MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Mr. and Mrs. Greely S. Curtis, who 
closed their house on Smith’s Point 
the latter part of November, have 
recently settled in their new home in 
New York, located at 112 East 17th 
street.

town last Saturday, having come down

improvements being made at his place. 
Eben Jordan has shipped 150 head 
of American bred hackneys, from 
weanlings up to three years, to the 
farm of Senator Fairfax, at Leesburg, 
Va. The idea of shipping to Virginia 
for the winter is to allow the young- 
sters of the Plymouth hackney stuc 
to have the value of outdoor life all 
the year round, and incidentally to 
escape the rigors of a New England 
winter. At the Forge farm the horses 
would have comfortable quarters, but 
they would have to remain indoors 
during three months of the fee By 
winter ing in Virginia Mr. Jordan hopes 
to be able to produce larger horses.—

for his own use next season a 1905

yacht Velthra, enjoying a spin along 
the shore in his car.

asmart “at home” for her daughter

urday afternoon. Later on Mrs. 
Monks will give a dinner dance for 
her daughter, which will be attended 
by a large number of Boston society 
folk. 
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Head closed 
‘¢ Undercliff,”’ their magnificent house 
near Dana’s beach, Monday, and re- 
turned to their 412 Beacon street 
home for the balance of the winter. 
This is the first year the Heads have 
lingered on the shore after the season 
had closed, but they are so well pleased 
with life here at this season, they will 
remain late every year after this.

Exhibit of School Work, 
The exhibit of school work of the 
pupils of the Geo. A. Priest school, 
Manchester, in town hall next Tuesday 
as announced elsewhere, promises to 
be of unusual interest, and should at- 
tract every parent as well as every 
citizen of the town interested in the 
welfare of the schools. The exhibit is 
a departure for Manchester, but a de- 
parture, nevertheless, in the right di- 
rection. 
The main purpose of the exhibit is 
to give the citizens of Manchester, 
and especially the parents of the 
pupils, an opportunity to see just the 
work being carried on in the various 
grades of the school. 
Not only will the work of the Sloyd 
and sewing classes be exhibited, but all 
work —arithmetic, spelling, writing, 
history, grammar, eeography, and all 
the other various subjects. The work 
will be displayed on tables, so as to be 
easily seen. 
The hall will be open Tuesday after- 
noon from 3 o'clock to 5, and in the 
evening from 7.30 to 9. During that 
time Principal Albert Mead, and other 
teachers and pupils will be present so 
as to explain the work.
