THE HIPPODROME.
The belated advent of real winter has had a stimulating effect upon .the attendance ut the scenic spectacle, "America," at the New York Hippo¬ drome and is oijerating to keep the re¬ ceipts up to the happy high standard that the early part of the season and the holiday period established.
The snappy atmosphere sends out- of-town visitors, who otherwise might be viewing the out-door wonders of New York, scurrying for shelter. The Hippodrome is the traditional camping ground of the visitor within the gates and the individual allurements of the (iurrent attraction have served to em¬ phasize that condition, with gratifying results to the management and cast.
A new element of novelty will beck¬ on the visitor during the coming week (week of Jan 25) in the preaence of many of the wealthiest, best-known and handsomest leaders of the Woman Suffrage movement on the atage. Three branches of the Woman Suffrage Party—New York City, New York State and New Jersey, will hold dem¬ onstrations and give benefit perform¬ ances during the week. "The two former are dividing Monday and Tues¬ day, and in addition to making street parades in Fifth Avenue and else¬ where, will participate in the perform¬ ance ef the spectacle, "America."
Fifty selected suffragettes—each a beauty—will take part in every per¬ formance, marching in the ' stage pa¬ rade and partipating in the scene de¬ picting a suffrage demonstration. The banners of their organizations have long beien in use on the Hippodrome atage, but this will be the initial ap¬ pearance of the leaders of the move¬ ment upon the atage.
Among those who will have their debut on this occaeien will be: Gen¬ eral Rosalie Jones, Mrs. Innes Milhol land Boissivain, Colonel Ida Craft, Corporal Martha Klatchken, Mrs. R. M. Griffin, and thirty other prominent women who are working for "the cause."
Following the New York City and New York State demonstration the suffragettes oi New Jersey will have possession of the huge house on Wed¬ nesday, January 28, and will then un¬ dertake to show what the President's State is doing for "the cause."
The identity of the New Jersey lead¬ ers in tho movement who will partici¬ pate in the stagb performance has not been made pablic as yet.

About seven years ago Messrs. Ed¬ ward Simonson, Dr. J. Carl Schmuck, President of Lawrence Bank, and Counaelor William S. Pettit, of Far Rockaway, purchased a large tract of waterfront at Wreck Lead, near Long Beach.
About four years ago the Queens Terminal Co. und the Estates of Long Beach tried to condemn about sixteen acres of the said track for the purpose of dredging a channel 1000 feet wide, and to fill up the main channel that had been the chief waterway for a long number of yeara. Along quite a stretch of thia old channel the shore front had been bulkheaded, and this aection was taken in and filled in by the Estates of Long Beach in their creating and dredging the new channel. Although Mr. Justice Scudder had ap¬ pointed a Commission to condemn the property they desired. Messrs. Simon¬ son, Schmuck & Pettit appealed from the report of said Commission to the Appellate Division, on the ground that no individual corporation has a right to condemn property for their own oer- sonal gain. About a year ago the Ap¬ pellate Division handed down a deci¬ aion sustaining the plea of the owners, when the case was again appealed to the Court of Appeals, which, at Al¬ bany, on Thursday last, handed down a decision in favor of Simonson, Schmuck & Pettit.—Recorder.

By resolution of the Town Board of the Town of Hempstead, at a meeting held on Monday, January 19, 1914, a committee consisting of Justices Jones, Raisig and Neu, were appointed to go into the question of what authority the Town Board may have in expending Town funds in dredging out the chan¬ nel running from Sea Dog Creek and Dutch Gunning Lead. The committee has decided to hold a pablic hearing at Fraternity Hall, in tbe Village of Freeport, this Wednesday, January 28. at 8:80 p. m., at which time the committee will listen to all parties in¬ terested. This matter has come be¬ fore tbe Town Board because, of the almost complete closing up of the chan¬ nel between Sea Dog Creek and Dotcb Gunning Lead. This channel is prob¬ ably the most travelled one in all Hempstead Bay, and unlesa this con¬ dition ia remedied, much of the pleas- are sailing and fishing daring this com¬ ing summer will be done away with. All persons interested are urged to be present at this meeting.
