1 - y N~~ASAAe
From the arrangements which are under
way, the people of Mount Holly and vi
cinity can depend on having pleasant
time at the county seat, providing the
weather man gets into the game and re-
mains with the crowd until the day il
over.
This refers especially to the regatta and
carnival which Is to be held on the upper
creek at the bungalow of the Early Risers
Club on the Fourth Of July under the au.
spices of the Ankokas Canoe Club.
Reports received from the various COM
mittees show a manifest interest In the
affair, which will be given on a larger
scale this year. Contrary to the belief
which some people entertained, the event
Is not of private character but open to
any person wishing to purchase tickets.
to be obtained of the committee only, and
which are given to persons who assist
with contributions or donate prizes.
The object of this affair is not to make
money, but to assist in having sane eel
one reason why the movement is receiY-
ing public support, as the money neces-
sary to cover certain expenses must come
in this way.
On Tuesday night the township COM
mittee was waited upon and the details
OF the programme fully explained. The
members saw that there was nothing ex-
elusive about the affair and willingly APP
propriated small sum toward the pur-
chase of fleworks, which display will be
free to the public, and all are invited to
the grounds In the evening when the gates
will be open. The lot on which the fire.
works will be set of, is large enough to
accommodate all who may wish to be
present. The fact that the pyrotechnic
display is to be held at a safe distance
will somewhat relieve anxiety of proper
ty owners.
This is the third carnival year and
there is evidence of the fact that interest
In the occasion is growing. The bunga
low grounds are limited, but to relieve
any congestion this year the fence is to
be taken down and chairs placed along
Hulme's cove. The whole adjoining field
will be thrown open to guests, from which
point all the regatta contests and the car
nivai parade can be seen.
1t has been arranged that canoes shall
form one class In the carnival and boats
and floats another. In each of these classes
there will be three prizes, SO, S. and 81 so
In gold, with fourth and fifth prizes of
valuable articles.
A road will be completed, extending
from the saw mill basin to the bungalow
grounds, and this path will be well light
ed at night. This feature is for the ben
eft of travel and for use of wagons and
automobiles
Valuable prizes have been offered to
owners Of canoes, who are urged to deco.
rate and swell the Illuminated pageant,
which promises to be an exhibition of
beauty. People leaving the grounds at
night are advised to take the new road to
Pine street, which will be perfectly safe
A dangerless Fourth of July will be
generally appreciated by all and this is
what the carnival is intended to accom-
plish. The committee has received quite
a number Of entries for this feature.
The committee on music find that the
band they wanted cannot be secured on
account of having been engaged to play
elsewhere on the Fourth. Negotiations are
being made to secure large orchestra. .
People recognize that the regatta and
carnival form an interesting day of clean
sport that is being generally encouraged.
1t is entertaining to large degree, and
the events are conducted on a stream
which furnishes some of the most beau
tiful of nature scenes.
Members of the Ankokas Canoe Club
will give dance at Rancocas Park on
June II. The tickets are 81. Any profit
that might be made from this venture
will be added to the carnival fund.
Tickets for the dance are on sale at Du-
BELLS drug store.
The refreshment committee is waiting
to see who will be the first farmer, on the
morning of July 4th, to donate forty
quart can of milk, which may be left at
Dubell's drug store.
The various committees will get togeth-
er tomorrow night at the Good Intent
engine house, and there will be a club
meeting at the bungalow next Monday
night.
