NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
FEMALE MINSTRELS. 
In Manchaster a Big Success. Good Singing and 
Acting. Children's Cake Walk a Feature. 
The Female Minstrels in the Man- 
chester Town hall, ‘Thursday evening 
under the direction of the Allen Relief 
Corps was a success in every way. The 
hall was crowded, thus assuring a good 
financial success, and the show was good. 
The singing was good, and some of 
the soloists in particular were given a 
good hand, while the ends had _ plenty 
jokes, most of which made hits. © 
Mrs. Hannah Tappan made an ex- 
cellent interlocutor, and on either side 
of her sat Miss Pauline Semons and Ed- 
win Cook, who later acted as drummer 
boy in the closing chorus. In the circle 
were Mrs. Alice Lee, Mrs. Arthur Hey, 
- Mrs. Lucinda Baker, Mrs. Lydia . Den- 
nis, Mrs. E. E. Allen,. Mrs. G. A. 
Jones, Miss Agnes Sjolund, Miss Saddie 
Noyes, Mrs. Mary Lane, Mrs. Wm. 
Walen, Mrs. G. E. Hildreth, Mrs. E. 
J. Semons, Mrs. C. O. Howe; Miss 
Dillon Sjojund, Miss Olive Cook and 
Mrs. Cook, tambos; and Mrs. Mary 
Allen, Mrs. Austin and Mrs. J. S. 
Reed, bones. 
All numbers on the program were 
good, but the solos by little Miss 
Pauline Semons, Misses Dillon and Agnes 
Sjolund and by Mrs. Austin, call for 
special mention. ‘The fancy step of 
Mrs. Reed also was especially good. 
The parts were all well rendered and 
two and three encores were given’in al- 
most every case. “The program follows:

The feature of the olio was the cake 
walk by six little misses, in white. They 
were excellent little performers, and af- 
ter they had gone through their “* walk’’ 
they were called back. ‘They were 
trained by Miss Beatrice Long, who |is 
to be congratulated on her success. “The 
girls were Pauline Semons, Marion La- 
tions, Brenda Cook, Frances Norie, 
Gladys Hiidreth and Elsie McCormack. 
The stump speech by Mrs. J. S. 
Reed was delivered with all the pomp 
and power, gesticulations, etc., of a 
trained stump speaker, and Mrs. Reed 
received much applause. ‘The hits were 
well pointed. 
The topical song was by Miss Ma- 
linda Bully Johnson, underneath whose 
disguise was Harry S. Tappan, and it 
contained a bunch of good hits, a few of 
which follow: 
Some things look very queer to us, 
‘They mystify us fully, 
How does this town keep on the map, 
Without the aid of Bully? 
Town meeting days are over now, 
No one will fuss and fret, 
But still we can’t help asking why 
You gave the hook to Smith. 
The windows in the Postoffice, 
Were washed by Ed. Wilcox. 
And now the doctors in the town 
Are rushed attending shocks. 
In yeass to come, in this old town, 
About 2003, 
They’ ll say: Who built the streets for you? 
Ben Crombie did, by gee! 
Our fire department takes the cake 
As youare all aware, 
It even takes your wife away 
If you have one to spare. 
(CARMI M22, aE Clem lel) 
Harry S. Tappan directed the show 
and is to be complimented on his  suc- 
cess. Lagory Wade wrote the orches- 
tratations. Long’s orchestra furnished 
the music, and their work was well per- 
formed, also. 
The electrical effects were by Edward 
Killam, all the apparatus, fixtures, etc., 
being loaned through the courtesy of 
Clark & Mills Electric Co. 
BEVERLY FARMS 
Mrs. Duncan ’T. Smith met with an 
accident Wednesday afternoon which 
very fortunately did not result more seri- 
ously. She was returning from a_ visit 
‘on Hart street and accepted the invita- 
tion of a friend who happened along to 
ride to her home, and when alighting 
her coat caught in the lamp on the car- 
riage just as the spirited horse started. 
The result was that she was thrown to 
the ground and the wheel passed over 
one leg.
