The area in which a bumper crop of small

stroyed by hail may be defined as bounded
by line drawn from Chamberlain north

est parasols were opened and placed
so as to form a covering for two of
the booths. \Guttman orchestra was
seated on the porch and played
throughout the evening
That the affair WAS successful from
financial point of view may be
judged from the fact that at an early
hour the tables were nearly sold out,
and before the festival was over, were
empty. The ladies of the parish had
worked hard to make the festival a
success from every point of view and
they succeeded admirably.
At the Japanese booth were found

The first official inspection of the
new Raritan river bridge was made
yesterday afternoon by the Board of
Freeholders. At the time of the or
ganization of the board last May, a
committee on the bridge was appoint.
ed by Director Fountain, which was
to be composed of all the members
and yesterday was the first time they
had come together for the purpose of
inspection. The Freeholders met
about 2 O'Clock at Michael Welsh S
hotel in South Amboy, There the
members took stage which had been
kept waiting, and started for the
approach to the new structure. When
they reached the railroad crossing,
those in the stage were Joined by four
or five more.
Mr.. Sanford, the senior member of
the firm which is building the bridge,
the Sanford & Harris Co., was on
hand and he went about with the
members of the board, explaining in
detail the various parts of the work.
Several of the board spoke dubiously
, concerning several planks at different
joints in the flooring of the bridge,
questioning the good quality of the
wood. Mr.. Sanford said that they
were not laying the planks with an
eye to looks, but in desire to have
each stick last as long as possible.
The timber, he stated, is Georgia
pine, but not what is termed ''clear."
Mr. Sanford explained that enough
clear timber for this contract could
not be procured within the State of
Georgia, and that therefore some of
the sticks were liable to show the
marks, which are not to be seen in
clear pine.
After carefully going over the part
which has been constructed on the
south side, more than nne-third the
distance across, the officials boarded
power boat from which they were
transferred to the tugboat IS. E.
Sprague. = Aboard the tug they cross
ed the river, looked at the construc-
tion of the pier, and saw the extent of
the bridge now constructed, which
will connect with the draw, but which
is still a great distance from the
finished part on the south side. No
part of the structure is vet entirely
completed, but most of the piles are
driven, the beams placed in position,
and the planking laid. The members
also saw diver come up from the
bottom of the liver where he had
been placing the stone for the piers
in position.
The tug. with the Freeholders still
aboard, then steamed up to the docks
of the International Clay Company
where the contractors are building
the caissons for the concrete to be
used in building the piers A number
of the officials climbed to the top of
one of the two caissons and observed
the method of construction. They
then looked over the iron material on
hand, which lies near the wharf,
alongside of the railroad tracks.
: The Freeholders, accompanied BY
several members of the Board of
Aldermen, whom they met at the
bridge, next proceeded to Sheridan
street, where the approach on this
side is to be, and, after talking for
some time about the approach, they
separated, some returning to South
Amboy by the boat, and the others
coming to the Central station, and
taking the train from there.
Speaking with reporter, Mr.. San
s ford stated, among other facts, that

EUROPEAN UNION NECESSARY.
Significant Speech of an italian Law,
maker.

Rome, April Ex-senator Villari, in
an address delivered before the king
and queen at the opening of the inter
national historical congress. made sew
eral illusions to the United States. He
said Europe was shut in between two
great powerful countries, Russia on
the east and the United States on the
west The latter, from a population
of 30,000O00, had risen to S0000,000.
and no one knew what number it's
population eventually would reach.
The United States also had taken the
lead in all the works of progress and
civilization. These two forces, acting
on Europe, were likely to render neces-
sary a union of the different Eurouean
countries which would completely
change the geographical situation to
the universal advantage of Europe.
The senator added that he foresaw and
predicted the Twentieth century will
perhaps see the solution of many prob
lens.
"The mixing of the white and black
races" he continued, brought about
the war of secession in the United
States and the liberation of the ne
harmoniZed or amalgamated the two
races, which hate each other now per-
haps more than ever before.

the first to give an indication how to
deal with such grave and important
