We had more news than we could use last week, and such of it as could be held until this week, appears in another part of the Review.
D. U. F. Mott Post, No. 527, G. A. K., was pleasantly surprised at their regular meeting ijaturday evening when a large number of tl;e Women's Kelicf Corps, headed hy the Freeport Enterprise Band, marched to their meeting rooms.
During the evening the Corps pre¬ sented the Post with ?25, several reci¬ tations were rendered and the band furnished music.
Kefreabinents prepared by the ladies were enjoyed by all present.
The annual meeting and election of (illicers of the F. II. S. Alumni Associ¬ ation will be held in the (Jrove Street Building tomorrow, Saturday, evening.
The regular meeting of the Hoard of Trade would occur <in Wednesday ev ening, June 12, but the date has been changed to Tuestlay evening, June 11, and the meeting place will be at Brook¬ lyn Hall. This wil! be Ladies' Night, and an entertainment will be furnished by the Star Lyceum Bureau of New York, through Alonzo Foster, the pro¬ prietor.
Daniel Combs of Freeport, acting as guardian ad litem for his daughter, Addie W. Combs, recovered a verdict of .'?3,2.'J0 last Wednesday from Mrs. Lew Hearn, who is known in the the¬ atrical world, as "Bonita."
Mrs. Hearn formerly had a summer home at Freeport and while driving her automoliile on July 20 of last year, ran down the fifteen year old girl on Atlantic Avenue, Freeport. As a re¬ sult of the injuries the girl had her left limb fractured.^ It was claimed ou her behalf that the injuries were per¬ manent.
The father also recovered judgment of $500 for the loss of his daughter's services.
Mrs. Hearn did not defend the action and the jury after he;iring the story of the accident assessed the damages. The plaintiff sued for S15,000.
C. G. Hill of this Village was at¬ torney for Combs.
MUST RAISE PRICES. !
We have been doing printing for most of the business men of Freeport for the last 15 yeara with very little change in prices, but we find that we must make some advance at the pres¬ ent time, where everything in our line is increased from 10 to 50 per cent. In the last week the price of stock bas advanced from 10 to 12 per cent.
We   have   th refore   revised all our ; prices.     Ihe   advances   are   no  more than   we believe to be essential   under existing  conditions,   and   we trust   to hold     the   patroRage   of   our    many friends.      Nassau County Review, S. F. Pearsall,  Prop'r.

The Freeport High School athletes have won the 1912 pennant in the high school baseball league, and as a mark 'of testimonial for their achievement a reception will be tendered to them at the school house Friday June 7. On that occasion the presentation of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle trophy will be made toKethtr with the High School League cup. The reception will be in¬ formal and speeches will be made by some of the players.
In winning the championship of the South Side in particular thu high school students also added to their records the championship of all Long ) Island. They began the season aus- piciouslv by defeating Mineola H. S., 19-0 and kept up that pace to a favor- ; able degree, until they rolled up a total of nearly 200 runs to their op¬ ponents 29. In sixteen games tho team scored tJ shut-outs and played .S errorless games and won the sixteen games. The lowest number of runs scored by the high school was six on one occasion, seven on another and thon eight and over for the remainder. ; While the league race is not yet Completed, it is assureil that Freeport has won the pennant, as tbe record is now won 8 and lost 0. The next nearest is Hempstead v.ith won 4 and lost ;! while Lynbrook follows vith won 3 and lost 4 ai;d Rockville Centre brings up in the rear with won 0 and lo.-^t X. The latter team hos been un¬ lucky all season. Freeport acomplLsh- ed a feat this year it was unable to do last or at any other time. In swamp¬ ing Hempstead F'reeport lowered the cojors of "Pete' Daniels twice. "Bill" Flerring shut out Hempstead in three games, pitching twenty-six innings without that team scoring. Fred Bedell won an enviable reputa¬ tion for himself by defeating the strong St. Paul College, of Garden City. A perusal of the St. Paul record will show that in defeating the (Iarden City team the FVeeport H. S. |)Ut themselves in a class with many of the college teams of New York Stato.
Bedell had the collegians at his mercy, striking out thirteen and giving them four straight hits. Soper catching was master of his station all season and with a deadly arm wa.s a demon to base stealers. Indeed few ou'side teams tried lo steal and none of the league teams would attempt it. Meaney at first base was a tower of strength. He played the game with rare ability and has in him the mak¬ ings of a second F^rank Chance. His batting was terrific. He leads his team with the stick. "Joe" I'ettit at second out Evered Evers. He has a style all his own and has a knack of "putting it on'' the base stealers that is simply killing.
"Lin" Murray   at   short   stop   gave! an exhibition of how a speedy man can develop.     F'rom a recruit   of   I'.Ul   he blossomed out to be a   fixture   on   the team and he discouraged many embryo Cobbs by his   line   catches.    Fie   was: rapid   on   the   bases.    Pettit     is   the' leading base stealer and run getter  of, the team.    Kuss Randall at third   was a mainstay of the   team.    He  was   at all times steady and reliable   and   was always found "there" in the   pinches. I He accepted a difficult position in   lieu of pitching and more than made   good. In the field Freeport  was  exceedingly fortunate.    It is a   fact that   the  out-1 field went through the season   without an error.    Ohm, a slugger,   was   sure in the field and   was   a   big   asset   in ¦ downing St. Paul. l
"Bert" Edwards forfeited his   place on third bag to strengthen the team in the field and he has the team's respect ¦ for it.    Ted   Wiggins   has  developed . into a capable fielder and saved   manv runs by his aggressiveness.
M. D. C.
As the time draws near for Mr. Bob to make his appearance, interest heightens and from indications a big house is assured the Musical and Dramatic Club on Tuesday evening next. This entertainent like the first appearance of the M. D. C, differs from anything yet featured in our village. The specialty are catchy cos¬ tumes, rich and elegant and tbe selec¬ tions musical, public spirit and inter¬ est in our young people should warrant a crowded house as the Musical and Dramatic Club is the only organiza¬ tion catering to the amusement of our young folks and they are putting their best efforts into this entertainment to please all. Every one knows what a deep interest Mr. Raymore, their di¬ rector, takes in musical matters and how hard he has worked to advance a love of the good in music. Therefore encourage him and his company of players by your endorsement and ap¬ pearance that evening. Reserved seats are fifty cents; go and have a good time.

COMING OP COLUMBUS Released At Last The three reels  comprising the won¬ derful   historical   motion   picture   of "The Coming of Columbus,"  has been released after three   years of prepara¬ tion   and the   outlay of over   $60,ooo. It is the unanimous   verdict   of  those, conversant with the motion picture in¬ dustry that thifc is the greatest motion ' picture ever produced.    The  costumes of the period, the characters who move and speak, tbe three caravels that com¬ prised tbe fleet of Columbus, nis return from   his voyage of discovery   and his subsequent vicissitudes are all depicted as vividly and  correctly as if the  film was   made from tbe   real   scenes  and characters   of   history.

We win arrange to do this    immediatelf.''
