The Event of the year.

Necessity for urging the people to be on
the alert for the dates of the great Mount
Holly Fair has become unnecessary, for
the event has become one which is looked
forward to with great interest. As soon
as the summer, with its pleasures and
vacation season, has passed, the people
begin to look ahead and the country fair
is one of the attractions. This form of
ent ertainment has not outgrown its use
fu1ness. 1t fills place that nothing else
can occupy, and fairs in various sections
command attention. The great Mount
Holly Fair holds special place in the
hearts of those who are on the lookout
for such events. The reason for this is
that the directors and officers are on the
move all the time for something that will
be appreciated by those who attend the
fair. Of course what suits one does not
suit another, yet it is fact that very few
of the numbers offered are not appreciat-
ed by all. This year there have been
especial efforts made to have the pro-
gramme more attractive than usual.
There will be the trotting, which is the
great event of the week. At no fair in
the country 10 there a better track, or
better horses. The string this year is
finer than ever and fast time may be ex-
pected.
But it is not all horse. The premiums
offered for displays by the agricu1turist,
the housewife, the artist, the relic hunter,
in fact for all the different classes who
exhibit, are very liberal. Then there are
vaudeville exhibitions, including per-
forming monkeys and bears, balloon as
tensions, educated ponies and mules, high
trapese artists and dozens of other nice
acts.
One of the latest novelties secured by
President Wills, at great expense, is Joe
Seymour and a biplane. This is one of
the Curtiss flying machines and it will
make daily ascensions. Seymour has at
tanned quite reputation as a successful
manipulation of machines. He first Sc
cured record in automobile races where
he spun around at neck-brealing speed.
Then he took to the flying machine and
his success has been as good in that line
as in the other. This one exhibition will
be worth the visit to the fair.
The grounds of the association have
been beautifed, and many accommoda-
tons have been added that will be ap-
preciated by the visitors. A special en-
trance has been arranged for automobiles
and there will be attendants who will care
for the machines while the owners stroll
around the grounds. Representatives of
the leading automobile manufacturers
will be on the grounds to answer ques
tons or lend assistance. The dates of
this great fair are: Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, October4, S, sand 7.

Death of r. p. Holeman.

Richard P. Holeman, one of the best
known and most respected residents
and one of the Oldest merchants of
Mount Holly, died at his home on
Garden street, on Saturday morning, after
q few days illness. On Wednesday.
Sept. 18th, he and his wife went to Atlantic
City for two weeks vacation. The fol-
lowing Saturday Mr.. Holeman contracted
q heavy cold, and he felt so badly during
the next few days that he concluded TO
return home, reaching here on Wednesday
afternoon. He Immediately went to bed
and physician was summoned. Pneu-
monia developed and he steadily grew
worse, passing away on Saturday morn
ing. The cause of death was valvular
heart trouble, with which he had been a
sufferer for more than year.
Mr.. Holeman, a son of Ellsworth Hole
man, deceased, was born In Mount Holly
in December, 1910. At the age Of IA he
entered the clothing store of his father
and began learning the tailoring business.
He operated the first sewing machine used
In this part of the country, very crude
affair, but one that attracted much atten-
ton.
In 1862 Ellsworth took Richard into
partnership In the clothing business, trad
ing as E. Holeman 6 Son. The store
was then located where 1t is now, at the
corner of High and Murrell streets, and 1t
has always been a flourishing concern.
No man attended to his business more
carefully, more conscientiously and more
regularly than did Richard Holeman.
He was man of strict integrity,
absolutely upright in all his business
transactions, and thoroughly Christian
man. He has for many years been a
vestryman In the Episcopal Church, first
In Trinity church and of late years in
St. Andrews. He was greatly interested
in religious work and regular attendant
at church services.
A widow and one son, Ernest D. Hole
man, survive him.
The funeral will take place this after
noon.

State Firemen's Convention.

Kisses, cat-calls and jeers swept the
annual convention of the New Jersey
State Firemen's Association In the Apollo
Theatre, Atlantic City, on Thursday,
when all but handful of the many dele
gates rose to protest against the nomina-
ton of Irving W. Meyer, of Hackensack,
as candidate for president In opposition
to Genetal Bird W. Spencer, of Passaic,
head of the organization since its creation,
80 years ago.
The voice of ex-Chief David Benedict,
of Newark, who placed the name of the
Hackensack man before the convention
after General Spencer had been nominated
amid roars of applause, was drowned by
the noise. Benedict insisted that the
convention vote by ballot, but volleys of
Kisses coupled demands for his election
from the floor, was his only response.
The convention then elected Spencer by
a rising vote, the supporters of Meyer
retaining their seats. Other officers named
were:
Secretary, William Exall, Newark;
assistant secretaries, t. Howell Johnson,
Bloomfield, and Evan F. Benners, Moores-
town, financial secretary, George T.
Everitt, Hackettstown; treasurer, John
w. Lane, Summit.

An interesting game of base ball was
played In Mount Holly Saturday afternoon
the contestants being the Continental F.
c., of the county seat, and the team from

one run. That came in the last inning
and saved them from a shut-out. This
contest decided series of three games be-
tween the two teams. The Continentals
were the victors. having made total of
four runs. On Saturday next, at Mount
Holly. the Continetals will play with the

delphja, on Saturday, winning by the
score of 90 to 2. Lumberton got fifteen
hits off of Slogan, Mingin being the only
man on the home team who failed to touch
the leather. A good eye, however, en-
abled him to get base on balls and he
made circuit of the bases. The visitors
got eight hits off of Stermer. There was
plenty of base ball In this game, and those
who attended got the worth of their money.
