SEASON is POOR.
Guantrs Say the Game Is Scarce and there
Is Little Sport He eabouts.

Hunters are now unanimous in their
complaint that the present season is
the poorest one for partridge, wood
cock, quail and rabbits in many
years. In the early part of the season
the woods of this city and surround
ing towns was filled with hunters. 1t
was thought That the game would be
plentiful, but after the first day or
so, it seemed to disappear. The first
storm of the season is given by many
hunters who have been out, and had
poor LUCK, as the reason for the non
appearance of the game. The Danish
Social A. O., the Ford's Gun Club,
and a number of local gunners expect
to try their luck again before the
closing of the. season.

SKATING SEASON
AT RARITAN LAKE.
Sign on the Trolley Cars AUnounc
ing that Ice is Good Repairs
Being Made.

The red ball is on the trolley cars
for the first time this season. The
recent cold snap has caused the form
ing of about four inches of good ice
on Raritan Lake and q largo number
of devoteos are. already enjoying the
sport.
The breaking of the dam during the
severe rainstorm completely drained
the big pond and although the skating
area is large at present, it is made
smaller than last year. The township
committee have a force of men at
work laying n sluioe pipe which will
not only take off all the extra water,
but will allow the lake to be much
larger than it is at present.
Last year the Traction company had
n bad year at the lake. A house was
built for the protection of skaters and
lights were put mp. The skating was
poor and few skated. This season
moro are expected. Superintendent
Rock has a gang at work putting up
lights and repairing the house.
