NOW FOR KNIGHTS BALL
$1,000 Tickets Out for big
Event "Wednesday Night.

To the thousands Of members OIL TIC
order of the knights of COLUMBUS III
Brooklyn and on Long Island ana W
their families and friends the amman
Charity Ball which will be held OH
Wednesday evening at the 2Sd Regime"'
Arlnory will be one Of the most imPoi
tant and interesting social events Oh t"'
year. Every year since 1902 the Chari'S
Ball has grown steadily in Importance
until ii is now one of Brooklyn's best es-
tablished social affairs.
Though Instituted to help support the
hospital bed fund of the order, the mar
ity Ball now divides thousands OF doiidi
annually between several causes in Wnich
the Knights of Columbus are Interested
Some of the money goes TO defray the
cost Of the annual field mass at The navy
yard and some to the annual memorial
service Of the order The sum OF 800 was
set aside last year for the establishment
of an employment agency, and 1t Is eX-
pected that like sum will be given TINS
yea.
The greater part of the proceeds, how
ever goes into the hospital bed FUND. whlcn
helps to defray the hospital bills OF mem
bers overtaken by illness or accident. The
disposition Of the money is in the hands
of Long Island Chapter. in which are rep
resented all the councils of the order in
Kings Queens, Nassau and Suffolk
counties.
Fifteen thousand tickets have been on
sale Many councils have reported that
not one of the tickets allotted to them will
be unsod.
Elaborate plans for decorations have
been prepared. and bunting and banners
will completely transform the interior OF
the armory on the night Of the ball. Boxes
will be partitioned off alons the sides Of
the big dance floor and in the gallery to
serve as headquarters for the councils and
other organizations Practically every
council in Long Island Chapter has taken
at least one box. Receipts from this
source alone have exceeded $1,000, which
is one of the many details in which rec
ords have been broken this year.
Many OF the Queens and Nassau coun-
ellis have arranged TO send parties to the
ball in automobile buses and 10 get them
home in the early morning in the same

For some OF the Suffolk County councils

An illustrated souvenir programme

The First Dutch Reformed Cnurch, oi

of chimes of any church of the denomina-
ton in this country. one OF the new bells
will weigh a ton and d half. There Will
he ten bells in the series They will be
rung by newly invented device that will
enable one person to manipulate them
with ease and expression. Some wonder
has been expressed that the old church
tower could support the weight of the
new bells. along with the old bell, which
is to be retained. The old bell has been
i'm place since the church was completed
in 1875.
1t was cast in Holland. and fell into
the hands of the British on its way across
the ocean John Vanderbilt was the
giver. Years ago it used to ring in the
morning to call the children to their
studies at the old Erasmus Hall Acad-
envy. now Erasmus Hall High School.
The first building OF the church organiza-
ton was erected on the site. at Flatbush
and Church avenues. in 1665, by the Dutch
colonists The second church was put up
i'm 1929 The bell of the church sounded
the first warning of the approach Of the
British at the battle OF Long Island. and
the church was used as a hospital for
the wounded American troops. The Rev.
John T. LLOYD Is the pastor Of the church.
Some of Brooklyn's best known men are
members.

The new members of the board were
chosen at the suggestion of l.. Holdings

the asylum back on solid financial
basis if he were allowed a free hand. lie
wanted TO select his own board, and the
organization agreed to permit him to 90

paid from the funds raised in the COM
ing campaign for the $4,000. Many of the
creditors have agreed to wait until the

troubles Of the institution have come
through the removal from Brooklyn to
Kings Park of majority Of the inmates.
The cottage system was adopted at the
Park. and this required the expenditure
of large amount Of money. The re-
suit was that a deficit existed at the
close Of the first year there. The Kings

with u horses. 70 sheep. go chickens,
ducks and geese and about $50 pigs.
