Davis are the direc tors for the first year of The Roswell Davis Underwriting Agency, which has been incorporated at Albany to carry on an insurance business, with a capi tal of $5,000. Weak fishing has been good in the new Randall canal and a number of big catches were made. Net fisherman however spoiled the pleasure by plac ing a net at the end of the channel and “ thum p ing” the fish into it. We un derstand this is against the law, and that the gam e protectors are taking steps to stop it. Edward S. Tebbutt, formerly of N. Y., has been engaged as organist and choirm aster of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration and will make his home in Freeport. Mr. Tebbutt was formerly assistant organist of St\ John’s Chapel, T rinity Church, New York City. He will devote most ot his time to teaching music. The action brought by George How ard Randall, against Julius Detmer and wife, late of this village, but now of Somerville, N. J., to set aside cer tain deeds made by Mr. Detmer to his wife, has been discontinued by order of the Supreme Court, Nassau County, Maxson and Jones, attorneys for Mr. Randall, having secured payment of the judgment obtained against Mr. Detmer in the Nassau County Court in November last. Mrs. J. D. Kiefer, who was sum- j moned to her former home in Kentucky j by the illness of her mother, and a rriv- | ed there in tim e to attend her parent during her last illness, and to attend her funeral, has returned to Freeport. Next Tuesday evening the Mutual Benevolent Association will have a moonlight sail to Pt. Lookout. The Decomah will sail from Millburn dock and the N e ttie Belle from W. H. P a t terson’s dock, foot of Raynor St., both at 8 o ’clock. , . Miss Phyllis Sherwood, the clever actress, has just returned from the George Faw c ett Stock Co. at Atlanta, Ga., and in company with her mother Grace Sherwood (actress) is visiting her aunt, Mrs. W. A. Mack. Mrs. Mack, now retired, was formerly a member of Mrs. Leslie Carter, Mme. Schumann Heinke, and was also with David Belasco’s attractions for four years. The Vesper services in the M. E. Church, which were suspended Sunday evening to give place to the union temperance meeting, will be resumed this Sunday evening, at 7 o ’clock. The subject will be “ Jesus, The K ing,” an other of the special services prepared by the pastor, Rev. D. A. Jordan. The subject of the morning sermon will be “ The law of L ife.” At a m eeting of the South Shore Yacht Club held at the parlors of the Benson House last Thursday evening. Eighteen members were added to the roll, making 139 names on the roster. The Building Committee are at work upon plans for the new Club House, to be erected on the Club’s property on the west side of Randall’s Bay and it is expected that the erec tion of an up-to-date club house will be commenced before the year ends. It was voted to have a race for mo tor boats and a clam bake in Septem ber. The constitution and by-laws and flags of the Commodore, vice and rear- commodores were adopted. Complaint being made that some p er sons had been fishing w ith seine nets and indulging in the abominable prac tice of “ thum p ing” or beating the w a ter, thereby making a loud noise, frightening the weakfish, which have been running in large numbers in Ran dall’s Bay of late, Justice W allace and Counselor Henry L. Maxson were appointed a committee to report to the club at a special m eeting what action could be taken in the m a tter and in the meantime to notify the proper author ities to the end that the guilty ones may be apprehended. Under the Forest, Fish and Game Law of this State, thumping and the use of nets in these w a ters are each a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment. It was stated that the Rod and Gun Club, which has a station in w aters nearby, contemplated The M. E. Church was filled Sunday evening at the union meeting addressed by Mr. Reed, Legislative Agent of the Anti-Saloon League, who gave an in teresting and instructive talk on the work of the organization. Mr. Reed in the course of his address paid a glowing tribute to Assemblyman Wm. G. Miller who he said had the reputation at Albany of always being in favor of all good measures introduc ed, and one of the comparatively small number whose integrity could not be questioned. The speaker will prob ably be here again in the Fall. Board of Trade There was quite an attendance at the m eeting of the Freeport Board of Trade in Fraternity Hall Wednesday evening, Vice-President W illiam P. Jones in the chair in the absence of the president, Alonzo Foster, who is touring Europe. During the evening Mr. Jones read a postal from Mr. Fos ter, dated at Lake Lucerne, Sw itzer land, wherein he conveyed his greet ings to the club, wishing them success, and stating that he anticipated being present a t the next meeting, to be held on Wednesday evening, Septem ber 11. Frank J. Wetmore was elected to membership. The resolution introduced by the Ex ecutive Committee, wherein the Long Island Railroad Company was request ed to have the train passing through and stopping at Freeport about 8:12 a. m.. daily, continued throughout the Fall and W inter, was referred co the Railroad Committee. The resolution to request the Village Board of Trustees to have a street light established on Grove street, be tween Pine St. and the Merrick Road, was referred to the Committee on Gas.

John Germeroth, the well-known comedian of Seaman avenue, was at his best and kept the whole house on edge guessing who would be the next to “ g e t a lemon,” as hardly anyone was free from his personal puns.
