the statement that they are going to
play Mt. .Loretto. Tho Aallands

Teddy" Ernst and Kenneth Fish
err the two tennis cracks OF this
city, have issued a challenge to the
Metuchen Field Club tennis play
ers. The locals have the scalps Of
the South Amboy racquet wielders
under their hat and are now hunt
ing for the scalps of other players
in these parts. Metuchen boasts OF
some nifty men and will probably
answer the challenge. Whether
they will come as close to Ernst and
Fisher as the South Amboy crew can
not be judged now, as nothing has
been heard of their prowess.
Ernst has also entered a Long Is

OPENED WEST POINT IN 1902
Great Training School Has Turned Out
Come Efficient Officers for
Uncle Sam.

The selection of West Point as the
place for the national military acad-
envy was due, says Mrs. G. r. Miller in,
1eslie's Weekly, to Its advantages
from d military viewpoint, for its
rugged beauty and its severe climate
were calculated to be beneficial In he
foundation of that sort OF character so
essential to a successful officer. The
academy was formally opened July d,
1902, with ten cadets and five officers
as instructors. Its success is said to
be due to the administrative ability of
General Sylvanus Thayer, who became
its superintendent In 1917 and served
as such for 18 years. This officer is
known as the Father of West Point.
Since the opening of the academy, In
Guiding the class of 1911. more than
five thousand officers have been gradu-
ated.
A cadets education costs the gov
eminent about $4,000. All cadets are
ON the same footing. The pay of a
cadet Is 5000 a year and n ration
per day, or Communication thereof at 30
cents a day. The total Is about s7o9.50,
to commence with his admission to the
academy. Immediately after his ad-
mission the young man must spend
about $3.50 for uniforms.
After graduation the cadet Is eligi-
BILE to the rank of second lieutenant
and Is appointed to whatever branch
OF the service his record entities him.
Those who are highest In class honors
are generally appointed to the engi-
neer corps.
An act Of congress authorizing the
expenditure of s5,S0o,000 for the re-
construction of the United States Mill
tary Academy was passed In June,
1902, and at a later session of con-
gress $1,70O. 900 additional was al
lowed.

caught seven fine blues in a short

Grabs are everywhere the salt wa
ter flows. The waters of South Jer-
say are so thick with them 1t Is
impossible to fish, as they take the
bait before the fish have time to get

strike in there before winter, the
crabs will prove a nuisance. At
