sHlPBulLDIHe BEGINS AGAIN.

Perth Amboy welcomes activity at the Nixon shpyard, in this city.
As told in yesterdays Evening News, actual work has started and a force
Of men. who formerly worked at the Crescent shipyard in Elizabeth, which
MI. Nixon owned before it went into the trust has been brought here and
given jobs. The prospect is that within a few days $50 men will be
employed.
* The Ramsay plant has had a rather checkered career since the late
Hugh Ramsay ceased building ships there. AT that time it was one of the
busiest places in town. The organization of the Perth Amboy Shipbuldng
and Engineering Company gave renewed hope, and, for a time, work was
brisk and the great steel ribs of vessels began to appear above the fence.
Then came the halt and there was little done after that until Tuesday,
w~e----SaseAaacs agan took up the work and the plant is in motion
again.
1t is rumored that the local plant is destined to become a center for
shipbulding under Mr.. Nixons management. This comes from an Eliza
beth man who is n a position to know something about the matter. All
Perth Amboy hopes til true. With $50 men employed within a few days,
al excellent start will have been made. There is room for twice that
many to find plenty to dc, if the contracts are Forthcoming. Every industry
counts one more in the growth of this city and when the new ones re in
the line Of shipbuldng it seems that Perth Amboy is really coming into its
own, for the building Of ships has been an industry here as long as the town
has existed. May the work increase and the plant grow. 1t has an excel
lent location. Perth Amboy will celebrate the first launching.

Just before the Relay Race the
Basket Ball Teams of the Insti-
tute and Lake Charles engaged
in an exciting game that attracted
almost the entire crowd. Both
teams were skillful and kept the
interest high. Miss McLaurin,
of the Institute umpired the first
half of the game and Prof. Gayle,
of Lake Charles, the second half.
The score was q to 8 in favor of
the Institute.
BASE BALL GAME.
The base ball game, owing to
the time consumed in other con-
tests, was begun very late.
Only. five innings were played,
but they were sufficient to show
that the Lake Charles team was
outclassed. The score was II to
9 in favor of the Institute.
EVENING.
A large audience assembled at
the Auditorium to listen to the
contest in oratory. There were
three schools represented; the
Institute by Miss Sallie Prosser,
Crowley High School by r. w.
Shultz, and the Lake Charles
High School by VIM. Braden.
The exercises were opened
with selection by the Institute
orchestra, Miss Prosser then
delivered fine address on Ma
tional Ideals, which showed
study, thought and originality.
She was followed by Mr.. Shultz
who spoke on Byron and Grecian
Liberty. He showed care and
preparation of his subject and
handled it in an interesting
manner. Mr.. Braden was last.
His subject was the Past, Present
and Future of the Louisiana
Territory Purchase. He began
with the early exploration of the
territory and rapidly sketched
the salient events in it's history,
using some vivid word painting
in portraying events and charac-
ters. Mr.. Braden showed con-
siderable training il delivery
which added to the effectiveness

Society which was well acted and
highly enjoyed. The Boys Glee
Club, of Lake Charles, then en-
tertained with a we'll rendered

to the fun of the evening with
some laughable ;)antOmimes from

Institute orchestra.

Mr.. b. l.. Lafargue ascended the
platform to announce their d.
