Free Inter State Bridges Urged

A recent number of the Newark
News contained the following, which
will be of interest to mnny of our
renders
The Delaware river IL apnnned

two cents toll IL levied for every foot
passenger, while twelve cents il
charged for horse aud wagon each

The two great States, one with 81,
600, 600 surplus IN It's TREASURY and
the other with practically unlimited
wealth, can afford To build bridges
and let their respective people uae
them free Of cost IN fuct they cannot
afford to do otherwise. II will bc re-
membered that with but one except

river, between Trenton aud Bolvidcre,

Then 1t was proposed 10 abolish toll
bridges as well ms toll roads, mud have

States ought to take them by pur-
chase or condemnation and utterly

BASE BALL.

Lambertville and Bangor PLAYED
game of base ball at Bcllidere ON
Wednesday afternoon last. The only
explanation for the playing of the
l.. \. c. is TINT they are not used to
playing ball in n cornfield.
We copy the following from Bet
vldere exchange:
The ball game in the afternoon be-
tween LnmbertvilIo and Bangor clubs
attracted largo crowd Ia the ball
field, who expected to see 10, "fneat
game ever played in ls5v;lere, ac-
cording to the announce aant The
contest was several points 'tort of the
Finest ever, and the blame belongs
to the -the-rivcr aggregation.
VIII ON we were led to believe were
top-notchers, as they put away the
strong Y. Nj. G \. team Of Trenton
last Saturday. Cook, of Trenton.
pitched for them and did fairly well,
but his support with few executions
was miserable. The Bangor team mn
held their reputation as wielders of
the stick and made many good, solid
drives, and their fielding was fast and
clean. The score was : to 4. The
hnmhertvillc team was certainly
greatly over-rnted in thus place. or else
they had decidedly OF dny which
comes to the best of them. Bangor
has won twelve straight games and
the sports of that town have become
very chesty and go good distance
around to find more victories for their
heavy team. Messers. Bedford and
Dawson were umpires aud distributed
favors imrartially between the two
teams.
