A VVord About Engraving
A few weeks   ago I   had a chance to : make a good   week's   wages off an en- ; graving order.     I was afraid  to risk it : for fear my wholesale   jobliing concern i might not deliver the work on time, so i I referred   my   customer to a large en¬ graving place on Fifth   Ave.,   reputed to be one of the best    concerns in New York City.    They promist the work at a certain   time   and   disappointed   the ; people twice   before finally delivering, ¦ ; and when the job was aci'ially rc-idy it'] . was not as ordered and work for which ' they   charged and kept extra   pay was not  done.     Hereafter   I   will   take all orders myself for engraving no matter ] 1 how big.    I get my work   done from a I concern in Chicago   with   whom I have I been   dealing   for tho p^st two   years. ' I As   an instance cf their   promptness, I; I sent them a plate by   registered   mail,; 1 to get some cards   engraved,    and   the i cards reached me <n the same  mail   as . ! tbe receipt from the post office for the! plate delivered to them.

On Washington's Birthday Eve, Tuesday, the masque and civic ball given by the Every Ready Hoae Com¬ pany, No. 1, in Sigmond's Opera House drew a large crowd, both of masked dancers and others. The hall was pret¬ tily festooned and good music waa furnished for the dancing.

(Special ('(irrespondent i
Fell. 21, Il'll. D.;r Hill:
At last the tri-cluh bowling tourna¬ ment is settled and as expected, our boys walked off with the tup; and Ami¬ tyville, well, they're good sports but hard losers. We bad a good crowd out, about forty, I think. Why even Kd Cook was there ; the large attendance seemed to pleased Tom Sproull ; he waa exceptionally pleased, looked as though . he had lieen reading Hetty Vincent's advice to lovers.
Don McKeeman didn't bowl, Charlie Mack took his place. George Fyfe and little Wilile bowled the highest acore. Walter Johnson, well, he's .from East Rockaway you know.' The Amityville boys just jollied him so he went all to pieces the first gan e. !
We certainly rattled Gardner if the Amityville's, the 2nd game he only bowled l.'U and when the game was over he had the ap|iearance of tne sil¬ ent sphinx or a dead mummy kinder petrified you know.
After the game was over the Cale donians had an argument with the Wangdiiodle.-:; the outcome was a chii- lenge to bowl three games for po iii:- to take place on our alleys the following Monday. The Wangdoodles agreed lo blow the other team and ten guests if they lost; well they loirt all right ; why there was nothing to it, t^aledo ians won by 709 pins; the only thing the Wangdoodles got was a reputati((n for ordering dinner.''. There waa quite an argument as to where the dinners shoukl be served, several places were rnintioned; Garden City Hotel, St. Ri'l^is, Nassau and Alderman Charlie's Hopeyerchoke restaurant, .-^ome of us really thought it wouid be a dinner of ham and hear.s at tho all night lunch wagon. They finally seh cted the Hopeyerchoke as it was a nice quiet little place where one could use a knife for the purpo-<e of transferring nourish¬ ment to his moutli without attracting undue attention.
We had a good time, everyone en¬ joyed themselves. Arthur Nosworthy was toastmaater, Ham King was called upon for a speech, as captain of the winning team. He naturally felt haii- py ; as he arose to speak one could fairly see a thrill of ecstasy vihrate through his gothic system; the only thing he said was to thank the easy ' marks for the bountiful repast an 1 issue a chal¬ lenge to bowl any team, any place, any time. This was eventually accepted by the guests wiio picked a team to be known as the Mollycoddles ; the game will he bowled next Monday evening at the clubhouse; it looks easy for thc guests.
A .'iOO party will be pulled off at the club house Monday night,
A Sliecial nieeting of the Directors will bo held Satunlay night for the pur¬ pose of considering a iltep laid plot, exploded by Tim Cutler for the better¬ ment of the clul).

