Surf fishing at this point is rarely attempted, although throwing out lines from the breakwater for blackftsh and porgies has been a common practice for years. Dur ing the fine moonlight nights of last week, dozens of anglers lined the sound shores, and several re ported fairly good catches of weakfish of small size. Capt. Stanley Naugles has been having good success taking parties out in the Sound, fishing for bass. Capt. Naugles sails out of Mat- tituck Inlet and makes his catches a few miles out. The bass have been large and plentiful. One of July 4th’s annual events here was the big picnic given by Mr. and Mrs. P. Harvey Duryee and Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Duryee at the Duryee bungalow at the Sound. It was enjoyed by about two dozen guests. Among out-of- town guests attending were Mrs. Jenny Huxtabel and Miss Mary Cummings of Belleville, N.

All roads led to Peconic Bay Boulevard about 9:30 Monday night, w'hen the fire siren called out the local firemen to extinguish a small blaze of cut meadow grass burning in ,the road just east of Brush’s Creek. There was a grand turnout of fire apparatus, firemen, local citizens and most of the summer colony. The fast ride and the traffic might have provided a thrill, but the fire didn’t, as a stream from the chemical truck quickly extinguished it. It was said that the alarm was turned in by a passer-by who overesti mated its seriousness. Mattituck is always glad to have the Husing family of Brooklyn in their midst. These well liked peo ple are again at their summer home here for the month of July and possibly for the entire season. The million dollar rain of last Friday was greeted almost with cheers by almost everybody, es pecially the farmers, who had been expressing much concern about the effects of the long drought on the potato crop.

The Boutchers were descendants of the Earl of Bath, who was the first known John Boutcher. He came to England from Normandy with William the Conqueror, who made him an earl, granting him a large parcel of land where the city of Bath is now located. Mrs. Tuthill’s parents first set tled in Lancaster, Pa., where her father built a log cabin for their home. From Lancaster they moved to Canterbury, Conn., and later to Long Island, where she met anc married the late Sidney P.

She was one of the original' mem bers of the Ladies’ Missionary So ciety and of the Sewing Society when these two church organiza tions came into being. She was also a member of the Presbyterian Sunday School, being present nearly every Sunday for a long period of years. Until the past two or three years her health had been re markable, with only two days of real sickness during her long and useful life.
