As yet no official report has been made as to proceeds of the fair but it is thought that the net re ceipts will reach the $1000 mark. A portion of this money will go toward the benefit of the Nassau Hospital at Mineola, some to the Firemen’s Home on the Hudson and the remainder to various fire interests in our own vil lage. [The Ladies’ Committee deserves special mention in the manner in which they took care of tho fancy articles in the large tent and also served the meals and ice cream each evening. The draining for the $400 Greve piano will take place this Saturday evening. The piano drawing did not take place hast Saturday owing to the fact that there were not sufficient time to gather the unsold tickets. ’ The first of a series of three ■ games of base-ball between the teams of the Freeport Club and the Rockville Centre boys took place at Freeport Athletic in the local Church Sunday evening.

Owing to the absence of the pastor during \the next month there will be no church services in the Methodist Church, although the Sunday School will hold their sessions as usual.

Rose, pastor of the Mount Hope, (New Jer sey) Methodist Episcopal Church, who have been spending the past two weeks as the guest; of Rev. and Mrs. Taft will also leave on Monday.

Bellmore went at it with Lindenhurts at Linden hurst and to the tune of one to two in a ten inning game came home victors. The score by innings: Lindenhurst Bellmore Batteries—Ost and Brown, Pettit and Smith. Next Sunday at Freeport. Tuesday morning at about 8.20 one of the through flyers on the railroad swung through Bellmore and at the Bellmore Ave. crossing struck a stone wagon, smashing it. The colored driver jumped pnd sustained injuries which will necessitate his being home for a few days. The horses were uninjured. The train stooped, got necessary ptif ticulars and went on its way. That’s all of that, but how long is this cross ing to be unprotected, how soon will another and more serious acciddnt oc cur right here in the heart of a village 25jmiles from New York City? Itfnay come too soon to be pleasant, and what’s to prevent it? Is there not enough progressive spirit\in Bellmore to force the protection of this crossing or are the residents content to let well enough alone and take chances. Last year a team of horses were killed out right here and last Friday an automo bile barely escaped, both times a through express train being the cause or near-cause. This is not meant ta keep right in line with the regular knocking of a railroad corporation— they have their troubles too, but it is to explain that the needs of a com munity are not to be subordinate when these needs are necessities and con stitute rights which should be granted. J. T. Burke had for the week-end his sister Mrs. W. H. * Jefferds and Mr. Jefferds as guests. Both returned to their home in Hoboken, N. J., this week.

An oasis in the darkness that hangs over Bellmore excepting when the moon shines is caused by the well- lighted stores of William E. Bowne, Nidfc Meyer and Smith Bros. These places are arranged in a sort of a tri angle and when past them one goes kerplunk into the thickest darkness ever seen outisde of a jungle. Going north from the business corners named there are only two street lamps lighted at night, and Grartd Ave. is no excep tion, nor Bedford Ave. either. There are several corfters, numerous trees and an uneven pathway, all of which the pedestrian or driver must be famil iar with before he attempts to navi gate in the dark.
