At the meeting of the Chautauqua 
guarantors last evening H. W. Pur- 
ington resigned as treasurer and 
Frank A. Foster was elected to fill the 
vacancy, I. M. Marshall, chairman; 
J. A. Lodge and Daniel E. O’Brien 
were named as an advertising com- 
mittee and the president was author- 
ized to appoint a ticket and a hospi-

It remained for Patrick O’Brien, 
Mrs. ‘C. A. Munn’s butler, to intro- 
duce the autoped to the North Shore. 
The first we have seen made its ap- 
pearance on Manchester streets this 
week with Patrick manipulating it. 
The autoped was all the craze at Palm 
Beach this winter. It is a I-cyl. 2- 
wheel affair, about 4 feet long and 
will travel about 20 miles an hour. 
While its use is out of the question 
on rough country roads, it is as much 
at home on Manchester’s smooth mac- 
adam streets as on the hard sands at 
Palm Beach. The manipulator stands 
as he rides, and there is room for one 
passenger. Mr. ©’Brien’s bride of 
last fall, formerly Miss Hazel Scott 
of Manchester, has returned to Man- 
chester and is making her home with 
the Charles Chadwicks, School st.

chase several new sign posts to be 
placed on dangerous corners about

temptation on the part of the autoists 
to speed. Two “go slow” posts were 
ordered for “‘Crafts’ hill,” one for the 
hill on Summer st., near the ‘Lily 
pond; two “keep to the right” signs 
for the postoffice corner and one for 
the corner of Pine, Bridge and Cen- 
tral sts. : 
Fire was discovered just after 11 
o’clock yesterday morning in the barn 
of Albert Lucas at Manchester Cove.

barn was entirely in flames when the 
firemen arrived and was entirely con- 
sumed. A cow stable separated from 
the barn was saved. The house caught 
fire several times, but a water curtain 
checked the flames. | The loss was 
covered by a blanket insurance on
