Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Sept. 11:-Following a
lively row at the meeting of the
city convention today, when it
formally took charge of all excise
regulations, a license was granted to
John P. Manzel by unanimous vote
to keep a hotel, opposite Clinton
street station of the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t is the first new license
granted in the city in about FIVE
years. The license was bitterly op-
posed by the inter-church Fedora
ton and sexeral ministers yesterday
publicly preached against it.
Statements made at today's meeting
showed that the actual motive in
breaking away from a FIVE year pre-
cedent was to break yoke Of con-
troy which two commissioners said
had long been maintained in the
city by the Trenton Brewing Com
pany. Mansee, who will sell the
beer Of another brewery, has been
seeking a license for years and the
commissioner declared today the
Trenton Brewing Company has kept
him from getting 1t.

CUPID HELPS
WIN REGATTA
Lakanoo 0arsman Marries
on Way to Contest.

Burlington, n. J., Sept. 11-Cupid
rode upon the deck of a big racing
canoe when, at the Philadelphia re-
gatta, the crew Of the Lakanoo Boat
club of this city won two great vic
tories and landed a second annual
championship in the contest Of the
canoe clubs of the Delaware valley.
Less than half q dozen persons in
the crowd at the races knew that j.
Stanley Page, who stroked the cham
pions to victory in the club tours dou-
Bile blade race, was q bridegroom Of
less than an hour, having eloped with
and married Miss Ethel NJ. Townsend
Of Bristol, "a, when on his way to
the regatta.
1t was with the consent Of his bride
that the honeymoon was delayed while
Mr.. Page Joined his fellow members Of
the Lakanoo in the seasons final battle
for supremacy at the Red Dragon Ca
noe club in Wissinoming, Philadel-
phia, and the fact that the crew vic
tories give the Lakanoo men the sea
sons lead over their closest rivals, the
Yapewi Canoe club Of B~ordentown, by
q spare two points delighted Mrs.
Page, who applauded the yictors from
the pier.
In his automobile Page called for
Miss Townsend at her home in Bris-
tol Saturday and they left ostensibly
for Wissinoming. Instead, they cross
ed the Delaware to Burlington, met
Alonzo Shinn, another member Of the
Lakanoo crew, and Miss Esther o.
Daniel, and then drove to the rectory
of st. Mary's Protestant Episcopal
church, where the nuptial knot was
tied by Rev. James F. Olmsted, Shinn
acting as best nan and Miss Daniel
as bridesmaid.
Following the ceremony the wedding
party entered the automobile and there
Camden.
In Philadelphia the driver lost his
way and added ten miles to the trip
to the Red Dragon club grounds, where
Lakanoo men, angry and puzzled at
the nonappearance of their absent
paddlers, had urged officials Of the
regatta to rearrange the program and
hold the crew races for the final
events.
Officials had just decided that they
could afford no further postponement
when the missing men appeared and
helped turn what looked like certain
defeat into a victory. The Lakanoo
crews, with Pages aid, won both dou-
BILE and single blade events. Imme-
dlately after the regatta Page sent
news Of his marriage to his own and
his brides parents. Upon their return
from a wedding journey they will oc-
cupy a new home in Palmira.
