 The premium list for the next an rual show, December 13 to 17, inclus- i've, prepared by Secretary Phillips was approved This will be one of the most attractive lists that has ev- CT been offered in the south, and should insure large number of en- tries from outside of the city.
 The Associations finances were dis cussed and although the premoum list will cinclude S700 in cash prizes, the Associations resources will amply cover this amount, showing that it is ;n a flourishing condition, with a fast increasing membership, now number iLg 63 local, and 1 out of town mem- bers, or over twice as many as the Arkansas State Association.

 The only semblance of pitcha ar that Manager Hilzheim had left WAS Catcher Sparks and he pitched the remaining inning, but was unable to stem the tide and the Lloyds stacked up two more runs on him. For the Lloyds, Green caught an excellent game and Captain Mullins was on the firing line. He was an enigma to 'FoWnsend's bunch and also used his stick like a big leaguer having two two-base hits to his credit, while Manager Wilson, who had nothing to do in center garden, also registered g two-base swat. Keller, Rebecct and Whitman each had three base hits and Graves had three hits out ot five times up, while Blooms excel tent stick work was somewhat ham, dicapped by lame foot J. B. Hilz- helm (not Sammie) played the initi al bag in fine form and hit well, espe- cially considering the fact that this was his first game this season. Kel- fer played star ball at third
 For the Voss-Nichols S, Catcher Sparks played in a manner that de- served to win as did also Toney Fran ey, but it takes nine good players to cope with the Lloyd 's-two men can't handle them.
 It is rumored that ,the Altheimer team, which was defeated by the Lloyd's Friday afternoon by the score of 12 to 6, has issued a challenge to the Voss-Nichol bunch, and that game is awaited with a great deal of inter- est

A FAWN; TEST CASE
From The Inquirer.

MAYS LANDING, y. J., May Con
vction of Lewis IT, Barrett, a prominent
politician and hotel man of Pleasantvillc
and Harry Stewart, the first for having
a doe i'll his possession and the latter for
killing buck fawn last deer season, was
sustained by Judge Enoch A. uigbee, be-
fore whom the case was appealed after
conviction i'll the court of Magistrate
Daniel e. lszard, of this place.
The fawn in question had two "spikes
protrudiug from its skull, each about an
inch and a half high, but covered with
flr The contention of the State Warden
Harry Loveless, of Mercer county, who
made the arrest, was to the effect that
a fawn does not become buck" until
the horns break through the skin and
are plainly visible. The hunters, backed
by large number of sportsmen, made
the ease test of the law by asserting
that the animal in question was large
enough to be legally killed. Lawyer
William l. Garrison, who was one Of
the party that captured the young buck,
brought every effort to bear on the case
to have the decision of Magistrate Is
zard reversed. but Judge Higbee, after
considering the briefs, decided that the
defendants must pay 500 fine and costs.

ONE LOCAL BAKER FAV0RS
2 MODERN BREAD SERVING

A. E. Danielson, proprietor Of the
homestead bakery" does not approve
Of putting off till tomorrow what can
be done today, and with the progressive
rcss of the age and the demand toward
hygiene, he contemplates keeping abreast
of the times, by erecting on his property
on Washington avenue bakery with
one of the most improved and up to-datc
ovens to be found The construction
will he of brick with an increased capa
city and facilities for handling the grow
ing business. Every portion of the new
shop will be open for inspection.
Last weeks editorial on the attitude
of certain Atlantic City bakers regarding
the serving of bread in sealed packages
has been discussed by Mr.. Danielson,
and it may be said the idea meets with
his approval; but, he says that the adj
ditional expense will have to be adjust
ed as the present high price of flour and
labor are cutting down bakers marginal
Profits to such an extent that they can
not take this step and keep bread at
the usual price. If the purchaser would
be willing to 90 half way the theory
could be given a practical test and those
Who are contcnding for this innovation
could see if the advantages compensated
for the additional cost.

City Council began its Monday even

he noticed the gas light was on the
blink" presumably from water gurgl

blow the water out of the gas pipes
After seance i'll darkness for five min
utes the assembly witnessed the second
reading of the important paper. As
our councilinen did not see any neces-
sity for being in hurry, it was pro
for final action. Mr.. Tompkins stated
i'll reply to a question by Mr.. Roberts
that the company would not object 10

the order was already placed and would
be shipped upon notice that the ordi-
nance had passed council on third read

about July first.
The clerk re read the ordinance and
by an unanimous vote council approved
the peoples demand for the best up-to-
date system of lighting. Quite a de
monstration followed. Mayor Campbell
said that should he never have the
privilege of signing another, he would
be satisfied when he affixed his official
signature to this ordinance. Pres. Brad
ley, of the company, arose and thanked
council for their action and assured all
that Somers Point would never have
cause to regret it.
The mayor then made request that
council consider some means to regulate
the burning of trash brush, etc, and
make some provision for clearing the
city Of underbrush. This was referred
to the solicitor.
In view of the recent purchase of an
up to date hose wagon by the fire COM
pany, Pres. Westphal requested council
to have the floor of the fire engine room
lowered about a foot and half, as the
present elevation is too great to run on

BY LOCAL CONDITIONS ONLY

The Press Office is considered by many
persons as a general information bureau.
Like other mortals the bureau gets
stumped and then the man higher up is
sought. :
There is one question that is often
asked by men and women who happen
to reach the post Office after hours-it
is. has the postmaster a right to close
the office at 7.l5 pm.
In order to get an opinion from the
bigger guns, The Press sent an inquiry
direct to the first assistant postmaster
general at Washington, and the reply
came back,
:. you are Informed that in
adopting post Office hours postmasters
are governed somewhat by the time of
the arrival of mails and the local business
hours. The matter of your inquiry will
be taken up with the postmaster at

in the matter as to who or what organ

French piano that is now on exhibition
at the John s. Weaver department store
If this place, but from the way nomina-
lions are being made, few persons be-
lieve that the Red Mems hall auditorium
is about as much in need of the in
strument as any other place. Honors
are about even, however, between the
auditorium and the w. G. I. U. hall, OF
this place-that is to judge by this
weeks balloting. At any rate, the field
is open to every organization, church or
school in Atlantic County, and what is
more, the
PIANO is OPEN
for inspection at the Weaver store. No
one need refrain from calling at the
store and no one who can finger the
worries need hesitate giving the piano
Il trial. for it is open and free to all. 1t
is beautiful instrument finished in
mahogany and is well worth the little
effort required to win it. Red Mems
hall auditorium and the W. G. L. U.
hall should both have the piano, as well
as several other places, but how many
friends will rally to the fray?

vited to visit the Weaver store at once.
