This City And Section
Along Shore Get Sight
OF Big DirigibIe ZR-3
Flies from New York, Passing
Near TottenvilIe and
Over MataWan

Thousands of residents in this
city and vicinity were disappointed
this morning by their failure to
catch glimpse of the history maxi
ing Zeppelin, ZR-3. when it sailed
down the eastern coast of Staten
Island en- route to its hangar at
Lakehurst. The heavy haze early
this morning made it impossible for
many to see the airship although
they knew 1t had been sighted as
big salute was being sounded by
factory whistles as the giant craft
slipped quickly past.
The dirigible spent considerable
time sailing over New York and
shortly before 9 o'clock word was
received here that it was heading
south for Lakehurst Many took
positions at points of vantage but
the heavy mist made 1t impossible
to see very clearly. The craft sailed
down the Narrows and lower bay,
passing over Keyport and only a
small percentage of those looking
for it in this city were able to see it.
Shortly after the airship had
passed word was received from
Lakehurst that it had been sighted
there and it was only little while
later that she had safely landed
amid the cheers of thousands.

Goal Is Passed BY I18
800 Men and Women Men,
bers Reported Last Night
SO, 1870 Also Secured

The arrival of the ZR-3 in this
country early this morning will go
down in aviation history as one of
the most important steps in the de-
yelopment of transportation, but the
feat performed this year by the
twenty airplanes and lone dirigible
in the round the world membership
flight will go down in the annals of
the Y. M. c. A. as one of the great
est accomplishments in the history
of that organization.
The annual membership campaign
held this year in the form of an
air race around the world with
twenty planes participat.Ig-was a
success, even more SO than last
years, the total number of members
reported last night being 1,21S
which was 118 over the goal of LOO
set by the officials. before the race
began. Last years campaign netted
1,159 members which was SO less
than the number secured last week.
There will be other memberships
added to the total during the week
as many prospects could not be seen
as they were out of town at the time.
The official close of the race was
last night. however, and announce
ment that every plane had succeed
ed securing It's quota was the signal
for an enthusiastic demonstration.
The women set out to get 500
members and reported 535 as COM
pared to 514 secured by them last
year. The mems goal was 500 and
6S3 were secured, 38 more than last
year. The reports of the first two
meetings of the campaign were con-
siderably lower than those of last
year and the chances of putting the
campaign over were not any too
bright as 450 members were needed
last night to reach the 100 goal.
Instead of just reaching the 450
mark the workers reported 566
members, the result of conscientious
work. over the weekend by the
crews.
Although every worker did his
share in putting the campaign across
and many worked as hard for the
few members they reported as did

SHENANDOAH HALTED
BY GALES ON COAST

SAN DIEGO Calf. Oct. Is (By
The Associated Press) ).-Gales in
the Pacific northwest reaching a
velocity as great as 80 miles an hour
today held the navy dirigible Shen-
andoah manacled to her mooring
mast here until tomorrow morning
at the earliest.
In making his announcement of
postponement. Lieutenant Comman-
der Zachary Lansdowne. commander
of the ship. said that the Shenan-
doah had nothing to fear In any
storm encountered in the air but
that she had one important mission
to fulfill. to let the citizens of the
Pacific coast see her.
In the air the Shenandoah would
become part of the air current with
which she travelled. A storm might
affect ner speed in relation TO the
ground but would not affect the ship
itself. as she would move with the
particular air territory in which she
happened to be. backward or for
ward. but always with ease and
safety. A head wind might delay
her. gale hold her stationary or a
terrific gust force her astern. but
the only result would be that she
would be late in reaching her des-
tination.
Air charts last night showed a
chain of three storms lowering about

that upon leaving San Diego tomor-
row the dirlgihle would be able tol

REGISTRATION
BREAKS RECORD
Over 1900 Gain Here-In-
crease in All Parts of
the County

As was expected the 1924 general
election registration figures exceed
those of last year by a large mar
gin, the 4,203 who went to the polls
yesterday to register boosting the
city's total registration this year to
II, 1926. This is 1885 more than last
year and 2,578 more than the regis
tration at the last presidential elee-
ton, which was held In 1920.
The total Registration in Perth
Amboy last year was 1891 and it was
generally believed that the 10000
mark would be well passed this year.
but few anticipated such a big regis
tration. the present total bordering
on the 1900 mark.
Perth Amboy is not alone in hay-
Ing greatly increased registration
as New Brunswick yesterday regis
more than this city, boosting the
county seats total registration this
year to 1885. This is an increase
2.335 over last year in New Bruns-
wick and more than 1900 higher
than the registration at the 1920
presidential election in the county
seat.
There are three more polls in
Perth Anboy this year than there
were last year as a result of the
heavy 1923 vote and present indica-
tions are that several more polls will
be added next year If the workers in
both parties succeed in getting a
large percentage of those who have
registered to go to the polls on elec-
ton day and vote.
The sixth ward has more register
ed voters than any other district, the
total votes there representing more
than one-quarter the total number
in the city. A number of the polls
have more than 500 registered, the
