MART'S HALL TUBSDAY Witnessed by a gathering of 140 brothers, a class of fifteen candidates was initiated into the Catholic Order of Foresters at St. Mary's hall in this city on Tuesday evening of this week. It was a joint initiation of the Mc- Henry and Johnsburg courts, the former having seven, while the latter sent eight candidates to this city to be taken into the order. Altho the gathering was largely made up of members of the two courts, there were also a few present from out of town. Among the visitors who came to McHenry to witness the impressive ceremonies were: Rev. Fr. Hauser of Elgin, Henry Simon, chief ranger, Brothers Schult^ and Wooldorf of De- Sota court, Chicago. Mr. Simon, a former McHenry young man, and who has risen rapidly as a Forester in Chicago, now bears the honor of being head of the largest Forester court in that city. The initiation was in charge of the drill team from St. Joseph's court, Elgin, headed by Adolph Fischer of that city, and whtf also made his home in this city some years back. The work of the team was very commendable. State Chief Ranger W. F. Ryan of Chicago was present at the meeting and gave one of those rousing talks for which he has long been noted. Others who were called upon and responded with short impromptu talks were Rev. Hauser, Rev. Chas. Nix, Adolph Fischer and Brothers Simon, Schultz and Wooldorf. A luncheon was served at the conclusion of the work and the evening's program. The two courts which sponsored last Tuesday night's initiation have enjoyed a very substantial increase in membership during the past few years and if the enthusiasm of the officers and members of the two bodies may be taken as a criterion, the courts will continue to grow, and give promise of some day terminating into two of the btrongest in this section of the state. BROADWAY IMPROVEMENT ASSN. TO MEET lit* members of the Broadway Improvement association will meet at Weber's hall on Riverside Drive at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow (Friday) even-, ing. The purpose of the meeting is to listen to the financial report of the secretary and also talk over next season's program. Altho it is not generally known, more than $200 worth of work ^has been done in improving the foot of Broad street on Fox river and if the association finds itself financially able to do it greater improvements will be made next year. The shore of Pox river at the foot of Broad street has, thru the efforts of the above association, been transformed from an eyesore into a respectable looking site. Altho fh> • association went as far as their funds would reach this year, the members are hopeful that enough money can be raised between now and next spring to allow them to complete their plans and thus give the city one of the most attractive as well as best kept small beaches along the course of the river. Members are kindly asked to attend Friday night's meeting. An invitation is also extended to anyone interested in the project to come and listen to the evening's proceedings. THREE GANGS NOW ON SEWERAGE JOB There are now three gangs working on McHenry's sewer system. One of these is working on John street, another at the disposal plant near the river and the third along the Bonslett property near the old mill race. With the exception of the John street stretch, good progress is being made, at the latter point, however, water is greatly delaying the work. At some time along this street it will be necessary to go down about nineteen feet. WORK STARTED AT SCHOOL GROUNDS RACES HEW MY UNDER AUSPICES OF FOX RIVER VALLEY POWER BOAT CLUB TO STAGE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME CLASSY EVENTS HELD AT FOX LAKE LAST SUNDAY WITNESSED BY LARGE CROWD The Fox River Valley Power Boat club held its second series of races over the Fox lake course last Sunday afternoon, the events being witnessed and enjoyed by a large crowd of people, while the entrants* in each event were all that cduld have been expected. The first race was for row boate with detachable motors and was won by Master L. Olson of Fox Lake. The second event, the 725 class, was won by "Miss Martha," owned by A. Paonessa of Fox Lake. The third race for boats of the 320 class was won by "Irene V," owned by Jos. Vlaciha of the Yacht Club Bohemia, Fox Lake. The last event was not a race, but rather a demonstration <ff high speed hydroplanes in action, the demonstration having been given by the "Fore," owned by W. D. Foreman of Pistakee Bay, and the "Virginia H.," owned by A. V. Hannifin of McHenry. Both of these boats went around the four and one-half mile course twice and averaged sixty-four miles per hour. The prizes as given in Sunday's events were donated by the Yacht Club Bohemia of Fox Lake. Next Sunday, August 26, the club will run a series of races, in accordance with the applications as received from the boat owners who wish , to participate, on the Fox river course, the start and finish of all events to be made at McHenry. One of the most exciting events to be staged by the club thus far is the race for row boats with detachable motors, because it gives the youngsteafc a chance to demonstrate their ability to handle this class of boats, and all the boats of the district with detachable motors are invited to participate in next Sunday's event. Next Sunday's races are scheduled to start at two o'clock, central standard time. The members of the dub as well aft the owners of the boats which will participate in next Sunday's races wish to ask, thru the columns of The Pl^indeater, that all residents along the waterway of the race course extend to the racing boats the courtesy of keeping out of the motor boat channels while the races are in progress next Sunday afternoon. This is the first event of the kind to be staged on Fox river this season and, judging from the increased interest that has been shown in such events this season, a large crowd of interested spectators is sure to gather. Just where the start arid finish of the races' will take place has not been determined, altho it is only reasonable to assume that it will be somewhere near the McHenry bridge. LAST RACES OF SEASON AT LONG LAKE ANTIOCH AND ALGONQUIN TO ^ MEET HERE SEPT. 9 enry is to witness at least otae big baseball game before the close of the present playing season and with favorable weather conditions this city will witness the biggest crowd of baseball fans that has assembled here since the games of the Chicago White Sox and Cubs.

