Landfier, who has the contract to paint all the pumping stations of the City of New York between Rockville Centre and Massapequa, has opened an office at 40 South Grove Street. Episcopal Church to Incorporate Monday evening the members nf the Episcopal Church of the Transfigura tion voted to incorporate it as an inde pendent Church. Previously it has been a Cathedral Mission, under the direction of the Cathedral of the Incarnation of Garden City, but within the past year success ful efforts have been made to clear the parish of all debt which permits the members of the church to incorporate if they so wish. The meeting was called for Monday evening. Rev. A. W. E. Carrington, the rector, acted as chairman of the meeting while John D. Gunning re corded and John S. Sumner acted as legal advisor. It opened by singing \Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus\ and praytr by the rector. Following some preliminary work Donald S. Mackey offered a resolution that the church be incorporated and Thomas Burleigh offered one to the effect that the church be incorporated as \Church of the Transfiuration of Freeport, N. Y.” Both resolutions were carried. The resolution of Wil liam H. Sammons that the annual meeting be held on Monday of the week commencing with the first Sun day in Advent ( Dec. 2 this year) was also carried. It was decided to have 6 vestrymen and two wardens and the following was the result of the voting: Messrs. Cheshire and Harrison were j declared elected to hold office as ves trymen until the next annual election; j Messrs. Starr and Austin for one year I after the annual election and Messrs. ! Kellum and Grace for two years after the annual election. As wardens John D. Gunning was elected until the next annual election and Thomas Burleigh for a year from that time. The Episcopal Church here is 17 years old and in the not distant future it is hoped to erect a Guild Room or , other building for the purpose of keep ing the young people together and have them most interested in church work. The present rector, Rev. A. W. E. Carrington, came here in November, 1910, at which time the Men’s Club was organized. Since that time $600 has been paid off the mortgage stand ing against the place and arrangements were made, whereby the Cathedral authorities offered to give $2000 to ward paying off the remaining $4000 if the church would raise a like amount within a year. This year is not up un til July 1, but the money has been raised and the mortgage will be paid at that time, it was largely through the untiring efforts of the rector, as sisted by the Men’s Club and various other organizations of the church, that the amount was raised.

It Speaking Contest In the speaking contest Friday night | among pupils from the high schools of Huntington, Hempstead, Glen Cove j and Freeport, that was fraught with i interest, Huntington won with Hemp stead second, Glen Cove third and Freeport, for the first time in its his tory, finished without a point. The speakers did so we!1 it was hard to distinguish \best\ among them. The pieces selected were well chosen, well rehearsed and given by each stud ent with a finish that was almost per fect. Hyman Nosewitz, representing Glen recited Davis’ \The Prisoner’s in excellent voice and with goo j ! Cove, i Plea,’ effect. He was followed by Miss Martha Ryan, who gave Moore’s \Ole Mistus\ ' for the honor of Hempstead High. Miss Ryan was in complete control of her high notes, but had a difficult role. Archibald Maxwell rendered \The Wonderful Tar Baby,” for Hunting- ton's glory. His dialect was splendid nor did he falter once in its rendition. For Freeport Miss Olive Phillips held sway with Galpin’e \A Lie for a Life.\ She was fine in her gestures and articulation. Her voice carried effectively to the rear of tne hall and her modulation was noteworthy. In reciting \Zingarella ” for Glen Cove High Miss Jennie Grant had a vehicle appropriate to her pitch of voice and she made the most of it. Hempstead had Bennet Ertell in the front among the boys. He recited , \The Good Fight,” and he did it well He was sure of himself and he lost no ! opportunity to display his oratorical ability. Anna Cushing for Hunting- ton was exceedingly effective in her recital of \A Woman in a Shoe Store.\ Miss Cushing was natural and was well received. Leo Schloss gave a good account of himself in \The Hip podrome Race. ” At the close of the contest Principal Bennett of the Hackensack High School indicated in a brief speech that he was opposed to the decisions of the majority but that he was called upon to make them known. He sain the de cisions were by no means unanimous. The majority gave first place among the ooys to Bennet Ertell of Hemp stead, and first place among the girls to Anna Cushing of Huntington. Sec ond place went to Archibald Maxwell of Huntington, among the boys and to Miss Jennie Grant of Glen Cove for the girls. At the conclusion the following from the various schools rose in turn and sang their favorite school songs. The Freeport School Orchestra furnished the song music.
