20 
Champions of Essex County. 
By the score of 2 to1, Beverly de- 
feated Salem last Saturday on Pea- 
body’s field in the final game of the 
series for championship of Essex 
county. 
‘The game was one of the best of 
the season, abounding in brilliant fea- 
tures and clever playing, while the 
large crowd of rooters was kept on 
the anxious seat from the time the 
umpire called “Play”, until the last 
ball was pitched. 
Higgins was in the box for Salem 
while Leo Hafford served *them up 
for the home team. Both pitchers 
pitched masterly ball, keeping the 
hits down to a small figure and _ hav- 
ing the few that were made well scat- 
tered. Hafford, however, had slight- 
ly the better of his opponent and also 
received a little better support at 
critical points. 
Not a run was scored by either 
team until the eighth inning, although 
several times runs seemed imminent. 
In the first inning Sherlock led off 
with a three-bagger, but even then 
Salem failed to score. Again in the 
fifth, Beverly seemed almost sure to 
score with men on first and third and 
NORTH. SHORE BREEZE 
only one out, but the next two men 
flied out. 
In the first of the eighth, Salem 
made the first tally. Story received 
the gift of the first base, went around 
to third on an error and scored on a 
hit along the first base line. 
Beverly evened up matters in her 
half on Madden’s three-bagger and 
Spiller’s out at first. In the ninth 
the winning run was scored with two 
out. With one gone, Hafford and 
Grant singled. Both advanced on 
Kelley’s sacrifice and Hafford scored 
on Madden’s drive, which Sherlock 
failed to gather up. The summary:—

The New Ade-Luders’ Opera. 
The new opera, “The Sho-Gun,” now run- 
ning at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, is un- 
deniably one of the most emphatic operatic 
hits that has been developed in many sea- 
ons and is proving by all odds the most pop- 
ular production Henry W. Savage ever has 
offered Boston playgoers. The piece is 
cordially welcomed and is a happy return to 
the old style comic opera, and the efforts of 
those who brought about the development 
of the theme to adhere to a strictly artistic 
plane has awakened very keen appreciation. 
Before the opera was produced here, the 
claim was freely made that the book of 
“The Sho-Gun” represented Mr. Ade’s best 
work in the libretto line. Seeing the opera 
fully bears out this assertion. The same 
may be said of Gustav Luders’ music. The 
production Mr. Savage has given the opera 
is perfect in every particular. The cos- 
tumes are magnificent, the scenery imposing 
and always in the atmosphere, while the 
stage pictures and groupings reflect un- 
limited credit upon George F. Marion, Mr, 
Savage’s general stage director, who ar- 
ranged them. A postive limit has been 
placed upon the Boston engagement of this 
popular piece. al 
Before Grand Jury. 
The case of W H. Reardon of 
Beverly Farms, charged with larceny 
of grain from Smith’s express stable 
on Elm street, Manchester, came be- 
fore the grand jury in Lawrence 
Wednesday. The witnesses were 
Chief S. S. Peabody, Fred J. Merrill, 
William Fleming ard Mr. Gilchrist, 
stablemen for Smith’s express, all of 
Manchester. Reardon is alleged to 
have taken two bags of grain from the 
express company’s stable Saturday 
night, July 16. On the 18th he was 
in Salem court on the charge and the 
case was turned over to the grand 
jury.
