The Trolley Company has made no effort to place Main Street in a decent shape after laying their switch on it, and it is now in a bad condition for travel with loose stones laying all ov_er the ruad. After the switch was la'id the stone, gravel, etc, was taken up promiscuously and dumped in, and a little water mixed with it and roiled down with a hand roller.

Home, June 9, 1912. Dearest Folks:—
Ihre^ days in Rome. We have an American lady who has lived many years in Italy and who is well ac¬ quainted with its history and art. We have been vefy fortunate so far in all our guides who not only exhibit in the usual routine manner, but who have been able to answer most of the ques¬ tions which may have occurred to us to ask, and thus many little points which would have escaped us otherwise we have learned, if one could only remem¬ ber tLem all. But that is impossible. Three days in Rome, and our guide tells us she has lived here for three years and still finds new objects of in terest, so what poor information I can send, you must take for what it is,
I have been to the Vatican, which is the residence of the Pope and consists of a number of palaces which have been added to the original since the Fourteenth Century. The principal addition is the Sistine Chapel, which is named after its builder, Pope Sixtus, and is adorned by Raffael Michael Angelo and other masters, and possess¬ es an unrivalled collection of paint¬ ings, sculptures, antjquities, etc. I can't begin to describe the beauty of this place with its beautiful collection of art. I see so much of what is beautiful that my eyes are full of it all the time, everything is beautifu\ people, houses, scenery. The bam- binos (babies, in the street, you may see what might be models for Madon¬ nas and child everywhere. The ceil¬ ing of tbe Chapel was painted by Michael Angelo, Michelangelo, as they put it. The figures are all gigantic and many do not care for this art, as tbe details are all overdrawn for effect. The statues and paintings in¬ dicate tremendous strength both of mind and body. A great many of the statuary are early Italian copies of great Greek sculptures in bronze as tbe Italians use very little bronze and a great many date back B. C. They are beautifully preserved. We also have visited the Barberini Palace and saw the portrait of Beatrice Cenci, which is said to have been painted from memory by Guido Reni. One cannot reconcile her beautiful inno¬ cence of appearance with the charge of patricide and the suffering tragedy of her life and death. I prefer to believe her innocent. I do wish some of you were with me, I miss you^all so much. Of course everyone who goes to Rome visits St. Peter's. 1 won't attempt to describe it. It is immense and its vastness is best appreciated in looking down from the gallery which surrounds the dome of the inside and from which the whole interior can be seen to good advantage.
It is said to be a very beautiful edi¬ fice but is so large that I could not find it, possibly beyond my comprehension, or would require more time, or better acquaintance than I bad to apnreciate it. I have been out on the Palatine Hill, which is supposed to be the seat of the original setllement by Romulus. From there we had a view of the mag- niricent triumphal Arch of Severua, which was erected in commemoration of his victories. It was erected about 200 A. D, We did not )iave time for a closer inspection, which would have been interesting, as there were also some ruins observable nearby which I would   have liked to visit.   N
We rode out on the Via,^ppia or Appian Way, the most celebrated of the Ancient Roman roads. It was built about 800 B. C, but is not more than about 18 feet wide.
The points of interest besides its antiquity consisted in some very an¬ cient Roman ruins by the wayside which showed their original immense proportions and strength, but which now are but disconnected masses of masonry, sho« ing but little evidence^ of their original purposes.
June 10th. I can hardly keep track of time. I am and have been so busy. I am now in Florence, to which place we came from Rome. Florence is more delightfully situated than Rome, and while it rannot rival the latter in art, its natural scenery is finer on ac- coant of its sarroi^nding hills. I have I seen tbe cell of Savonarola, the statea- ! man, patriot-prieat and orator, who , Boffered martyrdom for liberty of I thought and speech. The cell is in an I old Dominici^n Monastery, now tamed : into a museum. Tbe cells of tbe Ok) I Mpnbs are decorated by frescoes of Fra Angelico and bis school and I still retain tbe fine condition of tbe I eolora in a remarkable degree. They j are very acf t and bright, and moatly j roligiooa in eh«r«etor.

The Coming Water
Carnival
The South Shore Yacfat Club extends to all boat owners in the vicinity of Freeport, a'most cordial invitation to participate in its Water Carnival on Saturday evening. July 27, next.
Boats will assemble at Ellison's dock just inside the entrance of the Wood¬ cleft Canal at 8:15 o'clock on the ev¬ ening in question, weather permitting'.
Each boat owner may exercise his own taste in illuminating his craft. No entrance fee or previous registra tion is required. Sail boats and other craft not propelled by power will be towed.
The boats will in formation order proceed westerly and northerly into Randall's Bay and countermarching in front of the Club House, will di»band just to the south of the Club House.
After the uarade there will be an in¬ formal dance at the Club House to which all participating in the parade are invited. Other club.s and individ¬ ual boat owners who are not members of the South Shore Yacht Club will be welcome to participate.
It is not necessary to send your name to anybody, but simply have your boat in line, ready for illumination.
Prizes will be given to the boats making the best appearances.
Last year witnessed the first water carnival under the auspices of the Club, in fact it would be safe to say the first water carnival held in this vicinity. The success of last year's event has encouraged the Club to make this car¬ nival an annual feature and the Carni¬ val Committee hopes that it will have the support of the yachting fraternities throughout the waters of Hempstead Bay.

