SKATERS WERE
OUT IN FORCE.
The Water Works Pond and Rar
itan Lake Were ThrOnged
Yesterday Afternoon.

That good old winter pastime, skat-
ing on natures ice. was enjoyed by
hundreds of young folks yesterday
afternoon, and they skated and played
hockey to their hearts content. The
major part of the crowd was at the
old water works pond at Englewood,
and many went to Raritan lake at
Keasbey. Most of the skaters were
school pupils and others who are en-
joying vacations this week. but many
another devotee of the steel wings
found time TO board a trolley car out
Smith street and go to the place
where the ice was strong and smooth
A large number went out last night
also, although there are no lighting
facilities provided, the moon giving
sufficient beams to add zest to the
sport.
The small boy who didn't have the
price of car fare or the ambition to
walk out to the large ponds, had his
fun on various small frozen surfaces
about town. Many youngsters skated
on the old Commons.

.M|DDLESEX STRICTLY Il
OUT OF 1T THIS YEAR
Republican Senate
Will Caucus
Tonight.
THE CONTES

TRENTON, Dec. 27:-For the pur-
pose of effecting organization, the fif-
teen republican members of the state
senate will caucus in the parlors OF
the republican CLUB, East Hanover
street, tonight
Senator Bloomfield Minch, OF Cunl-
berland county, and Senator Thomas.
j. Hillery, of Morris, are the only
candidates I'M the field for the senate
presidency, which issthe most imporr-
ant of the officers to be selected.
Present indicattons are that the Cunt
berland county man will land. Mr..
Minch bases his claim for the honor
on the fact oflhis seniority. He will
conclude his second term in the sen-
ate at the session ofs 1907, while Mr..
Hillery has vet to complete single
term Jlan
Besides a number of minor Offices
to be disposed OF. therei is also party
leader to be chosen at tonight's cau-
Gus. The only avowed candidate for
this post is Senator Edward s. Lee, OF
AtlanticA county NV
South Jersey will get away with all
the plums, according to present pros
poets, as the republican stronghold
is now in that section of the state.
Middlesex county has the distinc-
tion OF being strictly out OF 1t this
year. She has republican assembly
delegation where all the spoils are
divided among the democrats, they
being In the. ma ajority, and she has
democratic senator where all the
spoils are divided among the repub-
licans, that party being in the major
ity there. As result, Middlesex
gets nothing.
1t was understood, after the elec-
ton, that the democratic majority in
the assembly, having but six coun-
ties to care for, would recognize
Middlesex and reward her for elect
ing democraticg SENATOR This plan,
however, was soon killed when Sem
ator-elect Silzer manifested his In
dependence and refused to fall into
~ Essex ring"
is not believed that the United
tes senatorial situation will be
touched at tonights caucus as the
friends of Senator Dryden realize
that they have not the necessary
majority to win and they prefer to
delay matters in the hope of success
later on. H
