PROCEEDINGS OF
BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Council met Monday evening, pres
ent Mayor Adams, Councilmen Ryon,
Leeds, McAnney and Conover, and
Clerk Andrews.
There was considerable discussion
on the local Water Company's action
in endeavoring to collect water rents
in advance, and several of the mem
bers criticised these efforts. On sug-
gestion of Mr. McAnney, the Clerk
looked up ordinances and several laws
but reported he could find none that
gave the Company authority to collect
rents in advance. In lieu of this the
Councilmen did not think any action
necessary but expressed their advice
that the citizens would not have to
pay their water rents in advance.
Thomas B. Wootton, who was nam
ed as Delinquent Tax Collector at a
previous meeting, having expressed
himself as unable to give his services
to that purpose because of business
pressure, Councilman Ryon suggested
Mr.. Webster Price, the present Collec-
tor, for the position. The appoint
ment was held over for future meet
ing.
The Clerk was instructed to have
ejectment proceedings instituted ag-
ainst owners living in properties that
have been bought by the Borough in
the last eight years at sales for delin-
quent taxes, and of which Borough
has possession.
Authority was given the Clerk to
secure the assistance of one or two
constables, if Necessary, in collecting
outstanding mercantile taxes.
Mr. McAnney made motion that
communication be forwarded Judge
Higbee, the Borough's solicitor, ask
ing that the latter give at once his de-
cision to'the Borough in several mat
ters now before him. Nj. McAnney
stated that delay in answering the
Borough's questions handicapped the
councilmen greatly and desired that
the busy Judge be logged along some
what.
A motion was passed requesting
Justice Weeks to turn over to the
Clerk the. amount Of fine levied upon
Proprietor Hubin, Of Hubin's Theatre,
in accordance with provisions of the
law for the disposition of such fines.
A map of property of Charles W.
1ngersoll, located near New Road and
Adams avenue, and one Of property
of George H. Adams, showing an ex-
tension of streets of the Pleasantville
Land Company tract, were presented
by R. P. Thompson, who prepared
them, and were given the necessary
approval Of Council to permit their
filing at the County Seat.

PROGRESS OF GEMS.

The entertainment to be given in
Cantes' Theatre on July 9th, under
the auspices of the Pleasantville Fire
Company, is being rapidly polished to
shine with scintillating brilliance in
its new setting in this town. Many
are the jewels that are included in
this collection. Miss Dorothy Bowers
will sing duet with Mr.. Harrison
Browne, of Vineland, and introduce a
graceful dance that will delight her
audience. Little Miss Pauline Stall
ford will quite steal our hearts with
the appealing manner in which she
sings "Could you learn to love little
girl like me-, and the hundred or
more kiddies who sing "In the days
of girls and boys, and "All Aboard
for Blanket Bay, make us wish we
were back in those days ourselves,
"eating mammals jam and pie"
The special feature of the evening,
however, will be the Fire Brigade
song, by Mr.. Russell Browne, of Vine
land, who will play for the entire
show. This number was written es-
pecially for Miss Colladay when she
produced "Gems' in Vineland, and is
most artistically and elaborately
worked out, includes twenty couples,
and led by Miss Elizabeth Bower and
Mr.. Harrison Browne.
Tickets are going rapidly, and are
on sale. for 25 and 30 cents at Brick
er's and Crawford's Drug Stores.
Get busy and have your seats re-
served!

KWANKOBA WAS SPLENDIDLY
SUCCESSFUL.

The highest commentator is being
received by Mrs. David r. Lake and
her able assistants for the splendid
success of the Kwankoba or Japanese
Lawn Fete, given on the lawn of the
Pleasant Villa on last Friday evening.
The decorations were beautiful, con-
sisting of Japanese lanterns, Japanese
fans and parasols, arches decorated
with crepe paper Each booth seemed
to vie with the other in the beauty of
| its arrangements. The flower booth
seemed the most beautiful, until one
saw the orange tree with it's bright
fruit, lanterns, flash lights, or the can
dy or fruit punch booths with their
quaint, pretty kimona clad japanese
maids in attendance. No one came in
the grounds without pausing to drink
from the Fountain of Youth, where
Misses Florence Zippler, Mabel Mau-
te, Huldah Newell and Helen Weaver
and their assistants caused one to be-

Blossom.
The tea booth, under Mrs. J. B.
Westeott and Mrs. Hugh NJ. Collins
and Miss Collins was beautiful with
its cut glass, silver, iced tea and dain-
ty waters, and was social center
throughout the entire bazaar.
The Clover Club charmingly carried
out their club colors of green and
white, in their elaborately decorated
booth for fancy goods.
Mrs. John F. Ryon and Mrs. Charles
Collins received congratulations for
planning the decorations
Messrs. Rutledge and Thomas were
successful in securing a splendid eff

Those who heard the oratorical
flights of Messrs. Charles Collins,
Tom Wootton, Samuel G. Bowen, How
ard Sumins and Stanley Zippler, as
auctioneers, agree that could Shakes
peare or Bill Nye have heard them,
they would have turned green with
envy.
The musical program was highly
pleasing, being arranged by Mrs. Rob-
ert L. Race, Misses Helen Collins, Liz
zie Ang, Eleanor Helfrich, Mrs. John
G. Thomas, and Messrs Howard Su-
Minis and others.
A check of goodly proportions has
already been forwarded direct to Miss
Mabel Frost, Superintendent Of the
State Home for Incurables at Tren-

ments wish to thank all those whose
efforts helped to make this success,
as well as the many kind donors.

WHIPPED PAPA OF
HIS BEST GIRL

Raymond Ingersoll, 20 years old, of
Linwood, was held under $500 bail to
keep the peace by Magistrate Weeks,
after sensational hearing on charges
preferred by Walter Wescott, step
father of Louise Smith, IA years old,
with whom Ingersoll was infatuated.
From evidence adduced at the hear
ing, it appeared that Ingersoll had
been warned to keep away from the
girl, but disregarded the warning.
When Wescott caught him in company
with her, he ordered Ingersoll off the
premises. This the youth resented
and fight followed, in which, it was
charged, Wescott was severely beaten.
He had Ingersoll arrested on charge
of assault and battery.

things. The Williams College youth tried
TO lead the Yankees 10 victory over Wash.
ington to-day. but the Senators walioped
him to all corners Of the lot and won BY
a score OF Z 10 2.
! It is matter Of fact that the Yankees
in the past have had more or less trouble
with the delivery OF Bobby Groome. To-
day was no exception to the hard and
I fast rule. He let the Yankees down with
quintet % safeties, which were scat
tered alons With rare discrimination.
Groome was a little too liberal for his
own good. and the four bases on balls
which he handed around were sufficient
TO account In no small way for the first
count Of the Yankees, scored In the Sec
ond inning, an error aiding In the cause
materially.

Of Davis but the greater number OF

heat, but remained steady. and by easy
stages his owner, Charles Moncrief
brought him successfully third at the
quarter, second at the half and first at
the head of the stretch, the black winning
by a good length. In the final round Mon
Grief let the mare set the pace. and on
the last turn let Oakland out, breazins
