NASSAU DRIVING CLUB
I^arge crowds continue to witness the races of the Nassau Driving Club on the Mineola Fair Grounds every Saturday afternoon.
This Saturday there are to be a number of interesting matches which
{lave grown out of the close heats hat have occurred in some of the races, and there will be a test of the best horses on tbe grounds.
The public are not charged any ad¬ mission, and the ^rand stand is also thrown open free of cost and pro¬ grammes furnished.
Last Saturday the racing was of the very best. Several of tbe races had five or more horses In, ond one race resulted In four heats before It was decided, one being a dead beat.
This occured In the 2.30 class trot. Badon, Colorado George, Bellfalr and Toshie Cochato were the contestants. Each won a heat except Toshie who was not allowed to go In the last heat. Colorado George and Bellfalr went a dead heat in the third heat, and the fourth Colorado George won and made the fastest mile of the race, which was awarded him on that account.
Jean Oakland, driven by W. Car- trell won the free for all trot In straight heats, defeating Kinney Mc Gregor, while Startle was a poor third and never in the showing.
rearing, kicking and Jumping but gave up after about five minutes ex¬ ercise.
To the accompaniment of applause Mr. Stone dismounted and handed the animal over to the cowboys, who led it away. He has been amuslnfe him¬ self at the Stampede and was just In the right humor to show his friends In Broadway how easy it was to break a horse, even before the foot¬ lights.
Others who took part In a varied programme were Don Barclay, Miss. Cecil Cunningham and Victor Moore. The p^rfonnance was given under the stage direction of Leon Redick. The theatre was crowded. The gross receipts reached $3,000, |1,000 of which win go to the Actors Fund, $1,000 to the Lights and |1,000 went to defray the expenses. The Lights i have just moved Into their new club house at Freeport, and their part of the proceeds will go to their building fund.
"LIGHTS" GIVE $3,000.
At the joint benefit given by tbe new actor's organization, the Lights, for the Actors' Fund, and themselves at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York City last Sunday night the feat¬ ure of the performance came late. It was when Fred Stone appeared In his oldest cowboy clothes and rode a bucking horse around the stage, with everybody wondering when the ani¬ mal would leap across the footlights and land on the bass drum.
Mr. Stone began by singing "I'm a Cowboy from the Wild and Wolly West." Then he produced his trusty laraet and after performing three difficult tricks with It a horse and rider appeared and Mi. Stone dex¬ terously lassoed the animal's tall.
This did not satisfy hlra at all, however. He bad promised a sur¬ prise and a surprise he Introduced when two oov/boys from the "Stam¬ pede" succeeded in dragging an ud- broken horse to the centre of the stage. While the cowboys held the animal by the ears with the assis¬ tance of several ropes Mr. Stone threw a saddle over its back, tighten¬ ed the girth and jumped aboard, his two a.ssistants released the frighten¬ ed beast at (he same moment.
A solitary rope stretched across the stage was th* only thing between the bucking horse and the spectators, and those sitting In the front rows became decidedly nervous. But Mr. Stone was master of the situation. The animal did its best to throw him.

STATE LIBRARY NA.HES LIST OF BEST BOOKS.
The New York State Library has just issued Its annual list of best books selected for a small public library. This list, which has been prepared and published annually since 1897, is the chief regular work Of the book selection section of the State Library. It Includes 250 titles chosen from the publications of the preceding year and recommended to the smaller libraries of the state. One hundred of these books are star¬ red as suggestions for first purchase. They are the books which will prob¬ ably receive the widest reading or will be the most generally useful, but the selection In each case will vary and must be made to fit the needs of the community. "Best Books" is frankly conservative and sets wholesomeness before literary merit when the latter Is joined to dubious ethics or excessively up- pleasant realism.
Each entry in the list gives author, title, publisher, price, series (if any), classification number. Library of Congress order number, references to the best available reviews and a descriptive or critical note. When several good books on the same or closely related subjects have appear ed, one is chosen to head the group, and il\e othirs are described In ap¬ pended notes which attempt to so characterize each of the books so tliat the librarian may select the one best adopted to her need.

Several of tbe races had five or more horses In, ond one race resulted In four heats before It was decided, one being a dead beat. This occured In the 2.30 class trot. Badon, Colorado George, Bellfalr and Toshie Cochato were the contestants. Each won a heat except Toshie who was not allowed to go In the last heat. Colorado George and Bellfalr went a dead heat in the third heat, and the fourth Colorado George won and made the fastest mile of the race, which was awarded him on that account. Jean Oakland, driven by W. Car- trell won the free for all trot In straight heats, defeating Kinney Mc Gregor, while Startle was a poor third and never in the showing. rearing, kicking and Jumping but gave up after about five minutes ex¬ ercise. To the accompaniment of applause Mr. Stone dismounted and handed the animal over to the cowboys, who led it away. He has been amuslnfe him¬ self at the Stampede and was just In the right humor to show his friends In Broadway how easy it was to break a horse, even before the foot¬ lights. Others who took part In a varied programme were Don Barclay, Miss. Cecil Cunningham and Victor Moore. The p^rfonnance was given under the stage direction of Leon Redick. The theatre was crowded. The gross receipts reached $3,000, 1,000 of which win go to the Actors Fund, $1,000 to the Lights and 1,000 went to defray the expenses. The Lights i have just moved Into their new club house at Freeport, and their part of the proceeds will go to their building fund. "LIGHTS" GIVE $3,000. At the joint benefit given by tbe new actor's organization, the Lights, for the Actors' Fund, and themselves at the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York City last Sunday night the feat¬ ure of the performance came late. It was when Fred Stone appeared In his oldest cowboy clothes and rode a bucking horse around the stage, with everybody wondering when the ani¬ mal would leap across the footlights and land on the bass drum. Mr. Stone began by singing "I'm a Cowboy from the Wild and Wolly West." Then he produced his trusty laraet and after performing three difficult tricks with It a horse and rider appeared and Mi. Stone dex¬ terously lassoed the animal's tall. This did not satisfy hlra at all, however. He bad promised a sur¬ prise and a surprise he Introduced when two oov/boys from the "Stam¬ pede" succeeded in dragging an ud- broken horse to the centre of the stage. While the cowboys held the animal by the ears with the assis¬ tance of several ropes Mr. Stone threw a saddle over its back, tighten¬ ed the girth and jumped aboard, his two a.ssistants released the frighten¬ ed beast at (he same moment. A solitary rope stretched across the stage was th* only thing between the bucking horse and the spectators, and those sitting In the front rows became decidedly nervous. But Mr. Stone was master of the situation. The animal did its best to throw him. ICE and COAL WE ARE AT YOUR SERVICE 'FHONE OR CALL Freeport Ice and Fuel Co.

This list, which has been prepared and published annually since 1897, is the chief regular work Of the book selection section of the State Library. It Includes 250 titles chosen from the publications of the preceding year and recommended to the smaller libraries of the state. One hundred of these books are star¬ red as suggestions for first purchase. They are the books which will prob¬ ably receive the widest reading or will be the most generally useful, but the selection In each case will vary and must be made to fit the needs of the community. "Best Books" is frankly conservative and sets wholesomeness before literary merit when the latter Is joined to dubious ethics or excessively up- pleasant realism. Each entry in the list gives author, title, publisher, price, series (if any), classification number. Library of Congress order number, references to the best available reviews and a descriptive or critical note. When several good books on the same or closely related subjects have appear ed, one is chosen to head the group, and il\e othirs are described In ap¬ pended notes which attempt to so characterize each of the books so tliat the librarian may select the one best adopted to her need.
