Jepisla i've.

The senate met last night after an
adjournment since Saturday. The
house will meet again tonight. A
great many matters are yet to be dis
posed of by both houses. tits thought
that prohibition and the supply bill
will be about the only matters of gen
eral interest that will be considered
by the senate. The Statewide pro-
hibition bill is now up to the senate,
the house having already passed the
measure by good majority. It is
said that compromise will try to be
effected, and that the matter will
probably be submitted to the voters
at an election to be held in August.
The session of 1909 will come to a
close on Saturday.

AUT0CLUBT HOLD
A BIG ENDURANCE
CONTEST MAY q
Ten=H0ur Run Limited to Anna
teur Dfiyers-president Hell
Ter Reieree-Many Cups.

Al q meeting of the special commit
tee of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club. recently appointed TO make
arrangements for the holding OF an
endurance contest, which was held at
the clubhouse in Park place last even
ing, preliminary plans were mapped
out for the affair, which promises to
De one of the most popular ever engi-
neered by the club.
1t was decided by the committee to
hold the contest on Saturday, MAY %.
and to limit the entries to members of
the club who own cars and who are
not in any way identified with the au-
tomobile trade.
This will make the affair an amateur
one in every particular, and will at
tract a great many entries from the
clubs membership who enjoy the ex-
element and pleasure to be derived
from such a contest of skill and en-
durance.
The committee also decided to make
the contest a ten-hour affair, starting
from the clubhouse on Park place at S
a. IN. and finishing at the same place
at s p. m. This will allow many car
owners to go into the contest who
would not care to participate in an
event that consumed more of their
time. Already the committee are
practically assured of from fifteen ia
twenty entries.
The route will cover approximately
100 miles, and Chairman II. A. Bon
nell. who has some tentative routes in
mind, will, in a day or so, decide upon
a course that will contain all the ele-
ments that go to make up an ideal
run of this description.
Many cups have been rendered to
the committee as prizes for perfect
scores, and other prizes viii be given
by the club to the drivers of the win
ming cars. The Maxwell Briscoe Com
pany will offer a trophy, and j. w.
Mason has donate a cup for the win
ming Maxwell ear. w. S. Thomas will
also give a handsome cup on behalf
of the Motor Record.
President Paul &c. Heller, of the New
Jersey Automobile and Motor Club,
will be the referee of the event, and
the active work of arranging the de-
tails will be taken up at another meet
ing of the committee, which will be
held next Monday night at the club
house. 1t was announced that the com
mittee would be very glad. indeed, to
receive suggestions as 10 routes, rules
and other matters pertaining to the
contest from any member of the clut
who wishes to make them.
An entrance fee of SIS Will be charged
each car to cover necessary expenses,
and an application for a sanction fol-
the event from the American Alitomo-
bile Association will be made. imme-
diately.
As this will be a short contest, and
will exclude the dealers and agents OF
cars from participation, it has been
suggested that the club hold a three
day affair, ope to all drivers, as soon
after this run as possible, and there is
every prospect that the club will de-
eide TO hold two big outdoor events in
addition to the usual club runs before
the summer is over.
The committee having the contest in
charge is ii. A. Bonnell, chairman; f.
A. Croselmire, A.. b. lie Massena, FL,
A. Bowman and Dewitt G. Reynolds.

motorists as to whether the semi-Toy
Brownie cars came under the provisions
of the automobile act in regard to the
age limit of the persons who would
operate them. The car is designed for
the use of children and contains a

vehicles has decided, however. that the
car comes under the definition of mo

cannot be driven by anyone under the

Injured BY LIGHTNING

~ uIcO Ny AlSnCn1n8
The 13-year-old son and 11-year-old
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. YER
zett, residing near Tasker, narrowly
escaped death from lightning last
Monday noon. They had taken lunch
to their father who was working on
a nearby farm, and when the storm
came up sought shelter in small
house. Suddenly a bolt of lightning
struck the house, badly shattering
the building and hurting the stove
through the door. When the clap
came the father turned around and
saw the son run out of the house
waving his hands wildly and then
falling in heap. He hurried to the
boys side carried him into the
house where he found his daughter
lying on the floor in an unconscious
condition with her clothes afire. He
extinguished the flames and took the
children home. A physician was
called who discovered that the girl
was badly burned about the back
and arms, but after a thorough exam
nation could ind no traces Of seri-
GUS injury on either Of the children
and reports that they will soon re-
cover from their wounds.-Berthold
