Sunday Meetings
for Boys Resumed At

AS next Sunday is the first Sunday
in September. Secretary Frank B.
Condor has arranged for a resump-
ton of the regular "Y' meetings for
boys at the building of the Augusta
Y. NJ. C. A. on Winthrop street.
There will be a speaker of interest
who will be announced later, and
who will bring a special message to
the boys, and at this time plans will
also be formulated for the continue
ton of such get-togethers for the
coming fall and winter.
Last year these meetings proved
their worth. many local youngsters
taking advantage of the offerings
provided at these times, and getting
a lot of benefit from them. If suffi-
cient interest is manifested during
the next few months, the meetings
will continue and be a regular thing
at the "Y'' building each Sunday I'M
til another spring. The first meeting
will begin promptly at o'clock
Sunday afternoon and every boy is
cordially invited to be on hand.

HUNTERS ALLOWED
TO SHOOT RAILS

The first day of September marks
but one change in the game laws of
the State that will be of interest to
local hunters. This is found in the
paragraph of the laws providing that
open season on rails may begin Sept
!, with the exception of the Merry
meeting district, and may continue
until midnight of the 31st day of Jan
uary. For the benefit of the uninitia
ted. rail is wading bird structur-
ally related to the cranes. but much
smaller ms iZc having short rounded
wings, q short tail, and usually very
long toes which enable it to run on
the soft mud of swamps.
A closer reading of the laws, how
ever. reveals that the time is less than
two weeks away when sportsmen may
start out after duck, for the laws give
the start of the open season as Sept
10th on ducks. brant and geese. coots,
gallinules. and jacksnipes. With the
opening of the bird season, the brook
"trouting" ends for the year. for on
Sept. Is closed time goes into effect

Junior Tennis Tournament
Apparently a Certainty

Considerable interest is being man
ifested just now among local tennis
enthusiasts relative to a proposed jun
ior tennis tournament which is not
only under consideration but at the
present time seems highly probable.
Physical Director r. NJ. Sanborn of
the Augusta Y. NJ. c. A. has got the
bee in his bonnet and is willing to
conduct a program for such an af-
fair. Mr.. Sanborr said yesterday
that in all probability the proposed
matches would be played off some
time next week if things turned out
as planned There arc a lot of young
men between the ages of II and 81
who would be eligible, and who are ex
ceedingly anxious to make name
for themselves on local courts. Also.
there are several excellent courts in
the city just fitted for the pulling
off of such tournament. and if Mr..
Sanborn can find the right amount of
interest it is safe to predict that
things will develop rapidly. 1t is
now up to individual players to get
into the game and let Mr.. Sanborn
know the real sentiment prevailing
Time is short, and the tournament
will have to be finished before the
schools and colleges open.
