pulled along over the lake at a ter
rife rate. AS the boat speeds, the
plane hobs up and down like buck
ing bronco, and this is how the name
originated, "riding" a plane. Some
riders become SO expert that they
can stand erect going at daring
speed, and do not fall off. 1t requires
long practice to master the art of
plane riding, and even the most skill
full take tumble now and then.
The fall is nothing easy to take, as
coming unawares sometimes the
rider nearly has his teeth Jared out
on striking the water SO hard. When
the fall comes the motor boat stops,

up with the plane, takes hold, then
as the speed is accelerated, he pulls

Jumps Off Wagon
To Assault Man

Late Tuesday night a wagon ad-
vertising a barn dance of the First
Ward Neighbors' Sons of West Hobo
ken came down Washington street,
Hoboken. When it was between
First and Second streets it was seen
to pull up to the curb and a man jump
off the seat and struck another man
who was on the sidewalk.
Immediately after this the wagon
pulled away rapidly. A citizen who
was passing saw the PROSTATE form
of a man lying on the sidewalk and
summoned help. Word was also sent
to police headquarters, and Detec-
tive-Sergeant McClaughry was as
signed to the case. The man who
had been struck was taken to St.
Mary's Hospital by DR.. Venick, who
said the victim was suffering from
a confusion of the brain and was I'M
conscious.
Starting to work on very meagre
description Of the mans assailant,
such as tall, thin man, Detective
McClaughry left headquarters. He
learned of the barn dance and went
to West Hoboken and with the aid of
the police there learned that the man
he was after was a fellow named
Dutch"
The detective went to "Dutch's'
home and after awakening the man

of foliage that makes it as inviting
as imagination could wish. Then the
rocks are all around everywhere
lining the shore and adding to it's
picturesque beauty. Here are the
Palisades, huge walls of gray, moss
grown granite like the Hudson, that
stand out in places like small Glib
raltars, embellishments that nature
studded there to lend added charms
and that stand out like castles on the
sloping hillsides.
There are hundreds of cottages on
every side of Hopatcong. On the
east bank is the big hotel, the Bres-
lin, which is parked with winding
walks, fountains and flower beds
right down to the waters edge, where
floating docks invite the visitor who
may lean to boating or bathing; for
both are at their maximum charm in
Hopatcong. The boating is superb,
and bath in the limped waters is
a Ihsreshing touch of genuine de-
On the eastern shore, also, are the
homes of many prominent men of
wealth, some of them magnificent and
costly types of architecture that
would grace city, The great gray
walls of the rockingham home, rise
like beautiful castle, still forming
the chief architectural attraction of
Hopatcong. This home has many
tragic memories, not the least of
which is the saddened life of the
widow of it's former master whose
home is now in Palisade. 1t is a
veritable summer palace.

Col. Elisha Dyer, has a magnificent
home on this side of the lake, and
there, too, is the fine Hopatcong
Yacht Club, as picturesque a sum-
mer club house as can be named. 1t
| is finished inside and out with natural
wood, the interior effect being espe-
cially beautiful. There is one large
main assembly room in the center,
with square-domed ceiling at least
fifty feet high. From this hang a
number of electroliers made of
large ship anchors, each about seven
feet long, on which the electric
lights are strung. Another electro
lier is made of ships large steering
wheel, with the lights fastened on
the rim and spokes.
There are wide veranders all
around the yacht club buildings, and
flower beds on the land side. In the
height of the season there are all
kinds of aquatic races on the lake
including power boats, sail boats
row boats, etc.
The newest sport there, however,
is plane riding, in which a long
thick board, ten feet long, twenty
inches wide and two inches thick,
is pulled along by a high-powerec
motor boat. The sport consists OF
standing on this board holding to
rope reins while the boat is going al

himself to his knees, then grabs the
rope reins, and gets to his feet if
he can! Those who have enjoyed
this new sport speak of it as the
most dashing and celebrating sport
ever invented. Our party greatly
enjoyed seeing this chap go through
his stunts of riding his aquatic
bronco.
l learned that a young New Or
leans boy, John Ewing, can ride a
plane at twenty-five miles an hour,
standing erect, arms outstretched,
the reins on the board. This must
be an extraordinary feat indeed
We saw the homes of Rex Beach,
the writer, and Hudson Maxim, the
inventor.
Commodore J. Guyon Clarke, our
skipper, says Hopatcong is just be-
ginning to be known. It's great
beauty must draw thousands of
summer residents before many years.

Hopatcong's Glories
Enjoyed By The
"Palisadian" Fart,

Lake Hopatcong has had it's finest
season this year. The reputation of
this famous summer resort is spread
ing. 1t deserves to. AS place en-
dowed with the most lavish gifts of
nature, it is perfection itself, sort
Of ideal spot picked for the happi-
ness of man. Hopatcong is a bit be-
yond fifty miles from Palisade, not
as the crow flies, but as the road
wind.
Some days ago "The Palisadian'
man made the trip by auto. Two
to two hours and a half would be
good time on the average, with good
roads. But at present all New
Jersey is in the throes of road build
ing, and things are topsy turvey
everywhere. A good way to go to
Hopatcong would be by Morristown,
but the roads are bad from there on
to the lake. Go by Boonton, and be-
fore getting to this point there is a
detour around by way of Everywhere
that is the -taker. 1t is a wind

find on the road to H-e-double-q.
Then on to Dover over only medi-
UNI roads. And from Dover to Ho-
patcong the old state road is now so
badly worn it is no longer a happi-
ness.
But these miseries will all soon be
over in few weeks, perhaps, and are
forgotten when one gets to the lake.
The western drive around Hopat-
cong is now newly graded, much
improved roadway, and the season
has found the addition greatly ap-
preciated.
A short rest at the j. Guyon

direction and dotted at every brink

Many farmers throughout Ontario
have erected fine steel truss barns
this year, and have moved away
there crops at less expense and with
greater ease than in former years.
The steel truss barn has no cross
timbers, which does away with lift
ing loads to the roof before swing
ing in over the NOV, and at the
same time allows of one-third more

Gardening is taught in connection

C's mind when one morn
ing he saw Mr.. BIS robin
take the cherry and fly to
his nest with it. Mr.. C
greatly angered, sent Mr..
B a bill for $7.49 for the
cherry. Mr.. B was in

lieve that his tenants were
robbers. "No" said Mr.. B
"My tenants never stole
your cherry. They are not
vegetarians: They only
eat worms"
"Well they may not be
vegetarians," replied Mr..
C, "but they are also not
tee-totalers inasmuch as
they did take my cherry"

found in Mr.. BIS yard Mr..
B was convinced but re-
fused to pay $7.49.

strawberries instead" said
Mr.. B. "Fine," answered
Mr.. C. So they journyed to
