About 50 membera and friends of the Social Club of the Church of the Transfiguration enjoyed a moonlight i fl"j;^^'|*^'J"'|^' sail last Friday evening. The De- I r^be laree bouauet is comah took the party from Woodcleft | j^^^ „f ^^^^j^^ ^^^^^ Dock to Long Beach, and on the re the New York Telephone Company's tum trip coffee and other refreshments j ^j^^les. The smaller bouquet is made were enjoyed. j ^^^^ ^ section of a 74-pair duplex Bos¬
ton to Washington underground ^able, which passes through New York, Phil¬ adelphia and Wilmington.
During the Preaidential inaugura¬ tion in 1909, a severe blizzard demol¬ ished overhead wire construction and Washington was cut off of wire com¬ munication with the outside world. Now, however, because of the inatalla¬ tion of this kind of a cable, storms cannot interrupt communication be¬ tween theae pointa.
Eiks Break Ground for New Club House
Freeport Lodge, No. 1253, Benev¬ olent and Protective Order of Elks, at 11 o'clock laat Thursday evening broke ground for their new $30,000 club house to be erected at the corner of South Grove Street and West Merrick Road.
Surrounded by over 100 members of the lodge, Exalted Ruler Stephen P. Pettit tumed the first spade of dirt at exactly eleven o'clock.
The apade which was uaed for the turning of the earth will be gold plated and placed in a prominent position in the new building when completed.
During the evening the contract for the erection of the building was signed with Brother Aubrey Pettit as the con¬ tractor. The building will be 40x100 feet and when completed it will be the finest clubhouse on Long Island outside of Greater New York. It will be a two story and baaeipent building and will be complete with a large auditor¬ ium and meeting hall, billiard and pool rooms, bowling alleys, and ae a special feature a swimming pool.
It will have a polished brick front and the interior trimmings wifl be of the beat.
The lodge was instituted on August 26, 1911, and exactly two years later —twenty-sixth of next month—the comer atone of the new building will be laid amid appropriate ceremonies. ! At the time of the institution tiiere | were thirty members and at the pres¬ ent time, less than two years, there are 640 members, with a number on the waiting list.
Successful Fair
The nine-day fair and carnival under the auspices of the Catholic Church of the Redeemer came to a close Satur¬ day evening, when the largest crowd that haa attended since the opening night was present.
The large silver loving cup offered by the church to the most pop&lar fire company in the village was presented to the Ever Ready Hose Company No. 1. The presentation speech was made by Edward S. Keogh and was accepted on behalf of the company by Archer B. Wallace, a member of that com¬ pany.
During the afternoon athletic sports were run off at Olive Boulevard.
The first race was a 100-yard dash. It was won by William Duruz of Bald¬ win, with Fred Hunt of Freeport as second, and Harold Humphrey of Free- port, third. The time was 10 1-5 aec¬ onds.
The 50-yard sack race waa won by Fred Patterson of Freeport; Harold Chase of Freeport, second, and Ells¬ worth Jennings of Freeport third. Time, 15 seconds.
William Duruz of Baldwin also won the 220-yard dash with Stewart Cutler of Freeport second, and Fred Hunt of Freeport, third. Duruz made the dist¬ ance in 2iS3-5 seconds.
Remarkably good time waa made in the three-legged race. Fred Patteraon and Harold Chase made the 50 yards in 9 seconds. They were closely fol¬ lowed by Dr. William H. Runcie and Frank Keogh for second. Harold Loonam and Chester R^nor ran third.
In the 440-yard mn Eaward Mueller of Baldwin took flrst honors; Edgar Hw^ljir of the same village, seoond, andl;f|arold Hwafhrey of Freeport, third. Time, 1 temaite.
Fat men's raea-(K> yards) —First, Lyman W. Taft; s«|aBd. Ar^ur Ams of New Tork, and Aiti, iohn Dierh- sen of Brooklyn. Tima, 71-6 seconds.
Potato race (ten potatoes plaeed at intervals of one yard eaeh; pick up one potato at a time and piace it in a receptacle)—First, Fred Patterson; second, Lyman W. Taft, and third, Ellsworth Jennings, all of Freeport. Time, 4 minutes, 17 2-6 seconds. ^

