Sunday is the busy day here—everything open. I have been unable to tell Sunday from any other day since I have been here. A large number of people from New York, as well as other places, come here to spend Sunday. The Standard Oil Co., have their largest oil refinery here on Constable Hook. It employs thousands of men. There are also other large industries here. The peo ple, as a rule, are very fine, but like all other places, you can find some of the worst class. We even have to take the brass off the engines at night to pre vent it being stolen. If any of my friends happen to come down to New York, I would be pleased to have them call on me at the above address. Be sure to send the Old Reliable PRESS. Yours, Lee H. Lewis, chief engineer, Bayonne City Park." Struck it Lucky. The PRKHH is pleiised to state that the Butler Oil Company, of which Joseph M.
