The piece records a city council session on street railway franchising and a settled court case, alongside brief reports on excursions, family news, and local commerce.

The piece describes Helen and Eva Rogers riding with their father in a bicycle-equipped city, notes Clinton Sawyer of Savannah Ga inventing a steam bicycle powered by a small engine with gearing set for about sixty inches, and quotes Elizabeth's Journal on athletic training and discipline for cyclists.

Elizabeth County Valuation Fight Shapes County Board
Elizabeth held the key as county assessors met amid split factions planning to dominate the Board. The vote tallies show Elizabeth with twelve seats and Plainfield with ten, while prices fixed for the year total 32,684,000 with Elizabeth gaining 827,000 and other towns securing varying sums. A short city meeting followed with eight members present, and a street railway ordinance was postponed. A cycling race in Montclair saw Compton Wall place first and Newark riders second and third. Thursday and Friday feature a gun club tournament at Plainfield with shooting on the rocks drawing crowds.

A local ball game on West Fourth Street ends 3 to 2 after a hard fought match between Tom Dwyer's and James Spratt's teams.
