The first of a series of secial events which will take place at the clubhouse of the As bury Park Wheelmen during the winter months was celebrated last night. The spacious and oozy club borne was brilliantly illuminated from top to bottom and all was mirth and merriment within. The affair was given under the management of the entertainment committee, consisting of Harry G. Bhreve, W. H.

Conover and Frank D. Dudley. They were ably assisted by J. 8. Adraiu and Roy C.James.

The club membership was well represented and a most delightful evening was spent. The affair consisted of a smoker, entertainment and banquet, the expense of which was met by President Martin H. Soott. This gentleman is now serving his second term as presiding officer of the organization, and it was at his suggest Ion that the arrangements were completed for last night's brilliant and successful fete. President Scott was desirous of geting the club members-together again for the purpose of arousing enthusiasm and getting in shape for a gala social season.

He argued that the best scheme would be to have them gather around the festive board, and while satisfying the wants of the inner man discuss club life anl matters pertaining to the best interests of the club. He volunteered to stand the expense, and It is needless to say that the boys very generously accepted of his hospitality. It was distinctly a stag affair, and while the patient wife enjoyed peaceful slumber the husband was enjoying club life within the confines of the comfortable clubhouse. The early part of the evening was spent in bowling, playing pool arid billiards, or a social game of cards. During this time the entertainment committee were busily engaged in preparing the banquet on the second floor.

Promptly at 9 o'clock the word was passed through the building that the feast was ready. The members at once repaired to the assembly room, where a long table had been spread, with sufficient seating capacity for all. President Scott was Introduced as the host and amid applause took his seat at the head of the table. The boys were then Invited to eat, drink and be merry. For a couple of hours or more the feast lasted.

Steamed soft clams, deviled crabs, crackers, cheese, pickles, olives, were served in great abundance. About 3,000 steamed clams had been provided, together with deviled crabs enough to stock a small sized river. The boys ate and ate until they oould eat no more, and it was with difficulty that some of them got away from the table. During the banquet vocal and Instrumental music, in fitting contrast to the occasion, was rendered by a quartette of colored artists. Clay pipes and tobacco were distributed at the close of the feast, and the club house was soon scented with the aroma of Long Tom or Durham tobacco.

The members gathered in groups about the club house and discussed the prospects of an enjoyable time during the winter months. It seemed to be the general opinion that the event of last night should be repeated early and often during the season. It was after midnight when the club house was finally deserted. President Scott was complimented for his kind generosity. SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET.

Golla? Hons promptly acknowledged. lour vusuMMB wto reepeouuuf BQ.rctsoj. The Press herewith presents to its readers a biographical sketch of the gentlemen who have been selected to carry the Mon mouth county Democratic banner to victory at the coming election. They are without exception men who are well known through out the entire county. Four of them have held offices through the expressed choice of the people, and their records are before you.

The Hon. Aaron Johnston, who now asks for your support for state senator, has been twine elected to the state assembly by flattering majorities. The assembly ticket has twice the strongest men the Republican party could place against them and their renomination, which was entirely unsolicited, shows the esteem in which they are held by the members of their party. Mr. Shutts, tha Democratic candidate for sheriff, like Dr.

Applegate, the candidate for county clerk, is widely known and popular with the members of both parties. AARON E. JOHNSTON, Democratic Candidate for Senator. Aaron E. Johnston, the Democratic candidate for Senator, Is a well known member of the Monmouth county bar, and no stranger to the voters.

He was born in Howell township April 18, 1857. He taught school at West Long Branch at the age of nineteen, where he Is well known. Mr. Johnston was admitted to practice law In 1884. Three years later he opened a law office at Freehold, where he has built up a lucrative practice.

Mr. Johnston was elected to the Assembly in 1890, by a majority of 1,160, the largest ever given to any candidate in the First Assembly District. He has served as Assistant Prosecutor of Mon-I mouth county with credit to himself and his constituents. Fraternally Mr. I Johnston is well connected, being a member of the Free and Accepted Ma sons, Knights of Pythias, Knights of the Golden Eagle, Improved Order of Red Men, Ancient Order of United Workmen and the Royal Accanum.

JACOB cWuTTS, Democratic Candidate tor Sheriff. Jacob C. Shutts, the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, is well known In Monmouth county. He Is an auctioneer of recognized ability, his services being eagerly sought for outside of his own State. Mr.

Shutts is a resident of Shrewsbury, where he commands the resfcect and esteem of both political parties. While Shrewsbury Is normally Republican by three hundred, there are scores of Republicans who predict a majority for Mr. Shutts. Mr. Shutts has been' in the race for Sheriff for many years.

His strength at the recent Democratic convention was a surprise to many of his most sanguine supporters, who, while almost certain that he would win the coveted prize, did not think he would be able to defeat such a strong opponent as Joseph L. Butcher on the first ballot. The election of Mr. Shutts Is conceded by the Shrewsbury Republicans, many of them pledging him their vote before he was nominated. i i I i that Mr.

Woolley has been twice elect ed to the Legislature speaks volumes. Mr. Woolley is a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He is popular with the young men of Long Branch, and will receive the support of many Republicans. Mr.

Woolley's ancestors were of the Jeffersonlan type of Democracy. As semblyman Woolley entered' the politi cal arena before he became a voter. His friends predict his re-election by an Increased majority. Mr. Woolley has a well stocked library.

He is thoroughly conversant with the political history of the country. His home Is blessed with a charming wife and three interesting children. JOSEPH L. BUTCHER, Democratic Candidate for Assembly. Everybody In Monmouth county knows "Joe" Butcher as the Democratic war horse of Howell township.

Mr. Butcher missed the nomination for sheriff, although his strength was not to be sneered at. Mr. Butcher for a num ber of years has been a member of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and, to his credit be it said, his vote was always cast In favor of shore Improvements. The experience which he gained in the last Assembly will serve him a good turn at the next session, to which he is sure to be se lected.

No one, perhaps, is better ac quainted with the general interests of our county than he, and therefore, no one is better calculated by general In formation to render good service to the county and State.
