EMMA B. TO
HAVE A RIVAL.
Another Yacht 10 be Built to Garry
People to Fishing Banks
from Asbury Park.

The schooner yacht Emma B.,
which has done such faithful service
off AsbuIy Park every summer and
which always winters at Tottenville,
is to have a rival next summer. Hero
is what the Asbury Park Press says
about it:
"Uaptain H. f. Pierce, of Belmar,
announces his intention to build n
handsome new passenger yacht to be
operated from Asbuly Park next sea-
son. The vessel Captain Pierce pro-
poses to construct will be about 100
feet long--25 feet longer than the
Emma Band will be first class
throughout. The cost will approach
close to $1,000.
Captain Pierce's intention was
made known to the Public Grounds
commission last night. The captain
wanted to know first, however, upon
what terms he could land at the As
bury Park pier, and whether the
commission would provide landing
steps on each side of the pier. He
proposes to take passengers to the
yacht in q motorboat. which will be
safer and quicker than the present
method of rowing through the SURF.
TThe commission agreed to provide
the landing steps and gave Captain
Pierce thirty days in which to decide
whether or not he would accept the
privilege at a rental of $3.50 a year
for three years, with the proviso of
being moved if any other arrange
ments. should be made regarding the
pier before the expiration of his lease.
"Captain Pierce said he would be
able to give a definite answer inside
the time allowed. Asked what name
he proposed to give the new yacht, he
replied:
II have mot yet decided, but l think
it ought to be 'Asbury Park. The
commissioner agreed with him.

READNILLE, Mass, Sept. INA
ior Delmar failed by three-quarters of
Il second to beat the unpaced trotting
record at the Readville track, princl-
pally by reason of a somewhat heavy
track and Il stiff breeze that sprang
up suddenly after the horse had start
ed. When the son of Del Mar reached
the three-quarters pole in / minute
3OH seconds it looked as if the record
would go, but the breeze and track

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-SeveNl i'm
portant questions were settled by the
visit of Judge Alton B. Parker to New
York and his conference with Demo
cratic leaders. 1t was determined that
Senator German should have an active
place in the campaign, but that Chair

The conference of Tammany leaders
with Judge Parker resulted in the set
Element of differences in Greater New
York so far as they relate to national
and state issues.
The selection of a temporary chair
man of the Democratic state conven-
ton was made, and his name will be
officially announced by Chairman
Sheehan of the national executive COM
mittee today. The governorship and
other state offices were discussed, but
it was stated that nothing definite as
to the selection of candidates will be
determined until next week at Sara
toga. Another matter left open is
whether or not Judge Parker will make
a series OF speeches during the cam
paign. Other conferences will probably
be held next week before Judge Par

lie.
Judge Parker returned to Esopus on
a West Shore train early in the even
ing. Just before Judge Parker
started for Esopus he had his second
conference within a few hours with
Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall. The interview was fol-
lowed by a formal declaration on the
part of Judge Parker that he is jul
bilant over the outlook for his election
and that all is harmony in the Empire
State.
So pronounced is the harmony, so far
as local political affairs so, that Sena-

William A. Doyle, who has been fight

Charles f. Murphy will attend ''if his
health permits and Bourke Cochran
is to make the principal speech. Mr..
Cochran is to be Tammany's star ora

Whitney, grandsons of Colonel Hes
ton, continued for forty-two years, from
1910 to 1882, when it was dissolved by
the death OF Thomas H. Whitney and
the retirement of Samuel A. Whitney,
and a new firm under the same name
was formed by John P Whitney and
Thomas w. Synnott, great-grandsons of
Colonel Heston, just one hundred
years after Colonel Heston purchased
the original furnace. They carried on
the business as Whitney Brothers I'M

the surrounding country The large
tracts of woodland that WIRE cleared
in the early days when God was
the only fuel used. were cons erted into
farms and this aided in the develop
ment of.this section of the &C nty. The
increasing number of employees also
furnished a market for the products
of the farms
In 1856 anthracite coal was first used
as fuel in the glass business. It was
brought by boat to Carpenters Land
ing (now MANUAL, and hauled by team
to Glassboro The product to the fac
tories was sent to Philadelphia by
teams which crossed the river at the
Red Bank Ferry.
In 1861 the West Jersey Railroad
was completed to Glassboro thus af-
fording the needed facilities for receiv-
ing material and shipping the manu-
featured goods
After using anthracite coal for a
few years bituminous coal came into
use for fuel and this is the principal
fuel now used in melting glass in this
section of the country. Oil has been
more or less used in recent years but
the present high price bars it's use.
The furnaces at Glassboro We're for
many years the only glass furnaces in
the United States and until about the
year 1925 the bulk Of the glass made
in this country was made in what is
now the First Congressional District
of New Jersey, since which time the
industry has become widespread.