The Antioch club, altho playing under that name, is composed of some bf the very best talent obtainable at Waukegan. They have met and defeated all of the leading teams in their own county as well as some of the stronger clubs in lower Wisconsin. The Algonquin Indians are composed .mostly of Chicago players who have been spending the week ends at the McHenry county summer resort town. Since the disbandment of the McHenry club many of the local lovers of the great national pastime have been following the Indians. The Indians, like the team which they are to meet in McHenry on the date specified above, are easily the class of McHenry county, having defeated every McHenry county team that they have played thus far this season. With favorable weather conditions the coming game is almost certain to attract no less than 1,000 out-of-town people and those having the matter in hand are preparing to^handle a big crowd. Considerable work will be done on the diamond and playing field, while the grandstand and back stop will be put in good shape. Two association umpires will be en gaged to handle the game, while the- - entire playing field will be roped or wired off, thus making it possible for everyone to see the game. The Plaindealer will have more to say regarding the coming attraction in lilter issues. McHENRYITES ATTEND GATHERING AT KANKAKEE Long Lake, which has witnessed several very interesting motor boat events during the season now coming to a close, will stage just one more event before calling things off for the present season. The final will be pulled off on Sunday, Sept. 2. There will be four regular and two special events, all of the bang and go back order. The first of the four regular races will be for outboard motors, the second for fast boats, the third for slow boats and the last a freefor- all.

Beller of this city were numbered among the 10,000 friends of Governor Small at Kankakee last Wednesday, on which occasion the governor publicly announced his candidacy for the office he now holds. Governor Small's followers and supporters appear to be growing in number and friends of the state chief executive are of the opinion that he will be returned to the office he now holds regardless of who his opponent may turn out to be. Locally the governor has added to his following of friends and admirers and The Plaindealer feels certain that McHenry township will give him just as splendid endorsement as was accorded him four years ago. "He is the best road governor the state has ever had," or words to that effect, are expressions oftimes heard among his local supporter!. ENTERTAINS IN HONOR ' OF EIGHTH BIRTHDAY Work of leveling off the north of the grade school building was started this week and it is the hope of the school board to have the entire job, completed before the opening of the fall term, thus giving the children the use of additional playground. The tract up to this time has proven of very little use to the school, but with the work now under way completed the space should prove a great acquisition to the school property. t STENGER CUP NOW ON DISPLAY AT NYE'S The beautiful Stenger cup, donated by Carl W. Stenger to the winner of a tournament which is now in progress at the McHenry Country club, is now on exhibition in the display window of the A. E. Nye Jewelry & Music store on the West Side.

Pouliot, local boat builder shd whose plant is located just across the river from this city, has plans all drawn up and will soon start the erection of a modern road house. According to the plans of Mr. Pouliot, the new structure, 75x75, will pccupy a site on the southwest corner of his property, part of which now forms the site for his boat factory. The latter building is to be moved to the northeast end of the property. After the boat plant has been moved there will really be two instead of one building. The original plant and the new wing which was added later will form the two buildings. Preparations for the moving of these buildings are already under way and it is the hope of the owner to have the moving done very shortly and that work on. the new structure may be started early next month. When asked as to his future plan? regarding the new building and how same is to be managed, a Plaindealer scribe was informed by Mr. Pouliot on Tuesday afternoon of this week that it was his plan to conduct the new place as well as continue his boat building activities. He also let it be known that the new road house would be conducted along sane business lines and that the catering to the better class of business would be the motto. The place will not have any rooms to rent, but will cater only to the traveling public who stop in at such places for a meal. Rooms for a flat will also be constructed over a portion of the building and these will be occupied by the owner and his wife. Mr. Pouliot will do his own work on the new building and expects to have same ready for occupancy long before the opening of another summer season. He believes that this community needs a place of this sort and that in time a very fine patronage can be worked up.
