Playground Work at Manchester 
Lawrence F. McCarthy, instructor 
at the Brook Street playgrounds, 
Manchester, is to remain until the 
15th of this month. He has been 
here since the middle of April. Few 
people of the older residents of the 
town know of the actual work being 
carried on under the direction of the 
school committee at the playgrounds. 
In a general way they know there 
is'a playgrounds and that somebody 
is in attendance to look after the 
They do not know that 
Mr. McCarthy has been giving regu- 
lar courses in instruction all sum- 
mer, thus doing much to improve 
and benefit the members of the 
younger generation. 
For instance, the program carried 
out each week, is somewhat as fol- 
lows: Monday forenoon, tennis les- 
sons, 10-11; baseball; afternoon, 
swimming classes, 8 to 14 years, at 
Singing beach, 2.30-4.30. Tuesday 
forenoon, tennis lessons, 10-11; af- 
ternoon, two classes in folk dancing, 
one class 8 to 12 years, the other 12 
to 15 years. Hours, 4-5. Wednesday 
forenoon, tennis lessons and games; 
afternoon, swimming lessons 2.30 to 
3.30 at Singing Beach. Thursday 
forenoon, gymnastic work on ap- 
paratus, 10-11; afternoon, folk danc- 
ing, 4-5, in Assembly hall. Friday 
forenoon, tennis lessons; afternoon, 
swimming. Saturday forenoon, gym- 
nastic work on apparatus. 
The work deviates from the above 
as the occasion and demands arise. 
Much good has come of these les- 
sons and the work in general and 
it is hoped that the good work can 
be carried on. Mr. McCarthy will 
probably go to Palm Beach, Fla.. 
this coming winter, though he has 
been made several offers to remain 
in Boston.

Wednesday noon an alarm was 
rung in from Box 52 for a slight 
fire at the boat yard belonging to 
Timothy White. It was thought at 
first that there was considerable 
danger, not only to the boat yard 
hut to the numerous other wooden 
buildings near. The damage was 
very slight, however, and the flames 
were extinguished in about a quar- 
ter of an hour. 
Mrs. Hodgdon, wife of the letter-

Beverly Farms Nine Victor Over 
Manchesters 
The baseball game at the Beverly 
Farms play-ground last Saturday 
afternoon between the Manchester 
and the Beverly Farms teams re- 
sulted in a victory for the Farmers. 
The score was 11 to 0. Both teams 
played pretty even until the 6th in- 
ning, when a few errors allowed sev- 
eral runs for the Farms team. Many 
of the Manchester ‘‘fans’’ com- 
plained that the Farms team was 
composed of star players from the 
Gloucester and Rockport teams, but 
as a matter of fact the Farms team 
was almost to a man what it has 
been all summer. A return game 
will be played on the Brook street 
diamond, Manchester, a week from 
to-morrow, and it is safe to say it 
will be the hottest game of the sum- 
mer.
