^eclli City,
Hello, Fred! Many people of ¦''ree¬ port ari' congratulating, and many others will be glad to know that Fred I'ltterman has come back to this village and again .-ntered the ranks of the mer¬ chants.
Some fouilei n years ago Fred, a mere boy, opened a meat market in "Uncle Billy" Patterson's building on South Main stnel. where he not only conduct¬ ed a conservative business but grew in business principles and acumen.
Then came along our old friend Isa- doi e Schloss and the firm of Schloss & PItlerinaii was forini-d. and contiti- ued until alHiut two years ago,when Mr, .Schloss purchased the whole business,
1 Itertnaii will conduct a m.at, vege- lali/i. and fruit market at 74 South Main street. Look up his "ad," In this paper.
Fred Oumpp. who has conducted a meat market at Atlantic and South Bay- view avenues, for a year or so. has rented a part ot his store to Tledmann it KlelliiK, wlio have put In a new and llislclass stock of staple and fancy gro¬ ceries and are also handling and selling all the choicest fruits, berries and vege¬ tables In their season. Surely the peo¬ ple who live ill tlial section of Free- port should appreciate this departure— everything for the table—from one place and give these gentlemen their trade to stimulate the continuaiic of this vant¬ age ground.
Rev, A, C, Karkau, paslor of the Lu¬ theran church on North Orove street, Went to Rochester Tuesday morning last as a representative of his church at the Synod of Lutheran Churches of the New Vork and New Kngland Dis¬ trict, Dr, Karkau Is expected to return this ( Friday 1 evening.
The Ladies' Ouiid of the Churcii of till' Transfiguration held a supp.'r In the . recently completed Sunday school rootn 111 Ihe basement of the church. This, like all olher entertainments giv¬ en by the ladies of this society, was a grand success. More than three hun¬ dr.'d suppers were served.
The proceeds will he given tb the Mill's Club to asuist in the expenses of th.' n.-w Improvements to the basem.'nt.
The prealdent of the guild, Mrs, John D, Oumlng. and the entertainment com¬ mittee deserve especial mention for their efforts and th. success of the supper.
Littlo Jamie McKnlee of 199 Fast Seaman avenue. Is surely some Utile man and -welcome guest and friend to all who know him. He is not yet three years of age, yet goes to the postofflce window and asks Mi.xs Andersen for letters with more pride than is appar¬ ent from any other applicant. Long may he live.

GLADYS STORY AND MARJORIE BOYNTON SMITH AMONG SMITH COLLEGE GRADUATES
Graduating Ceremonies of Class of 1916 Well Attended—Commencement Address by Governor Whitman
NOTES ON CONVENTION,
(By Howard Osterhout,) .Nassau county's delegate Willnir Doughty -picked a winner in Jus¬ tice Huglies. voting consistently for llie New York ex-governor on all three ballots. This should help to increase .Nassau's prestige with the presenl State administration, as Gov¬ ernor Whitinan headed tlie Hughes niovenieiit and naturally sought to ob¬ tain all of the po,ssililc support In his home State iu favor of the win¬ ning candidate,
Herbert Parsons, New ^'ork Slate's new nalional conimitlcciiian, has been proniinfntly mentioned for na¬ tional chairman. In such position lie would rnn .Mr. Hughes' campaign. .Mr. Parsons is a warm friend of the Kepuhlican presidential nominee, be¬ ing one of tlie original Hughes boomers. State Chairman Frederick C, Tanner has al,so been mentioned in lliis connection.
The two most conspicuous report¬ ers to occupy position on the Coliseum platform, were William Jennings Bryan and Irwin Cobb, Bryan hates war but has never seen one, while Cobi) lias the same feeling, but^ be¬ cause he has reported one. When Senator Depew, who addressed the convention, got off one of his chest¬ nuts about the pacificists, Bryan smiled broddly. although his face as¬ sumed a very serious aspect imme¬ diately tliereafter.
Chauncey Depew and "Uncle Joe " Cannon looked more Uke two young prancing colts rather than our old¬ est living ex-congressman and Sen¬ ator ot prominence. Both are well ovei* eighty, but acted under seventy, as Ihey addressed the huge gathering. Senator Borah's speecir was progrefe- sive in tone and was well received. These were the only three asked to address the convention informally.
Reviving the interest in whiskers now that Hughes and Fairbanks are back in the limelight, George Ade very dryly proiiounded the following conundrum: What opera does the Re¬ publican presidential team remind you of? There being no respon.se George himself offered the following answer: "Chin-Chin."
Good Game Expected Saturday,
Till yanii scheduled for last Siaur- day with lh.' Aragon club was call.d off at the lasl minute on account of the bad weather and wet grounds. Tomor¬ row, June 24th, the management has secured an extra good tr.'at for the fans in the Springfield club, with our ol-.l friend','. Abbey pitching.
You win no doubt remember that he l,lay.-d with last year's Manhattan F, C, when Ihey trimmed us 11 to 0 and 1 to 0, This year he has twirled a no hit game and. on M-morlal Day, fanned 23 men, as I guess he Is as good as ever.
To date th.-y hav<- won 9 out of 11 games and those wilh the best home teams of Brooklyn and Long Island; ai turn out and encourage the boys along, because you can brag of a team this year that can't be equaled on the Island.

