M
Base Bally Dancing and Feasting, Band, Fea¬ tures of the Day
Summer ended in a blaze of glory and feasting down at the Lights Club Sanday when the Lights and Elks got together in a huge clam bake and day of fun.
Five hundred Elks and their famil¬ ies came from all over Long Island, New York, Brooklyn and the Bronx to do justice to the cooking of Chef Oscar Boss and his able corps of as¬ sistants.
Preparations were started early in the moming when prominent mem¬ bers of the Freeport Lodge of Elks headed by Exalted Ruler Albin N. Johnson went clamming.
Tables were set out of doors and the feast was prepared on the beach in the good old fashioned way that left nothing for the critic to do ex¬ cept to let his belt out another hole.
Lobsters, clams, salmon, com, po¬ tatoes done to a tender appropriate color, were served by imported wait¬ ers promptly at the scheduled hour, 4:30, and it was a feast for the Gods! Baseball Game
In the afternoon baseball was in¬ dulged in by the Lights versus the Elks. Fred Gray gave decisions help¬ ful to the Lights and Archie Wallace favored the Elks all he could. The score was not made public due to the fact that "chow call" was sounded in the midst of the fifth inning and ev¬ eryone made a rush for the tables. "The lineup for both teams was: Har¬ vey, Maurer, Max, Davis, Shepp, Wil¬ lis, Bradley, O'Brien, Ely, Neuberg- er. Tack, Eldridge, Coleman, Susskine, Bards, Hall, Kirshbaum and Shorty Rice, late of the Cincinnati Reds, the Memphis Blues, the Paris Greens and the St. Louis Browns.
Music Galore
The Gray Elks Band furnished mus¬ ic during the whole afternoon playin,'r for^he baseball game and on the l»Wn\of the club house,
TheV whole day passed as another
EloriouA one in the annals of the ights Club and Freeport Lodge of Elks. ' . .
In the evening jaz was wriggled out of various instruments for the pleasure of mincing feet and shaking shoulders. The stage of the Light-s Club was very prettily set, flanked as it was by two light houses and toppeJ by the Lights Service flag with its 30 ever glorious stars.
It looked for a time in the morning as though the day would be a failure on the part of the weather man, but the sun won out in a battle with the mists and burned with its old-time in tensity for the aftemoon.

ISSUES DANCING LICENSE
New Auditorium To Be a i'lace for Those Who Are Not Club Slif'mbers
Village President Clarence Edwards ha.s issued a license for dancing at the uu<iitorium now being erected at the corner of Smith street and South Main street.
Mr. Edwards stated that he had granted the license only after very careful consideration and that the mo¬ tive impelling him to do so was the fact that the average young person had no place to go and dance in Free- port.
The fortunate members of the va¬ rious clubs in town have a great many dances every winter that are absolute¬ ly unrestricted. The Village Presi¬ dent felt that those who could not af¬ ford to be members of these clubs should have every assurance that the dances will be run under the strictest rules of decorum.

MINEOLA FAIR
OPENS TUESDAY
"Biggem' Bettem' Erer"—Large Entry List—Fine Race Pro¬ gram and "Midway"
Next Tuesday will mark the open¬ ing of the Mineola Fair held under the auspices of the Queens-Nassau Agri¬ cultural Society on the Fair Grounds at Mineola.
The Fair will last until Saturday night, and nothing ha>, been left un¬ done to make it the biggest in the long and successful history of the Society under whose management the fair is held.
One of tlie innovations this year will be the "Midway." The mariage- meiit reports an unusual number of entries in all departments and the cat¬ tle, poultry and agricultural features will be greater than ever.
The rucing program has been care¬ fully prepared, and there will be trot¬ ting and pacing events each aftemoon of the fair.
The horse show will be one of the attractions and indeed, such care bas been token in the arrangements of all the departments that every patron will flnd something of great interest.
According to the plans of thp village of Freeport the old burying ground on Church street is going to be re¬ moved in order to allow for the need¬ ed expansion of the town along build¬ ing lines.
This cemetery is one of the old landmarks of the town and is a good many years old. It has been known as the "Presbyterian Burying Ground" but this is a misnoma. The cemetery has no connection with the Presbyter¬ ian Church in any way.
Only Two Caretakers Furman Seaman and his father, David, before him have been the only two caretokers that the cemetery has ever had. No plans or plot map.s have ever been made, but the present care¬ taker can tell the location of every grave in the place, which number close to a thousand. The cemetery has been condemned as being; unsight¬ ly and also on account of the fact that the property could be used to good advantage in enlarging the present high schooU as was suggested at the last school meeting, as well as to build a municipal building here, some¬ thing that will be necessary in a few years at the most.
No Opposition Looked For It is not expected that meinbers of the families whose remains are bur¬ ied there at the present time will ob¬ ject to having them removed, . If a plot is secured at (ireenfield as is plan¬ ned now, it ought to meet with ap¬ proval for the present resting place of the dead is not a thing of beauty or dignity as a cemetery should be. Many Neglected Graves Many of the graves there now hava been woefully neglected for a good many yaars. A trip through the cem¬ etery discloses graves hidden under a jungle of vines and weeds and in some cases trees ten or twelve years old liave grown in the middle of a plot. Buried undor weeds that are as nigh as the headstone lies Elijah Raynor, who foujrht in the Civil War and who (lied following the battle of Cold Spring Harbor. He was a member of Co. .\, i:!9th Rent., N. Y. Vol.
The iMott graves situated near tho monument of \), B. 1'. Mott' Post of the (J. A. U., are overgrown and cov¬ ered with weeds.
Work cf Vandals One winter not long a^o, vandals went throutrh the little ctinetery and triod to see how mfany stones they cdulii break oif and otherwise destroy. They succeeded in spoiling about 80 tliis wiy, which added to the neglected graves, making the cemetery an eye¬ sore.
A Small Jungle The west end of the cemetery is a \ eiitable jungle x.it!'. weeds and bram¬ bles so high and tliick that it is im¬ possible to see the headstones at all without cutting away the growth. Weetis to the height of six feet are a common sight. The names on the long ne^'leeted gravestones represent the best known familjes of Long Isl¬ and such as Raynor, Pettit, Mott, Ed¬ wards, Miller and Chapman. In ono corner of the grounds is a monument of the Hewlett family and it is com¬ pletely covered by a large tree that grows close beside it, as well as a heavy growth of vines and brambles. Stones as recent as 1903 show signs of having been neglected since that (late. Most of them are old stones dating back to around Civil War days. Several plots are completely over¬ grown so that it is impossible to find a stone within them, the only evidence of a plot being parts of the fences that are visible.
Seen from the Street While most of the neglected plots are tucked away in the back oi the burying ground and on the side, there are some right near the street next to the church that are almost hidden by vine« and weeds.
If properly kept up the little ceme¬ tery would be a source of pleasure and pride to Freeport, but as it is, most peo¬ ple feel that the sooner it is removed the better. At Gaeenfleld each will have care and sunlight and not be smothered beneath a tongle as dark and inaccessible as the jungles of the tropits.
B. & B. LAUNDRY ENTERED
Attempt Made to Blow Safe—Explo- sivee Used in Amateurish Way
Another robl)ery was added to Freeport's list Friday night when the B. A B. Laundry on East Merrick road was broken into. Entrance was gained through a door in the rear by unscrewing a hasp.
Explosives had been used on the safe in a most amateurish manner that brought no resulU. Tlie robbery was discovered Saturday moming when the place was opened for busi¬ ness.