The length of this Boston to Wash¬ ington cable is four hundred and fifty miles, its total weight is 8,900 tons and it took seven train loads of fifty- six freight cars each to carry this cable.
Interesting facts about thia cable:
The length of the cable is 450 miles.
The number of reels of cable re¬ quired to furnish this highway, 690.
Number of carloads, 392, or
Seven train loads of 56 freight csrs.
Total weight, 9800 tons.
Weight of the copper, 5,860,000 lbs.
Length of the copper strands, 347,' 424,000 feet.
Weight of the lead shenth, 11,060,- 000 pounds.
Area of lead sheath, 169,400 sq. yds.
Area of the paper, 2,900,000 sq. yds.
The large bouquet is made' from a section of a 600-pair cable; 1200 indi¬ vidual strands go to make up these 600 pairs, which are known as "circuits." Every circuit being a pathway for teie¬ phone communication.
In Greater New \ork City there are 1,338,767 miles of wire.
All chis means:
17,500,000 pounds of copper.
44,000,000 pounds of lead.
A combined weight of 61,500,000 pounds of metal
Over 1,000 freight cars would be re¬ quired to carry this material.
WE LIKE TO DO THIS. We received the following letter from a subacriber recently. We wish that more of our subscribers would write us about these matters as we are always anxious to give special inform¬ ation of any character. Dear Editor:—
I think it very nice of you to print the time when taxes are due. Having a little property in Lynbrook and East Rockaway, would it be too much •trou¬ ble to print in your paper? Sometimea it takes some inquiry to ascertain the information. You would greatly oblige a subscriber and reader.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Alvin A. Sealy. In this particular case we are sorry we did not get this a little sooner as the taxes for the Village of Lynbrook were collected on July 9 to 15, at 1 per cent, and the rate is now 5 per cent. Tax bills can be secured upon applica¬ tion to Chas. E. Schweitzer, collector. The village tax collector for East Rockaway has not yet announced his time for collecting.
A QUESTION OF STANDING.
While waiting for a train at Nos¬ trand Ave. station, Brooklyn, I saw train after train stop which were des¬ tined for other points. In nearly ev¬ ery train many passengers were stand¬ ing. It ia a deep mystery why the Long Island Railroad was not the best money maker in the United States. There must be more water in propor¬ tion in the stock of the Long Island Railroad than was ever dumped into the steel truat. If people had not been aa careleaa and indifferent a few acore years ago, ao many over capitalized corporations would not have been in¬ flicted upon the public.—Mohannes, in Hempstead Republican.
Perhaps if Mohannes were to stand in Freeport any morning, afternoon or evening and see the express trains that go through to Babylon and other places to the east of there consisting

Elaborate preparations are being made by the committee in charge for the moonlight aail of Hose 8 (Bay- view) which is to be held on Saturday evening, August 16. The auxiliary yacht Selnada will leave the Casino dock at eight o'clock and a special sail to Long Beach has been arranged for those who do not care for dancing at the beach. The committee in charge consists of Edwin Crossfield, chairman ; Lester Bedell and Forrest DeMott.