Some fouilei n years ago Fred, a mere boy, opened a meat market in "Uncle Billy" Patterson's building on South Main stnel. where he not only conduct¬ ed a conservative business but grew in business principles and acumen. Then came along our old friend Isa- doi e Schloss and the firm of Schloss & PItlerinaii was forini-d. and contiti- ued until alHiut two years ago,when Mr, .Schloss purchased the whole business, 1 Itertnaii will conduct a m.at, vege- lali/i. and fruit market at 74 South Main street.

This should help to increase .Nassau's prestige with the presenl State administration, as Gov¬ ernor Whitinan headed tlie Hughes niovenieiit and naturally sought to ob¬ tain all of the po,ssililc support In his home State iu favor of the win¬ ning candidate, Herbert Parsons, New ^'ork Slate's new nalional conimitlcciiian, has been proniinfntly mentioned for na¬ tional chairman. In such position lie would rnn .Mr. Hughes' campaign. .Mr. Parsons is a warm friend of the Kepuhlican presidential nominee, be¬ ing one of tlie original Hughes boomers. State Chairman Frederick C, Tanner has al,so been mentioned in lliis connection. The two most conspicuous report¬ ers to occupy position on the Coliseum platform, were William Jennings Bryan and Irwin Cobb, Bryan hates war but has never seen one, while Cobi) lias the same feeling, but^ be¬ cause he has reported one. When Senator Depew, who addressed the convention, got off one of his chest¬ nuts about the pacificists, Bryan smiled broddly. although his face as¬ sumed a very serious aspect imme¬ diately tliereafter. Chauncey Depew and "Uncle Joe " Cannon looked more Uke two young prancing colts rather than our old¬ est living ex-congressman and Sen¬ ator ot prominence. Both are well ovei* eighty, but acted under seventy, as Ihey addressed the huge gathering. Senator Borah's speecir was progrefe- sive in tone and was well received. These were the only three asked to address the convention informally. Reviving the interest in whiskers now that Hughes and Fairbanks are back in the limelight, George Ade very dryly proiiounded the following conundrum: What opera does the Re¬ publican presidential team remind you of? There being no respon.se George himself offered the following answer: "Chin-Chin." Good Game Expected Saturday, Till yanii scheduled for last Siaur- day with lh.' Aragon club was call.d off at the lasl minute on account of the bad weather and wet grounds. Tomor¬ row, June 24th, the management has secured an extra good tr.'at for the fans in the Springfield club, with our ol-.l friend','. Abbey pitching. You win no doubt remember that he l,lay.-d with last year's Manhattan F, C, when Ihey trimmed us 11 to 0 and 1 to 0, This year he has twirled a no hit game and. on M-morlal Day, fanned 23 men, as I guess he Is as good as ever. To date th.-y hav<- won 9 out of 11 games and those wilh the best home teams of Brooklyn and Long Island; ai turn out and encourage the boys along, because you can brag of a team this year that can't be equaled on the Island.
