MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
The'stringency of the weather this 
week has put a damper on everything. 
Many of the summer residents who 
had planned to close. their’ winter 
homes in the city and open their cot- 
tages here, have been retarded in 
their plans because of the continued 
hard weather. Warmer weather is 
promised, however, for tomorrow and 
next week. If the weather man 
keeps his word next week will un- 
doubtedly see a big influx of the sum- 
mer colony.

The runaway fever.struck the town 
in force Wednesday, four horses being 
affected. It so happened, however, 
that nobody was injured or no serious 
damage wasdone. As Milton Knight 
was driving a pair of horses attached 
to one of Dunn’s express wagons from 
the express stable the horses bolted 
and galloped wildly over ‘the lawn in 
front of the Dunn residence, across 
the street, struck the curbing, turned 
about and galloped up into Morse’s 
court, narrowly avoiding two wagons 
in the road. Just before’ the 10.21 
train pulled into the station a horse 
belonging to T. D. Beaton, attached 
to a light democrat, started from the 
freight house and trotted up Beach 
street. Two or three men gave chase. 
The outfit was held up in front of the 
library. Shortly after one of the 
horses of Smith’s express came gallop- 
ing down School street. Through 
the square it dashed and up Central 
street; but when Elm ‘street was 
reached the horse eyed its stable and 
turned into the side street, incidental- 
ly tearing down part of the fence ad- 
joining the John W. Marshall estate.

Loaded down with blossoms that 
send out sweet fragrance the Magnolia 
tree in the yard back of Chas: Lee’s 
house, corner of Beach and Union 
streets, has attracted much attention 
during the past week. It is estimated 
there are between 800 and 900 blos- 
soms,on the tree. The striking fea- 
ture of it is in the fact that there are 
no leaves on the tree yet. The blos- 
sems are of pearl white. The tree is 
ot a southern variety.
