Large increase in Output Of Fire-Re-
sistant Building Products in 1909.
The enormous fire tax on the people
of the United States imposed by tiimsy
and inhammable buildings, says Jeffer-
son Middleton of the United States
geological survey, in "Clay-Working
Industries" an advance chapter OF
Mineral Resources" for 1909, has
aroused public sentiment on the sub
ject of fireproof construction, and as
a result the demand for freproof struc
lures is increasing. and the growing
use OF brick and other products
of burned clay has been the natural
consequence. The use of hollow build
ing tile or blocks for outer walls
seems to be on the increase. Some
very attractive architectural effects
have been produced with this tile in
combination with brick and with stuc-
coed outer surfaces. improvements
in front brick, both in texture and in
color, have been attained within the
last few years and have enhanced the
value Of this product as a binding ma
terial
Not only was 1900 a year of pros
perity in the clay-working industries
but it was notable for the introduce
ton of some important improvements.
The most prominent of them is the
bricksetting machine introduced in
the west. The idea of handling brick
by machinery originated in New Eng
land and a plant equipped several
years ago with an elaborate system
was the first to use the unit stack
By this system the unit for handling
was 800 brick. This plant was des-
troyed by fire and was never rebuilt
In 1909 a system of handling from
coo to 1000 bricks on a somewhat diff
ferent plan was put into successful
operation in the west and is now be-
ing used in Chicago. BY this system
it is possible for the brick to be carri-
ed from the molding machine to the
drier, from the drier to the kiln, and
from the kiln to the stock yard or the
delivery car or cart without being
touched by hand Each of these ma
chimes is said to do the work of 40
men.
More and more attention is being
given to the preparation OF clay by
weathering, mixing grinding, screen
ing, and tempering before it is passed
| through the molding machine. 1t has
/ been found that the quality of the pro
duct is much improved by better prep.
aration of the clay.
Concentration of the Industry.
The number of operating firms con
tinues to decline. A few years age
there We're scattered throughout the
country many small plants, but the
present tendency is to concentrate the
industry and to build plants with high
grade equipment and large capacity
The average value of the output pei
firm reporting in 1909 was $14,S95: il
1909 it was $32,S1S. The capacity o
brick machinery has been greatly in
creased in recent years. A few year,
ago a machine that would make 5000
or 5000 brick an hour was considered
a wonder. Today machines are il
operation that will turn out tire,
times as many brick.
The great tendency in the clay-work
ing industries is to reduce the cost o
production by the use of more efiicien
machinery and by the elimination a.
far as possible, of hand labor.

FOOD AND LODGING
Construction Placed on Law Relating
to Serving Sunday Cocktails

The question has arisen as to wheth
er or not innkeepers can serve liquors
to guests of a hotel on Sundays and
holidays at tables with their food I'M
less such persons are dodgers - The
law in the first instance said that liq
uors might be served to guests who re
sorted to such hotels for food or lod-
ging" but the law was changed and
now reads food and lodging which
would require each person to so serve
with liquor TO be a bona fide guest
of the hotel with a duly registered
room
The condition Of license reads:
THAT no liquor shall be sold or fur
nished on Sunday or on day which
a national state town or village cleo
ton is held or on a national or state
holiday, etc, excepting by a licensee
who is an inn keeper to guests who
have resorted to his inn for food and
lodging and then only at meals at the
public table or by fifth class license. "
Among attorneys the law appears
plain that a person to have liquor ser
ed at the table with his meals on Sun
days must have resorted to the hotel
for food and lodging and that per
sons who 80 to the hotel just for food
and MOTOR lodging cannot be served
liquor on Sundays and holidays. There
is a grave question whether one per
son can engage a room and then in
vite several to sit at the same table
and imbibe in his liquid hospitality
and with such a construction on the
law there are few licensees in the
state would care to take chance on
having his license revoked Montpel-
Ter Argus.

in favor of the Lincoln Avenue Public
School nine against the Our Lady of the
Valley team, Ford, the first man up for
the Valley in the eighth inning

lish. umpire, called the ma out.
There was a srnall-slzed rumpus, the
Valley folk claiming the umpire had
not witnessed the alleged missing of
the third sack. and when English re-
fused to change his decision, the Valley
folk declined to continue the game. The
contest was declared forfeited to Lin
coin avenue by a score OF 9 to 0. The
game was the first lost by the Valley

The candidates were sent over the

BELLEVILLE c. G. ENTRIES (
BEING SENT IN FASTER
THAN WAS ANTICIPATED

rNTRIES for the Belleville Catho-
lie Club games on Jun 10 have
started to pour in, and the
secretary of entries has been obliged
to secure an assistant to help him out
with his work. There seems to be no
choice in the matter of popularity of
the events, the sprints being as well
patronized as the longer distances.
The fact that there will be no other
meet in this vicinity on the 10th gives
added popularity to the meet.
A most popular event has been in
troduced in the one mile ~intercounty
relay race, open to Hudson and Essex
county teams. and zest has been add
ed in that clubs are not restricted to
their W. ranks to recruit runners,
provided said inner reside in either
county and are not members of clubs
outside of these counties.
This will enable a number of clubs
who are handicapped by a weak man
and also afford an opportunity to sew
eral good men who are attached to
clubs with weak relay teams to have
a chance to show their prowess when
teamed with a full quota of good men.

