THE DAY ON LONG ISLAND.

! The anniversary Of the independence OF America
was generally observed throughout Long Island
but not with as much ceremony as heretofore. The
church bells every village were toed at dsybreak
and sunset. In few Of the villages public
anniversaries were held, Interspersed with music
ana orarions. The principal features OF the day
were church fairs and pleasure parties The number
OF fairs were beyond reckoning there being three
and four in some villages. All were conducted by
church congregations for the benefit OF their own
respective churches. 1t would seem that the
Island is undergoing complete reconstruc-
sion In the line OF new churches, each
village yieng with the otner In the effort to boast
the most handsome ana elaborate edince. There
was parade, oratons and banquet in ia
mslca, the orators being. the village clergy.

come to none but themselves.
The watering places were crowded with New
YORK and Brooklyn people. The bays were covered
with sailing craft, each boat carrying from six to
Zen persons. Every hotel furnished music,
and Terpsichorean devotees had every opportunity
tol enjoy their faverite pastime. Fire Island,
PatchORue ana ROckaway were the principal places
patronlzed on the outh side, while Greenport and
Eag Harbor claimed the attention OF east end
guests. and Glen Cove the north side sojourners.
