AVALON, May S1.--Anglers at Ava
lon are meeting with considerable sue
cess in taking white sea bass. IL was
feared for several days that the market
fishermen had diverted the fish out INTO
midchannel when they set their nets
from the shore near the cove at the
isthmus to Ship rock.
That many of the white sea bass or
the earlier part of the run were shunted
out and away from Santa Catalina
there can be no doubt.

breaking up the barrier of nets mas

OCEAN PARK, May 31.--There was
intense excitement along Pier avenue,
between the trolleyway and Main
street, last midnight when what was
virtually a raid was made upon Simons'
billiard parlor, one of the most con-
spicuous places of its kind on the ave-
nue..
Four men, frequenters Of the place,
were arrested first, and these after
ward turned the tables by swearing out
a complaint against Proprietor Simons
charging him with breaking the ordi-
nance against gambling.
There had been a disturbance In the
place earlier in the evening over a
game. it is alleged. Four young men,
two named West, another named Lentz
and a fourth named Mallett. were
charged with being implicated. They
went out for liquor, according to ST.
mons. and returned near midnight to
renew the wrangle. A serious quarrel
ensued and Officer Wood of the Santa
Monica police department was called
in. He arrested the four men and took
them to Santa Monica city Jail. They
were followed by a squad of friends and
were liberated on bail.
They then charged that Simons got
them into dice game, selling them
chips in such way that he had rake
off, no matter how the game went. 1t
was alleged by them that large sums
of money had changed hands In the
billiard parlors and that Simons openly
violated the Santa Monica laws. Simons
was arrested today and gave bonds for
his appearance in the Santa Monica
police court tomorrow.
Simons' friends say that the four
men against whom a charge only of
disturbing the peace has as yet been
made, must now acknowledge them
selves to be gamblers in order to Sc
cure the conviction of Simons. and they
have made their own situation ex-
tremely uncomfortable In their haste to
retaliate upon the billiard hall keeper
All the parties are we'll known In

HOME TALENT PLAY "HUNTERDON
COUNTY FAIR" TO BE GIVEN IN
lAMBERTvlulE.

The Guilds of st. Andrews Church
have at their business meeting decid-
ed by unanimous vote to take mp a
home talent play, entitled Hunterdon
County Fair. This play was written
by Annie Sara Book. "a West Virsin-
ian who has made the drilling and
producing of home talent plays II
speciality. This home talent play
Hunterdon Comfy Fair lIas been her
biggest aud most successful. Where
ever 1t has beeu given it has been an
immense success as it no doubt will
be in Eambertville.
The plan and plot of this play liz
very simple nothing but County
Fair scene with all manner of people
coming to the fair 1t will he n real
picture of the real old time County
Fair, with displays innumerable of
rice, yellow pumpkins. big potatoes,
immense squashes, monsirons ears of
yellow corn, red apples and any and
every kind of fruit aud vegetables
raised by the farmers of Hunterdon
County.
Not only will there be displays Of
these farm products, but the needle
work, machinery, aud handlwork Of
the thrifty inha bitauts of Hunterdon
County will also occupy eonsplcu
ons space.
While the displays above described
Fair yet the real interest Of this par
ticular Hunterdon County Fair is in
the dialogue of the visitors at the fair
and in the musical numbers to he pre-
sented As the scene opens the loud
mouthed faikers, lemonade mau, side
Snowman, balloon man will almost
deafen you with their mighty yels.
Then follows Il quick succession Of
farmers, old maids, school boys, Jock
eys, preachers, bride aud groom, gold
brick men, city visitors and all the
characters one can possibly imagine
at county fair, each with an appro-
pirate dialogue and conversation. All
these dialogues are of the most hum
orous nature and have life and
spirit to them that convulses aud
amnses even the most staid audience.
But after all, no amateur entertain
ment at this day and age can be a
success without plenty Of good lively
up to date music, and we will have it
at the County Fair. One of the big
musical features is Teddy Bear
chorus by 300 little girls, between the
ages of three and nine. It's one Of
the prettiest and cutest ever. There
will be another children's chorus and
six young men and young ladies'
choruses All of these are the latest,
catchiest song productions and are
presented in beautiful, attractive
manner.
The Guilds of St. Andrew have de-
cided to produce this entertainment
| Oct. 9Th. The committees have been
appointed for the various departments
| of the preliminary work. The best
talent o. the city will be invited and
there can be no doubt OF the fair be-
ing rousing success, as our talent.
we believe, is rather superior to that
| of the average town.
