Eact Hampton W ill Again Have Safe and Sane Fourth, with Community

Fireworks

East Hampton will again have Fourth o f July community fireworks at the bathing beach, the proceeds going to the local American Legion Post, and the committee planning the dis­play promises that it w ill exceed any­thing ever seen here.

The Citizens' Committee in charge o f the fireworks includes Joseph H. Ssaman, Augustus Thomas. Irv in S. Cobb, K iliaen Van Rensselaer, I. Y. Halsey. Ralph C. Frood, Frederick Cody. Felix Dominy, Phelan Beale. Frederick Merry, Earl W. Sinclair, and Lion Gardiner.

Fireworks at the beach have been an institution here for a number of years. They are greatly enjoyed; people regularly come from as far west as Patchogue to see them. There is no doubt that they have lessened fire and accident risk in East Hampton, and thus, besides providing a beautiful spectacle, have proved a great factor in giving the village a safe and sane Fourth.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry G. Stephens re­turned last night from Pittsfield, Mass.. where they have been fo r the past week. Their daughter, Miss Grace Stephens, and Miss Dorothy Griffin o f Rlverhead, who were the guests o f Ed­win Stephens at the house party given by his fratern ity at W illiams College, returned w ith Mr. and Mrs. Stephens.

Lewis-Johnson W edding Last Saturday at St. Thomas

A very beautiful wedding took pl&ce at 4 o ’clock last Saturday afternoon in the Episcopal Church at Amagan- sett, when Miss Catherine Johnson, daughter o f Harry Johnson, who has made his summer home there for many years, became the bride o f Charlton Lewis, son o f Mrs. Catherine Lewis o f New Haven, Conn. About 120 guests witnessed ithe ceremony, which was performed by the Rev. Albert Wilson of Passaic. N. J., and was followed by a small reception for the fam ily and a few intimate friends, at tl^e home of Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Lee Johnson here.

The wedding had been preceded, on Friday evening, by a dinner and dance for the bridal party, at the Maidstone Inn, East Hampton. There were about forty guests that evening.

The wedding party included Mrs. W illiam E. Blewett o f Norfolk, Va., matron o f honor; the other attendants o f the bride were Mrs. Reginald Lee Johnson o f New York; Mrs. Paul Smith o f Provincetown, Mass. Philip

Gray of Detroit, Mich, was best man fo r Mr. Lewis; the ushers were Keith Smith o f Lynwood, Utah; Aus­ten Phelps of Kenilworth, 111.; Reginald Lee Johnson of New York, and Robert W. Huntington jr., o f Hartford, Conn.

The bride wore her grandmother’s wedding dress, o f ivory satin, w ith a long circular train; her tulle veil was caught w ith orange blossoms, she car­ried white orchids and lilies o f the valley. The bridesmaids wore gowns of honeydew tafTeta, with horsehair gar­den hats, turned up at the front, in the same shade; their flowers were delphinium, roses, and A frican daisies. The matron o f honor wore mist-green taffeta, w ith a large hat to match; her flowers were delphinium and yel­low iris.

The former Miss Johnson is a grad­uate o f Smith College, class of 1928; Mr. Lewis is a graduate o f Yale, class o f 1928. The newly married couple will make their hoqje fo r a time in Pasa­dena. California.

Chairmen and committees for the various booths at the Ladies' Villag? Improvement Fair, to be held at "Pud­ding H ill," the Bennett Bishop estate at Main street and Woods lane, on July 26, are being appointed, and new features worked out. Final details are expected to be arranged before the- next meeting of the society, which takes place at “Windward,” the hom? of Mrs. Harry L. Hamlin on L ily Pond lane, July 1. Mrs. George Ethridge, president c f the L. V. I. S. and general chairman fo r the Fair, says that al­though a number of people who are a l­ways enthusiastic Fair workers are not yet at their summer homes here, most o f the committees are settled, and all indications point toward an even more successful Fair than last year’s.

Miss Augusta Wiloughby Gage Ellis, who is occupying the Dr. Munroe place again this season, has very kindly o f­fered the use of her garden for the Fashion Show, to be put on by B. Alt- m in & Co.. with young women o f the

j summer colony as mannequins. There ' is a little gate opening into the Fair grounds from the Munroe place; there is a little lawn shaded by tall trees, it is an ideal spot. Mrs. J. L. Hutton is chairman of the Fashion Show.

