BordentoWn's Event.

have been asked to write about the
historic pageant that we are going to
have in Bordentown, on the evenings
OF July 10, IL and II. We have been
doing all sorts of things in town for
war relief, such as inspiring the knit
/ ting in various towns in Burlington
county of 500 sets of sweaters, scarfs
and wristlets for the battleship New
Jersey. Of course we have been max
ing bandages and are sending them to
! France for the use of our soldiers who
may need them there, and then, on
Thursday of last week, was the Red
Cross drive which has the bright out
look of raising the 5000 that was ask
ed from Bordentown, but just at
present everyone is working heart and
soul for the pageant for this is to bring
US necessary funds for further war
work.
! Do YOU know that Bordentown on
the Delaware, is an unusually historic
spot? Do you know that Francis Hop
| kinson, one of the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence, lived in Bor-
dentown, in the historic house now
owned by Senator III. b. Wells? That
Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, Joseph,
when exiled, at the time when he was
1
made his home in Bordentown? And,
there are many others just as famous
who once lived in this small town,
| called Bordentown, but do you know
who they were?
| Elaborate preparations are being
made to portray these famous charac-
| ters in a historic pageant. Have you
any friends who revel in history? If
so, tell them about it and bring them
along. You must not miss it for any,
thing. Really, truly, direct descend,
ants Of the famous characters are to
take part. The great-great-grand-
daughter of Francis Hopkinson is COM
| ing from Philadelphia to participate.
Lineal descendants of Joseph Borden
and Thomas Farnsworth, earliest set
J tiers of the town, are to represent their
| forefathers.
| Special attention is given to costum-
ing and lighting effects. Careful and
extensive study of the history and of
modes of the periods are being made
by talented artists, the result of
which will be as surprising as spectacu-
lar.
So far l have told you only of nota-
bles of the past but there will be nota-
| bles OF the present too-Governor Edge
and hisstaff expect to come to the
pageant tomorrow.
You must surely keep one night free
and come to Bordentown for this great
event. The pageant will be given on
ground that was once part of the
famous Bonaparte estate, the birth
place of Ida Waugh, the greatest
miniature painter in our country, and
later this property was the home of
George Cromwell, the originator of the
travelogue and the predecessor Of John
l.. Stoddard and Burton Holmes.

Base Ball.

RoebliDg was here Saturday and, of
course, expected to repeat the perfor-
nance of the previous Saturday when
Florence carried off the honors, but the
expectation was not realized. Mount
Holly began work in the second inning
when Beaudry got a hit, but was
caught trying to get home. Shemelia
and F. Foulks got their bases through
the generosity of Roebling's pitcher
and came home on hit by Peacock.
In the fourth inning after Gallien
was put out on fly, Fahen reached
first on an error. Forbes sent the next
man to base on balls, which put Fahen
on second. Barton made a hit which
scored Fahen, but Barton was caught
at the home plate.
In the sixthinning Roebling's pitcher
went to pieces. He hit one man with
a pitched ball, sent three down on balls,
and then there was some hitting, all of
which Melted three runs and the game
ended with the score 5 to in favor OF
Mount Holly.
The score bY innings follows:
