return to town would not be at all 
amiss. So bait and tackle, and boat 
and oars he procured, and oceanward 
he started. When he had reached the 
part of the harbor which is off West 
Manchester, where the bottom is 
plainly seen, he saw some little cun- 
ners wabbling their fins in the water 
underneath the boat. Quickly his 
hook and line he prepared, but ere he 
was ready to throw overboard, his fish 
were out of sight. And then he rowed 
to another spot, till he saw more fish ; 
but his attempt to pull in his would-be 
meal was foiled as before. Again and 
again he repeated the performance, 
and when he returned to town his 
boat was not loaded to the brim with 
cunners and flounders. Next time he 
says he will know enough not to fish 
by sight but by touch. 
Ball Team’s Good Record. 
The season’s work of the Manches- 
ter baseball team has, on a whole, been 
a decidedly good one. Out of eighteen 
games played, the boys have won 
twelve to their opponents six, and net- 
ting a total of 173 points to their op- 
ponents 118 
The table below gives a concise 
summary of the season’s work. Man- 
chester lost the first game played May 
14 against the Father Mathews of 
Peabody 4 to 7, but won the next 
three. 
Last year the season closed with 
Manchester and her opponents stand- 
ing even on the number of games lost, 
but this year the percentage of .666 
shows to what a degree of strength 
the team has been throughout the 
year. 
Great credit is due Capt. Walen for 
his work in running the team, and to 
Manager Percy A. Wheaton, as well 
as to Treasurer William Hoare of the 
association, who has steered the team 
through the season financially. The 
boys are all to be congratulated on 
their splendid record, and the public 
ought to feel fully repaid for the gen- 
erous support they have given the 
boys throughout the season.

TROLLEY TOURS. 
No. 7—To the Blue Hills or to Echo Bridge 
by Trolley. 
BY CHESTER GE. S TIGES, 
The journey to Boston by electrics 
has been described several times in 
these pages. On the last cash fare 
from Lynn to Boston an eight-cent 
check should be secured, which will 
be good for transfer to any line of the 
Boston system. 
We shall suggest two routes in this 
article, the first fare of which is paid 
by the eight-cent check mentioned 
above. 
One of the most interesting is the 
run to Mattapan. We take an elevated 
train for Dudley street, and board the 
car at the terminal, taking the through 
car to Canton via Blue Hill. This 
car passes the pleasure grounds at 
Franklin Park and Franklin Field by 
way of Blue Hill avenue, and from the 
station at the foot of Blue Hill an 
easy jaunt will take one to the summit. 
From here extended views are ob- 
tained on clear days. 
Blue Hill rises over 600 feet from 
the sea level, and shows most of its 
height, as the Neponset meadows at 
the base are nearly at tide level. 
Among the notable points to be seen 
are Mt. Wachusett, in Princeton, 
Mass., and Mt. Monadnock, in south- 
ern New Hampshire. Boston lies to 
the northward, and is an interesting 
study with an opera glass. 
The Blue Hill observatory, on the 
summit of the hill, is a private enter- 
prise, and is not open to the -public. 
From Blue Hill have been carried on 
many notable experiments in kite 
flying, by means of which photographs 
of the country below and other valua- 
ble observations have been secured. 
The pedestrian may return via the 
paths of the Metropolitan Park com- 
mission, over the crest of the hills to 
the Randolph electric line. This re- 
turns to Boston by way of Ashmont 
and Milton. Or one may resume the 
ride on the Canton car to Stoughton, 
from whence a local car will take us 
to Brockton. The return from Brock- 
ton may be made via Neponset or 
via Randolph and Milton, as pre 
ferred. ; 
The Newton and Boston line to 
Echo Bridge is another interesting 
ride. We use oureight-cent check to 
Watertown on any of the Boston Ele- 
vated lines, and there connect with 
the Needham car across the Charles 
River. While crossing the bridge 
note the historical tablets on either 
side, describing the history of the 
bridge and the Norseman ruins. 
The ride takes one through the 
centre of Newton, by many people 
known as the Garden City. Newton 
is a city of fine estates, and the trolley 
tourist will be impressed with the 
absence of fences. 
The ride crosses the beautiful Com- 
monwealth avenue boulevard, of which 
more will be spoken ina later number. 
Soon after, we cross the aqueducts of 
the Boston water supply, which we 
meet again at Echo Bridge. 
Newton Upper Falls is a paradise 
for the amateur photographer. Here 
is a rocky defile, through which the 
Charles River forces its way, and an 
old mill by the waterfall adds to the 
picturesque effect. The reservation’ 
is known as Hemlock Gorge, and it is 
spanned by the graceful stone arch 
known as. Echo Bridge, which carries. 
the Boston water supply across the 
valley of the Charles River.
