Handicapped by the high hills mid poor wind ut Red Bunk the scooter- ists were anxious to meet the ice/ bout sailors nn their own ice where , open conditions prevailed and the North Shrewsbury club was quick to accept the invitation to come here , at which time tlie local club members hope to win buck the pennnn.lt they lost in thc final race. Two- liu s loads of members from Red Bank will come \here a week from Sunday to look over the ice and get an idea of the situation so that they will b* prepared to give the scooter skippers a renl race the following wcek when ¦ they \will bring their crack ice boats to Bellport to take part in the greatest racing event in south Tiny 4 history. Adverse weather conditions Friday postponed the final pennant race be- tween the North Shrewsbury Ice Boat and Yacht Club and the South Bay Scooter Club until Saturday when Inck of wind greatly hindered the fi- nal ra.ee , which was Avon by the North Shrewsbury club. Gilbert M. Clark' s scooter , \Margie Li 2nd\ won the third jlace in the deciding race for the ice boat-scooter championship of Am- erica . The- final race was held Saturday morning, when the t_hree picked boats of each club lined up to take the- ten- mile course for the pennant , with a ljghrsouthwest -winii-tligj jtt^tlrnjSlS' ' stl £ most died down entirely.! \ . Mie ice boat entries were Benjamin L. Atwat- er ' s \Pet\ , W. W. \Vaughn ' s \Go To It \ and Munroe . Eisner ' s \Comet\ . The scooters entered were Gilbert Clark' s \Margie L. 2nd\ , William Har- liss , \ \Scott\ and Jack Bason ' s \Heal Stuff\ . At the outset it looked as though the scooters might bring the national championship back to the Great South Bay as (hey set a lively pace for the ice boats. After the first two laps , however , the scooters came under a high hill that practically cut off the wind and here the ice , boats with their higher tuul wider rigging took tho \ lead and held it to the finish with tlio \Pet\ coming in first in 38 minutes and the \Go To It\ finishing second as the \Comet\ dropped out.

Somehow or other this village has a peculiar way of getting into print , by such news hits as prophets of doom , December and May marriages , or , more recently, a request from far off Japan for a recipe for- good old clam chowder. This time the publicity will he along an entirely different line and wij- prove to the world at large the char- acter and enterprise of two Patch- ogue men. Two weeks ago The Advance .car- ried an article in which was recordeil the fact that Herbert F. Austin , local agent for the New York Life Insur- ance Company, had just sold Mas Kollner over a quarter , of a million dollars worth of life insurance. Irs the course of the \ .article the progress of both Mr. Austin and Mr. Kollner in their respective lines was noted in detail. But when The Advance rc- norter wrote the article he had little idea that ' he was writing a piece oE virtual advertising copy that would go all over thn world. Tho Advance was s <- -nt to the main office of tlie New York Life Insur- ance Company and it apparently im- pressed the powers that be for thifi wcek a full pafce of their bulletin is be- ins devoted to the fact that Mr. Aus- tin had made this record sale of life insurance and in the article is a fac- simile of the article that appeared iis The Advance alone , with the name of the paper. This bulletin will go out to the Orient, to Cuba and Porto Rico as well as ' South America ; in fact I. will uo fo everv part of the civilized world where life insurance of thiss comnany is sold.

