At a special meeting of Merrick Hook & Ladder Co., No. 1. held Thurs¬ day night to amend the By-Laws with regard to smoking at meetings it was declared that there shall be smoking at   the   meetings.     Heretofore   such
smoking could be only by unanimous j ured on the under river schedule, consent, the rights of the individual . being protected. The new regime seems to spell: "If you don't smoke you don't need to come round."

All responded to the dinner bell with good will and appetites and what they did to the fish dinner showed their appreciation of Mrs. Willmarth's efforts in that line.

A New Hudson River Outing
The Long Island Railroad, in connec¬ tion withthe Hudson River Day Line, is offering a most delightful series of excursions up the Hudson to West Point or Newburgh.
These special excursions will be car¬ ried by the big Day Line steamer Al¬ bany and will run on Thursdays during, the summer. ' The Albany is one of the staunchest and fastest river steamers in the world. She carries an excellent or¬ chestra and the entire service, includ¬ ing restaurant and lunch rooms, is of the Day Line standard, which is too well-known to need comment.
She leaves West 42nd Street Pier at 10 a. m. and her passengers will have about four and one-half hours at the great War College at West Point, on which the government is spending $7,- 500,000. or if they should choose to go on to Newburgh they' would have a little over three hours at that most in¬ teresting old city.
In the return one enjoys the sunset and twilight on the glorious river and reaches 42nd Street Pier at 8:40 p. m.
The 34th Street cars run between the foot of East 34th Street and West 42nd Street in about twenty-five nnin- utes and the connection is good.
Tickets for these special excursions are sold at greatly reduced rates and is goes without saying that the trip H worth while.
