painting of William Dunlap, the
famous artist, which is valued at
many hundreds of dollars is also
on exhibition. A photograph of the
Buchanan house, now the present
site of the American building,

who remembered it.
The great hailstorm on June 90,
1906, when hailstones with a diane
ter Of "a inches rained. is also

in 1854 and the other in 1928, show

other successful freeholder candi-
date is also said to be a Cannon
man.
In the city election, John X.
Sheehy for mayor. whose candidacy
was Not contested, is a Cannon man
and one of his most loyal supporters.
For candidate for alderman in the
first ward, Edward L.. Hardiman,
won out over w. E. Olsen. In this
ward every effort was made by the
City Democratic Club to put Olsen
over. it is said. However, Hardi-
man, who is an out and out Gan
non man., was the successful candi-
date by a large majority.
In the fifth ward, John j. Clark,
n Of the hardest fighters for Gan
non in the city. was successful over
Joseph +. Maloney who received the
support of the City Democratic
Club. Mr.. Maloney announced yes
terday that he is out for Clark and
will do all in his power to further
his election.
A contest that was of particular
interest in the election was that for
county committeeman in the second
district of the second ward. the con-
testants being Louis P. Booz. Jr.,
and John White. White has long
been a committeeman in this dis
| trict and is listed as a strong Can

Total .........1776 1891 5757

The registration to date is 610 less
than the combine registration of the
first two days in 1921. Thus far only
5,757 Perth Amboy voters have reg
istered, whereas last year 6,367 had
performed this duty at the close OF
the primaries.
The total registration last year was
1912, this figure representing the
number of Perth Amboy residents
qualified TO vote. In order to come
Rp to this figure this year it will be
necessary to get out 3,215 more vot-
ers at the last registration day In
October. The registration day last
year resulted in 2,605 last minute"
voters being registered. Unless h
candidates and active party workers
are unusually active in getting the
voters interested enough to have
them register in October. 1t seems
likely that a small vote will be cast
in Perth Amboy at the November
election.

Abandoned by Native Brig

LONDON. Sept. 2S-"Below us

diles. Would we float near enough
to ground our inverted top hamper
aud signal some one ashore, or risk
swimming for it? Then our hopes
were shattered, for an u~ndercurrent
caught our submerged planes and
fuselage, and faster than we could
near the land, we were pulled away
from it. Quickly it faded and u
hopes sank. We were utterly help
