MANY ENTRIES FOR COUNH FAIR RACES
¦While many of the tracks through¬ out the Kast fell down badly in the matter of entries In their early clos¬ ing event»r, every horseman in the Bast will be glad to learn that Sec¬ retary Thomas H. Bacon, of Mineola, recsivad one of the largest entries that the track has been favored with In years; as a matter of fact the Terx largest that Mr. Bacon has ever received. .
In addition to the large number of horses named, the list fairly teemii witb quality, and a majority of the best horses that will be seen in ac¬ tion over the Eastern half-mile places are among those named. That good treatment and a high-class racing plant appeals to the boys tbat race horses, there can be no doubt. At Mineola the boys come into direct contact with all that is be^t in this sport of ours. Seeretary Bncon and his assfstants look after every detail to a nicety, no half-way measures in any direction are tolerated, and every living man, from the owner of a sta¬ ble of high-class horses to the fellow that rubs a hoppled bird. Is tieated with the utmost consideration.
All swear hy Tom Bacon, all ad¬ mire him for what he Is—the horse¬ man's friend with a heart as large as a sugar barrel. The list of stables which have made entries in his early closers insure him a series of races for the late closing purses that will be second to none that will race over any of the Eastern half-mile courses this coming autumn.
(Special to the Nassau Post) At three o'clock Sunday afternoon, June 17, m. Rev. Bishop Charles E. McDonnell will lay the cornerstone of the new St. Christopher Church on Merrick Road and Gale Avenue, Bald¬ win. The Bishop will be asstted by Rt. Rev. .Monsigneur E. J. .McGolrick, rector of St. Cecilia's Church, and the Very Rev. Monsignor Francis J. O'Hara, rector of St. James Pro. Ca¬ thedral will preach the sermon of the occasion.
The structure is of granite and lime stone trimming, and is Gothic archi¬ tecture. When completed It will have a seating capacity of 500, and will cost about $40,000. St. Christopher Is considered the patron saint of ti-av- elers and -especially of autoists.
A large gathering is expected, as the church has already attracted con¬ siderable attention. The names of founders, those who contributed $100 to the building fund, will be enclosed in the comer stone. George W. Loft donated fSOOO, and the peoi>'' of the parish have worked hard and sub¬ scribed generously to make the erec¬ tion of the church successful. Thomar- H. Pool, is the architect and Gunn, Van Dale Co. the contiactors. The structure will be finished before the snow files.

The village is mourning to-day the sad loss it has sustained in the death of John D. Gunning, formerly village president and one of the most popu¬ lar and aggressive of our residents. .Mr. Gunning's death ocurred Tuesday evening following one of the happj- est days of his life. He had spent the dav as a member of the Freeport Home Guard patrolling in front of the registration booth, and had partlcl- ruted in the Draft Day parade through tbe village streets in the af¬ ternoon.
His demise followed an attack of ap¬ oplexy when he went to his home on BayvUw Avenue after being released fro.n b.s duties as a home gu»d. Upon arriving at home he told his wife he would go up stalls and taita in th' American flag th.i* bad bet.-i llo.w'ing to the breezes from the house flag staff all day. It is evident that he got a rush of blood to his head while in the act, and died suddenly.
When he did not come down stairs to his dinner, his wife went up to investigate. The attic wu.s dark, so Flie lighted a match and found her husband on the floor, apparently life¬ less. She alarmed the household. A further investigation revealed that he was dead fiom apoplexy. The news was quickly spread around the vil¬ lage, and it was received as a great ,-<pent ih^ day with him at the village polls could not believe the appalling news when it was broken to them.
Mr. Gunning had shown unusually good health all day and was as active as anyone else in the parade in the afternoon. Following his march through the streets, he returned to the polls for service again, and was relieved from active duty shortly af¬ ter 7 o'clock. He greeted his family af ecti'mately when he went home and remaik'.d that he was delayed so long thai he should take in Old Gloiy be¬ fore darkness came.
John D. Gunning has been a resi¬ dent of Freeport for sixteen years, and his strong personality was so marked a one that he was called upon to as¬ sist in civic matters repeatedly. Be¬ fore coming to Freeport he was a res¬ ident ol Brooklyn, where he conduct¬ ed a contracting plumbing business for years. His oflices were at 100 Or- anse Street, Brooklyn.
la 1910 he ran for the offlce of vil¬ lage president, and he was so suc¬ cessful in the administration of his lublic duties that he was re-elected In 1911. He was president of the Freeport Club for two years, and waa an active volunteer fireman, having been a member of the State Firemen's Association, the Southern New York Firemen's Association, tbe Nassau Firemen's Association, the Freeport Fire Department and of Hose Co. No. 2.
He was past master of Jossa I.iOdge, F. and A. M., of Brooklyn; Freeport Lodge, I. 0. O. F.; Freeport Council, Jr. O. U. A. M., and Fraternal Coun¬ cil, R. A. He also had served as past high priest of Freeport Chapter, R. A. .M. One of the most notable of his many big achievements for the village was his movement for better roads, which led to the village appropriat¬ ing '!$50,000 for the permanent im¬ provement of the village highways in 1911. .
He is' survived by his wife, Emma H., and four children. Carroll, of Ama- g.tnsett; Harrison, a Government san¬ itary expert at the Panama, and Grace and Elizabeth. Word was immediate¬ ly conveyed to the two sons, who were away. Carroll was able to ar- r'"e home for thv- luneral, but Harri¬ son will not be tble to return home from Panan^a. Jt'r. GiinnlM was a iiicinber of the official board of the Church of the Trrnsftguration
Thf- iuneral services -will be held at his lale home on Long Beach Ave¬ nue on Friday evening at 8 o'clock.

