vancement each grade was making
under the system taught in the
schools of the city. Shortly after 8
o'clock it was announced that the ex-
e~rcises in the assembly hall were
about to begin and soon every seat
was occupied with many standing in
the rear of the room. The exercises
began with the singing of the Amer

ing this Professor N. J. Lowe, prin-
ctpal of the school, read from the
Scripture, and the Lords prayer
was repeated IN unison.
After the salution to the flag, Pro-
lessor Lowe, in a brief speech, intro
duced City Magistrate Joseph B.

ing. Judge Handy, who spoke on
patriotism and the meaning of the
flag, was loudly applauded both dur
ing his remarks and after he finish
ed. Counsellor Charles A. Marshall,

near the platform. Immediately took

address on this occasion. The entire
audience arose as one. The exercises
closed with singing of the Star
%Spangled Banner" with everyone
standing. Nearly a thousand people
including the school children, were
at the exhibit, which it is said, far
exceeded anything that had been

j. G. T. PLANS
FOR NEW LINE
Trolley Between Bed Bank
and Long Branch.

Long Branch, June 15:-That the
Jersey Central Traction Company Is
anxious to build a trolley line be-
tween Red Bank and Long Branch is
no longer a secret. Several confer
ences have been held by interested
parties, in which members of the city
council, mayor, members of the
Board of Trade and others have ex-
changed views relative to the pro-
posed line, but up to today the Jer-
sey Central Traction had kept its
plans a secret. -
There was a conference Tuesday
with Superintendent Berry, OF the
New York G Long Branch Railroad
at the latter's office regarding the
Broadway crossing. Present at the
conference were Mayor e. w. Pack
er, Councilmen r. L. Gulick, chair
man of the Public Utility Committee
of the city council, and Newton Do
renus, president of the Red Bank
Chamber of Commerce. The latter
is also interested in real estate
holdings along the line of the pro-
posed trolley route. The Board of
Trade was represented by It's secre-
tary at the conference.
Mr.. Doremus had no hesitancy In
saying that the Jersey Central Trac-
ton Company was anxious to build a
line between Red Bank and Long
Branch, that would decrease the run
ming time to a half hour. At a pre-
Y1ous meeting he gave the tentative
route, starting at Broad street, run
ming out through Pinckney road,
crossing the tracks of the New York
d Long Branch Railroad at Elk
wood Park and entering the city by
way OF Grand venue to Broadway.
The conference with Superinten-
dent Berry was held for the purpose
of learning the latter's views re-
gard1ng the elevation of the tracks at
the Broadway crossing and what OBJ
1ections, If any, the company would
nave to an overhead trolley crossing
at that point.
1t has been intimated that the New
York & Long Branch intended ele-
waiting its tracks through the city,
but in answer to this report Mr..
Berry said that such a change, if It
come at all, would not arrive in
many years.
superintendent Berry said that he
oifered no objection to the building
OF a trolley road between Red Bank
and Long Branch as he had always
favored the building of trolley roads,
as his experience had been that they
always feeders of the railroads
in the end.
Mr.. Doremus left after the confer
ence, saying that he intended get
ting busy at once toward perfecting
plans for the building of the new
Red Bank-Long Branch route.
Another conference will be held
within a few days when it is ex-
pected definite action will be taken
toward getting consents on both ends
of the proposed route.
