Aquatic Notes.

A party of eight local canoeists took a
trip down the creek from New Lisbon on
Sunday stopping at Hartman's hotel,
Pemberton, and Birmingham Inn, for
lunch and dinner.
The Philadelphia gentleman who re-
Gently rented tract of land along the
upper creek in the rear of Shreve street
from F. o. Durand, has erected an at
tractive slab cabin there, which he occu-
pies week-ends.
The club house of the Ankokas Canoe
Club, on Mill street, is now in use, and
the members are rejoicing in at last hav-
ing home of their own; one without
any frills or furbelows, but which well
answers its purpose, and makes good
start toward better things. The space
beneath the building has been fitted up
with canoe racks, which, together with
a number of lockers, occupy the first
floor. The second story will be used as a
locker and meeting room. An incline
has been built from the rear of the
building to the race way, for convenience
in taking canoes to the water. This in.
cline will be lighted at night as soon as
the Public Service Corporation, which is
rushed with work preparing for the
change to day current in Mount Holly
is able to attend to it. AT meeting or
Thursday night twenty members drew
for locations in the club house, anC
more will follow.
Edward Hack is constantly receiving
canoes for storage from out-of-towr
owners who find the Rancocas creek fal
more preferable than the various streams
they have been using. Mr.. Hack re
Gently purchased the entire outfit o
Lewis Rushton, OF Haddon Heights, who
has given up canoeing, and added hi
two canoes to the livery list at his boa
house. Mr.. Rushton had one Of tn,
most complete outfits to be obtained
and for years before local people learned
to appreciate the charm of the creek, h,
was coming to Mount Holly. Before tn
new dam was built Mrs. Rushton and b.
would carry their outfit and canoes VI
the dry raceway until they reached tn
water, and spend days in camping. MI
Rushton was the first to camp at Oak
dale, an ideal site near Ewanville, wher
several members of the Ankokas Cano
Club now have log cabin. Other in
terests are responsible for Mr.. Rushton'
retirement from the canoeing field.

NEXT SATURDAYS GAMES
Mount Holly at Delanco.
Hainesport at Moorestown.
MedfOrd at Riverside
The surprise of the Central League
games on Saturday was the defeat OF
Delanco at Hainesport. 1t was an ex-
citing Thinning contest, with number
of fast, snappy plays. Both pitchers did
good work, but Cook seemed more effec-
tive at critical times. The Delanco
rooters became quite disorderly as the
game progressed and for time it looked
as if there would be free fight. Borden,
angered at decision of umpire Cham
bers, threw his bat at the latter, but for
tunately missed his mark. He was
ordered from the game.
Riverside won quite easily from Moores-
town, at Riverside. AS usual Moores-
town had one bad inning, during which
Riverside scored five runs. Seibold held
the visitors to four hits.
The game at Mount Holly was quite
interesting and close contest until near
the finish. For six innings it was any
body's game, but in the seventh and
eighth the home club tailed two runs
each, which cinched the result. Poor
base running by Mount Holly assisted
materially in keeping down the score.
Berner's pitching was very effective.
Both clubs played good ball with few
exceptions. Berner's long hit and a
double play, L. Gillian to J. Gillian,
were among the features.
Donaghy, who has been out of the
game on account of an injured wrist, is
to be in his position at second
base next Saturday, which will again
put the infield in good condition.

The Carnival.

The committees and persons interested
in the arrangements for the Fourth Of
July celebration on the upper creek, met
at Good Intent engine house last night
to close this years account, and consider
plans for next year. The report OF the
treasurer, Nelson Dew. Pumyea, showed
deficiency of $55.85. This amount will
have to be raised in some way. The
deficit is caused by the failure of some OF
the sources Of income to yield the re-
turn expected, and cannot be construed
as an evidence of mismanagement on
the part of those in charge. Had the
day been hot the increased sales of ice
cream and soft drinks would have more
than made up the shortage, judging by
the experience of former years.
AS the celebration is practically town
affair, and is financed by contributions
from the general public, it is entirely
proper that the contributors should know
how their money was spent, and treas
urer Pumyea's report follows:

Political Notes.

Rumors have been in the air of with
drawals from the race for nominations
and of dark horses" that would be
trotted out before the starting bell
sounds. So there seems to be something
to look forward to.
The story has been circulated that Ell.
wood Hart was about to get out of the
race for the Democratic nomination fol
Sheriff, and Butch 'said yesterday that
he had withdrawn from the contest.
DOC" Glasgow was in town last week
looking after his fences. He is still con-
tident that he is the proper man for the
Democrats to nominate for county clerk.
His offer to take the stump and compare
his record with that of the other candi-
dates has not been accepted thus far
doc" says possibly they have not any
records they wish to make public.

cocas Park for the benefit Of the carnival
fund, the date of which will be an
nounced as soon as arrangements can be
made with the Park management.
II any persons who may have been
overlooked by the soliciting committee
feel that they would like to assist in de-
fraying the expenses, their contributions
will be received at this Office or at Du-
bells drug store. 1t is not the intention
of the committee to personally solicit
further help. The people of Mount Holly
were given an enjoyable celebration, and
if they are content to let the young
people who arranged the affair go down
into their pockets tomeet the deficiency,
there will not be SO much enthusiasm
when the next carnival day comes.

TO AID VESSEL
DISABLED OFF
CALIFORNIA

San Luis Obispo. Cal, Dec. 1o.--The
liners Harvard and Bear are rushing
to the assistance of the passenger
steamer Centralia, which is anchored
five miles south of Point Arguella
light, on the California coast, north
OF the Santa Barbara islands. The
Centralia's machinery is disabled and
a strong southerly wind has been
threatening to drive her ashore.
The first wireless call for helm from
the Centralia was picked up by the
radio station at Point ArgueIla at 3
A. M. 1t asked the operator to tell
the steamer Aroline to come as fast
as she can and to try TO get some
nearer boat in the meantime
The liner Harvard reported at 8.
M. from a position off Point Arguella
that she was going to the steamers
assistance.
The Centralia, wooden vessel of
4s1 tons, is bound from Los Angeles
for San Francisco. The number of
passengers aboard is not known.
The coast in the neighborhood OF
Point Arguella is dangerous and the
south winds add TO the vessels peril.
