BUSINESS MEN’S BANQUET 
Manchester, Beverly Farms 
and Beverly Merchants gather around 
Festive Board. 
The second annual banquet of the 
Business Men’s association, composed 
of Beverly and Manchester business men, 
was held Monday evening at Beverly 
City hall, and a most enjoyable occasion 
it proved. An excellent repast was 
served by the Dirigo Catering Co. of 
Beverly, after which speech-making was 
in order. 
The speakers of the evening were the 
Hon. Thomas Thomson, the former 
“stone cutter mason’? mayor of New 
Bedford, and Hon. Benjamin N. John- 
son of Lynn. Mayor Dow of Beverly 
also spoke. The first named speaker in 
discussing the conditions of today made 
references to President Roosevelt which 
aroused the greatest enthusiasm and he 
‘was given a reception seldom accorded a 
speaker when at the close of his talk the 
gathering, with one accord, jumped to 
him three rousing cheers and a tiger. 
Among those who sat at the head table 
were F. K. Hooper of Manchester, a 
member of the committee in charge: 
James B. Dow, of Beverly Farms, and 
Selectman wet of Manchester who 
was a guest of the. association. Others 
present included:

DEMONSTRATION BY PHYSICAL TRAINING CLASS. 
The demonstration lesson given in the 
Manchester Town hall last Saturday even- 
ing by Miss Connolly’s class in physical 
training, Beverly Farms, was an_attrac- 
tion well worth seeing. It might be sug- 
gested, in fact, that it proved a surprise, 
for the hature of the class was unknown 
to many. 
Miss Connolly is to be congratulated 
on the success of her class, and the 
course of training through which she has 
guided the half hundred or more young 
people has done much good. About 
thirty of the class took part in the exhibi- 
tion lesson, the floor space not permitting 
more to take part. . 
A space was set off in the center of 
the hall, and three rows of seats were 
arranged along the two sides of the hall, 
and half a dozen or more on the end, 
while there were seats also upon the 
stage. Promptly at 8 o’ clock Miss Con- 
nelly marched from the anti-room with 
‘her class and they marched in single file 
around the room, later forming in 
squads, etc., and giving an exhibition of 
the so-called Swedish exercises. Fancy 
steps was the second number, and wands 
and class fencing completed this part of 
the program. ‘Iwo pretty little misses 
from Miss Connolly’s second year class 
at Roxbury, Genevieve O’ Connor and 
Katherine Green, —then gave an exhibi- 
tion of some fancy steps, and when they 
had completed they were each presented 
with a beautiful bouquet of roses. 
Dumb-bell exercises,.in which bean 
bags were substituted for dumb-bells, and 
relay races by the class were the next at- 
tractions and this was followed by classic 
dancing by Miss Anna Connolly. . Misses 
Marguerite Higgins and Gertrude Con- 
nolly, Sargent School, ’09, gave an ex- 
hibition of indian club swinging and fenc- 
ing. The concluding numbers by the 
class were classic dancing (the caprice 
movement) and dodge ball. 
Miss Connolly has been able to con- 
duct her class at the Farms largely through 
the assistance of a summer resident. 
Notice to Subscribers. 
A recent ruling of the Postal auth- 
orities at Washington forbids a pub- 
lisher to mail his paper at second-class 
rates to a subscriber one year or more 
in arrears. The publisher may, 
however, continue to mail the paper, 
but at newspaper rates, which practi- 
cally means one cent a copy, i.e, 
one cent for four ounces or less, 
each single package. 
That the readers of the BREEzE re- 
ceiving the paper by mail may be in- 
formed the order is printed here and 
is as follows: 
*“A reasonable time will be al- 
lowed publisher to secure renewals of 
subscriptions, but unless subscriptions 
are expressly renewed after the terms 
for which they are paid, within the 
following period, weeklies within one 
year,—they shall not be counted in 
the legitimate lists of subscribers, and 
copies mailed on account thereof shall 
not be accepted for mailing at the sec- 
ond-class postage rate of 1 cent a 
pound, but may be mailed ‘at the tran- 
sient second-class postage rate of 1 
cent for each four ounces or fraction 
thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed.’’ 
To those of our readers who may 
have allowed their subscriptions to 
lapse a year or more this special notice 
isaddressed. A publisher may have 
every confidence in his delinquent sub-: 
scribers, and under former conditions, 
would probably continue them on his 
subscription list, but such a course is 
now impossible, as no_ publisher can 
afford to do’ business with backward 
subscribers, handicapped by the ruling 
above mentioned.
