The season is at hand in which it

us as a nation.
The year that has just passed has
been marked in peculiar degree by
manifestations of his gracious and be-
nefcent providence. We have not
only had peace throughout our own
borders and with the nations OF the
world, but that peace has frightened
by constantly multiplying evidences
of genuine friendship, by mutual sym
pathy and understanding and Of the
happy operation of many elevating i'll
huences both of ideal and of practice
The nation has been prosperous
not only, but has proved its capacity
to take calm counsel amidst the rapid
movements of affairs and deal with
its own life in a spirit of candcr, right
eousness and comfy. We have seen
the practical completion of a great
work at the Isthmus of Panama, which
not only eXemplifies the nations abun-
dant resources to accomplish what II
will and the distinguished skill and
capacity of its public servants, but al
So promises the beginning of a new
age of new contacts, new neighbors,
new sympathies, new bonds and new
achievements of cooperation and
peace.
Righteousness eyalteth all ra-
tions, and peace on earth, good VIII
to men furnish only foundations up
on which can be built the lasting
achid,ements Of the human spirit
The year has brought us the satisfac-
ton of the work well done and fresh
visions of our duty which will make
the work of the future better still.
Nov, therefore, |, Woodrow Wilson,
President of, the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 9th day of November, next,
as a day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease from their wonted oc-
equations and in their several homes
and places of worship, render thanks
to Almighty God.
In witness whereof, l have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal CT
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
23d day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
thirteen, and of the independence of
the United States of America the one
hundred and thirty-eighth.

To Continue Political Fight.

When the Corcovado arrived a gov
ernment representative attempted to
induce General Diaz to continue his
voyage to Tampco. From the moment
of his landing at II o'clock this morn
ing he has professed his intention Of
continuing the political fight although
close followers have suggested this
would be futile in view Of Huertas
Blanquet ticket.
In a speech from the balcony of a
hCtel to a few hundred working men
gathered to greet him despite police
orders against demonstrations, Gen
eral Diaz reiterated his purpose Of
continuing the campaign, but mem
bers of the committee that had come
here to welcome him were convinced
he would not be permitted to finish
the political contest.
While there was no disorder here
today, twelve arrests were made in

HEAVY JACKSONS BOW
BEFORE RWERS|DES
M|CHEL|NS AND
R|V|ES AGREE
To Meet in Decisive Fray
Here Saturday Night

After much dickering, the River
sides, of this city, and the Michelins.
of Milltown, have agreed to meet on
the Auditorium court next Saturday
night. The "Tire-town" lads have
laid claim to the county champion
ship and one of their strongest argu-
ments was that they are on an even
stand with the city champions, hav-
ing won one and lost one in the SER
les with the locals up to the present
time.
The Michelins have trimmed every
thing else they have opposed about
the county and while they have not
played nearly as many games as the
Riversides. they have made themsel-
yes prominent factor in the race for
the championship of the county.
There has been no talk in the Riv-
erside camp about championship, but
it Is a cinch that the thoughts of the
city champions are eagerly and an
xiously centered upon such honors.
This is of course, quite natural"
The game between these two Mid
dlesex teams will no doubt have a
great bearing on the county cham
plouSulp race, WuicH is dL pieSeh'
confined between few teams, the Riv-
ersides being one and the Michelins
being another. An unusually large
crowd will accompany the Milltown
aggregation here Saturday night to
see their favorites in action while the
regular number of Auditorium pa
irons and many more fans from this
city will be on tap to see the battle
which will bear so much significance

New York's First Express Wagon.

letters the word Express The wagon
made its way up and down the thor
oughfare, to the wonder Of beholders,
Tho soon became curious to learn
what 1t meant Men came out Of their
stores and women leaned out Of the
windows to look at this ridiculous af-
fair. People Of that time were consid-
cred either lazy or proud who objected
to carry home the purchases they
made. A tale went the rounds that
woman customer of A. r. Stewart, the
dry goods merchant, had required him
to send home to her some insignificant
purchase she had made at his store
and that he had hired dray to do 1t.
sending the bill to her. In this he was
considered entirely justified. Hitherto

chance carrier who would so ont of

SECOND HALF ENDS 6 6

Two regular fifteen minute periods
were not sufficient to decide the VIM
ner in the game Saturday night in
Keyport between the lassies repre-
senting the Parish House, of Wood
bridge, and those of the Keyport high
school. The tally at the end of the
second administration was 6-6. 1t
was agreed to play until one Of the
squads scored two points. Soon after
this ruling was made, Miss Claire
Pfeiffer, who is one of the most ag-
gressive female players in these find
ings, introduced the pellet to the ring
for the deuce counter which brought
home the bacon.
Both teams worked in fine style
and the contest proved very inter-
esting one to thel arge crowd of eeffs1
thusiastic spectators. The playing
was fast at every moment during the
fray.
Miss Baldwin, of the victorious
band, performed in speedy and COM
mendable fashion as one Of the
Woodbridge guards. Miss Claire
Pfeiffer's scoring abilities did the
trick for the Parishers.

Bunk Allen and Harrigan
Arc Stars of OCCASION
Speedy Game.

Bristling with speed and spectacu-
lar playing, the game between the
Riversides, of this city, and the jack
sons, of New York, proved one of the
best Saturday night affairs In many
moons When the flag Of truce was
ordered to be raised my Referee Van
Mulchahey, the city champions had
annexed another victory to their long
string In the win column. And it
was by no means an easy matter for
them to cop the fray which helped
them climb the ladder of fame.
The final tally was 1915. A foul
gave the New York aggregation the
lead as soon as the fray commenced
but soon, field goals by Scott Burns,
McCreery, Dunham, and Allen. gave
the Riversides big lead which they
managed to hold until the initial ad-
Immigration was ended when the tai
ly read 16-4.
In the second i ,riod however, the
Jackscrs began working In machine
like tder and soon had put cut down
the lead Of the locals. But McCreery
recorded two field goals and two from
the foul line which along with one
free goal from the foul line by Wand
was all the scoring for the city cham
pions and incidentally was enough to
bring the locals across In triumphant
order.
For the first time in many weeks,
the Riversides met a crew whose
passing was equally as brilliant as
theirs. Harrigan, of the visitors, was
, especially a shark" at passing and
handling the pellet.
The guarding of the whole River
side team, however helped to break
up the passes as soon as they helped
the New York team approach their
own field goal Bunk" Allen work
ed In wonderful fashion playing the
ball to great advantage every time he
caught the sphere. He also held his
opponent scoreless while he made
the shreds whistle once. Captain Nc
Creery scored most for his team with
four field and three foul goals. Gull
Durham showed great improve
ment over his work of late and made
q shot while jumping against his op-
ponent, which brought forth appre'
citation from the large crew OF pa
irons. Scooter" Burns showed
speed and good work as a guard. He
also made a long spectacular shot
Rogers foul shooting for the vis-
itors was of the classy order. The
Jacksons outweighed the Riversides
noticeably but their weight did not
keep them from going at speedy
