This has been for aeveral years the worst stretch of public highway in County, and for months Landis Township Committee, County Good Roads .Association and other have urged the Freeholders to do something. The road forms the connecting link of good roads from to Cape Mai and the other seaahore resorts of Cape May County. A-* number of petitions were read at meeting today, and the Landis Committee agreed to assist in building the road and keeping it in repair.— Press dispatch. President 'Haynes, of the Board of has made several visits to various sections of Cumberland County secure tbe interest of the people there in this project and the Board of Trade passed resolutions to the Board of Freeholders of Cumberland, requesting their attention. This is 'at one of the influences which induced the action recorded above. Tbe completion of this system of roads is of great importance to. Oape May and to Oape May Ooanty, since it makes a direct .route to Cape May County, entirely independent of the route used to .Atlantic, City, and a much more picturesque and attractive one, passing through a number of .interesting cities and towns.

McO ANN'S PUBLIC SPIRIT Q John J. McCann, proprietor of the Auditorium, is one of our most public f spirited citizens and deeply interested 0 in the proceedings of the Board of Trade, particularly in the work of ita base .ball committee. Last season be f presented a canvas screen which cost ^ him about $60, for the partial enclosure of tbe grounds, which proved very t valuable to the team. This year he supplied tbe] Auditorium] concert ball e together with ita lights, heat, decoration, etc, for the use of the Board of j Trade during the many nights required a for practise in preparation for the Minstrel Show and also for the two a nights upon which the show was preh sen ted. This represented a considerable outlay of money and .shows a practical Interest in the welfare of the 'j | city. The two Board of Trade band , queta, the first given at the expense of r ! Charles L. Brownmiller and the second j by subscription of those who participated, both for the purpose of "boosting" the resort, McCann supplied them at coat and handsomely decorated his dining hall. He also presented a £ beautiful banner inscribed ' Booster's Olub." If all other business men were to display tbe same interest, Oape May could have anything it wanted. R H ALLEY'S COMET y la in truth a mighty wonder, but it is ,t not to be compared with the Vacuum e Cleaner for cleaning rags, carpets and l8 upholstered furniture. It is not neoese sary to tear a house to piceee in order a to remove the dirt as Vacuum cleaning n is mnch more thorough than clubs, betides it does not stir ap any dost. One dollar will hire it for a days and . twenty rooms could be cleaned in that * time. Oall O. A. Swain on the 'phone and let him tall yon more about it.

