All the members of the Town Board were present at the meeting Monday afternoon.
The matter of extending the mains in the Roosevelt Water District and tbe placing of additional hydrants was laid over antil the next meeting. The extensions wanted are 1000 feet on Centennial Avenue and 1000 feet on Washington Avenue.
T. Paruons and John White as a com¬ mittee appointed by the Board of Di¬ rectors of the Hempatead Bay Yacht Club appeared before the Board and brougbt up the matter of the promised waterway that was to have been dug by the Estates of Long Beach under the original transfer of property of the Town to that concern. The committee called to the attention of the Board the fact that although an extension of three years had been granted the pro¬ moters, nothing as yet had been done toward completing the work. They stated that the Club f^lt that some¬ thing should be done and the commit¬ tee, both of whom are lawyers, offered their services toward the successful termination of the issue. The exten¬ sion of time expires within a few months. Mr. White stated that unless the Estates did the work as stipulated in the contract and bund, they would go as far as commencing suit to set aside the conveyance, if needs be.
They were assured that the matter would be taken up in the near future.
A lease of marah land on Long Creek to George Frace was executed by the Board.

Val¬ entine pitched a fine game, atriking out five men, giving no free passes to first and besides pitching a no-run game, didn't even let them get a single hit to tbeir credit, although he re¬ ceived excellent sapport from the whole team, only two errora being charged against the local boys, neither of which were costly. For Amityville J. Ketcham and Schuritz ware the bat¬ tery and also did creditable work for th^r team. Ketcham strack out five men, gave 3 free passes and allowed six hits. Although Beiimore received six rune, only three were earned. Had it not been for the errors of Borch, G. Ketcbam and Wardle, the game would bave been one of the beat ever played on tho local diamond.
