esied as pronounced a_ success as 
marked the preceding fairs of the 
local camp.

On Wednesday evening the Man- 
chester Mandolin club furnished a 
highly entertaining concert, though 
the players were handicapped some- 
what by the noise in the hall. 
Dilks and Dilks of Philadelphia in 
a musical and comedy act, full of fun 
from start to finish, was the drawing 
card Thursday evening, and this was 
augmented by an orchestra both pre- 
ceding and following the act. 
The grand ball last night proved a 
most pronounced climax to the week’s 
events, and more than 100 couples 
were on the floor. Past Commander 
Frank W. Bell was floor director, and 
he led the grand march with past 
president Jennie Dennis of the relief 
corps. The aids were Curtis B. Stan- 
ley, Harry T. Swett, Thomas A. 
Baker, Orrin A. Martin and W. R. 
Bell. Long’s orchestra furnished ex- 
cellent music.

tion, and the prize committee, com- 
posed of Richard Baker (chaiiman), 
F. K. Swett, L. W. Floyd, Orrin A.

ment committee for the part they have 
taken in making the fair a success. 
An attractive program has been pro- 
vided each night, and nothing was

Lucy Ann Kitfield, 
Lucy Ann Kitfield, one of Man-- 
chester’s beloved o'd ladies, died sud- 
denly last night about 8.15 o’clock, at 
the home of her son, George A. Kit- 
field, Ashland avenue, at the age of 
87 years, 10 months. Death was due 
to old age, hastened on, undoubtedly, 
by heart trouble. te 
For a week Mrs. Kitfield had not 
been feeling well, and she has been 
confined to her bed most of the time. 
Yesterday, her condition being some- 
what worse, Mr. Kitfield called a nurse 
from the Salem hospital. She arrived 
on the 8.10 train last night, and as 
Mr. Kitfield left his mother’s bedside 
to look from the windows, as the 
carriage drove up with the nurse, the 
aged woman breathed her last. 
Mrs. Kitfield was greatly beloved 
by all who knew her. She was a 
native of Beverly, being a member of 
the old Danforth family. She mar- 
ried Henry Kitfield, and of their 
children, only one, George A., sur- 
vives. 
She was one of the three oldest 
members of the Congregational 
church, the other two being Deacon 
A. E. Low and Mrs. John Carter. 
She was born March 9, 1817. 
Funeral services will be held from 
her late home, Monday afternoon at 2 
o'clock. Rev. W. H. Ashley will 
officiate.
