For a Speedway.

Philadelphia capitalists under the title
of the Hanover Consolidated Company OF
New Jersey have acquired 10000 acres OF
land in Burlington and Ocean counties and
have decided to build an automobile
speedway 20 miles long and 100 feet wide
which is intended to be the finest automo-
bile racing course in the world. The club
house, garage and other necessary inn
provements will cost about $500. 900.
The track will be equal distance between
New York and Philadelphia and in direct
communication with Cape May, Long
Branch, Atlantic City and other seashor'
resorts. One portion of the track will
adioin Browns Mills in the Pines, anc
from there it will run on to about IL milei
south of Lakewood.
One advantageous feature Of the loca
ton is that the property to be used for thu
speedway is bordered by pine forests il
such manner as to almost completely de
stroy the effects of head winds.
Hotels are to be erected along the speed
way and the plans call for the damminl
of certain streams running through tn
property for the purpose of creating lake
in order to beautify the site.
The officers of the Hanover Compan.
are: President, William II. Vile; Vic
President, John P. Harlan; Treasurer, E

Wanta to cat loose.

The citizens of New Egypt, Cassville
and Lakewood are indignant over the
treatment they have received at the hands
of the Ocean county Board OF Freeholders
which has refused to take any action in
the matter of building stone or gravel
road through New Egypt toward. Lake
wood. Over year ago this road was
turned down on the promise to make an
appropriation the next autumn, and when
the fall of 1907 came around a body of in
fiuential citizens from here met the Board
at Toms River and secured the pledge of
all its members to build the proposed road
this spring. Following this action, the
Board Immediately began work on road
from Lakehurst to Lakewood, which was
not urgently needed. Now they have de-
cided in favor of building road along the
beach.
That this is direct injustice is felt by
everyone. In consequence, there is much
talk among the business men of making
an appeal to the Legislature to have New
Egypt set over in Burlington county, as it
is situated almost on the line, and very
convenient to Mount Holly.

1.-THE Prisoner of Zenda," one of the
most picturesque of the modern romantic
dramas, will be played this week by the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut street
theatre, Philadelphia. The play is the
adaptation of Edward E. Rose, from the
widely-read novel of the same title by
Anthony Hope. and some years ago was
successfully presented by II. Sothern
and James e. Hackett. 1t is q stirring
drama, filled with life and action and re-
plete with scenes that are thrilling, If not
sensational. THE Prisoner of Zenda" is
in four acts and prologue and adheres
closely to the story OF the book. 1t con
Germs chiefly the adventures of young
Englishman, Rudolph Rassendyll, in Ru-
ritania, e fictitious country on the Euro
pean continent. So interesting did the
play prove when first presented that Mr.
Hope, the author of the story, was com
PEELED to write a sequel In order to explain
what eventually becomes of Rassendyll
and the other important characters of the
play. This sequel, entitled Rupert OF
Hentzau," named after Black Michael
principal lieutenant, was also dramatized
and will be presented the week after The
| Prisoner of Zenda." In both productions
William Ingersell will play the dual role
of the king" and ''Rassendyll," and
Lillian Lawrence viii be seen as "Prin-
cess Flsyia."

ing people. We beg of you to refrain
from asking for license allowing the
sale of intoxicating beverages on the
grounds during the week of the Fair.
1--WE desire to say that we are very
thankful to Mrs. Graham for recalling her
decision not to leave her own state on
occasions like this.
"We ask that each local Union holds
public meetings pending the passage of
the Local Option Bill now before the New
Jersey Legislature.

Electric Tow Line.

The Delaware and Lehigh canal, which
has been dry since the opening of winter,
is about to be reflooded, and transportation
through it will be recommended about the
first of March on much larger scale than
ever before. Ninety new steel canal boats
have been ordered to tap the rich coal
lands in the hands of independent owners
back in Pennsylvania, who have experience
ed difficulty in getting their output into the
Philadelphia and other markets owing to
the prohibitive prices for freight charged
by the railroad companies. The time
honored mule and tow-path will disappear,
to be replaced by the creation of the en-
gineer's brain-the electric trolley.
1t is not known how many of these
motors will be used, but large order
for them has been placed with the General
Electric Company of Schenectady.
More than $3.50. 900 has already been
laid out and it is said that the completion
of the plans now under consideration will
require an expenditure Of as much more.
The canal itself is also to come in for a
share of improvement, and will be
dredged to depth of 10 feet for its entire
length. Great masses of canal grass that
in summer is so thick as almost to impede
the progress of the boats through it will
be cleaned out. Along the banks of the
canal narrow gauge railway for the
trolleys will have to be constructed. For
this road bed, well graded, will have to
De laid, and all these things mean an out
let for pent up labor now idle.
The boats, too. will have to be operated |
by crews of at least two men each, and |
the number of men required to load them
at the starting point and to unload them
1T their destination, will also help to
boom conditions by providing field for
The worker.
By the use of the canal in competition
with the railroad, the price of coal should
also become more reasonable for the points
to the boats.

bottle of gin. While the ferry boat was
in mid-stream he climbed down to the
stokehold, and with significant wink un-
corked bottle, and offered drink to
Michael Monse, the fireman. Monse took
several gulps, and Archer, seizing the

Monse tied himself up in knot on the
floor, grooming. CHANGING at the bottle
