The cool weather for the past few days has caused some of our summer people to retum to their city homes, notably from the hotels and boarding hoases, but there ia still a goodly num¬ ber of guests at the Crystal Lake Ho^ tel. Mrs. Frost and Ward are popular with their guests and with good serv¬ ice are doing a good bnainesa.
After a bicycle ride of over 800 milea, C. Harry Jones, son of Harry W. Jones, has returned to hia home in Freeport weighing aix pounds more than when he started. His interest¬ ing trip took him across Long Island to Port Jefferson, and by boat to New Haven, from whence he pedaled his way to Northfield, Mias., throu^ the Berkshires. Jones, who is just' 16,' made the trip on a wheel of his own construction, and joined bis father . at various points along the route. To¬ gether they attended the Northfield Conference, the boy returning on his wheel While his father traveled by- train.—Times.

The princi- psls of the Archer Street and Seaman Avenue Schools will be at their re- spective schools Friday and Saturday of next week, for the ssme parposes. The new laws, noted in our last issue, did not affect Freeport scbools, ss ours being a district of over 6,000 popula¬ tion, tbo special laws have applied to it foi- some time, providing for the service of sn attendance oificer daring tbe whole time that school was opened. For the same reason, while most of the scboola have to open next Tuesday, Freeport schools do not open until the following Monday. '

(Special Correspondent).
Last Saturday at the Preeport oval, the home boys took the atrong Nation¬ al A. C. of Ridgewood into camp by the score of 7 to 6, after thirteen long, hard inninga. It took half the game^ for both teams to settle down to buai¬ neas, then it was aome game,
Nolan'a wild heave in the 9th over Soper's head enabled the Nationals to tie the score, and som6 fans from the Brooklyn game to witness Eome local talent play.
Abrams' double and a couple of er¬ rors after two were out ih the 18th en¬ abled ue to add another victory to our list.
The management wishes to thank the fans and tneir friends for the sportsmanlike way they contributed, after thoir nnpexl fer sid.
We got ten more new niembers to the association. Anyone wishing to become a member can do so by seeing Melvin Barker or B. Frank Post.
Tomorrow at the Seaman Avenue grounds at 3:30 we meet the strong Mineola team Some good game can be expected, as Preeport is out for re¬ venge on account of the previous de¬ feats at the handa of the Mineola boys.
Labor Day morning at 10:80 we play the Chapel A. C. and again at 3:80 p. m. the same two teams play. These teams played a 12-inning game last month, the score being 2 to 0, so some game can be expected.

Commtmications
Review Editor,
Dear Sir:—Mr. Wood. Sealer of Weights and Measures, seems to keep an eye on short weight butchers and grocers, but does not appear to see tbe sbort coont shingle man. In three different lots used within the present year I have found them 20 per cent sbort of the amount that they were sold for. If this is under tbe jurisdic¬ tion of Mr. Wood we tmst he will look into the matter. A. Builder.

I wisb to sUto to yoa and tbroogb yoo to all parebooera of lots in tbo above proporty that tbe map ss adver¬ tised is not a correct copy of tfae orig¬ inal map made by n>e, and also that the greater port of tbe loU as marked ont in Block 7 to 20 inclusive on the said map have been scoured away by storms since tfae survey was made, and are now a part of tbe channel known as Foresides.
I do not desire to have purchasers rely on your reference to my survey in view of these facts, and therefore take this opportunity to make tbe conditions clear to all.       ,Yours very traly,
Alvin G. Smith.
After an interview between Mr. Scott and Mr. Smith, in which the con¬ ditions of the sale were stated, Mr. Smith mode tbe following affidavit;
Alvin G. SmitH, being duly sworn, deposes and saya that hc is a Civil £n-
to keep tbe subway clean, and the toileU open and clean, so there will not be. as heretofore, any excuse for improper use of tbe subway.
It seems it would now be op to the Village officials to assist tbe railroad authorities, but it is rather difficult as the funds are limited, but in tbe next budget it is hoped an appropriation may be made for that purpose. To in¬ sure   this, we would suggest to  tbe
board for a long time past we bad a desire to know the exact tmth regard¬ ing the apparent existing discrepan¬ cies in grades on tbe village streets, and accordingly wrote to Smith A Mal¬ comson, villsge engineers, asking tbem, if tbey deemed it expedient to explain tbe reason for tbe misundor- sUndings and differences.

Mr. Editor:—
If there is a law against work on Sunday, I tbink it should be printed in large type and postod in some conspic- oous place in our village for tbe bene¬ flt of tfaoao who run noisv lawn mow¬ ers all day long. Chopping wood, bnilding chicken coops, etc.. does not soem quiU so bad as tbey are generally In back oat of sight and loand, partly. These things are very annoying to tboae wbo wish a quiet day of reat or who are going to or from aervice. There is a judge of a higher court where they wi I have to give an ac¬ count at some future time. But for tbe timo being itwould seem that a polico eoort would be tbo pertinent place. R. A. M.
(We are under tbe impiassion that tha prapar way for our cori-eapondent to get relief is to rai^e a "complaint agains bis offending neighbors, upon whicb tbe Police Justice would itpiim a warrant. It is very doubtful if the Polico would make orreato on a matter of this kind without a spoeile com¬ plaint.—Ed.)

A WORKING TRUSTEE. \ 	
Villsge Trustee Robert P. Welden is an officibi who believes in working. Last week the woods in the eastora part of the village were afire and Mr. Welden took several of his men there, and securing old hose from the pamp¬ ing sUtion and the engine bouse kept the fires under control, and instead of the wbole fire department being called out two or three times as occurred two years ago, only a "still alarm" was necessary, taking ont one bose wagon.

I have hoard some comment regard¬ ing Coptein Hanoo's attitode in sign¬ ing tho lease with tho City of New York for tha park proQferty. Capt Honse has consistently worked for this pork, and while sentiment against it has increased, Capt. Hanse has always talked in favor of parks. As to the wording of the contract Capt. Hanse takes tbe sUnd that tbis is the only stylo leaae tbe city would give, and the granting of coaaenU for bailding woujd be a mere matter of form, pend¬ ing payment
