MANCHESTER. 
To-morrow will be children’s day at 
the Baptist church. It will be observed 
by a sermon to the children in the 
morning and by a concert in the 
evening. At the Baptist church last 
Sunday three candidates received the 
right hand of fellowship. 
The committee in charge of the 
Red Men’s outing at Tuck’s Point 
next Friday have arranged quite a 
program for the day. A ball game 
and other sports will be held in the 
morning and an attractive dinner will 
be offered at noon. 
Post 67, G. A. R., at their last meet- 
ing appointed a committee to make 
arrangements for the post to attend 
the national encampment in Boston 
this summer and to parade with the 
veterans on August 16. The veterans 
are making a strong endeavor to raise 
funds to attend the convention, and 
if they are successful it is likely they 
will go ina body and take with them 
the local band. This being the first 
encampment of the national body in 
Boston since 1890, and realizing it will 
be the last one in this part of the 
country that niost of them will ever 
have a chance to attend, the comrades 
are especially desirous to attend the 
one in Boston The encampment will 
be held the week of August 15. 
The first in the series of dances to 
be given by the local Camp, S. of V., 
will be held in the town hall June 22. 
Mrs. George F. Allen, who has 
been spending the week with relatives 
in New Boston, N. H., came home 
Thursday. 
Rep. F. K. Hooper of this town 
was one of the 151 who went over the 
governor’s veto in the House Thurs- 
day and voted in favor of the Civil 
War bounty bill. 
Carpenters started work at the 
Manchester House yesterday morning, 
covering the roof temporarily, and 
men were also at work cleaning up in- 
side the house. Work will be pushed 
ahead so as to have the place ready 
for business at the earliest possible 
moment. It is understood the old 
roof will be torn away anda French 
roof put on in its place, thus enlarging 
the building considerably. 
The first picnic of the season will 
be held at Tuck’s point today if the 
weather permits, when Fred J. Merrill 
and family, and relatives from Salem 
and Peabody will enjoy an outing. 
Horace Standley has put out a 
unique calendar this week in the shape 
of a calendar pad attached to a card 
on which is the summer arrangement 
of trains between Manchester and 
Boston. |

The BREEZE ‘can state definitely 
that the electric lights will be turned 
on in the West Manchester section 
Monday. ‘The wires were tested yes- 
terday. Allis ready at the station. 
Gloucester merchants are afraid 
they will lose the trade of John Hays 
Hammond, one of their summer resi- 
dents at Fresh Water Cove, because 
of the condition of the roads between 
Mr. Hammond’s house and Gloucester 
centre. Says the Gloucester 77zmes : 
‘Unless the sroadssare fixed My: 
Hammond and his family will transfer 
theirtrade, which consists of the pur- 
chases for the household, to Manches- 
ter. In any of the automobiles which 
they have on the premises they can 
make the trip to Manchester in 18 
minutes, deliver their orders and have 
them attended to and delivered in a 
short time, and even if the automo- 
biles are busy the telephone can be 
used.”” Mr. Hammond was formerly 
associated with Cecil Rhodes in South 
Africa. 
Hot and Cold. 
Down the North Shore from Bever- 
ly to Gloucester the dinner cooled and 
the cook grew hot Thursday evening, 
as they waited together for the arrival 
of the head of the house who failed to 
come at the usual hour and whose non- 
appearance caused consternation 
among the members of his family and 
made the telephone wires to the 
Hub hot with messages of inquiry. 
The station platforms were lined at 
every station with people who looked 
anxiously up the track for the appear- 
ance of the train that did not come. 
In the meantime the smoker on the 
Boston & Maine express that leaves 
Boston at 4.30 was filled with an at- 
mosphere colored in varying shades of 
blue, due partly to the tobacco smoke. 
It was all due to the fact that the 
tire on the driving wheel of the en- 
gine came off and the train was 
stalled near Castle Hill, Salem, until 
ahe arrival of the 5.14 train which res- 
cued the ‘belated travelers and 
brought them down where-the cool 
sea breezes of the North Shore cooled 
their heated minds as it had cooled 
their dinners before them.