CAPE HAY HIGH LANDS ATLANTIC BINES-SHIELDS STAR BATTERY Qaartet of lafielders Accept laa; Bar* Quires-Nichols Palis OK Feature Fielding Staat "Take your time, friend of mine, your time, Augustus. Hinea 1" Thoee wore the words of encouragement sang by a coterie of young ladies in the stand. that floated aoftly serosa tne diamond and greeted tbe wavering Gua in the sixth inning when he nad plunged himself into tne tightest hole of the game and was aoout to be by an avalanche of scores. Gua may not nave hearu these cheering words— as they were not sung in a boisterous manner— for at that time he waa struggling desperately at (be botof a personally-excavated crypt searching for a means of egress. Bat, nevertheless, be "took his time" and immediately .made his exit landing right aide up with care. He not only took his time, bat broke boldly into the Hall of Fame, and made himself ■olid with, tbe fans oy his skilful work with disaster hovering dangerously near. _ Hines was in excellent form, had good corves and plenty of speed, and pitched a remarkable game, only three scattered hits being chalked against him, and his support was tbe kind that brings home the baoon. Shields was doing the receiving and carrying on a blockade that kept the runners hogging the bags closely. He was backed up by an infield that had the barriers up on everything Atlantic City could place their bats againet, and it wan certainly a busy day for the Needles-Entnken-Nichols-Little combination, they having 38 chances, only making two tlipe on the round up. No need to mention the ■coats doing picket duty in tfie outer garden, as they never once had to leave the lookout positions to get into the firing line. Hines took Atlantic Oity's measure early. First two ap pushed hard at the atmosphere. Nichols then got in front of a fast grounder and retired the third bitter at the initial bag. Shield opened for Oape May with a drive to.ahort too l\,ot for Saunders to handle. Needles whiffed. Nichols rolled one to Gage and was retired. Hugbea dropped a abort fly back of tbe , infield and Shields scored. Little saf» | on an error. Entriken sent a fly to , right, which was taken in by Dawson leaving Hughes and Little stranded en , third and second. , Saunders led off with a hit in the , second. Took second on a sacrifice. Went to third on easy grounder by Gage, bat was cat down at tbe plate, Hines to Shields. Htgbee walked. > Hmnnom flayed tfie air. , Mecray waited and took a stroll. , Stole second, bat was caught at third. I Hines missed three. West went oat on a long tly to center. ! Atlantic oat in order in the third, , two went tbe Nichols-Needles route, aad Gas took care of the third on , strikes. Oape May secured two in their'half. , Shields took one in the diaphragm, ! stole second. Needles safe on fielders . choice, Shields scoring on the play, r Nichols stopped one of Willet's benders I and walked. Hughes fanned. Little , safe on an error by left, Needles scor- , ing. Entriken was unable to make . connections, and Mecray retired on a . slow one to first. Nichols and Little l still lingering. Score 3 to 0. , First up in tbp fourth swung at . three wide ones. Nichols nipped the r next at first. Wllleta, tbcn]paabed out I a single, fiat rung off at second, Shields . to Entriken. Oape May retired in order. I Atlantic, got their only ran in tbe I fifth. Gage received a life, purloined , second and aoored .on a hit by Higbee s who got gay on the pathB and was , caugnt at seoond. Then Gua let out a , notch and retired L. Willeta at first on a slow one, while Lee poked savagely and three but failed to connect. Oape May failed to score in their i end. In this inning Dawson made a | nice running catch of Entriken'a]fly to ' right Score 8 to 1. In the sixth Hines oould not]locate ; the plate passing Dawson and Mageo. ; Saunders rolled a slow one toward j third and Gusjgot tangledjup trying to ; field the ball. Things looked aerious. t The corners all occupied and nobody down. A little hit meant a run and s 8

a real hit meant scores in bunches. Gas faced tbe situation like a veteran. Willeta went after them with vim but ' took .the count. Things began to look ' brighter. Gage couldn't get in bailing distance slipped disconsolately hark to 7 the bench. Higbee then got next to one whidh he started down tba third base line but ^Little was waiting and 7 headed him off at first by about twenty feet The boys-had passed through the trying situation with colon flying.and the crowd raised all kinds of cqpmoClon demonstrating their appreciation. Oape May got another tally in the sixth. Mecray went out on a grounder, second to first. Hines reoeivsd e pass, stole second and.scored on a long fly to 1 the center .field bleachers by West. 1 Shields and Needles oat on strikes. 1 Atlantic went out in order in tbe ' seventh Hines having, the inning to 1 himself. He fanned the first two 1 club swingers and tossed the tnird - out at first. 1 For Oape May Nichols went out 1 pitcher to first. Hughes secured his J second hit. Little out second to first Entriken h<t to right scoring Hughes, 1 stole second but was caught at third. 1 Score 6-1. ' Tne eighth inning was all Nichols. c Dawson drove out a hot one that ' Nichols went into the air after and 1 pulled down making tbe star catch of c the game. Magee walked. Saunders ' and Willeta went out the Nichols- ' Needles and Nicbols-Robbina route. ■ On the second play Needles bad his I finger split and retired in favor of 1 Bobbins. ' Atlantic City went to pieces in tbe I eighth and Oape May scored three i more 'uni on two bases on balls, an > error and a couple bum throws, I In the ninth Robbins pulled down a ■ shprt fly by Gage, and Gua put the - finishing touohes on the game by fanI ning Higbee and Hannnm, making : twelve of the gay Atlantic Oity boys i that had failed to connect with bis ' delivery.
