J., this winter , which has been accepted with promise of a sporting event of national interest , the scbotexists held a special meeting at their headquarters on the Bellport shore Tuesday night to shape up plans for their expedition. A. committee meeting will , be held next week to fix the date of the race arid other details. This race will probably he the greatest event - that has ever taken place in the way( of ice yachting, and it is expected to settle the . old argu- ment as to which is the faster , the scooter or the ice boat. For the benefit of visitors from the South Sea Islands or similar far-off warm climes who may not know the distinction , it may be explained that an \ice boat\ is a heavy open frame affair , not a boat at all , properly speaking, usually of triangular form , with runners and drag rudder , pro- pelled by large sails , while a scooter is a little flat bottomed boat , compara- tively light in build and Tig, with low runners -under its sides ,, bearing a mainsail and \ job , and steered by manipulation of the latter. Any scooter can ride through a bit of open water , and one kept properly caulked will float a long trip. ' * If the weather man does his duty by this -meeting on the Shrewsbury tiiousands of people from more or less distant points will attend. With th^s in view special hotel accommodations are being: arranged. The scooter club men are hoping for a big following of friends , whom they promise plenty in the way of entertainment.

Once Fanciful Idea Is Now Being Realized New Winter Carn Breaking Out in Many Colors—Dealers Hereabouts Find Evidence of Prosperity in Lively Mnrlcnt \•/ °IVK un automobile for Christ- ^-* mus; \ ' that is thc slogan that has been adopted by the automobile deal- ers of PatchoRue for use during the next four weeks. Only a few years ago such n slogan wns unheard of nnd people would have read it with amuse- ment , knowing that an automobile for Christmas was the highest typo of fanciful day dreaming. Now all that is changed and the dealers actually intend that automobiles shall be used for the fulfillment' of Christmas gift desires. The past few years have brought about revolutionary changes in the automobile trade. No longer is the automobile a mere mechanical con- trivance manufactured for strictly transportation purposes , but rather it has become a comfortable , well ap- pointed and beautiful creation of roll- ing luxury. It is no longer a man ' s vehicle but rather it is being made Diorq and moro to satisfy the fastidi- ous desires of the feminine element us well. With these elements in view the manufacturers today are using every resource to make their products as appealing as is possible with the re- sult that the prospective purchaser at this season demands beauty and verve in the design and finish of the ear. The latest trend in the automobile industry is perfection of brigh t and varied color harmony that is being at- tained by many of the leading manu- facturers. A few years back a dull paint job in black , dark blue or dark green with black leather upholstery was apparently what the public want- ed. Now many demand just the op- posite and want the finish highly col- orful and at the same time harmoni- ous throughout. This new idea in coloring is particularly pleasing to the fashionable woman who -desires color harmony in her ensemble and to this end pi gments are being subtly blend- ed by color experts. On the other hand i;here are still many who ask for the conservative dark colors , and these will he obtainable of course. As regards models one of the latest things is the convertible coupe which is being produced by a number of makers.

In the first game the Magnates nosed out the money handlers by a scant eight pins but the chancellors of tlie exchequer canie back in the second game and won by a 42 pin margin while thoy took the third game by a flO pin mar- gin and took all the magnetism out of the magnates. In last Friday night' s match the VanGuards , so-called , defeated the Euclids three straight but this game may not stand as off icial as only three of the VanGuards were on hand for the match and two player- from other teams were drafted to make up the quintet. Hereafter all/teams ' who do not have a -complete playing roster on the alleys by 8:15 o ' clock will have to forfeit three games to the opponent. The game between the 'Engine Com- pany and Stony Brook , scheduled for tonight , has been postponed until De- cember 10 and a substitute match will be rolled between the Hook and Lad- der Company and the Veterans. At present the Engine Company, Veter- ans und VanGuards are tied for first place with three victoa-ies each, the bankers are in second place with two wins and onc loss , the Magnates in third place with one vi ctory and two defeats while the Euclidri , Stony Brook and Hook and Laddei; Company are tied for the cellar position.

