C. games a t Travers Island last Saturday w ith a handicap of 13 seconds. The man who defeated him had a 48-second handicap. Ralph Samet will open a fvrnishing goods store at 13 Railroad Ave. S a tur day evening of this week. This is the building formerly occupied by the South Side Messenger and Alurray Bros. The closing event of the season for the South Shore Yacht Club was the annual beefsteak dinner at the Club House last Saturday evening. The dinner was accompanied by good m u s ic, and singing by a colored quartet and afterw a rds there was music for dancing. Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur services are being helds by the Jewish congregation in Brooklyn Hall during their holidays. The first service was Wednesday evening, and services are held this Friday, Oct. 8, morning. N e x t week services will be held Fri day evening and Saturday. Roy D Pearsall, secretary of Free port Lodge of Elks, has been be queathed about $18,000 in real and personal property by an aunt, who died in New York. In the bequest are many antique pieces of furniture, and about twenty art prints, made in Eng land in 1792; also, a dining room table, which belonged to Patrick Henry. —Observer. other places where sharks are either ; infrequent or o f comparatively size. Sharks practically live on haden. Wherefore, the deduction Is that if the menhaden were off this coeet at all the sharks would be aftei; them instead of trying to eke oat living by whet they can pick op in shore. That sounds reasonable. The other reason for thinking th a t the menhaden “ have clean gone aw ay,” is th a t the reddish substance floating on the surface, and upon which they seem to feed, has seldom been seen by the lookouts a t the mastheads on the fishing schooners. Where that is, menhaden are usually to be found, but it has not been there this year. What a menhaden does feed upon is a mooted point among fishermen. He rushes through the w a ter in schools that num ber millions, in an apparently aimless manner, but gets there just the same, and gets fat and oily and profitable, despite his lack of teeth. The fishermen say that periodically the menhaden disappear, but they come back the next season. About twenty- five or thirty years ago, there was season sim ilar to that of 1913, and about every five or six years, there are catches far below the normal, but the big get-aways come at long^intervals Herring and other schooling fish havi a sim ilar habit of vacating at uncer- of the dumb creatures who cannot ans- ate was that the catch so- far— the sea- wer us or resent the misery which is g0n beginning around June 1—was so often needlessly inflicted upon them. , 300,000,000 fish shy of the normal. a Bllllllnl llaul ul John Bright.

As a m a tter of fact Mr. M cKeever’s figures in money for the number of fish should be shaded up to $1,600,000, and the total, based upon the opinions of other fishermen, is more probably $2,000,000. That is not all. The factories sell to the real==, manufacturers,..ouu.ow those, who farm e r, and fre quently too strong for average farm purposes. The m anufacturers dilute one ton of chum into three or four tons of the ordinary fertilizer of commerce, using Charleston rock or other sub stances, according to the kind desired. Thus those menhaden, by s taying away from the delights of A tlantic City and vicinity had cut about 88,000 tons of commercial fertilizer out of the trade. It should be mentioned th a t the catch up to date has been only about one-sixth of the normal. As an evidence of how scarce the fish are it is said that the Promised Land fleet on the Long Island coast, which numbers twenty-odd boats, has only four now-at sea, while most of the other fleets have entirely quit, as they were w a sting wages and coal looking for fish that were not there. Are the fish further out at sea, twenty-five, thirty or forty miles? The fishermen think not, for two rea Freeport will play Brooklyn Prep., I sons.

We call the attention of Bro. Fos- mire to the fact th a t it is against the postal law to publish the result of any drawing, and th a t he is liable to have his paper thrown out of the mails for publishing items of this kind. As we have said before, the law is more or less of a farce, and so far as we can find out, no attem p t is made to enforce it, but i t is a law just the same, and the offender lays himself liable to punishment. Dependable Drugs and Sundries Oar constant effort is to make this store a store where the idea of quality is at all times paramount. In some lines of business there may be good reasons for having a variety oil grades—not so in the drug line. When drugs are needed only the best will do. Anything less than the best is dangerous. We carry this principle of quality throughout onr entire stock. In some lines, like brushes, we have goods at a' variety' of prices but each is the best grade to be had at the price, and in addition to the usual assortment, we carry the finer grades which cannot be fonnd in the ordin ary store.
