,.~a.ident OF the class of 1907, received
with Mrs Sands, wife of Rear Ad-
miral Sands, superintendent of the
Naval Academy.
There were twenty-five dances and
one extra. The pretty feature of the
non was the observance of the passing
out of the old year and the dawning
OF the new year. At i've minutes
before midnight one of the Naval
Academy bandsmen sounded tattoo, =
mi which time the dancing ceased.
There was then five minutes of silence,
after which TAPS" were sounded, and
the lights were extinguished.
At the conclusion of taps eight
Bells were struck by Miss Sands,
laughter of the superintendent. Miss
sands was accompanied by Midship-

Immediately after eight bells, reveille
was sounded and the lights were turn
cd on and the hop ended with Home,
Sweet Home" and ''The star Spangled

pleasing, and the dancers wended their
way homeward with exchange Of New

The Cotton Market.

For the past week the cotton market
has shown a tendency toward weak
ness and on several days the market
was entirely in the hands of the bears.
Our local market has held up remark
ably well under the pressure to bear
the market, and buyers have paid more
for spots than the condition of the mar
ket now justifies. With the advent of
October the mills realize that there is
likely to be heavy marketing for the
next ninety days, and opportunity will
be had to buy on a full market with
choice lots to pick from. With these
conditions, and by the aid of the bear
s%peculator, cotton, in our opinion, sold
now will bring more than at any time
between now and the first of Decem-
Der. The local buyers are paying to-
day Thursday from the wagons, III
to liz. New York futures closed
Wednesday at 1921 for October. New
Orleans spots at liz for middling.

The Baldwin Fair

The Journal hoped to be able to give
a full report Of the Baldwin fair which
closed lost week, but owing to circum-
stances that we could not control we
could not have a representative on the
ground.
From those who were in attendance,
we learn that the fair was eminently a
success and the stockholders and citi-
zens generally who lent their aid to
make the fair a success, deserve much
credit, The display of stock and farm
products was fine and it would make
n feel prouder of his county and state
to know that such stock was being
raised in it. We regret our inability to
be present SO that we could have given
our readers a full synopsis of the pro-
pram and a list of the winners OF the
prizes.

the Newark police yesterday TO close
his office at 1872 Market street, and to
quit that city. is well remembered in
Washington, where for a time he had

He established a branch office on +
