WEST ORANGE chill DREN
APPEAR IN FOLK DANCES

Girls of the lower grades of the
West Orange public schools took part
in the folk dances held last night
under ELECTRIC light at the Jenkins
Playground.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
people, including relatives of the
performers, were in attendance, and
great deal of admiration and sur
prise was excited by the novel ex-
hibition. The girls costumes al
though varied. were for the most part
inexpensively constructed of cheese
cloth, while music for the dances was
furnished by the somewhat unusual
combination of clarinet, cornet and
drum. The whole affair was under
the direction of Miss Grace Smith,
assisted by Miss Mae Duffy.

Here's what Carey says: captain
Fred Nelson had dropped the anchor

Juggling and subsequent breaks made
us realize something was wrong. In

emptied several barrels at the sharks.
Those that weren't killed swan to

FINALLY DISAPPEARING

The fence was erected about eight
years ago at the behest of the Road
Horse Association. From that time
until almost the present Irvington
has fought for its removal because
the impenetrable barrier cut the
southerly portion of the town in
halves. Last year the Legislature
turned the speedway over to the Els

street crossing. Subsequently the
fence was torn down at various
points to allow for more street open
ings. Now the entire fence is being
