SOUTHAMPTON, IL. j., Aug. ,.
- HE storm which swept over this
place last Sunday was called a
Junior cyclone by some who ex-
perienced its fury, and there are those
in the community, formerly living in
the West where such weather condi-
tions are frequent, who compared it
with storms they have seen in that
part of the United States. 1t broke
when the gathering at the bathing
beach was greatest, after service in
st. Andrews Dune Church. The heavy
fog that came in about noontime did
not disperse the crowd, but there were
some of them wise in the ways of the
sea who left for their homes as soon
as they saw flocks of frightened
seagulls come ashore shrieking and
squawking.
Suddenly there was a tremendous
gust of wind, continually increasing,
that sent the crowd of onlookers close
by the shore helter skelter to the
bathing pavilion several hundred yards
away, and most of them reached this
shelter before the rain fell in torrents
1t was mass of color that ran from
the beach, the women in their bright
est garments. and added to the con-
fused mass OF people were the fancy
coIored umbrellas that had been placed
on the strand. some of these being
blown out to sea.
Those who were in the surf ran to
their bath houses. only to find them in
total darkness. There were fully 200
men. women and children in the pavilion
-
more before they were able to get into
their motors. which were parked out
side. On their way to belated lunch
cons the havoc created by the storm
was shown by streets Uttered with
broken boughs. branches and upturned
trees. some of which fell across the
roadway. Numerous chimneys were
overturned and windows blown in by the
force of the wind, with result of
flooded houses 1t seemed a miracle
that there had been no loss of life or
serious accidents. In the darkness of
the storm electric lights went out, tele-
phonic communication also was cut off
and for nearly four days there were no
telegraph wires to New York.
Preparing for street Fair.
The entire community is engrossed
in preparations for the village street
fair, which Is to be held next Friday
afternoon and night in Agawam Park,
just on the border of the lake, where
there will be diversions sufficient to at
tract old and young not only Of
Southampton but of the entire county
OF Suffolk. whose towns and villages all
depend upon the hospital in cases Of
dire necessity. They are working with
good will and the financial results
should meet TO great extent the needs
of the hospital for the coming winter
Mrs. Peter b. Wyckoff, Mrs Arthur b.
Clafin. Mrs. Edward p. Mellon and Mrs
Phillips b. Thompson are at the head
of the numerous committees that have
been selected Mrs. A. Stewart Walker
Mrs. John II. Moricc and Mrs Joseph

layout of the booths and other features
making sketches to be followed by ar
