y s WANT THE
DATE OF CARNIVAL
CHANGED TO SEPT. Z.
Meeting Held Raran Yacht CLUB House Last Mqh-Much Inter-
est ManfestedSuccess of the Fete Assured Lists Gwen
Out for Collecting MoneyMuch Promsed.Many Subjects
Discussed and Citizens Make Recommendations.

The carnival committee met re-
preventative body of citizens at the
Raritan Yacht Club house last night.
The meeting was called to hear any
suggestions that the citizens might
make as to ways and means of carry
ing on the fete. The discussion last
&c until 10 O'Clock at the close of
which, several committees had
been appointed, subscription blanks
had been distributed and this morn
ing the actual work of the carnival
has begun.
In the absence of Mayor Seaman,
Nathaniel Pierce was chosen chair
man Among the subjects discussed
were the change of date for the car
nival, postponement in case of rain
on the night selected, matter of re-
porting collections to the treasurer,
number of classes for boats entered
and prizes to be offered. Although
the general committee had announced
that the carnival would be held Sep
tember s, it has since been found that
the election primaries will be held on
that night, and objection to holding
the fete then has been raised. 1t was
pointed out last night that it was
necessary to hold the carnival at high
tide. No ope wanted to have it on the
ninth as that is the date in New
Brunswick. The seventh is Labor Day
and the tenth would be too late as the
tide Is not high then until about II
O'Clock. There was some hesitation
about holding the carnival on Labor
Day, but as it seemed the only avail
able time the citizens recommended
that that date be chosen. 1t was also
recommended that if It stormed on
Monday to hold. the carnival on
Thursday following. 1t is for the
general committee to definitely decide
these matters.
The important matter of collections
received much consideration. 1t is
the desire of the citizens that the
names of those contributing to the
fund be published and to insure a
steady growth in the amounts made
public, the collectors will turn over to
TIE treasurer the amount he has col
lected at least twice every week. 1t
was stated that no names should be
published until the cash was turned
over.
The citizens thought four classes
sufficient for the awarding of prizes.
These to be sloops and cat boats, cabin
launches. open launches and row
boats, and boats entered by societies

John Stohlmeyer, POtOsi Farmer,
Taken back to Mendoza.

An attendant from Mendoza hos
pital had an exciting chase Satur-
day in the woods about Potosi for
John Stohlmeyer, an inmate of the
above named hospital until recently
when he was allowed to come home
on a furlough, his relatives believ-
ing that he was again in possession
of his right mind
The patient had been in his old
haunts but a few days, however,
when signs of Insanity again became
noticeable and the family reluctant
ly advised the hospital management
to again come for him.
The attendant arrived Friday and
went for his charge Saturday.
Stohlmeyer was sitting in his home
brooding over some hallucination
when the Official arrived, and inn
mediately made hasty retreat out
of a rear door and took to the woods
He was lost sight of before capture
was made and it was not until in
the afternoon that he was taken in
custody, and then only after fierce
struggle.
The party came to Lancaster and
the patient was detained at the
county Jail untilISunday's outbound
train, when he was returned to the
hospital.
The attendant informed Herald
representative that physicians at the
hospital were 10th about allowing
Stohlmeyer to.depart at time of his
release, fearing that his improved
condition was but temporary and
desiring to keep him in treatment
for month longer. But he pleaded
SO strongly and his relations were so
anxious to have him return home
that they finally acquiesced.