An assembly dance will be held at tho Fren()ort Club this evening. The patronesses are Mrs. Charles H. Pond, Mrs. P'rodorick ('. S. Knowles, Mrs. Timothy R. ('utler, Mrs. Henry L. Maxson, Mrs. John H. J. Policy and Mrs. William H. Grace.
The bowling team which re|)resente(| tbe Freeport Club in the aeries of gamea between tne Freeport, Amity¬ ville and Rockville Centre Clubs have every right to he iiroud of tliemsehes carrying off the honors in the liiial games last Thursday evening and win¬ ning the cut) ofTered aa the prize. Dur¬ ing the iicries each team howled fifteen games with the result that Frocpirt and Amityville teams tied, each win¬ ning ten games and losing five, while Rockville Centre lost ten and won tivo. The two leading teams rolled otf the tie last Thursilay evening on the alleys of the Rockville Centre Cluh. Free- port won hoth games. In the firat the score waa 858- 816 and the aecond 8(i2- 7-14. The series has proved so inter¬ esting that there is little doubt but that it will become a yearly feature among the three clubs. The incal com¬ mittee consists of F. C. S. Kno-wlea, chairman; Albert Earle and W. D. Finch.

I jiublish this week an article from the Hempstead Presliyterian Church Bulletin, dealing with three bills he¬ fore the Legislature. Look it up, read it carefully and then if interested in the pro'.ection of our American Sab¬ bath, protest to our Assemblyman and Senator, as the article advises. As the article saya, it will he a great mis¬ fortune when the Contlnenlal Sabbath lor we might say lack of Sahbath) is forced upon iis. However men may differ as to the proper methoda of keep¬ ing the Sabbath, ail good men are airrced that it should be set apart as a (lay different from the other six daya of the week.
I'm glad the matter of those lights on the Onslow-Moore Company's prop erty is adjusted satisfactorily. Mr. Sealey's company has the unif]ue dis¬ tinction of advertising aTid selling ita land honeatly as ia attested by the fact that a good part of its sales have been to local people.
I am sorry if Warden Dunbar is to be turned out at the County .lail, but il will he a good thing for Freeport, Poliee affairs have been going rather upsy torvey without any captain since Dunbar's resignation, and he will doubtless he olfered the position again now.
It goes without saying that  whoever is elected to village oflicc from time to time S, P. .Shea will remain in the Vil- ; Iage   Clerk's oflice.     His    ailaptability for the otiice is unquestioned.     1 try lo keep in touch with village alVairs th.ir- . oughly   but   when I run   up   against a I new   one regarding such matters, 1 in- ' variably turn to .Mr. Shea   for cnlight- ennieiil.
Btrtl'eoke. collector of the spe ial rireinium ta.x lor fire departments, due from fire insuraiice agents for all in¬ surance on foreign cotnpanios written ill the village, says tne job is not a sin¬ ecure; that he has to work haid to collect the money from sortie of the agents and that there are some who will not pay untii forced to, while oth¬ ers pay as soon as their attention is called to the matter. He mentiotis es¬ pecially in this matter Herman J. Mar¬ tens of Rockville (Centre, who he says sends a check for his account as soon as it hcconiea due.
I'll give it up. Here'a thc situa¬ tion -Albin N. Johnson and Elvin N. p]dwards both seeking nomination for the same ollice. Freeport has among its lawyers a large [icrceYlTage of extra fine men, but none more absolutely on the level and well qualified for a judi¬ cial position than either of these. So what can I do about it? 'Ihe argu¬ ments in favor of one will ajiply equal¬ ly woll to the other. The result of the vote at next Wednesday's primary will tlierefore be the result more of circumstance than an indication that one is more popular than the other.
Tho really regrettable part of this is that tho split of the V(,to hy tho friends of these two may lel in the third man who is not a lawyer and whose busi¬ ness interests are entirely in another village.
In another [lart of this issue is an article from "The Student" arguing in favor of a gymnasium for the High SchojI. The profiosition for an appro¬ priation for this purpose will probably come up at the next school rncotiiig. I (111 not want to advise you to vote for anything without thoroughly consider¬ ing it nor do the FtU'ientf of Ihe school and thia article is publight at their re¬ quest, as they think they are entitled to what they are re()uesting. As I said before aiiyth ng that will keep the scholars in our schools insteai' of allow¬ ing them to go to college to finish their education is an advantage to the vil¬ lage, and nothing will keep the acholars interested in the r home school more than a good gymnasium. Personally I am in favor of giving them anything they a«k for within reason, ds nothing stimulates a man to renewed energy and desirf for study like a mind fresh¬ ened anci invigorated by a reasonable amount of physical exercise.
Just imagine one A   B. Wallace run¬ ning   for office as  Police Justice,    and ; explaining to tne voters  how he runs a I newspaper   in   a   neighboring   village, i which   advertises   broadcast   anything to the disadvantage   of   Freeport,   but when    things   go   awry in the   village where   his   paper is, saya,    "The least the outside world   knows of these mat¬ ters the better."
