APPELLATE DIVISION AFFIRMS DECISION OF LOWER COURT. BIG VICTORY FOR EDWARDS CASE A NOTED ONE.
The Appellate Division of the Sec¬ ond Departmenl has affirmed a Judg¬ menl for $8000 recovered by S. Dimon Smith of this vlllage against Dayion Hedges of Patchogue. The decision was handed down on Friday, Presid¬ ing Justice Jenks writing the opinion of affirmance.
This Is the second time this case has been In the Appellate Division. On the flrat trial. Judgment was ren¬ dered for the defendant. Ex-Judge Elvln N. Edwards, on behalf of the plainlirr, appealed to the Appellate Division and that court reversed the trial court and ordered a new trial. On the new trial Mr. Edwards was successful, and the defendant ap¬ pealed lo the Appellate Division, which appeal has failed.
The aclion was based upon two notes given by Dayion Hedges to the Pioneer Iron Works in part payment for the construction of an asphalt plant in the Bronx. Mr. Hedges re¬ fused to pay the notes, claiming that the work was not done properly. The notes were then assigned lo Mr. Smith.
This affirmance will probably end the matter, as the Appellate Division was unanimous in its decision. Hon. Timothy M. Grifflng of Riverhead, and Counly Judge John R. Vunk of Patch¬ ogue represented Mr. Hedges.

THANKSGIVING AT THE NASSAU MOST REALISTIC—ONE OF THE TYPICAL OLD-FASHIONED KIND.
It you haven I been lo Long Beach In a long time, ifs worth a trip Just lo see the increasing growth and up- to-dateness of the place. Work on the boardwalk is progressing rapidly and is entirely finished in front of the Nassau. In fact, it's now an open-air rink where guesls revel in the joy and healthfulnesa ot roller skating.
Thanksgiving at the Nassau was the typical old-fashioned kind one remembers way back in tbe country. The huge fireplace was roaring with the biggest logs from the woods. The ballroom was wonderfully decorated wilh evergreens and smilax and tiny Utile electric bulbs peeped out every¬ where. There was the "real thing" oyster stew with the dinner—some chicken pie—such turkey—and good¬ ness knows what—all for a dollar. Usually Thanksgiving is a "slay-al- home" day; not so this year at the Nassau as every lablo was reserved before noon and before evening the autoa were lined up both sides of the sireei.
Broadway's popular Jack Leth- brldge was among the ringleaders, with Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Dalberg, Herman Groesel and his pretty wife, Mrs. W. H. Reynolds and her two charming daughters, Margaret and Marie, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Parker, Mrs. J. B. Martindale, Dr. Selh Greg¬ ory, F. C. Belle and party, and many others of the young people who us¬ ually add to the many bright lights of the Great White Way.
