LONG BEACH LOOMS UP __ AS A CONVENTION CITY (By John R, .F. Hayhundt) Executive Chairman of the City. of Long Beach Convention and Pub- licity Bureau With the completion of arrange- ments for five conventions to be held at Long Beach during the coming sea- son, the City of Lon ach takes its place in the limelight Ma Convention City. Four of these conventions are sche- duled for the early summer, lange est being that of the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association, which will convene June 12th to- 14th. It is expected that this convention will bring forty thousand people to Long Beach from all parts of the southern portion of New York State: The Rexall Druggists, the Associ- ated Real Estate Boards of New York State, the New York Suburban Field Club and the Knights of Columbus have also been booked and arrange- ments are now pending with several other organizations to hold their an- nual meetings at Long Beach. When Long Beach was first devel- oped some years ago by Senator Win. H. Reynolds, its present Mayor, he planned to make it a beautiful sea- whore resort particularly adaptable for convention purposes and second to none in the country. Step by step this city has developed under his di- rection, overcoming seemingly insur- mountable difficulties, until to-day it is complete fulfilimei f the plans and the wonderful (gang of Senator Reynolds. He has ac plished more in one lifetime than is usually ac- complished in a century, Long Beach is an everlasting monument to the vi- sion, enterprise, courage and ability of Senator Reynolds, now our esteem- ed mayor, who found, a salt marsh and made of it a wonderful City. And what more suitable place for conventions than this wonderful sea- shore resort, extending, as it does, out into the Atlantic Ocean in a man- man opposite from that found at the other beaches along the coast, thus climatic advantages over the hot, congested cities, in which many summer conventions are held, Long Beach has all the essential elements ne ary for the success of a conven- tion, Its proximity to New York City, being but twenty-four miles out, es- pecially commends it for gatherings of all kinds, It is the genergl rule to chose a place that will attract the majority of the members and also be of interest to their wives and friends. Aside from its own attractions Long Bench appeals to the women folk in being easily mecessible either via. the service or by motoring direct over Long Island roads. 'This affords an opportunity of visiting the most won- derful shops, the best theatres and many other advantages of the met- ropolis too numerous to mention. Long Beach is virtually in a class by itself, being the nearest unob- structed beach to the greater city and compares very favorably with Atlan- tie City in point of beauty as well as appointments. It is spacious enough to amply accommodate exhibitions, parades, and open air entertainments of all kinds. The equipment and ma- terial for these may be shipped direct to the very door, Besides its broad boulevards and many other features, it boasts of an unexcelled boardwalk, four miles long, breasting a most won- derful beach. This boardwalk has frequently been the scene of many gay fashion parades, both planned and impromptu, Outdoor sports, affording . recrea- tion to many, are at their best here- the finest surf bathing, deep sea and bay fishing, riding clubs, yachting, tennis, golf on the famous Lido Links, etc., leave little to be desired in this respect. Last year the railroads throughout the country included Long Beach in their excursion itineraries and special excursion rates will apply to conven- tlon. Long Beach has an almost universal nppeal. Bexides being admirably lo- eated, fur enough from the congested cities to enjoy the cool sea breezes, conventions making Long Beach their meeting place have every assurance of a cordial reception and that every- thing will be done for their comfort and amusement,. Committees on. the selection of sites for conventions will made no mistake on deciding on Long Beach as the place. ROOF TILER FALLS FROM COURT HOUSE, BREAKS LEG Mayor Reynolds is determined that the handling of conventions which come to Long Beach shall be done, in his characteristic style. Nothing but the best and all of the best there is. He has sent out word that nothing shall be left un nd has caused a permanent Conventiip and Publicity Bureau to be formed.

Captain {Langdon called time out, and when play was resumed Lymbrook staged a fine rally with Poppe, Behnke . and Weis scoring several baskets on some of the cleverest passing yet seen on the local court. 'The result of this rally put Lynbrook in the lead at half | time by the score of 26-18.
