THE HIPPODROME. j'
Armies of visitors in the Metropolis i —attracted by   the   automobile   show, { post-holiday sales, spring buying, trade { conventions and a thousand and one al¬ lurements    of   the    season—continue through   their patronage to make  the j current year the most   prosperous  the New York Hippodrome   has  ever  ex- j perienced.    This ia  particularly  true I
Dinner
A better bigiiwuys dinner with the double purpose of reviewing the work of the piii. I j'tir, and of giving those interested an idea ef the plans for the next twelve months, will be held by the Nassau County Association' Com¬ mittee on Road Maintenance and High ways, Saturday evening, January 17, at 7:80 o'clock, at the Garden City Hotel. The dinner will be attended by all residents of Nassau bounty who have the improvement of the roads at heart whether they are members of the association or not, and a large at¬ tendance is expected.
The committee that has the arrange¬ ments for the dinner in hand is plan¬ ning an interesting program of speech¬ es, and among those who will be heard are John M. Carlyle, State Superin¬ tendent of Highways, Director Page, of the Office of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, and G. Holland Leavitt, of Queens.
Tbe aim of this dinner is to enliat the cooperation of residents of Nas¬ sau County who have not already joined in the movement for better highways, and to let them a'<\ know juat what this branch of the Nassau County Association is doing. "We are especially anxious to interest the Nassau County people," said William W. Cocks, of Old Westbury, who is president df the committee, "but we would be equally glad to have people interested come from other counties as well."
Rev. E. Fred Eastman, of Locust Valley, Secretary-Treasurer of the Committee, expressed similar senti¬ ments and added: "We hope to have 150 to 200 citizens of this and neigh¬ boring counties present, and with a program of speakers who are recog¬ nized authoritiea on the subject, fill them full of entbuaiasm and good ad¬ vice about better roads."
The executive committee of the Nas¬ sau County Association Committee on Road Maintenance and Highways is made up of twenty-nine prominent residents of the county. Its officers are: William W. Cocks, Old Westbury, president; F. N. Doubleday, Locust Valley, first vice president; Hiram R. Smith, Rockville Centre, second vice president, and Rev. E. Fred Eastman. Locust Valley, secretary-treasurer. The committee was originally organ¬ ized by a few residents of the coanty in October, 1912, onder the title of the "Nassaa Coanty Road Maintenance Committee," and its announced object was "To promote the proper construc¬ tion and maintenance of highways in Nassau County, New York." The aim of the committee waa to have as large a popular membership as possible.
After a year's successful work it wus decided that the object of better roads would be served to better pur¬ pose if the committee amalgamated with the Nassau County Association which was carrying on a general plan of betterment along a good many lines —particularly as most of the members of the good roads committee already were members of the association. Consequently in November, 1918, the committee became the Nassau County Association Committee on Road Main¬ tenance and Highways.
Tickets can be obtained at $2 a plate by applying to any of the following members not later than 10 o'clock Sat¬ urday morning, Jan. 17: George M. Hewlett, Merrick; Raymond Smith, Oyster Bay, Rev. E. Fred Eastman, Locuat Valley; John A. Albertson, Westbory.
