No Races at Manchester. 
- Both boat races scheduled for this week 
at the Manchester Yacht club were called off 
on account of unsuitable weather conditions. 
In the open race postponed from last week 
there was not enough wind, only one boat, 
the “Khalifa,” owned by W. A. Tucker 
crossing the line within the time limit. The 
judges therefore called the race off. 
On Tuesday the weather conditions were 
the exact opposite and the third champion- 
ship race like the two preceeding ones had 
to be called off on account of there being 
too much wind. 
Society Opera. 
The comic opera ‘‘Waiwonaissa” was giv- 
en by North Shore society folk in the P. T. 
Jackson barn at Pride’s Crossing last Friday 
and Saturday, before a large audience from 
the most prominent families on the shore. 
The parts were all taken by well-known ladies 
and gentlemen and were well carried out.

Water Sports at Manchester. 
Society was out in force at the water 
sports held off the Manchester yacht club 
at West Manchester on Wednesday after- 
noon. Nearly all the’ prominent North 
Shore families from Beverly to Magnolia 
were represented on the piazzas of the club 
house and from a social standpoint it was 
one of the events of the season. 
The sports were of avaried nature and 
furnished lots of fun, both to the partici- 
pants and to the spectators. Among the 
events were single tender race, blind dory 
race, swimming race, walking the pole, div- 
ing contest, tub race, canoe tournament and 
a game of aquatic base ball with five men on 
each team, the teams representing in so far 
as possible Beverly and Manchester. 
Handsome silver cups were given as 
prizes in the events. The summary: 
Diving — Won by C. B. Kimball; W. P. 
Hall, second. 
Walking pole— Won by Charles E. Cott- 
ing, Jr., ‘Gay Fleurette.”

Swimming race — Won by F. M. Rivinus ; 
C. B. Kimball, second. 
Canoe race — Won by Edward Wiggles- 
worth and C. W. Amory.

Tremont Theatre. 
Great interest naturally centres in the 
announcement that ‘“‘The Sho-Gun,” the 
newest of light operas to be brought out by 
Henry W. Savage, will follow ‘“‘ Woodland” 
at the Tremont Theatre, Boston. The en- 
gagement of ‘ The Sho-Gun” begins on next 
Monday evening, August 22. The author of 
the piece is George Ade, who has given the 
American stage such distinct hits as “ Peggy 
from Paris,” “The Sultan of Sulu,” and 
“The County Chairman.” The composer is 
Gustav Luders. Taking into consideration 
the past achievements of both the author 
and composer of “ The Sho-Gun,” as well as 
the number of successful productions made 
by Henry W. Savage, the public has a right 
to expect something exceedingly good in this 
new piece. The production is said to be one 
of the most. elaborate that has ever been 
brought out under a Savage trade-mark. 
Mr. Luders’ score is tuneful from beginning 
to end, and many pronounce his work in 
“The Sho-Gun” the best he has yet done. 
The songs in the piece which are likely to 
set Boston to whistling are ‘“She’s Just a 
Little Different,” “ Little Moo-Zoo May,” 
“JT Am Yours Truly,” “Flutter Little Bird,” 
and “Your Honeymoon Will Last.” An 
especially strong cast has been engaged for 
the Boston opening. The list of principals 
includes Georgia Caine, Christie MacDon- 
ald, Carrie E. Perkins, Blanche Adams, 
Charles E. Evans, William C. Wheedon, 
David Torrence, Thomas C. Leary and 
Edward B. Martindell.
