Tells How She Missed Train.

Having missed my car, after max =
ing most strenuous efforts to catch
IL. I returned to the curb in COM
pany with a little miss who also
had been unfortunate.
In a few minutes another came
by. but. after stopping. the sleepy
conductor came to the realization
that it was crowded to overfowing
and ordered his motorman to pro-
ceed. NV young lady companion
after this second attempt to get
transportation informed me that she
was on her way to catch the 1910
train, to take her to her ailing
mother in the country.
After short wait. a summer car
meandered along anC responsive To
the CHEEKY. call of the alert con-
ductor, Here's a seat. lady" the
country-bound miss climbed aboard
and occupied a seat in far corner.
After considerable difficulty, be-
cause of lack of cooperation from
her neighbors. she managed to slip
forty cents to the collector and re-
ceive her tokens in exchange.

little fairy. In the early fall we

her name and address. and so for
four or fve years we exchanged
cards and greetings, despite the
fact we had never met each other.
BY that time I had been grad
uated from high school and struck
pretty fair job. In some way or
other she learned when my birth
day was and sent me a card. My
vacation was coming soon. so i
wrote and asked her IL / might

Island
MAY Be USED NIGHTS

Improvements are being made to the
three city bathing beaches preparatory
to their official opening next month. One
Of the beaches is in Pleasant Hill Park,
in the extreme northeast, while the
other two are at the navy yard.
The beach at Pleasant Hill Park was
opened in June last year. and the daily
attendance averaged 5000 persons. while
the Sunday totals sometimes reached as
high rs 10000. {ae,u
Improvements havUe., cen made to this
beach since last year and others are
planned. 4 retaining wall will be built
aleng the 4SO feet Of beach front and
the beach will be regarded. The park,
which covers an area Of about four
acres used chiefly by picnic parties,
will also be developed.
The new bathing beaches. costing
more than $3.50, 900. on the two large
lakes in League Island Park. work on
which was started more than fifteen
months ago. are among the finest mu.
nicipal beaches in the world. The lakes
are west Of Broad street. To make
them suitable for bathing purposes a
fill of 220. 900 cubic yards Of sand was
required. That brought themto maxi
mum depths Of seven and five feet, re-
spectively.
Two ornamental brick bathing or
locker houses were erected last winter.
one for the accommodation Of men and
boys, and the other for women and
children. At the present time 5000
lockers are being installed, and they

The contract price for the structures

$05 200.
What Is known az the West Lake Is
1900 feet long and $50 feet wide, and
the East Lake is 115O feet long and $50

for boating purposes, a large boathGuse

BRIDGE TENDER HURT
IN SAVING CHILDREN
10 TrampIed by Team Of Runaway
Horses at WestviIle

An unuuccessful attempt to stop a
runaway team Of horses late yesterday
caused Harry Becker, sixty mine years
old, tender Of the Westville Bridge
over Big Timber Creek and formerly
tollgate keeper at Gloucester. to suffer
a fracture of the skull, broken right
leg and other injuries. He is in Cooper
Hospital, Camden.
The team, hitched to a wagon, came
from the farm Of Henry Stanley, on
Browning's lane. The horses galloped
wildly toward the Westville Bridge,
upon which were several children. See.
ing the danger Of the children, Becker
grasped at the bride OF one of the
horses, but missed it and fell beneath
the feet Of the animals. The children
fed from the path Of the team, which
was halted about fifty yards beyond
the bridge by William Harker, who
lenped upon the back Of one Of the
horses.

DR.. RUssELL'S RECITAL
Princeton Music Director Plays
Organ at St. Clements

DR.. Alexander Russell, director Of
music at Princeton University and
concert director ut Wanamaker's in
New York. gave recital last evening
ia st. Clements Church, Twentieth
and Cherry streets, under the auspices
Of the Pennsylvania Chapter Of the
American Guild of Organists. There
was good sized audience present, and
the fine playing of the recitaiist was
much enjoyed.
DR.. Russell played a number Of i'm
portant compositions for organ, al
though the program was short. Among
the principal ones were a chorale by
Jongen. n grand chorus magnus Hos
annah by Dubois, being one Of set of
which the composer depicts cathedral I;
two choral preludes of Sebastian Bach,
an elaborate fantasie and fugue by
Archer Gibson, and the toccata from
Widor's fifth organ symphony. Among
the smaller numbers were pastorale Of
Corelli, the slow movement from the
Debussy string quartet, an Oriental
Sketch, by Arthur Bird. and DR.. Rus
sells own Song of the Basket Weaver,
from the st. Lawrence Sketches.
In his performance, DIR. Russell
showed thorough knowledge of the
capabilities Of the instrument. His
style is apparently modelled after that
of the great French organ ,virtuosi,
some of whom we have heard in this
city during the last two seasons, with
much of the tempermental unrest
typical Of virtuoso playing, but with
clarity of execution and a fine sense Of
tonal values In registration. There was
little of the usual exaggeration Of the
virtuoso in his performance and by his
fine work in the Debussy and WidOr
numbers, he showed that he is equally
at home in the lyric and the heroic
styles.
