Senator Thomas ]. Hillery, of Nor
ris, was one of the most sought after
men at Saturdays outing. He was
full of bright talk, and had a chip on
his shoulder for any one who ques-
toned the solid character of the reg
ulars in his county. His friends were
convinced he would do Colby up with
the first blow in the coming proposed
debate. A keen old observer who lis
tened to some of the gossip quietly
remarked:
"Unless Hillery gets to work pref
ty soon on the investigation he was
ordered to conduct Colby will end the
debate with n question. The public
does not care half as much about the
investigation and why it is delayed.
A reply about being busy and the like
will not prove a satisfactory answer"
Wakelee Says He's Ready.
Senator Wakelee, of Bergen, the
second member of the investigation
committee, was one of the guests. He
said h had been SO busy that he had
not even had time to follow the Colby
movement or attend the successful
meeting at Hackensack on Friday
night. Whenever Hillery called the
committee to order, however, he
would respond. Senator Minturn. of
Hudson, the third member of the
committee, did not appear, although
expected. Of the seven democratic
members of the legislature, none of
the senators attended, and Holcombe,
of Hunterdon, was the only Assem-
blyman. He was the lone fisherman
on the trip.
There is general rejoicing that the
governor has finally begun appoint
ing members of the various county
boards of equalization. With three
counties disposed of on Saturday, and
a promise that more will follow from
time to time, the task ought to be
finished without much further delay.
A good deal of interest attaches to
the attitude of General Edward Burd
Grub in the coming campaign. AS
the train was approaching Edgewat-
er Park Saturday half a dozen of the
guests expressed a wish to see Gen
eral Grubb's home. 1t is hidden in
the trees at this time of the year but
Speaker Robbins pointed out its To-
cation, and then a bit of political
gossip was given out. 1t was to the
effect that Grubb's friends want to
elect him to congress next fall to
succeed John j. Gardner, while Rob
bins is slated to become State Sena-
tor from Burlington to succeed Sena-
tor Horner.
Of course, George L. Record came
in for the share of discussion that at
tends the mention of his name NY
where these days. He was named in
the Gridiron song, he was the subject
of a cartoon and piem which were
distributed, and he was toasted and
roasted off and on, with the roasts
prevailing. There was one opinion
that seemed to be universally approx
ed, namely, that Record was kicking
up a heap of dust right at the begin
ming of the campaign.

Anatomy of an Oyster.

To discover the heart of an oyster
the fold of flesh which oystermen call
the mantle" must be removed. This
Is fatal to the oyster, of course, but In
the interest of science and for the ben
eft Of the curious" 1t is occasionally
done When the mantle has been re-
moved the heart, shaped like cres-
cent or horned moon, is laid to the
view. The oysters heart is made up
of two parts, just like that of a hui
man being, one of which receives the
blood from the gills, and the other
drives 1t out through the arteries. The
liver is found in the immediate vicin-
tty of the heart and stomach and Is a
queer shaped little organ, which is
supposed to perform all the functions
of blood filter. Every oyster has a
mouth, heart, liver, stomach and
other necessary internal organs, In
Guiding set of cunningly devised In
testines. The mouth is at the small
end of the oysters body, near the
hinge of the shell. 1t is oval in shape,
and. though not readily discovered by
an uHpracuceu eye, IL may De easily
located by gently pushing a blunt bod
kin or similar instrument along the
folds of the surface of the body at the
place mentioned. Connected with the
mouth is the canal which the oyster
uses in conveying food to the stomach,
from whence it passes into the curious