Don't forget that the success of the moving picture show on August 4 will go a long way toward the success of the field day. We need between $150 and $200 to run this affair and inas¬ much as there seemed to be so much objection to a carnival the committee has decided to try this means. Very few people will refuse ten cents for a ticket, and if every member of ihe de¬ partment does his part, we should get enough, money for the event, with a few small donations from interested parties.
It now aeema very doubtful that any of the Freeport department will attend the parade in New York City on Sep¬ tember 6, although several invitationa have been received by Chief Loonam, and a verbal promise that if we would attend with apparatus, we would be given the head of the line. This would necessitate about $300, for band and flat cara for the apparatus, or at leaat three daya out of town for the apparatus. Letting the apparatus out of town for that lepgth of time would seem out of the question, although no action has been t*ken by the Council, and $800 looks about as big as a gold mine in the present atate of depart¬ ment finance especially with the Field Day occurring in the first part of that week.
Suffragists to
Visit Freeport
Freeport, July 19—The representa¬ tives of the New York State Suffrage League is preparing to take Freeport by storm on the evening of Thursday, August 7, and on the same afternoon they will visit Long Beach to look for recruits for their cause.

Among those who will MTmake addresses will be Abraham Lincoln Graham, formerly of Brooklyn; Miss Axel Ihlieng of New York, Miss W. Martin and Mias Hutchinson of New York, Miss C. Freeman, formerly a militant in England.
During the vaudeville portion of the evening Miss Miriam Rollins of New York will give ber well known humor¬ ous apti'suffrage,monologue. A num¬ ber of professional vaudeville atars will appear, among whom will be some of the residents of the Actors' Colony in this village.—Eagle.

Sresent at the regular meeting last 'riady evening when Peter R. Brown, Deputy State Councilor, installed the newly elected officers for the ensaing year.

Eiks Break Ground for New Club House Freeport Lodge, No. 1253, Benev¬ olent and Protective Order of Elks, at 11 o'clock laat Thursday evening broke ground for their new $30,000 club house to be erected at the corner of South Grove Street and West Merrick Road. Surrounded by over 100 members of the lodge, Exalted Ruler Stephen P. Pettit tumed the first spade of dirt at exactly eleven o'clock. The apade which was uaed for the turning of the earth will be gold plated and placed in a prominent position in the new building when completed. During the evening the contract for the erection of the building was signed with Brother Aubrey Pettit as the con¬ tractor. The building will be 40x100 feet and when completed it will be the finest clubhouse on Long Island outside of Greater New York. It will be a two story and baaeipent building and will be complete with a large auditor¬ ium and meeting hall, billiard and pool rooms, bowling alleys, and ae a special feature a swimming pool. It will have a polished brick front and the interior trimmings wifl be of the beat. The lodge was instituted on August 26, 1911, and exactly two years later —twenty-sixth of next month—the comer atone of the new building will be laid amid appropriate ceremonies. ! At the time of the institution tiiere were thirty members and at the pres¬ ent time, less than two years, there are 640 members, with a number on the waiting list. Successful Fair The nine-day fair and carnival under the auspices of the Catholic Church of the Redeemer came to a close Satur¬ day evening, when the largest crowd that haa attended since the opening night was present. The large silver loving cup offered by the church to the most pop&lar fire company in the village was presented to the Ever Ready Hose Company No. 1. The presentation speech was made by Edward S. Keogh and was accepted on behalf of the company by Archer B. Wallace, a member of that com¬ pany. During the afternoon athletic sports were run off at Olive Boulevard. The first race was a 100-yard dash. It was won by William Duruz of Bald¬ win, with Fred Hunt of Freeport as second, and Harold Humphrey of Free- port, third. The time was 10 1-5 aec¬ onds. The 50-yard sack race waa won by Fred Patterson of Freeport; Harold Chase of Freeport, second, and Ells¬ worth Jennings of Freeport third. Time, 15 seconds. William Duruz of Baldwin also won the 220-yard dash with Stewart Cutler of Freeport second, and Fred Hunt of Freeport, third. Duruz made the dist¬ ance in 2iS3-5 seconds. Remarkably good time waa made in the three-legged race. Fred Patteraon and Harold Chase made the 50 yards in 9 seconds. They were closely fol¬ lowed by Dr. William H. Runcie and Frank Keogh for second. Harold Loonam and Chester R^nor ran third.