Some people, I find, reallv believed that trolley switch was put in on Main Street to accommodate the public, but are finding out it was simply to accom¬ modate the trolley company. Cars are run on fifteen minutes headway on Sun¬ days and holidays only when it is im¬ possible (not impractical) to otherwise carry the crowds. Other days cars are run as before, and it is not an in- frei|uent thing to see front and back platforms crowded with passengers be¬ cause of the poor schedule.
You can see the writer of this col¬ umn every night going around locking and bolting all the windows of his house. We did not use to do this, but times have changed. Saturday morn¬ ing when I started to dress, I found a box of matches on the floor alongside of my clothing, which someone had evidently exchanged for my pocket- book. I looked through the house and found several other burnt matches, but nothing else missing.
I happened to want that pocketbook, so while on my way to work I looked along the edge of the sidewalk and saw it lyinji in the gutter. You can hardly imagine my surprise on picking up the pocketbook find my money in it yet, although the papers and cards had been taken out and thrown around the road.
1 came to work, well satisfied with the result, and had been here but a few minutes when a man brought in Mrs. Pearsall's hand bag, which he had found on the street about a block from my house, and which he identified by the mileage book in it. There was no money in this, and it had evidently been thrown away for that reason. On further investigation we found that a purse containing about $1.50 had also been taken, and up-to-date the only thing that has not been found is this pocketbook.
This is not the way I usuallv write a news item, and may seem a little long in this case, but will explain why the windows are bolted now at 155 Pine Street; not because vt will keep burglars out but because it makes you feel better, you know.

Drowned In Jones Inlet
J. Bray of Hempstead, was drowned in Jones Inlet, near Freeport, Sunday, when trying to save the lives of his daughter, Amy, 17 years old, and one of her girl chums, Izy Yeaton. also 17. Bray underestimated the strength of the tide, which runs through the inlet at least twelve miles an hour, and he was carried away from shore. Tho two girls kept afloat until H. Weiler, working a iryout of his racing hydro¬ plane, saw them, drove the speedy boat acros.s the inlet and pulled them from the water. The young women fainted in the boat and had to be worked over almost an hour, before they were re¬ vived.
Bray, his daughter and Miss Yeaton had gone to Jones Beach to pass tho day picknicking. The three fished to¬ gether, dujr clams, enjoyed a home¬ made shore dinner and were almost ready to start for their homes, when Miss Cray suggested having a swim. Bray vetoed the suggestion laughing¬ ly, but Miss Yeaton backed up her friend and the father was outvoted. He decided to remain on the shore, however, and watch. Both the young women ate good swimmers and Hray was confident they would not run fool¬ ish risks. For that reason, after standing en the .shore a few mintJtes and joking with them, he turned away to watch the racing *oat.s in the inlet.
Bray had walked several hundred yards from the bathing spot . when ho was startled by a scream from hia daughter. Turning, he saw both young women in deep water. Miss Yeaton supporting her companion. The fath¬ er, knowing his daughter was a lino swimmer, realized instantly she had been seized with cramps. He started to fun along the shore to get above tho and take advantage of the tide, but his anxiety got the better of his judgment and he plunged into the water when he still was several yards from where they were straggling. The shore curves sharply at the point where he jumped overboard, and the tide runs like a millrace around the curve. Bray struggled desperately to swim into the still water beyond. Hia strength failed and he was swept to the middle of the inlet and drowned.
Tho swimming knowledge possessed by the young women served them well. Miss Bray, although so cramped she could not use her legs, steadied herself with one hand on her friend's shoulder and helped with the other hand to keep herself afloat. Weiler, who was half way across the inlet, saw tho struggling figures in the water and drove his hydroplane at full speed toward them. He reached the spot just as the exhausted young women were sinking.
Fishermen late Monday night still were dragging the inlet for Bray's body, but it is feared the tide has swept it to sea.—N. Y. Press.
Boatmen Monday found the body of Mr. Bray. It was found not fur dis¬ tant from where he went down by three members of the life saving station, who worked all morning.
South Shore Yacht Club
At a meeting of the South Shore Yacht Club held on July 11. 1912, it was enthusiastically voted that tho Club members and their men friends have a day at deep sea hshing and it as agreed that Thursday. August 1. should be set apart for this purpose.
Paul Halpin, Dr. F. A. Myrick and William Hibbard were appointed a committee in charge to arrange the details.
It is proposed to have two or more of the fast seagoing fishing boats at Freeport leave the Club deck at a con" venient hour and spend a day at the fishing banks off Long Beach, at prac¬ tically a nominal expense to each one going.
This being the first venture of this kind the Club has undertaken, there is considerable doubt .as to how many of the "yachtsmen" will be able to sur- ^iv6 the ordeal nf being rolled about by the heaving swells of Old Neptune and so it was decided to make this a stag party.
Announcement of farther deUils will be sent to tbe Club members later on.
