we are really to have a trolley road to

people will be delighted thereat.
But there are some parties who say that
the Public Service Company are not con
STRUGGLING the line according to the fran

Company of New Brunswick and under
which franchise the Public Service Com

themselves, OF account of their having
purchased the right and property Of said
M. and s. fraction Company. The franz
chise of the NJ. and s. Company calls for
the road to be laid in the middle Of the
street, while the Public Service Traction
Company are constructing it along the.

A WATERMELON CUT.
Miss Mile Hon Entertained Friends
In Merry style.

Miss Willie Hoff entertained a number
of friends at her home In John street,
Monday evening at = Watermelon Cut,
in honor of her guest. Miss LottIe Franz,
of Inwood on the Hudson. The time was
spent with music, singing and social
chat, until there was seen a fine looking
donkey leaning against the parlor door
and 1t was noticed that the donkey was
minus a tail, so 1t was decided that he
should have a candle a~ppendage and each
one of the guests should have the chance
OF giving him one; but they must be
bllndfolded first, swing around and then
walk up to the animal and pin a tail onto
him, no matter how hard he kicked
against 1t.
One after another was started and 1t
was fun to watch their manoeuvres
while trying to locate the ANIMAL, who
never brayed once, no matter how many
pins were stuck into him, for wasn't he
going to be given a Iran new a~ppendageY
Hilton Smith and Elwood Boice ran n
close race for fist prize, Elwood won and
received a pretty ink well. Miss Lottie
+ fhnZ duu WhibtF ibOkcfS were ABOUT even
for the BOBBY prize. In fact 1t was a little
in his, Walters favor as to distance, but
the prize was awarded to the lady and
she received a pretty tooth pick holder.
Next In order was the watermelon and
it was a fine, luscious melon when Gu {
aud would have made any poor darkey
$ mack his lips In anticipation of a big
treat. The table was set in the dining
room and on either end was a great dish
of melon, and other fruits and cake and
|lemoadade. The merry party sat down
to enjoy the feast and 1t goes without
saying that they certainly did ample JUS
|tiee to it. Among the invited guests from
out of town were Mrs. Franz and Lottie
Franz, from Innwood on the Hudson {;