The length of this Boston to Wash¬ ington cable is four hundred and fifty miles, its total weight is 8,900 tons and it took seven train loads of fifty- six freight cars each to carry this cable. Interesting facts about thia cable: The length of the cable is 450 miles. The number of reels of cable re¬ quired to furnish this highway, 690. Number of carloads, 392, or Seven train loads of 56 freight csrs. Total weight, 9800 tons. Weight of the copper, 5,860,000 lbs. Length of the copper strands, 347,' 424,000 feet. Weight of the lead shenth, 11,060,- 000 pounds. Area of lead sheath, 169,400 sq. yds. Area of the paper, 2,900,000 sq. yds. The large bouquet is made' from a section of a 600-pair cable; 1200 indi¬ vidual strands go to make up these 600 pairs, which are known as "circuits." Every circuit being a pathway for teie¬ phone communication. In Greater New \ork City there are 1,338,767 miles of wire. All chis means: 17,500,000 pounds of copper. 44,000,000 pounds of lead. A combined weight of 61,500,000 pounds of metal Over 1,000 freight cars would be re¬ quired to carry this material. WE LIKE TO DO THIS. We received the following letter from a subacriber recently. We wish that more of our subscribers would write us about these matters as we are always anxious to give special inform¬ ation of any character. Dear Editor:— I think it very nice of you to print the time when taxes are due. Having a little property in Lynbrook and East Rockaway, would it be too much •trou¬ ble to print in your paper? Sometimea it takes some inquiry to ascertain the information. You would greatly oblige a subscriber and reader. Respectfully, Mrs. Alvin A. Sealy. In this particular case we are sorry we did not get this a little sooner as the taxes for the Village of Lynbrook were collected on July 9 to 15, at 1 per cent, and the rate is now 5 per cent. Tax bills can be secured upon applica¬ tion to Chas. E. Schweitzer, collector. The village tax collector for East Rockaway has not yet announced his time for collecting. A QUESTION OF STANDING. While waiting for a train at Nos¬ trand Ave. station, Brooklyn, I saw train after train stop which were des¬ tined for other points. In nearly ev¬ ery train many passengers were stand¬ ing. It ia a deep mystery why the Long Island Railroad was not the best money maker in the United States. There must be more water in propor¬ tion in the stock of the Long Island Railroad than was ever dumped into the steel truat. If people had not been aa careleaa and indifferent a few acore years ago, ao many over capitalized corporations would not have been in¬ flicted upon the public.—Mohannes, in Hempstead Republican. Perhaps if Mohannes were to stand in Freeport any morning, afternoon or evening and see the express trains that go through to Babylon and other places to the east of there consisting votee ahead of the field.

T., Juiy 16, 1911L Waat Frccp«tt Ntws aa P« e 8 Don't forget that the success of the moving picture show on August 4 will go a long way toward the success of the field day. We need between $150 and $200 to run this affair and inas¬ much as there seemed to be so much objection to a carnival the committee has decided to try this means. Very few people will refuse ten cents for a ticket, and if every member of ihe de¬ partment does his part, we should get enough, money for the event, with a few small donations from interested parties. It now aeema very doubtful that any of the Freeport department will attend the parade in New York City on Sep¬ tember 6, although several invitationa have been received by Chief Loonam, and a verbal promise that if we would attend with apparatus, we would be given the head of the line. This would necessitate about $300, for band and flat cara for the apparatus, or at leaat three daya out of town for the apparatus. Letting the apparatus out of town for that lepgth of time would seem out of the question, although no action has been t*ken by the Council, and $800 looks about as big as a gold mine in the present atate of depart¬ ment finance especially with the Field Day occurring in the first part of that week. Suffragists to Visit Freeport Freeport, July 19—The representa¬ tives of the New York State Suffrage League is preparing to take Freeport by storm on the evening of Thursday, August 7, and on the same afternoon they will visit Long Beach to look for recruits for their cause.
