That the committee of public spir¬ ited citizens w'^o formed themselves Into an association to try a keep the approach to the village by train beautified and not marred by a fac¬ tory, was evid^ced by their deciaion at a meeting held at 31 Railroad ave¬ nue Wednesday evening. They now plan to hold a consultation with the village board on the advisability of calling a special election for the purpose of having the taxpayers de¬ cide whether a bond Issue for the the amount of the purchase price shall be levied on the taxable proper¬ ty in the Tillage.
if the board (Jails for a special meeting the taxpayers will be given an inside price on the strip of land in question. As stated in The Post last week, Elvin .N. Edwards has started an agitation to have the vil¬ lage acquire title to the land between the pipe-line and the railroad tracks and between Bergen place and Long Beach avenue. It was originally in¬ tended that a popular subHcriptlon be taken up, until an amount between $12,000 and 116,000 had been raised. A committee consisting of John D. Gunning, Daniel Morrison and Sidney H. Swezey was appointed by Chair¬ man Alfred T. Davison to investigate into facts. The committee was asked to report back at a meeting last Wednesday.
Aa stated before, the committee went over the situation from every angle and came to the conclusion that a fund of 116,000 hy popular,' po8Hj"bly

subscription would be impossible The only way to bring the matter to a head is to have the people of the village vote on a proposition deal¬ ing with the subject. If the taxpay¬ ers are willing to have a factory on the site of the approach to the vil¬ lage by train, it is up to them. If they think it harmful, they will vote to raise a bond issue, which will not be a great added expense and will hardly be felt. #
A committee Including A. T. Davi¬ son, Elvin N. Edwards, John J. Dolan, and the original three, will meet •with" the village board next Thursday.
If the board agrees, a petition will be filed requesting a special elec¬ tion. It was decided that if John J. Randall, who donated 11,000 when the matter of acquiring title to the | land was broached to him, wished to continue his donation, it will be spent in adding to the beauty of the land. The property here will be rurtted and sidewalked, and ippropri- ately converted into a flower garden, with a fountain Installed in the center.

The Pequots made no idle boast when they declared thai this year's Stag Outing would be a record-break¬ er. Il was. Exactly one hundred and ftfty-two democrats placed their legs beneath the mahogany of Jack Bates, at the White Cannon inn. East Hock- away, Saturday night last. They came irom near and tar, but chielly, ol course, from the South Shore the eastern end of which was especially well represented. North Shore Dem- of'rats are gradually realizing that there are a lot of Democrats out here, and that the I'equots are doing good, disinterested work in rounding them up tor effective party service. The outing was the largest gathering of practical party workers that has been seen over here since the days when Del Brower held the reins and the Hempstead Democracy was a power to be dealt with and was recog¬ nized as such by the State leaders of Democracy.
The blind pianist of the White Cannon Inn drew from Dr. Bulson's broad-brimmed sombrero the lucky prize winners. These were: "Bob" Brower, who got the forty-dollar lamp contributed by Tribesman Henry Fer- rando, and which he will find useful, necessary, in lighting his

Seated at "Ye Table of Head Men," as the menu card expressed it, were the following Democrats, who "cut ice" in their party, each of whom responded to the call of Dr. Bulson for "a few words," the description of each being that furnisfaed by the Pequots on their menu card:

Smith and Boyden were taken in an ambulance to the hospital, where Boyden was immediately operated on. Reynolds were carried to the home of Dr. William H. Uuncie for per¬ sonal treatment. The accident oc¬ curred shortly after miduiKhi. 'l'he men were in Al. Gateiy's automobile, of which they had the loan.
According to the first arrivals on the scene, Boyden was driving in a poorly-lighted section and was mak¬ ing considerable speed when he spied three colored persons iu the road. The automobile was driving dir<'ctly at them. It was certain that the auto must either strike the pedestrians or turn turtle, as the turn necessary to tave the lives of the pedestrians was a sharp one.
Hoyden look the one chance left, and turned the automobile out of the way of the pedestrians. The ac- 'jidenl was inevitable. The car turn¬ ed over on its side and rolled over on its top. The men liad presence 01 mind enough to jump, but they w:ere loo late and were, instead, hurled out. Boyden struck on his bead. The other two were more fortunate.
A passing autoist saw the plight of the three men, while the colored trio disappeared from sight. He notified police headquarters. In the station at the time was Policeman George Boyden. With Policeman 'Elmer Raynor, he assisted in sending Drs. Frederick W. Fletcher and Will¬ iam H. Runcie to the scene, it was yet unknown to him that his son was one of the victims. When Po¬ liceman Boyden discoveri'd the prank that fate hau played with him, he sustained himself from swooning only by a rare exhibition of stoicism

Long Island theatre-^oers, especial¬ ly those who are attending shows in the city on Sunday evenings, and IxMig Island actor-folks, who are -be¬ ginning in large numbers to inhabit villages on the south side, notably Freeport, will be happy to learn that the Long Island Railroad baa made provision for them in Its autumn time table, which goes Into effect on Sep¬ tember 6. V new Sunday night train for Babylon has been provided for, leaving the Pennsylvania station at 11:30 p. m. This train will make its first stop at Lynbrook.
Comparatively few of the summer trains will be discontinued, owing. It is believed, to the fact that many summer residents of Long Island will remain much longer at tjielr country homes than ever before. The likll- hood that the city schools will open later than usnal may have something to do with this.
The servloe on the Montauk Divis¬ ion will remain unchanged until Otet- ol>er 17.

Plans are in course of preparation, by Walter K. Pleuthner, for the con¬ struction of a casino and pavilion at the foot of Eastern Parkway, Bald¬ win Harbor, Long Island. It will front directly one of the Venetian water¬ ways of this southern Nassau County home colony; and, it is designed to be of a social and amusement center for residents and home owners there. The building will be two stories in height, of rural bungalow design and its veranda will for all practical pur¬ poses be a pier where motor boats may be fastened along its edge, thus affording easy access by water as well as land.
On the main floor of the casino will be an extensive central lounging room with a large open fireplace, a spacious main dining room, private dining rooms and ail the modern fa¬ cilities of a yacht club. In the basement will be bowling alleys, a billiard room and toilet accessories.
Extensive grounds will surround the casino and will include tennis courts and an athletic field. Directly on the shore near the waterways entrance to the building will be a neatly designed bathing pavilion with all the appurtenances that afford water sports.
Surrounding the main entrance to the casino from the land will be storage space for the automobiles of visitors. The building will be com¬ pleted and equipped as soon as pos¬ sible. Many residents at Baldwin Harbor own motor boats and enjoy aquatic sports of one kind or an¬ other the year through.
Merrit Cutler and Harry Beebe, of the Bay View Tennis Club, were de¬ feated in the "At Home" Tennis Tournament in Bensonhurst last Sat¬ urday.

Wright lost to the same pair that conquered over the other Bay View players. Murphy and Gallon. The scores were 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The result of Wallace and Wright's game was no disgrace to the Bay View contingent, as this pair is Hkely to return the winners of the doubles tournament. Their biggest obstacles will be R. H. Boggs, of Rockville Centre, and L. M.
