Clothes and the Men,
In the advertisement of their clothes and men furnishings on page 7> ot this issue of The Nasaau Post the Hilton Clothing Company of New York and Brooklyn call attention to a summary of bargains never before equaled in the clothing business. They are a very reputable concern of long standing and worthy of the pat¬ ronage of any who may flnd it pos- .slble to take advantage of their offers
In conjunction with George How¬ ard Randall and the Crystal Theatre of which he Is manager, they have ar¬ ranged to give away a new, war¬ ranted and fully guaranteed $25 suit once a month to the holders of lucky numbers solely as a means of adver¬ tising. Their clothes will perdltt of the moat careful scrutiny and they invite minute Intpoetlon.
All is in readiness for the monster vaudeville and testimonial to the Freeport police department to be held at the American Theatre ou Thursday evening, August 12, the entire pro¬ ceeds of which will be the first hank deposit for a police relief fund. At a apecial meeting of the members of the department held this week, thb Freeport Police Association was form¬ ed and the following police pension and relief committee elected; Chair¬ man, Vlllage President Roland M. Lamb; Franklin Bedell, Captain Carl Darenberg, John J. Dunbar and Wil¬ liam E. Merrill. '^ This committee wili have entire charge of all funds and of the dispo¬ sition of all requests for aid and re¬ lief. At the meeting which was held at the headquarters on Church street, the offlcers spoke enthusiastically of the plans formed aud of the idea in its entirety. It will certainly afford considerable flnancial protection to the men who are the guardians of the lives and the homes ot the citizens of Freeport in all kinds of weather and at all times of the night.
t^laborate plans have been made for the vaudeville. In an interview with Captain Carl Darenberg, originator of the idea and the one who is more re¬ sponsible for the stimulus given to the venture than any one else, on Thursday night, he stated to a repre¬ sentative of The Nassau Post "that the vaudeville would be the best ever. There will be 15 star acts," he said, "to he presented by Broadway talent never hefore seen in Freeport. The members of the actors' colony are most liberal in their suport of this af¬ fair and are aiding ue in every pos¬ sible way."
"Jimmy, my hoy," .said the cap¬ tain chuckling a little, "this is going to be some show and I know from tAe way the people are talking that we are going to flll the house. We fully expect to net over $800. The people of a vlllage never stood behind a po¬ lice department the way the people of  Freeport are standing by us."
The plans for the relief fund seem to have met with tlie unanimous ap¬ proval of the viiiage. They realize the eftlcieucy of the men and are more than willing to do their share In pro¬ viding a proper award.

Entemrisinar Grooervmen.
George E. Seaman of South Main streot is without doubt one of the most enterprising grocerymen in this viiiage. Quite recently bis trade be¬ came so extensive that It became necessary for him to purchase and maintain g^ motor boat for delivery service. He is the man of the hour among all the flshermen and summer cottagers at the various beaches where he has built up reliable trade.
While spending your vacation at the beach drop him a card and any produce of all kinds and descriptions will be delivered promptly.
( Ky Special Correspondent. Hxclusive to The Nassau I'ost.) One of the brightest spots on Long Island, Sunday morning, was Mer¬ rick Bay. In and out of the dock floated pleasure craft of every descrip¬ tion and the broad expanse of water was litterally dotted with sails. On the little beach that forms the moutb of Merrick inlet scores of carefree youngsters, attended hy their eiders, made tlie air ring with their shouts of enjoyment as they splashed and cavorted in the briny water which glistened and rippled uuder the warm rays of a glorious sun. Many par¬ ties who had reached the spot by motor car were indulging in an ex¬ hilarating dip, and several grand¬ fathers vied with one another in ex¬ hibiting the latest modlflcations of the Australian crawl stroke.
At about 1 o'clock a group of boys started homeward, two of the party with bicycles. Walking up Merrick avenue the topic of conversation was mainly anent the activities of Christy Mathewson and Rube Marquard of the New YorK Giants. But when the talk revolved to the more excitable subject of racing, one o€ the hoys, Walter McGrath of the Merrloir Camp Ground, afldrosB'"- •"-¦"-rn Shea, re¬ marked:
"Bet I can beat you to Merrick road." The other l>oy accepted the challenge and mounting their bicycles they rated towards the goal, about 200 yards distant.
Merrick road,  it should be under-
I stood, is the most congested thor¬ oughfare on South Long Island and I the fair weather bf Sunday morning had many times redoubled the normal trafflc. Speeding from Babylon, an underslung motor car of the French racing type, swept westward on the Merrick road at a terrlflc pace. Driv¬ en by a Jap chauffeur, the car con¬ tained Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Matthias. Miss Ellen Brattieton and Richard Waters, all of Toronto, Canada. The machine entering Merrick added an extra sput to its speed, and emitting a long resonant warning It neared the Merrick avenue crossing.
The racing boy bicyclists heeded no warning and In their eager haste to cross the road the big car bore down upon them. The chauffeur made a quick application of his brakes, not soon enough, however, for the next moment the machine had squarely struck young McGrath, who was but a foot behind Billy Shea. The boy was hurtled into space, falling to the ground thirty feet distant. The car stopped and its horror-stricken occu¬ pants rushed to the side of the boy, who. to the amazement of all, merely picked himself up and brushing the dust from his clothes. Inquired if his wheel had been badly damaged. Wit¬ nesses remarked that the incident was a most miraculous escape from what appeared to be certain death, and tho fact that the bicycle was hopeleaaljr damaged strongly corroborated this assertion. McGrath afterward stated that he had heen amply compensated for the loss of his bicycle.
