Although the membership in the Naasau Coanty Firemen's Association has dwindled to about half ita original nomber, and tbe crowd was not a« large as usually attends such events, the tournament of the Nassau County Association at Valley Stream Wednes- 'day saw several records broken in the contests, and the affair can be consid¬ ered a successful one.
While many questioned the wisdom of Valley Stream trying to handle a crowd and affair of the size of this one, the fact remains that it was well handled.
The parade commenced promptly at 10:30, and was over at 12, tfae march¬ ing being slow and the line of march not being a long one. After the pa¬ rade the guests and members of the press were gaests of the Association a^Schreiber's Hotel, at dinner, and promptly at 1:45 the conteste were atarted.

b Raymore to Wed. Are They Jokingt
Freeport, L L, June 20—HeniV Bondi Raymore, a freshman at Comeil, who lives in this village would today neither affirm nor deny Uiat he had written a let¬ ter to an Elmira paper recently to the ef¬ fect that the matrimonial advertisement which appeared over his name several weeks ago had proved to be a boomeranc, and that he was now engaged as a result of'the practical joke played by some of his college mates.
The flrst advertisement appeared in an Elmira paper during the mo^ of April, to tne eiFect that "an educated young man of good habits and perman¬ ent lar^e income would like to corres¬ pond with young womefn of neatness and refinement, matrimonially inclined." It was siffned by Raymore and brooght scores of replies. The letter which appeared recently is as follows:
''Although theadvertismenfthat was in^rted for my benefit in the nature of a joke, was at flrst quite practical, it has since tomed out to be tne source of the most important event in my Hfe, and I can not refrain from expressing my appreciation to the efficiency of vour columns which has made this most pleas¬ ant event possible. Although it was a cause of much inconvenience to me at first, the matrimonial advertisement brought me an introduction to the person who is soon to become my wife. "In view of the fact that I did not insert the advertisment, I did not take it upon myself to pay any bills that you might send, but after considering the result it would be very unn-atenil of me not to reward you fpr the trouble that it may have caused you and so I now stand ready to pay any 'Statement , that you may send tnat is necessary to cover the expense of the advertisement. Because of the fact that I am to be married this coming summer, it will be impossible for me to return to college next fall and I will be employed by my father. Hence -with the happy results that have followed the advertisement, I believe that it might be said that the final joke is now on the jokers. H. B. B. "Ithaca, N.Y."
Raymore questioned today as to his knowledge of the advertidement, said i "If my name's toit, maybe I wrote it, ' but I nave no recollection of it. A man who will crack a joke once, will crack it twice. After having seen a year of college life, I can now understand a practical joke. If mv friends find hiqipi- nesB in reading euen stufF,-1, too, - am- - happy. I care neither to afl[irm nor d6ny that I wrote the letter which is referred to.   I expect to retum Xo Com-

Chemical Engine—lat. Glen Cove, 5:1; aecond, Woodmere, 6. The record for thia event is 5:2.
Horse Hose Contest—Bay View of Freeport was the only local company in thia event and ran first. After they ran it was announced that the time made waa 1:05:4. Inasmuch as this was only 2-5 of a second behind the Asaociation record of 1:05:4, it seemed conceded that this would be the win¬ ning time, but Valley Stream, who were next, did it in 1:01:2, breaking the record. They were followed by Inwood, who bettered tlieir time, mak¬ ing it in 1:00:2. Freeport thus had to be content with third place in this contest. Glen Cove, Who followed In wood, made probably the best run of the three, but did not get the nozzle oj^.    Ocean Side did not run.
Ocean Side gave an exhibition after the contest with their new aatomobile hose wagon.
