A team of horses attached to a truck owned by the Lewis H.

The team started across the track as the afore mentioned engine started to back out of the yard. It was mov¬ ing slowly. The team stopped. The rear freight car hit the wagon, damag¬ ing it considerably. The team started again, but were stopped at the south side of the crossing.
The driver was called in time to see the wagon crumbled under the wheels Of tbe train.

UWRENCE ENTERS SPEAXING CONTEST
Delegates to Meet at Hempstead to Formulate Rules for Competition
The first meeting of the Interscho¬ lastic Prize, Speaking Association of Nassau and Suffolk Counties will be held at the Hempstead High School in Hempstead on Monday afternoon, March 30th at four o'clock. Dele¬ gates from Huntington, Glen Cove, Glen Cove, Freeport, and Lawrence, the latter of which enters the league for the first time, will attend.
Contrary to the nst\l custom one of the two delegates from each school will, this year, be a member of the faculty. It is hoped that through this change a greater permanency and sta blllty can be given to the rules and regnlations. Becau.se of the entrance of Lawrence into the Association it will be necessary to limit the time ot the speakers to ten minutes.
The Association was organized in 1909 by Superintxjndent Barnes anr •las been an extremely useful means of encotiraging public speaking among the pupils of the respective schols.

SUNDAY IN THE CHURCHES
Rockville Centre Basketball Team
Will Meet Rivals on Home Court
Next Wednesday
The Rockville Centre basketball team will,meet their rivals of the St. George Club of Hempstead, ou the court of the Parish House In the lat¬ ter village in a return contest on next Wednesday evening. The game will in all probability be one of the fastest that has been witnessed this season, i^rofessional rules will govern.
Both teams al-e prepared to make a strenuous fight to maintain their po¬ sition in basketball. Rockvlne Cen- tr(,' in the opening contest of the sea- .<^on defeated the Hempstead contin¬ gent by a comfortable margin, but it is argued that the visitors were unfa- iiiiliar with the court and therefore at a disadvantage.
(Jn the Hempstead court the Rock¬ vilie Centre team recognizes it will meet on unfamiliar ground, but will make the visit with confidence that they can win. A large delegation from the South Side will doubtless be pres¬ ent.
