 Seven cottages have gone, some completely, while others have saved little material. They are all in dan ger. A gang of workmen are moving seven back as fast as possible. I went down Sunday afternoon. Such a crowd! I counted forty automobiles at once. There were motorcycles, bicycles, teams and people on foot. It was one steady stream of vehicles passing all day. Such walls and lawns as the East Teachers had. the walls are flat and the lawns are in the ocean It just shows what little weakling man is.

The attractions were more numer-

around q small saucer-shaped track,
with his body and machine almost
horizontal and parallel with the sur
face of the earth, is hair-raising, and
reaps in goodly sums. The carousel
Is likewise good Garner. Besides
the fourteen shows, there are about
a score Of stands conducted by per-
sons who have secured concessions
on the grounds.
Those who rendered their services

RAILROAD CANNOT CLOSE
WOODBRIDGE CROSSINGS
tFrom the NEWS Correspondent,

Trenton, June 4:-W. NJ. Ostran-
der has won a temporary victory in
his suit in the Court of Chancery
against the United New Jersey Rail-
road and Canal Company, to keep
the company. which is really the
Pennsylvania, from closing two
crossings on his farm at Colonia,
Woodbridge Township, Middlesex
county. The company attempted to
close the crossings to traffic, claim
ing adverse possession for more
than twenty years, which under the
law would give it such right.
Ostrander brought his suit, insist
ing that the right to use the cross
ing had come to him from Ellis and
Edward E. Potter, from whom he
had purchased the farm.
Vice Chancellor Lewis has filed an
opinion in Chancery deciding that
the railroad company has not
proved its adverse possession for
more than twenty years. 1t must,
therefore, submit further proof If
it hopes to win the action.
