George e. Mead, who has worked

served as foreman and in other
offices of Protection Hook & Ladder
Company, is a life member of the
New Jersey State Firemen's Relief
Association, for the past ten years
has been a member of the Exempt
Firemen's Association, and is secre-
tary of the general parade commit
tee, has nothing but praise to offer
for the way the parade was conduct
ed. In his estimation it was the
biggest, best and finest demonstra-
ton of it's kind ever witnessed any
where in this section. He is thank
full for those who worked so ardent
ly for it's success and pleased that
their labors were not in vain, as was
evinced by the celebration yesterday.
The celebration in general, the
gaiety connected with it, the elabor-
ate decorations and the flood of visi-
tors in town, he declares, all made it
the greatest pageant in the history
of the city. He worked for the last
parade held five years ago and, like
SO many others, declared 1t could
not be surpassed in splendor. mag
nificence and greatness. He declares
the volunteer fire department of
Perth Amboy outdone itself yester-
day.

by the decision of the judges, Mr..

would withdraw the complaint.
Three cheers were then given for the
company.
The Monmouth Beach company n
tered a protest against the Phil
DAILY company, claiming 1t made the
good time it did by using members
of the West End Fire Company, of
Long Branch, whom they claimed
were but honorary members of the
Phil Daily company.
Members of the latter claimed the
Phil Daily company was entered as
the Long Branch Fire Department,
it being the only company author
lied by the city council to go and
represent the place. Chairman Lar
son said that was right and later the
contest committee decided in favor OF
the Phil DAILY company.
Those who comprised the contest
comnittee, who worked most urgent

Samuel Bayard, George Seaman,
Frank Tooker, Charles Jaspersen

PUBLIC OPINION

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
| will appreciate your favor to
permit me a few words In your paper
in regard to the S. P. C. A. crusade
taking place in our city. | cannot
add to the Importance of such a
noble institution, and it is to be de-
plored we have no n here fit to
look out for the protection of the
poor creatures.
AS important and m~eritorious as
the s. P. c. A. may be, its dealings
in Perth Amboy seem shady. The
agents are honorable men without
doubt, yet it seems recorder, Mr..
kehoe, should be a mar to dispose
of cases of this nature. Why is it
the S. P. C. A. singles out a justice
of the peace to punish the wrong
doer? Is the justice of the peace
more merciful to the S. P. C. A,
agents or to the maligned animals?
Perhaps the S. P. C. A. agents are
not aware that Perth Amboy has a
recorder who holds that Office for the
welfare of it's citizens. | believe in
protection of not only dumb animals
but all animals, yet these actions are
SC shady ! cannot decipher them.
A city like Perth Amboy should
be able to take care of it's own af-
fairs and not have unknown strang-
ers swoop down here and perform
outrages, and at the same time i'm
posing fines.
VIII the S. P. C. A. agents kindly
answer in your paper q few ques-
tons? How can a person weigh a
fowl without tying the legs? WHY
a horse with a sore, that is not press
ed upon by the harness, is unfit for
work? Why Recorder Kehoe is not
honorable enough in the eyes of the
S. P. G. A. agents to dispose of their
grievances? Is justice safer in the
hands of a Justice of the peace than
in the hands of a city recorder?
| will watch the columns of this
paper for a reply. Thanking you for
the space used to express myself, /
remain
Yours respectfully,
A PERPLEXED CITIZEN.

FALLING OFF IN
REGISTRATION
Reports Throughout the
State Shows Increase.
tFrom the NEWS Coyrespomdent.)

tCTOH iHt W. NO SptF tSpOHUt NGst
Trenton, Oct. 25.-Notwithstand-
ing the strong efforts made Tuesday
last to get all the voters registered
in the cities of the state, the reports
received by the political leaders from
various sections indicate that there
has been considerable falling off in
the number of voters who got their
names on the books. Tuesday was
the last day for registration in mu-
inequalities of more than 5000 pop
ulation. Next Tuesday will be the
last registry day in municipalities of
less than 5000 inhabitants.
The result of the registration last
Tuesday has put a crimp in the pre-
dictions of some of the State House
politicians. They thought that I'M
usual interest was being manifested
in the political situation and that
this would mea a large registra-
ton and vote. From Newark comes
the report that the registration there
is more than 1000 less than in the
Presidential campaign of 1908. Hud-
son county reports a falling off of
nearly fifteen per cent. In some
parts of Jersey City less voters are
registered than were on the books
last year. which was an off" cleo
ton. Other parts of North Jersey
report similar drops. In Mercer
county the number registered thus
far is not up to the normal for a
Presidential year and the same is
true of portions of South Jersey.
