ESSEX 
The Summer Residence Zone 
IS RIGHT IN 
THE CENTRE OF 
It has high hills, beautiful woodland drives, a charming 
lake, a salt water-river which ‘‘like a ribbon of silver’’ flows 
to the sea. Boating, fishing and bathing abound. Although it 
has water on all sides it seldom if ever has the disagreeable 
fog which is so prevalent in other places. 
The high hills cov- 
ered with dense forests which surround the town keep the 
fog away. We have many desirable places aggregating about 
2000 acres for sale. 
One feature of Essex is, our valuation is 
so low that the addition of but one million would halve the tax 
rate.

The much advertised game of 
baseball between the Big Essex club 
and Perkins Box Factory club of 
Gloucester was played on the Town 
hall grounds Labor Day. Two 
games were played. A purse of $50. 
was put up for the winner of two 
games out of three. Quite lively 
games were expected, but they 
turned out to be quite tame affairs. 
But two games were needed and 
were both won by Essex by a score 
of 23 to 3 and 25 to 5. Veteran 
Wardie caught both games and 
filled that position as he only can. 
Rolfe and Fletcher took turns at 
pitching. Jacob Story developed 
great strength as a striker. He 
started in with a home run with 
three men on bases and made sever- 
al more during the game, besides a 
number of good base hits. A large 
crowd witnessed the games.
