SO members present An interest
ing report OF the lecturers confer
ence held at Bangor last week, was
given by our lecturer. Cora Estes.
Fred Davis kindly offered the Grange
the use of his hall in the upper story
of his fine new block on Warren So.
Needless to say this offer was quick
" and gladly accepted and within
few weeks the Grange will be in
stalled in commodious. comfortable
quarters. In spite of their terrible
loss by fire last Wednesday morning,
everyone seems optimistic for the tu-
ture. The true Grange spirit pre-
walls and everyone in the Grange and
outside, appears willing and anxious
10 do all they can to help.
The volunteer program was beyond
all expectations There were thir-
ty-three numbers consisting OF read
ings, stories. songs and Instrumental
selections, followed by an old fash
toned spelling match. After Grange
treat of corn balls and homemade
candy was served Next Saturday
evening the meeting will be held in

loss was nj least 10000. but only
$4,000 insurance

Two games are scheduled to be
played by the Perth Amboy high
school baseball representatives this
week. This afternoon on the Rari-
tan Copper Works diamond the
Crimson and White is being opposed
by the Leonardo high school nine,
reputed to be n of the crack sea-
shore teams this year. On Friday
afternoon on the local diamond the
State street players will have Bound
Brook as an opponent.
This afternoons clash is the first
one scheduled with any high school
and the comparative strength of the
locals can be gathered from the re-
suit, Leonardo. according TO re-
ports. has not been defeated as yet
this season and has visions Of con-
tinuing the streak at the expense of
Coach Waddell's outfit. In previous
years the Monmouth aggregation has
been a hard u to crack.
Those who saw the new Crimson
and White team last week are of the
opinion that the team of this year
will be one OF the strongest 10 ever
represent this city in the interscho-
lastic field. Not so long ago the
scholastic mines put ont at the local
school were always considered as be-
ing of championship calibre and al

For the first time in nearly a de-
cade the Perth Amboy high school
will take part with other New Jer-
sey high schools In dual track meets,
according to an announcement
made today by Nat Cohen. manager
Of the local Crimson and White
track squad.
The following are the meets ar
ranged by Manager Cohen:
May 5-Rutgers Prep school at
New Brunswick.
May 17-Battin high school at
Weequahic Park, Newark.
May S0-American Legion meet
at Copper Works field.
June 2-State championships at
New Brunswick.
June 16-County championships
at New Brunswick.
There will the annual interclass
meet in this city and the manager
also has many meets pending with
some Of the leading schools IN
North Jersey and New York state.
From the schedule issued it IS
seen that there are no home meers
except the Legion meet which will
be held on the industrial field. The
necessity of a home field is again
brought out as all the meets are
away from home and local fans will
be given but little opportunity to
see the Amboy barriers in action.
The following list of events have
been decided upon for the dual
meets: 100 yard junior and senior.
220 yard senior. 440 yard dash. $50
