Says He Is Studying the CUndi-
tiOns Of the Atlantic During
Month of June.
MOTOR BOATS CONE TO STAY.
II is Probable that His Craft will be
Built at His Yard I'm This City
Race to be From New York to
Bermuda next SumIner-Many
Power Boats Are Being Built for
Those who Will Take Part In Event

Lewis Nixon was asked yesterday
If he had started to build his motor
boat which he intends shall take part
in the race from New York to Ber-
muda next summer or, IL he had not
yet commenced it's construction, If he
would allow the plans of the craft to
be published.
Mr.. NiXon's reply was: While
am more than willing as rule to
give out such information. am look
ing forward to so much valuable and
useful data being obtained as the re-
suit of this ocean contest, | am anx-
ious to see the types of the competing
craft as varied as possible, and hence
shall not give out the details of the
boat | shall race down in until later.
while perfectly safe on properly
built boat the trip even in June will
not be picnic and as the rules under
which the rating of the craft will be
calculated seem very fair 1t is liable
to be a close race If smooth all the
way But if 1t is rough-and it
sometimes is so between here and
Bermuda-it may not be so close.
Hence | am studying the prevailing
June conditions of the weather be-,
ioIc ueClulHB upon SeNeTdl lSutdltNC
designs | have prepared.
Stimulating interest in motor
boats, such as this ocean race will
accomplish, is genuine public SER
vice. These boats have spread so
rapidly and to such an extent 1t is
almost startling. There is hardly a
stream, lake or bay without them. |
have seen an old fisherman who
would shrink from touching a steam
engine gravely examining a sparkling
plug and quickly locating the trouble
in a balky motor.
THE splendid work done by mot
ors in lifeboats has vastly increased
the efficiency of the life saving SER
vice.
THE time will soon come when
handling a motor will be knowledge
as universal as handling a sail.''
The third and fourth of the motor
boats built by Mr.. Nixon and sent to
Santo Domingo have about reached
their destination.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:

TRENTON, Dec. 19:-The annual
report of the New Jersey State col
lege at Rutgers in New Brunswick,
has been submitted to Governor
Stokes. The document is a lengthy
one detailing the technical work in
agricultural arts which is pursued at
this institution. The report is of
special interest to Perth Amboy be-
cause it deals with the department of
clay working and ceramics. In re-
porting on this department Cullen W.
Parmelee says that there is growing
demand for graduates of the course
in ceramics. During the past year
there have been requests for men, re-
quests which, however, were not met,
solely because all the graduates of
the department were already engag-
ed. Mr.. Parmelee says: "Such re-
quests from manufacturers may be
interpreted as surest evidence of the
value of scientific training In cera-
mics. Although new profession in
this country, development of the
past ten years, yet everywhere we
find progressive managers of clay
working industries taking into their
employ young men especially trained
to attack the problems of this indus
try"
Hav Thirty instructors.
The report of the State Board of
Visitors shows that during the year
past the corps of instructors num-
bered thirty, and that the enrolment
for the year was 1872.
Under the head of condition and
progress the report notes that New
Jersey has paid the college $27,600
for services rendered under the schol-
arship act of 1890 during the colleg-
late years 1902 and 1903, 1903 and
1904, 1904 and 1905; and $4,000
appropriated for the Adjustment of
short courses in agriculture. The re-
quisite land for these courses has
been acquired by gift and by pur-
chase, contracts for buildings have
been made, and it is expected that the
courses will be formally inaugurated
in January, 1907. The report also
shows that the plans for the en-
largement of the facilities for in
struction in the departments of civil
engineering and electricity are near
ly concluded
The financial report of the clay
working department of the college
for the fiscal year ending October 81
last, shows that the receipts from the
state treasurer, as per the appropria-
ton, were $500.

About two weeks ago John White,
a farmer living three miles east of

positively as a man who had worked
with him a few days during the harvest

fed Marshal Ringlaud of Killarney, who
made the arrest. He would give no
name. but admitted that he stole the
horse and rig and sold them near Devils
Lake for 500 He was then brought to
Snowflake for preliminary trial, and
pleading guilty, was committed to Nor
den Jail to await trial at the fall a~ssizes
in November. The same character was
in Hannah and tried to pass a forged
check, but failed.

from Devils Lake with the horse, buggy
and harness. The thief sold the horse
and buggy for 800 and the harness to
another party for IS.

1t will be welcome news to many
theatre goers in the city, the announce
ment that the famous play of Goeth's
immortal "Faust" will be presented here
on Wednesday Oct 3lst at the Opera
House in Langdon by the Porter j.
White Co. No play written in many
years has retained such a hold on the
hearts of the public. 1t has proved to
be better than the book. For while the
play has steadily held its popularity, the
book is o almost forgotten. 1t was
revived in New York City last spring
and actually drew larger audiences
than it did at the presentation of the
original production years and years ago.
This great play will continue to enter.
tain as long as we have laughter to re,
ward wit, tears for the sorrowful, and
sympathy for the fallen. 1t is still as
fresh as the newly minted coin and has
the tizz OF the sparkling champagne.

ANY man belonging to a political
party is doing right to vote with his
party when it is right-but not other
wise. In 1896 a large number of demo-
Gratis were persuaded that free silver
was dangerous expedient for this coun-
try to adopt, and they voted for Nc
kinley, the republican nominee, as
against their own party candidate, Mr..
Bryan. In 1900 a considerable number
again voted for Mckinley. In 1904 an
extremely large number voted for Roose-
welt, upon his record as a man and
statesman. In each instance the masses
of the people expressed their idea of
trying to do right. In this state the
republican machine, having secured and
held control of the party, has detied and
is defying public sentiment, and feels
confident that, irrespective of the candl-
dates it dominates, and no matter how
these nominations are made, it can force
the voters into line by the cry of loyalty
to party when it simply means loyalty
to the machine. Following the machine
does o mean supporting republican
principles for the sake of plumber. Mr..
Voter, are you going to the polls for the
machine, or are you going to the polls to
cast an independent vote for the good of
the state, and according to the dictates
of a good conscience? You must answer
in November.-FaIgo S~earchiight.
