Dayton and Mrs. S. J. Lynch entertained the Ramblers Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Dayton at “Pantigo.” The pro gram was in charge of Mrs. E. E. Eells and Mrs. Paul Nugent, and was on educational institutions of New York State. Mrs. Nugent read a paper on the University of the State of New York, followed with one by Mrs. Pennypacker on the first chartered schools of New York State, which were Clinton and Erasmus Aca demies. In connection with Clinton Academy, she read a very interest ing letter written by Rev. Samuel Buell in 1784, describing the then new Clinton Academy. Both aca demies were chartered in 1787, and Erasmus was eventually given to the City of Brooklyn for a high school. An item of particular interest at this time is that in 1835 a commit tee was directed to set trees in front of Clinton Academy. Mrs. N. C. Osborne described the normal schools of the State, and Mrs. H. L. Edwards the special music courses. Mrs. Eells discus sed the colleges, of which there are fifty-one in number. In keeping with the subject of the evening were old college songs of New York State, sung by Mrs. N. C. Osborne, Mrs. H. L. Edwards, Mrs. Stephen Palmer and Mrs. Donald Gould, accompanied by Mrs. H. L. Edwards on a little old organ. The next meeting will be held November 15th at the home of Mrs. N. N. Tiffany.

Forum Features Story By Dorothy Quick Cattle Driven Off Montauk In Annual Fall Drive Here The historic service rendered the American Red Cross by a great Long Islander, the late Henry P. Davison, is interestingly described in an ar ticle by Anna L. Payne, R. N., of the Nassau County Chapter, in the November issue of the Long Island Forum. Mr. Davison served as na tional chairman of the organization during the World War. A unique episode of the recent hurricane is told by a prominent member of the East Hampton beach colony, writing under the pen name of Dorothy Quick. Isolated by heavy seas, the author’s household was obliged to spend the night in her home, which narrowly escaped destruction. Also in the Forum for November is the history of St. Christopher’s R. C. Church at Baldwin, “ the Shrine Church of Long Island,” where automobiles are blessed un der special Papal authority. The author was delegated by the church to write this article. State Biologist James R. West- man writes on the fish survey now going on in island waters. Bertha Wager Smith, “ the C?-d women of Fire Island,” writes on Long Island shore birds, and Locke James of the State Institute of Applied Agricul ture deftly describes the island’s poultry industry.

Cattle that have been pastured at Montauk for the summer were driv en from Montauk to the farm of Roy Lester at Pantigo in the annual fall drive. The drive started at 8 A. M. Sat urday morning and finished at 1 P. M., making the time for the drive five hours. There were quite a few local riders assisting in the drive | and everything went off very I smoothly. Soon after they arrived the owners started picking out their cows and heifers to take home, and, in a short time most of the stock had been ) sorted out and on their way home. There has been no more welcome news at Montauk in many years than the announcement that William D. Bell and Phineas Dickinson 3d are going ahead with the plans to de velop “Third House” at Montauk in to a \dude ranch,” with many at tractions for those who enjoy out door sports, good horsemanship, and the wild scenery that is general in this area. To be known as “Deen Hollow Ranch,” the Third House will be completely rebuilt and refur nished and will be run along the lines of an old fashioned country boarding home. Paying guests will [ be given the privilege of living at ; the ranch house, riding one of the : farmed out at Montauk during the summer for grazing. A trip to the Third House any of these crisp November mornings will find William Bell, Phineas Dickin son 3d, Bud Mullane, Erwin Schel- linger and others busy at work con- -.tructing a corral in which the eleven wild horses will be trained and broken before Spring. The arena is being built exactly the same size as the one used in the Madison Square Podeos. There will be a chute in the far end of the corral into which the wild horses will be driven and saddled. Thereafter, one of the more daring of the cowhands will attempt to ride the horse and many thrills WILD HORSES AT MONTA UK PREPARING TO DINE AMERICAN LEGION NOTES The last meeting of Edwin C.

OUT ON THE RAN GE AT MONTAUK An anchor which has been iden- fied as the one belonging to Samuel Edwards, and the one in use on his boat at the time of its disappearance, has been brought to East Hampton and is now in the custody of John Howard. A fisherman, Lewis Fiedler, of Greenport, was fishing near the Old Fort in his beam trawler, and on several occasions struck something the bottom that he couldn’t move, at one time having to cut his net clear. He was successful, how ever, in bringing to the surface an inchor with line attached. Not knowing to whom it belonged, he returned to Greenport with it. John Howard of this village, after hear ing of the incident, asked that it be brought over to East Hampton to see if it could be identified. It was brought over by Vail and El- dredge of East Marion and several people who were familiar with the gear used on the Edwards’ boat have seen it and say that it is the one from that boat. Some of those who have seen the anchor and rope and recognized it are John Howard, his son David, who has one exactly like it; Capt. Merton H. Edwards, and Alvin Bennett, who worked with Sam Edwards last summer. By bringing the anchor to light it is supposed that the boat itself has been located. The fact that Fiedler on several occasions had to let go of his net is significant that the boat is in the same location. Captain Herbert N. Edwards has offered to raise the boat on the first day possible. The spot has been marked by Mr. Fiedler by a buoy and he send? word : ' the buoy should have been moved he is quite certain that he can still find the spot.
