NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Story Without Foundation. 
In conversation with Secretary 
Swett of the Manchester Board | of 
Selectmen, last evening, relative to 
the story that is in circulation to the 
effect that he was not a believer in 
the thorough manner the Superinten- 
dent of Streets had of clearing the side- 
walks of snow, Mr. Swett said: 
“The story is entirely without 
foundation, for only today I have had 
an informal talk with the Superinten- 
dent of Streets and his army of shovel- 
ers and insisted that they work early 
and late, to the end that all sidewalks 
of the town be freed of snow as quick- 
ly as possible ; and that roadbreakers 
and plows be sent to the extreme 
limits of all streets in order that resi- 
dents living in the outskirts of the 
town may receive the same benefits as 
those in the centre portions. 
«Supt. Kimball’s first move in his 
battle with the recent storm, was to 
shovel out all streets giving the Fire 
Department easy access in case a call 
occurred. He has today given his at- 
tention to the walks, and by Saturday 
night should have them in the usual 
good condition.”

Red Men Take Winthrop’s Scalp. 
The first in a series of very inter- 
esting tournaments in pool, whist and 
checkers between the Red Men’s and 
Winthrop clubs of Manchester was 
held last week at the former’s room 
in Pulsifer’s block, the points going 
slightly in favor of the Red Men. 
During the evening the room was 
crowded by the members of both 
clubs. Light refreshments were 
served by Chef F. G. Cheever. 
In the checker contest, between 
Joseph N. Lipman of the Winthrop 
club and Orrin A. Martin of the Red 
Men’s club, Lipman won three out of 
five games. 
W. J. Mitchell and R. J Baker for 
the Red Men, and Walter Bennett 
and Oscar Wing for the Winthrop 
club, composed the whist teams, the 
evening’s score resulting 133 to 86 
points in favor of the Red Men. 
The summary of the pool matches 
between the two teams, resulting in 
157 to 143 points in favor of the Red 
Men, follows :

Gentlemen’s Night. 
The first ‘gentlemen’s night”’ of 
the Ladies’ Sewing Circle of the Con- 
gregational church in Manchester for 
fifteen years was held at the chapel 
Thursday night of this week, and 
proved quite a successful social event, 
despite the recent storm. About 40 
were present and partook of the gen- 
erous supper prepared by the ladies. 
The “gentlemen’s night” held fifteen 
years ago was at the home of Mr. and 
Mrs. William J. Johnson on Bridge 
street, the occasion then being more 
in the nature of a house-warming: 
Mrs. O'Flynn: “Aff fer th’ day, 
Jamesy? Well, come back oily.”
