Smith and his assistants escaped by jumping into the water. They waded ashore, and after a long wait were picked up by a passing boat and brought to this village. The launch was destroyed.— Press,
Firemen to Practise
The following is a copy of a letter sent by Chief Wallace to the foreman of each company of the fire department explaining the drill to be held Satur¬ day afternoon;
"On Saturday afternoon, October 3, 1908, sometime after 1:30 o'clock, there will be a drill of the Fire De¬ partment. This will be the first day¬ light drill in the history of the Depart¬ ment, and the Department officers hope that you will exert every effort to make it a success, as do the Board of Fire Commissioners,
No member, officer of company, officer of the Department, (except the Chief Engineer) or Fire Commissioner, knows where the fire is to be. This precaution is taken so as to be abso¬ lutely fair toward all companiets. When the alarm is given the Assistant Chiefs will be with the Chief Engin¬ eer.^
Horses must, not be in company houses, but should be standing outside, with doors closed, and no members in any house until after the alarm is sounded. As soon as the alarm is sounded, have someone ascertain over the telephone where the fire is located.
Upon arriving at the fire the Fore¬ men of the Hook and Ladder and En¬ gine Companies will immediately form fire lines, and keep back of the fire lines all those not entitled therein. Be courteous, but firm. The Engine Com¬ pany will not make steam going to the fire, nor attfepch to hydrant upon arriv¬ ing there. The Engine Company will | he'^^'^d''4 J take its jumper and be prepared to give a test, under the same rules as required at Hicksville, and the Board of Fire Commissioners will act as Judges and Timers thereof.
The-^ook and Ladder Company will be prepared to use its various  ladders,
Base-Ball
The Freeport Club /Jase-balJ team wound up its regular playing season at the Mineola fair last Wednesday. Al¬ though getting a poor start early in the season, they wound up the last month in great shape, playing good base-bail and getting the people so interested that they turned out loyally and gave the team good support. Many experi¬ ments were tried during the season, trying out different plavers, and not until about the second week in August did the team get in shape and since then practically the same men have played every Saturday I
Starting  with Raynor, who was  the only man to play every game,   to  him belongs the credit of being the best all around   player  on   the   team.      When ] the   season   started   Milton, or   Pillie, ' as  he   is  generally called, wa.s a good . player but at the finish he was a  star. | There  was  nothing  that could get by; him   at  third  and  half  the  time   he' covered    so    much    ground    that    he robbed Levy  of chances.    During  the season he did not drop a fly ball and he made some of the prettiest   catches  of foul   flies   imaginable.    We  all   know what   he   can   do   at   the bat and have , always   counted   on   him   to bring in a i run when it waa needed.    On the   field ; he   is   a   quiet, unassuming player, al-, ways a gentleman and is no doubt  the : general   favorite  of  the  fans.    From; June 8 to September  23rd,   out  of  85 chances at third he accepted 81; in the ! eighteen  games  between   these dates \ rrors.    . j
Levy, anothei* local man, played a \ brilliant game at short, iie robbed '¦ the opposing team of many hits and : played a good all around game both in the field and at bat. Although called i Shorty,   it  was hard work for anyone j
at the finish it was found that Jthe Merry Widows had defeated the Duck¬ lings by the score of 11 to 9. Mr. Gunning as umpire was mobbed on two or three occasions, when the girls did not take kindly to his decisions and threatened to forfeit the game. Took¬ er as Marcelle Wave managed to get evening hit every time he came to the bat. Levy and Corby as the gold dust twins made quite a hit, and there were other good  costumes.    The- continuous  per-
' formance started at 3:45 and had to be called at (> p. m., as the Merry Widows had to be home early.    They said they
. were afraid to go home in the dark.

Editor Review:
In the financial statement of the fair and carnival of the fire department, which statement you kindly published last week, it appeared that Supervisor Smith Cox donated .$25. He donated $25 before going away on his vacation, but instead of keeping all of it as a donation, Miss Bessie Mayland and .Mrs. Walhice took $10 worth of chances on the various articles offered in draw- ing.s, taking same in the name nf Mr. and Mr.s. Cox. This was unknown to the donor and you can imagine he was surprised on returning from his vaca¬ tion to find that he and his wife had won a number of articles. His only re¬ quest when he made the donation wa.s that if any poor people came to the fair for the committee to provide them with .supyper, which was done.
The statement also shows a disburse¬ ment of $115.12 for ice cream. This should have been $125.12, Mr. Chas P. Smith returning $10 of the amount to the Department as a donation. Since the report was published $5 additional has been handed in by one of the.. La¬ dies' Committee, it being a donation from R, H. Kelby.
Thanking you for making these cor¬ rections to my report, I am,
Respectfully yours.
