NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
FAIR CLOSED. 
S. of V. Fair in Manchester a Pronounced 
Success. 
The Sons of Veterans’ fair in Man- 
chester, after a most successful week, 
came to a close last Saturday night, 
at which time the remaining’ articles 
for sale were sold at auction, and the 
prize winners of: the week were an- 
nounced. Michael E. Gorman acted 
as auctioneer, and a majority of the 
articles brought good prices. 
Though it is not definitely known 
at this date just the exact result of the 
fair, financially, it is safe to say’ a 
goodly sum will be turned into the 
treasury by the committee after the 
bills are paid.. Two years ago this 
figure was more than $500. This 
year it will not be so much.

last Saturday night, follow:

candy in bottle, 945; Lewis Killam

A feature of the fair was the shoot- 
ing gallery, which was very ably con- 
ducted by George Dyer, assisted by 
Ezra Crombie and Ralph Treddick. 
Last Saturday night the final shoot-off 
took place. Some attractive prizes 
were offered for the best scores, and 
before the week ended considerable 
interest was centred in the shooting. 
Leslie Mason proved himself easily 
the best shot, but he was tied before 
the week ended by Joseph N. Lipman, 
A. E. Hersey and Wm. Porter, each 
of whom made a record of 70 points 
out of a p ssible total of 75. 
The targets used were No. 1, with 
a Z-inch bulls-eye, and No. 2, with a 
$-inch bulls-eye. The distance was 
about 30 feet, and the shooting off- 
hand. Prizes were awarded for each 
target each evening, except Saturday, 
when cigars (presented by J. S. Reed) 
were given to the shooters obtaining a 
fixed score, and the week’s prizes were 
awarded. 
Following is a list of best scores for

Walked from Lynn. 
When the blizzard was at its high- 
est Wednesday night, about 6.45 
o'clock, a man knocked on the door 
of the Manchester police station. He 
was admitted by Chief Peabody, who 
looked at the stranger in amazement 
when he said he had walked from” 
Lynn in the storm, on his way to 
Gloucester. He had the appearance 
of having been. out in the storm for 
some time, and was almost exhausted 
when he reached the station. He said 
his name was Melvin Brooks and his 
home in Gloucester. He was givén a 
warm meal and lodgings at the station 
over night.