The Tea Room is to be on the Pud­ding H ill lawn, placed so that it will make a pretty scene as people arrive,

j Mrs. Ellery James will again be chair­man for the tea.

Mrs. B. M. Osborne and Mrs. Victor Harris, with their very efficient com­mittee. who made the G ift Booth score

| highest fcr receipts at last year's Fair, j and also that of the year before, are , again making plans for a great array I o f pretty things.| The general plan for this year's Fair, in the new location, jv ill toe based on the Revolutionary. incident that gave the former Herrick place its name. Briefly, the story goes that an East Hampton matron— an Osborne— living there defied the enemy during the Revolution. British soldiers, appearing at her door just a t dinner time, de­manded that she feed them; she took the fam ily dinner— which happened to be a bciled pudding— from the pot and threw it down the h ill in their faces. Young girls a t various booths will be dressed in the mob-caps and fichus of the Revolutionary period, and E. T. Dayton, who has consented to take charge o f the gate, with the regular committee, is to come in the costume of a Continental soldier. Mrs. N. H. Dayton is to have a booth where little puddings will be sold.

Mrs. W illiam C. Dickerman, a new member o f the chairmen's list, is to take the Sport Booth this year. Mrs. Paul A. Salembie* will have the Oriental Booth. Mrs. Dudley Roberts will have the Household Booth, which Mrs. Charles Edwards has given up after many successful years. Mrs. John Blackmore is to have the Delicatessen Booth; Mi's. Harry L. Hamlin will again take charge o f the Farm Booth, always a “ best seller." Mrs. George H. Hand will attend to the Cake Booth as usual. Mrs. Lion Gardiner is to have the Punch and Judy Show. Mrs. Frederick Cody will again look after the pretty Perfume Booth. Mrs. E. de C lifford Chisholm and .Mrs. J. V. Bcuvier will manage the sale o f bal­loons and lollipops. Mrs. A lfred Bell will have the Sand Pile; Mrs. Charles Clark, the Clothes Rack; Mrs. Eltinge W arner and Mrs. Clarence Alcott, the doll and toy shop; Mrs. J. Edward G ay jr., the candy booth; Miss Florence Rice, in costume, will sell doughnuts from a cart.

Mrs. Nathaniel A. Campbell and Mrs. Theodorus Bailey will have the rubber novelties. Mrs. John R. Keim and Mrs. Francis Dana Hyde w ill have

Midhamptcns Corporation Has Con- ildcrablc Lake and Occan Front­

age

T h e outboard motorboat r a c e s scheduled to be held on Georgica Pond a week from Sunday, have been called off by Frank H. Knighton, sponsor of the Midhamptons development, who stated yesterday that he was unwilling to sbags any races on the pond which would be objectionable to the residents of the Georgica section. Th e members of the Outboard Motorboat Association of Eastern Long Island, had planned to hold races on Georgica Pond on June 30, and also during August; a clubhcuse for the association was to have teen built at Midhamptons and fronting jon Georgica pond by Mr. Knighton’s company.

Residents c f the Georgica section prepared a petition of protest when they learned that outboards would race on this small bedy of water, and Mrs. Francis Newtcn and Mrs. Ellery James appeared before the town board on June 5 to pretest against the plan, and to precer.t their petition signed by 37 East Hampton residents. *

The races scheduled for Georgica Pond will be held at North Sea Bath­ing Beach, Peconic Bay, cn June 3D.

In discussing the situation yesterday Mr. Knighton' expressed regret that the residents of the Ceorgica section had not protested to him, instead of preparing a petition. "Only one o f the signers o f the petition. Fred Seymour," said Mr. Knighton, "came to me to explain the objection which he had to the proposal o f racing outboards on Georgica Pond. I . would have been very pleased to have talked this matter over with either a committee or the entire grcup had they seen fit to go to that trouble."

