Conoert and Musicale. 
The concert and musical entertain- 
ment given in the Manchester town 
hall last night by the Manchester 
mandolin club was of high order, and 
was one of the best of the kind ever 
given here. All the numbers of the 
program were rendered with an ex- 
pression and feeling such as only the 
accomplished musician can give. The 
Spanish serenade, “ La Polonia,’’ by 
Yarder, was exceptionally well rend- 
ered, as was also the song, ‘‘ By the 
Watermelon Vine.” 
The violin solos by Miss Marion 
Scott emphasised more than ever to 
her Manchester friends the true 
artistic skill with which she handled 
‘ her instrument, and the vocal solo by 
Miss McDiarmid, and the readings by 
Mrs. Joyce was especially pleasing. 
The club is surely to be congratu- 
lated on the talent which it possesses, 
and the success of last night’s con- 
cert. It is understood several dates 
are being arranged for out-of-town 
concerts.

Large Pleasure Yacht. 
Work has been started at Fenton’s 
boat yard in Manchester this week on build- 
ing a 73 foot steamer for Guy Norman of 
Beverly. The boat is to be of the latest 
style of pleasure yacht, modelled for com- 
fort rather than speed. She will be equip- 
ped with two 225 horsepower Standard en- 
gines. The decks will be flush. Arthur 
Binney of Boston is the designer. The 
yacht will be completed and ready for use 
next season. 
Doomed to Flames. 
After spending weeks in building for them- 
selves a club house which they would not 
feign call a shanty, a number of Manchester 
high school boys, mostly up-in-plainers, had 
to stand by and see their house go up in 
flames. It was located in Rust’s field, back 
of C. L. Craft’s barn, off Pleasant street 
extension. Monday evening about 7 o’clock 
it was discovered the building was on fire. 
The boys gathered, but too late to save the 
house. The boys called themselves the 
“ Cricket club,” and celebrated the comple- 
tion of their house a week ago Tuesday 
night by a baked bean supper.
