BRIDGE READY
SEPTEMBER |
Another Change Made by
State Engineers in Date for
Finish of Repair Work

TRENTON, Aug. 12.-Thomas ].
Wasser, state highway engineer, has
announced that the Perth Amboy
bridge will likely not be open for
traffic before September /. He
made this statement after being ad-
vised by Charles A. Mead, bridge
engineer of both the highway and
public utility departments. that the
new plates for the structures repair
will not arrive from Philadelphia
before next Monday.
Wasser's announcement Is i'm
portant to all users of Route No.
of the state highway system, as the
bridge which connects Perth Amboy
and South Amboy lis an important
link in this route, which is the di-
rect line from Railway to the sea-
shore points.
Closed Long While.
The. announcement that the state
bridge between this city and South
Amboy will not be open until
September 1. is another setback to
motorists and others desiring to use
the bridge, and who were banking
their hopes on the bridge being ready
for use this week, as originally an
nounced by the officials in charge of
the work. The structure was closed
at noon on July 81. after men had
been working on the draw for short
time, while it was still open to traffic.

RATED FASTEST
RIDERS IN CITY.
Weir has been directing the Indian
apolis cycle races for a number of years
and he picked the FIVE men who will
ride at Terre Haute as the fastest pedal
pushers in the city.
Gerlach, PROBABLY the fastest of the
five, won The Times derby on the River
side park course sunday, Aug. 1. He
showed good form in that event ana
should make the Terre Haute speed
merchants show a lot of stuff to pass
Lin Sunday.
Art Caseber finished less than two
fifths of a second behind Clarence Wag
ner of Terre Haute to win second time
prize and third place prize in The Timet
derby, and Henry Price rode CaSeber's
lear wheel across the finish line Tor
third time position.
Kirk spilled on the back stretch in
the big race after he had started his
march to the front Frankhouse, one of
the best, riders ever turned out here, has
not raced this year, but he has been in
constant training and will no doubt be
among the leaders at Terre Haute.

at Sunday, because the member Of the
local team making the best showing will
be sent to Chicago on Labor day to com
pete in the fifteen mile Franklin Derby.
Chicago's biggest cycle event of the year.
This added attraction will spur the In
dianapolis riders on and they should get
away with a big share of the prizes.
Weir believes that each of them will
have a good chance to finish in front.

Gleason against the booing he was re-

are expected to have an easy time, out
the wrestlers will run against some stlH
competition from the Greeks and Italians.
The American fencers also are expect.