The Midhamptons corporation has considerable frontage cn the pond and next year, a fter a bond issue of a m il­lion and a quarter has been arranged, Mr. Knighton states that the improve­ment program for Midhamptons will be carried on further. In the past year the corporation has purchased over two hundred acres additional, includ­ing ninety acres o f ocean frontage. Over a million dollars has already been put into Midhamptons, Mr. Knighton says, and another million will be put in, to make it a summer colony entire­ly in keeping with the tone of the Hamptons.

The novel plan of consulting with Georgica residents regarding proposed improvements was mentioned yester­day by Mr. Knighton, who said that he would be very pleased to talk over with the summer colonists of Georgica his plan for developing Midhampton’s frontage cn Georgica Pond, with z view toward eliminating anything which m ight be objectionable to East Hampton's colonists. Mr. Knighton abated that his company was very an­xious to use the shore front of Georgica Pond for the residents ol Midhamptons but he emphasized the fact that he did not want to develop in any way which would antagonize East Hamptcn’s colony nor to do any thing which would cheapen the tone of the Georgica section.

Mr. Knighton explained that his Great Neck development. Russell Gardens, had been successful and pop­ular, due to the fact that nothing had been done to cheapen the surround­ing property and that the improve­ments had been carried out on a high plane.

W illiam and James Grainger, sons o f Rev. and Mrs. W illiam Grainger, are leaving soon on a cruise to Ice ­land with their uncle. A fter this cruise to the northland they will leave the ship in England, where they w ill travel before returning to East Hampton.

Among Artists

he Eat:; Hampton Choral Society prc:entfd its second annual concert

Friday evening, at Edwards' Theatre, before an appreciative audi­ence, which included several people who can particularly evaluate such work; Victcr Harris, conductor of the St. Cecelia Club in New York, and East Hampton summer resident; Edwin Swain, choral conductor and vocal teacher, under whom Miss Ledgerwood, visiting artist cn the program, studied; his accompanist, Ralph Douglas, who is organist a t the Southampton Dune church, and our own High,School di-

or c f music, Mrs. H. Lewis Ed­wards. A ll compliment the East Hamp­ton society on its work.

Members of the chorus fe lt that the olume c f their singing was rather

less than last'year, because o f some necessary changes that have been made in the theatre. When the “ talk­ies" were installed, the large brocade curtains at either side of the theatre had to be put in, to make the voices leas harsh. So the theatre's acoustics, which last year were perfect for chorus work, were changed this year; it seem­ed that an individual voice was clearer but a volume o f sound was rather m uf­fled. Also, the overhead tower, above the stage, has been made taller since last year, so that much sound went up. For that reason, the chorus was placed very compactly, and very fa r forward; so far, that it was necessary for four ladies at one end o f the front row to move whenever the ‘cellist cam? out to play.

The society is to be congratulated on its efforts; such a concert must repre­sent an endless amount of hard work.

Officers and members o f the Choral, in their turn, have expressed deepest appreciation for all the interest and help that has been shown them. Members o f East Hampton's summer colony have been most kind. Several members o f the Bridgehampton Choral Society, including its president, Mrs. Harry Fahy, were present and sang with the chorus. Many people from Southampton and other neighboring villages were in the audience. The con­cert committee wishes especially to thank Frank Daytori, whose name was omitted frcm the program through an errcr in printing, and who ha6 been of the greatest help in preparations fcr the affair.

Posters fcr the concert were done by Leonard Letter of the East Hampton G ift Shcp, and by school children, students c f Miss Fritts.

The playing c f Julian Kahn. New Ycrk violoncellist, was greatly enjoy­ed; the young artist received quite an ovation. Miss Mray Ledgerwood, con­tralto. whose singing is already known to many East Hampton folk, has a fine rich voice; and her enunciation is par­ticularly clear; every word reached her audience.

The program follows:Part I

Captain Bass again pitched a master­ly game, striking out seventean and holding the Southold sluggers at bay while his team mates hammered Kane and Slipuleski fcr six runs in the firs, three innings. A heavy cannonading from the East Hampton bats in the second forced Kane, the Southold ace, to retreat. Slipuleski, who was rushed into the breach, put up a stubborn resistance but was unable to lead any sustained advance.

Every one in the East Hampton line­up got at least one safe drive. Fan­ning played a fine game for Southold. Sheades made a great catch in le ft field in the ninth that otherwise might have done considerable damage.
