compliance with the constitution.
New Jersey having no lieutenant
governor, the constitution provides
that in the absence of duly elected
Governor from the State the President
of the Senate shall act as Governor.
This is the first time in the history Of
the State that an acting Governor
ever drew the salary during the tenn

Senate president shall not only act in
his stead, but be entitled to the "emol-
uments" of the office.

ENOUGH FOR ADAMS.
Black Diamonds WallOp Express
Handlers in Soft Game, Ending
10 to 0.

Steve Donovans Black Diamonds. of
the Bush Line, threw the harpoon into
the Adams Express nine in a five in
ming game, over Third street bridge
last night, by a IL to 0 score.
The feature of the game was the
battery work of Donovan and Derrick
son, who had the Adams buch imagin-
ing that they were up against Bender
and Thomas.
Hagan, who started to pitch for
Adams. was pounded all over the lot
and was taken out before one man
was retired. VanDyke, who relieved
him, was little better, as he carries
too much flesh for a pitcher and he
seemed to be able to locate anything
but the plate. Jacoby had several
easy chances at third, out Of which
he made some glorious muffs. Bill
Hynson seemed to be scared too death
the way he backed from "Steve's"
twisters, while Colt wanted to quit
before the first inning was over.
The teams will not meet again this
season, as the Adams boys say enough
is enough.
