show that
alcohol, even in small doses. was poisonous

Nevertheless, he added, indulgence In al