the team is entered will receive the
team trophy. This arrangement is GER
tain to give better teams and present
a better balanced race.
Seyfarth, Reilly and Devaney are
training hard for their special one
mile match race, and all report that
they are already in fair shape for this
big contest.
There should be great interest in the
big three-mile race, for a large num-
Der of entries are coming In from
men who will be placed well out to the
limit and will make the star scratch
men step in close to record time to
win out. This is bound to be one of
the greatest races of the day.
The half-mile novice is an event
which will furnish abarrel of fun,
and from the present outlook this race
may have to be run in heats.
1t is quite probable that an extra
event will be tackled on in the nature
of an exhibition shot-put and discus
throwing by the Olympic champion
Martin Sheridan, as he is a fellow
townsman of Mike O'Hara, Belleville's
shot-putter.

Goshen Has 230 Entries, Nine
ola Over 100 and Parkway
Nearly That.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

A S has been predicted by turf writ
~ ers and others familiar with the
situation, the coming season is
certain in every way to be the great
est the light-harness horse sport has
ever seen. Every half-mile plant in
the metropolitan districts that counts
has hung up a series of stake events.
In every instance these early-closing
events have filed far beyond the ex-
pectations of the most optimistic.
Not a stake has been declared off
and at a large proportion of the tracks
enough horses have been named to
tax the stabling capacity.
Goshen has received 230 entries, Min
cola over 100, Parkway over ninety and
the other tracks very nearly as many.
The first of these stake event to be
raced are at Hohokus on July 4. and
at this meeting horsemen may get a
line on many of the stake candidates
who will perform over the half-mile
tracks later on in the season. While
but two local horses, Mcneil and
Esther b., have been staked any there
are several horses in active training
at this time that look like the goods
and will take a whirl at the class
races ONtI Tic tidSho duJdNSht W thS
metropolis.
A majority of the trainers will move
to Weequahic Park track Monday, and
it is expected hat several local horses
viii be started for the long green at
Hohokus on Decoration Day.
The races at this plant will be for
$500 each for the following classes:
2:1s trot and ELS pace, 2:22 trot and
1926 pace and a 1880 trot and pace.
Entries close on May rs, and blanks
for these events may be had from the
writer.
The Hohokus track was opened to
trainers on May l. At this time Florey
Davis, Pete Goode and Johnnie Parker
are getting their stables ready at this
track. Up to date The Preacher, 2:12A,
holds the track record for the season,
having worked a mile Tuesday in 2:35,
last quarter in "a seconds. Florey
Davis has beer in 2:36h with the
chestnut pacing gelding Senator Cat
lin, and he stepped the final quarter in
this mile in o. seconds.
This horse has been named in six
early-closing events and is believed to
be the making of a sensational PAGER.

type. and the demand for really high
class drafters Is greater than the sup
ply. A large variety of second hand
seasoned horses continue to arrive and
the Bulls Head stables are selling them
well worth the money. Mr.. Hoy is
showing several very hardy driving
horses n continues to receive a nice
assortment of. good mules.
Baney Brothers report a big trade in
high-class drivers of the heavy harness
type. and have very recently disposed
of some of the very best coupe horses
offered for sale in the metropolitan dis
tricts. They are showing some fancy
big drafters and have an assortment of
mules second to no dealer in the East.
Otto Fentzlaff, the local enthusiast, has
moved to the Hohokus track with the
chestnut trotting mare Barberisa, 2:24h,
and the bay pacing gelding J.. A. O.,
2:13A. Both horses are in nice shape,
and Otto expects to race them over the
local half-mile tracks this season. Both
horses were raced considerably last
year and did very we'll.
Andy Nicoll bought a new one yes
terday and he acts like the making of a
good trotter. His lame is Case Graf
tan. and is reported to have been a
mile in 2:SO1a last quarter in 351a &C.

is a son of Grattan Boy, 2:0S, out of

George Stengel has turned the fast
bay 2-year-old filly Monmouth Belle,
by Axum. out of Elkwood Queen, by
Oratorio, over to Charley Mayberry, who
will train her and race her in her stake
engagements. should she develop the
necessary form. She was a very fast
yearling, and if she has not been hurt
should have a chance in her engage
ments.
At the conclusion of tomorrow's an
nual parade. a series of brushes to
wager have peer arranged over the
local speedway. These events will close
the spring season over that course. and
it is expected that quite a number of
horses will be seen in action
Jake York. the Paterson trainer, is
handling a part of the Gyles outfit at
the Clifton track, and they are reported
a nice bunch of horses. He has a
green trotting stallion that has already
been a mile In 2:27. which would indi-
cate what he will do. if his effort this
early in the season has not hurt him.
