BASS DRIVEN
OUT OF CANAL

Operations on the canal above town
continue to attract crowds OF people
daily, the big steam dredge being the
center of interest.
The dredging is completed from the
gas house, the upper boundary of the
hospital ground, to the culvert at the
entrance to the hospital, nearly one
half of the whole distance to be dredg-
ed. The work is being pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. The crew on
the dredge did not observe Labor day
but improved the time by pulling
mud out of the canal at the rate of
nearly hundred buoketfuls an hour.
By the end of this week, if nothing
causes delay. the dredging will be we'll
nigh completed.
In the upper section of the canal
there was a considerable quantity Of
water, which had lain there ever since
the canal was abandoned. When the
dredge began work it was necessary to
break the dam at the gas house. AS a
result great deal of the water drain
ed eastward reaching the river through
Toby run.
In the residue of water that remains
there are found to be large number
of fish. which no one ever dreamed be-
fore existed there The dredgimen have
a bucket with them in which may al
ways be seem some fine specimens OF
fish Not only are carp, &c, but also
black bass found in the canal.
Although the water in that part OF
the canal was always more or less i'm
pure, yet the bass seem to have thriv e
ed. Since the dredge has stirred up
the mud, however, those that remain
show discomfort.
The other day II. B. Schultz, stew
ard at the hospital, saw big black
bass. which acted very much as il il
we're out of It's element. The fish,
which was some sixteen inches in
length, was flouudering about in the
canal, occasionally leaping above the
surface of the water
In this connection it might be in.
teresting to note that many persons
incline TO the theory that the big
school of black bass seen at the river
bridge Sunday, August Both, and de-
scribed in these columns later, were
fish that had found their way ont Of
the canal above town. The peculiar
movements of the fish are attributed
I to their bewildered state caused by
their sudden transit from the narrow
and murky canal to the cool and ex
pansive river with its channels Of deeI
water.

Il. s. ALUMNI
HAD Big PICNIC

The alumni picnic and dance at De.
Wits park Friday was an unquaIi-
fled success. fulfilling all expectations
of the committee in charge.
The weather, as though doing its
best to help along the event, was per-
feet.
The crowd began to gather about 2
O'Clock, the hacks being kept in COM
mission continually from that time on,
depositing alumni and their friends
on the grounds. Besides those who
rode large number from Riverside
and South Danville walked to the
park. BY 6 O'Clock there were upwards
of $50 people on the grounds. mostly
alumni, enthusiastic over the oppor-
tunity afforded to again mingle with
former classmates and recall the in
cidents, pleasant and otherwise, of
school life. AS though drawn together
by the magnetic influence of old COM
Partnerships it was noticeable that here
and there all over the park were to be
seen the different classes in groups,
some, of the more recent years, large,
and others whose numbers during the
ten or twenty years that have elapsed
since their graduation had dwindled
to very few.
There was one exception, however,
that speaks we'll for the enthusiasm of
the older grads. The class of 80 had
a representation of five present and
many were the congratulations shower.
ed upon them from all sides.

the Ladies' Aid society of st. Peter
NJ. f. church. of Riverside, and t
quote one of those present who ough
to know. "There never was such
quantity and quality served for sucl
a small amount. "
A half hour after supper, between
and 30 O'Clock, was occupied by al
entertainment on the pavilion consist
ing Of monologues, solos, instrumental
music, etc. The continued applaus
which greeted each number testifie,
to the thorough enjoyment OF the audi
ence. After that there was more dane
ing which continued until about II .3
o. clock, when tired but filled to over
flowing with the pIeasurable memorie
of the outing, the crowd sought thei