The board nskeil for competitive plans , but the members were scimowliitt bewildered by the great nunil|)rs and.diversity ol! plans, so it wns decided to devote nil of next Monday al a special meeting of tho board to consider the problem carefully. Kslimitted priced lor the buildings range from $280 , 1)00 us u minimum for the cheapest;, construction that could he ndvise 'd .jup to more than £750 , 000, the aviVago being about $500 , 000, which-would- provide either a brick or-a ' marble building. Each of the architects -said that buildings horn any of the pljins could be so con- structed thnt the tiost would run even higher;, it all depbnding on the type of material to bo 1 used. Four of the plans scorned to be favored by the supervisors more strongly than did'three. These were from Tooker &. Marsh , who already have built numerous public buildings in this county, including the Patch- ogue high school , William I. LnFon of Southampton , Volney B. Liddcll of Mattituck , and William J. Beardsley. The court house-will bo placed upon land costing $120 , 000—tho site of the old Griffin House , opposite thc present •court house , the title for which pass- ed Tuesday, and now that the board has decided to build nn enlarge d struc- ture it also is believed thnt the su- pervisors will select some plan that is ornamental as well as substanti al . Tooker & Marsh presented an im- mense perspective showing a two- story and mezzanine building , with numerous stately columns in front , 130 feet long by 112 feet deep, and its minimum cost will be about $425 , 000. Charles M. Hart presented plans palling for a structure 128 by. 92 feet, costing from $260 ,000 to $27. r ) , 000. William I. LaFon proposed a build- ing of red brick , 135 feet long! by 130 feet deep, costing from $350 , 000 to $400 , 000. Walter W. Anderson suggested a building 140 by 140 feet costing $500 , - 000 or more. Tha building suggested by George W. Thompson would- be 103 feet- by 100 feet , costing $425 , 000. Mr. Liddell' s structure would be a three-story building, 130 feet by 100 , with elevators , costing from $350 , - 000 to $400 ,000 , thd latter price being the estimate on terra cotta. William J. Ueardsloy ' s proposed building, 116 by 100 feet he estimated could be evect-ed for $350 , 000. Most of the plans call for two stories with a mezzanine floor. All of them provide for elaborate court rooms and pri vate offices. Some show private stairways leading from the jury boxes to the jury rooms so ' the jurors would not come in contact with the public. Some have restaurant facilities in the basements. One had a private underground passageway leading from the jail on the opposite side of the street directly to the court rooms. Three court rooms -were pro- posed in all of the plans , one for the supreme court , one for the county court and one for the surrogate ' s court. The Tooker & Marsh plan proposed heating the building from the boilers in the jail that now heat the group of buildings on the oth er side of Grif- ling Avenue. Mr. Tooker said that, would he cheaper and better all around and would save the expense ot\ hiring two additional engineers. County Clerk Fred S. Pulver asked the supervisors to also install tho county clerk' s office in the new build- ing, thu s having all of the records di- vision of the county under one roof. No action was taken. .

This book started its service on January 9 , 1908 , when a license was taken out by Charles Witmaii , a lace weaver , and Klizabcth Fiivnernan , a nurse girl , and the third license was taken out on January 15 of that same year by Attorney Franklin William Shaw and Jennie Embler Parsons. From then until November 30 of this year 2 , 822 marriage licenses have boon issued . anil the last one was is- sued on Monday to James Edward Leitch of Babylon and Florence Helen McCarthy of 42 Cleveland Street. For all of its weight and size the old record was a comparatively sim- ple one to keep and only the most important facts are given. In tht; new book which was officially dedi- cated at 3 o ' clock Wednesday after- noon , there are but two records to a page and an index appears in thc front. The new record includes a copy of the license , the certificate of marriage , the consent and the affi- davit. The first license to be filed in the now book is that of James A. Kalpdcmas of 118 Jones Street , Port Jefferson , and Marie Christine Bul- lony of Port Jefferson .

In a field where only two or three years ago a 20-page paper as a weekly was con - sidered a little giant , even in the pre- holidays rush , and where most of the weeklies even yet seldom exceed 12 pages , this is a fair achievement. The week before last the. Advance pro- duced 30 pages , last week , with a holi- day out , 28 pages. There are no such thiners ns \Christmas numbers \ of the Advance , or other over-fat issues into .sections of wh ieh masses of advertising are crowded solid or -with only canned matter for relief. Each issue of the paper is a real and complete news- paper , and . each section a news sec- tion. The many columns of advertisin-g will invite special attention at this season , as they contain exceedingly interesting information and hints on shopping. People rend the ads in the Advance because they find them help- ful. And merchants use advertising because it helps business. Thev have found thrrugh loni; experience how to grow with the old Advance. STOP AT HOCK'S PAVILION and dance awhile. . Vutomatk piano. Hot dogs and refreshments.

The first prize , for the most popular child up to seven years of age in the Patchogue school district , will be $75 in gold. The second prize for Patch- ogue will be $50 arid the third prize $25.
