Dr. Lincoln Hulley, as Superintendent Delights the Large Audience at the Opening Exercises — The Dunbar Singers—The  Program.
Ambler Chautauqua opened Tuesday afternoon in the presence of a large audience. President Dr. Andrew God¬ frey made the opening address and in¬ troduced the superintendent of the Chautauqua, Dr. Lincoln Hulley, who before beginning his address told of the aims and purposes of the Chautau¬ qua movement.
Dr. Hulley's subject was "Long¬ fellow, the Poet of the Fireside," and those who were present will never forget the delightful afternoon they spent. Dr. Hulley recited several poems of the author and told of his life and inspirations.
The Dunbar Soriee singers also took part in the opening exercises and de¬ lighted the large audience. Prior to the opening there was a parade of the school children who assembled at the Forrest avenue building, and headed by the Boy Scouts of troop. No. 1, marched to the large tent on Lindenwold avenue.
As superintendent of the Arabler Chautauqua Dr. Hulley impressed very favorably tiiose who were present at the opening, and it is the opinion of all that the Ambler Chautauqua will be in keeping with that of the previous year and that the people of Ambler will again spend a week of splendid enjoyment and of moral and civic up. litt under the big tent adjoining the Calvary   Jlethodist  church.
Tuesdav evening the Dunbar Soiree singers gave a splendid concert, and an illustrated lecture, on "Bright Eyes and Wild Hearts of Our Xorthern Woods," was given by Chauncey J. Hawkins.
During the evening an amusing pai-t of the program was the pictures thrown on the scene depicting well known street scenes and several of the prominent citizens of Ambler.

Farmers Visit Great  Milk  Farm
i)n Jlonday a number of farmers from Frederick, Worcester, Whitpain and Lower Jlerion, with their families, joined in a farm bureau automobile excursion to the Walker-Gordon farms at Plainfield, X. J. Th party was cor¬ dially received by the manager, Jlr. Jeffers. who explained every detail of the farm, slmwing them about the l.SOO acres of land operated by the com¬ pany.
The farm carries at the present time about tiOO head of cattle, of which 335 are being milked. Certifled milk is produced and sold in Philadelphia, Xew York, Atalntic City, Boston and other cities. The cows are grade Guernseys and Holsteins headed by well bred bulls. They are housed in herds of 50 to a barn and managed in the most sanitary manner. The average feed ration consists 20 pounda of silage, 12 pounds of alfalfa hay and about eight pounds of a grain mixture of hominy, dried brewers' grains, bran and peanut meal, per day for each cow.
Records of the production of each cow are kept and a herd average of from 12 to 14 quarts of 4 per cent, milk is maintained the year through. The individual records are used in select¬ ing the calves for raising to maintain the herd number.
To feed these cattle several hundred acres of silage corn and more than 50 acres of alfalfa are grown. After 12 years of desperate attempts to grow alfalfa they have just recently been successful, and the large fields were a marvel to the visitors. On one part of the farm the party crossed a 100- acre field of alfalfa three feet high on each sides of the automobiles; in an¬ other field they saw three elgth-foot mowers at work; in a third field the party rode about In a 75-acre fleld of alfalfa cocks covered with canvas caps. At this time 150 acres had been put away, 250 acres cut and in cocks and 150 acres still to cut.
Last year 600 head of cattle and 25 horses were fed alfalfa hay, 150 tons were sold and 150 tons on hand June 1. This year the crop will be consid¬ erably larger.
So well pleased was every one of the party that there ¦ Is talk of an¬ other visit to the farms in the early part of August, and a suggestion that a larger number of farmers should join with the party. The, distance is about 60 miles from the centre of the county.
K. & M. WINS CLOSE^GAME.
Defeats Old Rivals, the Girard Field Club. /
Locals Start Out With Big Lead, but Errors Allow Girard to Tie Score— K. &  M. Wins in the Ninth.
A wild throw by Hopkins in the ninth inning allowing Davies to cross the plate gave the Keasbey & Mat¬ tison A. A. a victory Saturday over the Girard F. C. by the score of 8 to 7.
Davies singled in this period, and after reachaing first base stole second. He then made a dash for third, as Weston delivered the next ball to the batter. It was on this play that Hopkins threw the ball into left fleld, and the game was over. Prior to this time the score stood at seven runs each.
Victory looked easy for the locals, at the start as they scored a tive-run lead. Two runs came in the firat. Two were down in tlie second when three runs were scored as follows: IT. Richie was out, pitcher to first on his infield tap. Hallman struck out. C. Robinson walked for the second time, and also stole second for the second time, Simpson singled and stole sec¬ ond, F. Wodock did likewise after he had singled, which hit scored both C. Robinson and Simpson. Curtis scored Wodock, but in trying to make two bases on the hit Curtis was out at second. In the fifth the latter hit for two bases and scored the sixth run on H. Robinson's single. Run seven was tallied in the seventh period, on a base on lialls to Daviea. who had taken C. Robinson's place in Centre field, and Simpson's two-bagger to left.
The visitors drew blanks until tho fifth when they scored three runs on two hits, a base on balls and two er¬ rors. Three more tallies were made on a single, two missed third strikes and two errors. The visitors tied the score in their half of the ninth in¬ ning, after Marks flew out. Greenwood reached first safely on an error, Karst, who is playing with the Brook¬ lyn National league team this season, but was left at home, when his team went west, batted for Heitmer and singled to left. Hopkins' grounder was fumbled and Greenwood scored. The score follows:

Lansdale  High  Violated  Rules.
The action of the Lansdale higl}. school team, in the final schoul gan^e Friday against Ambler tiiSjt^L ]^%p«.
da.\^,_^it.M?^yia&'-:i^»Mki'-'^f^^»
'been a student in the school for two years, will likely result in athletic re¬ lationships between the two school.s being severed. Godfrey Haywood, captain of the Annbler team, protested the playing of Eaton, who appeared under the name of Mininger, but the protest was not recognized, and he was allowed to play until he had aided Lansdale in securing an eight-run lead. Then he retired and Jlinin.ger, whose name he was playing under, took his place. Despite this handicap the Am¬ bler boys went right ahead and from the sixth inning to the finish they hammered out 11 runs winning by the score of 11 to 8. Eaton is a member of the Lansdale A. A., playing second base for that team.
Ambler liigh school nine proved to be one of the best school teams along the Xorth Penn, winning eight of the 12 games played.
