This was decided at the meeting of the association held a t the office of Secretary A. Wilfred Tuthill. It was decided to engage the large ballroom of Hotel Actor, the same as was occu pied last year, when 1,000 Long Isl anders sat down to the feast, which was in every way a most successful affair.

The second game will be played this Sunday, weather permitting. Last Sunday af ternoon was fine for a ball game, but as the weather was threatening in the morning the game for the day was called off.

Manager Wulff is com ing over with the best he has and no doubt he will need them. Samuel Self has improved nicely af ter being confined to his home for five months, and is now able to take an oc casional trip about the village when the weather is good.

Central is Not After L L Local Traffic WiUiam K. Vanderbilt, Jr., denies that the Long Island Motor Parkway is to be taken over by the New Yerk Cen tral Railroad Company as a suburban electric line in competition with the Long Island Railroad. Some one dis covered that the parkway charter con tained a forgotten clause, permitting the laying of steel rails on the speedway bed for other than steam railway uses. When the story was repented to Mr. Vanderbilt at the Central offices he replied emphatically: \There’s no truth whatever in it ” It has be- n believed for years that the New York Oeutral Railroad Com pany intends eventually to use the Park way route for a through line from the port of Montank to connect at New York with its other lines, and the belief is prevalent that the Central company has been planning to make use of the Stein way tunnel to connect the Parkway terminal with the Grand Central Sta tion.—Times.