REGISTRATION DAT
Event Marked by Clos¬ ing of Business and Big Parade
Rising once more to tbe occasion, Freepori took the lead among its sis¬ ter villages in paying tribute to tbe young heroes who registered in ac¬ cordance with the law of the country, and who will doubtless soon be called upon to defend that Democracy for which the country.has stood for near¬ ly a century and a half. The village celebrated in a maner that woi^ ad¬ miration from tbe large throng thai crowded the streets and witnessed a solemn procession of men, women and children, who participated In helping to make memorable an e|)och making date in the history of the nation.
The day was an eventful one judg¬ ed from every aspect and angle. From the opening of the booths until the closing at 9 o'clock in the evening the day was fraught with intense in¬ terest, eagerness and enthusiasm, hy the young men who^registered as well as hy the populace in general who recognized that a duty was then be¬ ing imposed which would eventually mean the assumption of the young men into soldiers who will soon go to France to defy the brutality of Im¬ perialism.
The day was a beautiful one—Tues¬ day, It was such a day as the bright destiny of this country might decree for registration day. A large regis¬ tration was .obtained. In fa<'t, every known person between 21 and 31 reg¬ istered, and not the slightest confusion attended the faking of registration.
Following a busy mor'nfnrr pfif-oi- ling the streets near the registration booths in the event of trouble, Ihc members of the Home Defense League, in uniform, continued their Indefatig¬ able labors by parading through the village streets. The patriotic demon' stration which be^an at 2 o'clock was without reservation, the best and most thrilling spectacle the village ever en¬ joyed.
The entire day was a quasi-holidav here. At 12 o'clock, in compliance with a request sent out by the Village Board, every store in the %illage was closed and remained closed until 4 o'clock. Only two exceptions to this order or request were noticed. The day took on holiday attire. The sig¬ nificance of the occasion carried with It a something tbat was striking and impressive.
The paraders assembled at Olive Boulevard and Pine Street, just as the church and school bell sounded the hour. About four or five bundred men, women and children, represent¬ ing every society and club in the vil¬ lage, were in line. The parade was led by the G. A. R., with Commander W. H. Patterson in charge. A local staff of tbe police came next, after which the uniformed members of the Home Defense League followed. Then came the Red Cross Society led by Miss Gladys Story, carrying a large American flag. The women of the Red Cross presented an attractive pic¬ ture (-> 'vbi p dresses and carrying ;. large banner, about which they all grouped.
The Village Board, including Vil¬ lage President Sidney H. Swezey and Truestee Henry L. Maxon, in uniform, rode in a carriage. They were fol¬ lowed by several hundred jphool chil¬ dren, led by a band. After them came the Freeport Fire Department, and then a number of fraternal members from the diCerent Freeport lodges.
After parading through the streets for nearly two hours the procession ended on Olive Boulevard, where speeclTes were made by Judge Clinton •M. Flint and Supervisor Hiram R. Smith, Special,attention as given by Judge P^IInt to the heroism of the men, who by registering in accord¬ ance with the law were making new history for the nation. He spoke of the deeds committed against this country by Germany and concluded with the hope that the nation will rise supreme to keep Democracy alive. SuiMjrvlsor Smith paia a glowing tribute to tJie veterans of the Civil War and referred to the new history being written, especially on the oc¬ casion of the day—Draft Day. He spoke of the interest that the histori¬ cal side of things hold for us, re¬ counting his recent rip to Boston. #here he visited the battle ground of our first struggle for freedom.

Unanimity has lieen restored in the Nassau County Red Cross Society, and tbe Freeport Branch has been accept¬ ed in good standing, and is now pur¬ suing its labors with renewed vigor to make up for the temporary pause, which came just as the branch was beginning to make headway. Bet'ause of an unsettled condition that arose over a lack of organization, the Free- port Branch failed to obtain its char¬ ter until at a recent meeting of the Nassau branches and auxiliaries when the matters pertaining to Red Cross were clarified and a more permanent organization of the countv was adopt¬ ed.
, Knv differences (hat were upper¬ most in the workings of the Red Cross were laid aSide at a recent meeting held at the Mineola Court House. Al¬ bert T. Tamblin, acting director of the Atlantic Division of the Red Cross, was chairman of the meeting. Thirty- four branches were represented. It was almost unanimously favored bj the meeting to join together as a Nas¬ sau (^)unly Chapter. The only dis¬ senting vote was that of Port Wash ington, which held out for the forma¬ tion of a federation.
As that was not in the by-laws, ii could nol be done. At the suggest ion of .Mrs. Alhert *case. chairman of th, Heinpstearl Branch, and former chair¬ man of the Southern Division, lh*" Freeport Auxiliaiy, of which .Mrs. Vossier was chairman, was dissolv(>d, and that body died ont of existence. The Freeport Uranch wa.i then taken into the fold. Th<' following women were elected officers of the .Nassau County Chapter:
Mrs. Henry P. Davison, of Glen Cove, president: Mrs. K. D. .Morgan, of Westbury, vice-president; Mrs. Wil¬ liam W. Cocks, of Old Westbury. sec¬ retary, and George S. Emory, of Gar¬ den City, treasurer.
The Freeport Branch is soing ahead with its work and is making rapid strides. Under the able leadcrshin of Mrs. Sidney H. Swezey, the hranch had arranged for many financial schemes, as well as for considerable hospital work among the members.