Sportsmen Have Game Dinner Bellport Hotel Rendezvous Of Hunters Over 200 From All Over Island At- tend Big Dinner of Brookhaven • Game Protective Association—Ex- cellent Program. TN no way deterred by the heavy fog * that hung over all of this section of Long Island Saturday night , more than 200 sportsmen , representing as- sociations from all parts of the Island , gathered at the Bellport Hotel to at- tend the smoker , enterta inment and supper of the Brookhaven Game Pro- tective Association which proved to be the most enjoyable event ever spon- sored by the local sportsmen ' s organi- zation. The evening ' s program opened at 8:30 when cigars were passed around and about an hoQr was spent in mak- ing acquaintances and introductions among the large number of ou|side guests. Then a program of enter- tainment was furnished by Charles Eberhardt' s orchestra from Forest Hills and a group of professional en- tertainers from New York. When all of the lovers of the wild had worked up a very keen appetite , a sumptuous game supper was served in true sportsmen ' s fashion with Rob- ert Macintosh , president ' of the Brookbaven Association , acting as toastmaster. Mr. Macintosh in a few brief remarks called attention to the great good that sportsmen ' s organiza- tions were doing for the propagation and conservation of game on Long Is- land. He further spoke of the notable decrease in accidents caused by fire- arms while licenses to hunters are in- creasing rapidly. ' He concluded by saying that such organizations were justified only when they aided in tho conservation and protectioh ' of game through proper observance of the gome laws and tliat this was just what the Brookhaven club aimed at. Mr. Macintosh then introduced R. S. Leighton , president of the North Shore Game Protective Association , who related that he hasr taken a vaca- tion of one month each year 1 since 1874 in tho gunning season. lib con- trasted tho hunter of yesterday with \ that of today, by pointing out that the old-time hunter took pride in bragging of the number of his killings. Today, he snid , tlie hunter realizes that he must .exercise care and d is- crction with his gun so that there will be another day ' s hit nting, and that this is being accomplished ' throue . li the aims of snortsmen ' s organizations. /GILBERT CLAIRE , vice-president ^\¦^ of the Lone 1 , Island Association of Snortsmen ' s Clubs, and secretary of the North Shore Game Protective (Continued on Page-2 , this Section) Well Now Who Is Kutest Tot?

It is a bit liko those elections over in England , where they let the officials stay in until somebody kick s up tho legal amount of disturbance and then there has to be another test at the polls. ' Now during the late weeks of 192(5 preceding Christmas the disturbing question came up as to whose darling was the best beloved outside his or her family as well as inside , and a group of Patchogue merchants undertook to settle it by the Kutest Kiddie Kon- test open to all boys and girls up to seven years of age in Brookhaven town. They pooled a neat he ap-of gold coins as an inducement for the kid- dies and their parents to shake off any excessive modesty which might restrain them from making the try, the gun was fired , figuratively speak- ing, and tl rare race was begun. It wound up just before the Yuletide with young Samuel Collins , Jr., as high man , securing himself $75 in gold coin of Uncle Sam , and several other popular tots of both sexes were also winners. But • thc question just wouldn 't down , nevertheless , and this week! an- other contest is starting. And enter- prising mammas and papas , having learned the value of an early start, are getting right out now and pledg- ing thei r friends to support little Jack or Jill.

There was no turnout of citizens at all. Supervisor Howell of Riverhead, who had been asked by the Riverhead Town Agricultural Society to use his influence to keep thc expenditure down to $1!>0 , 000 , merely read the resolution of the society, and criticised Shiebler and his figures. Supervisor Davi s of Easthampton town asked Shiebler why he did not make his criticism sooner , to which the latter replied that everything had been done by the board in secret ses- sion. Supervisor Macintosh engaged in some altercation with Shiebler claim- ing the latter had given out mislead- ing figures , but not denying Shiebler ' s main points , that to the cost of the building must be added 5120 , 000 for site and a large sum for equipment and that the plans call for ten times the court room space now provided.

He was a veteran of the Civil War , having served in many of the most arduous of the campaigns with Com- pany IT of the 127th Volunteers , made up entirely of young men/in the vicin- ity of Southold. At the conclusion of hostilities he returned to the old homestead at Cutchogue where he again took up farming nntil 1880 when he went to Middletown , N. Y. itnd conducted a dairy business there until 1896. At that time he moved to Patchogue and purchased his late resi- dence on Railroad Avenue. He was one of the few remaining members of the once large G. A. R. organization here , the Richard J. Clark Post and while ho had not been engaged in any business enterprise in recent years he had been a familiar figure about the village.
