NORTH SHORE BREEZE 13 
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Dr. R. H. Fitz was down from 
Bostoa last Saturday afternoon on a 
flying visit looking around his summer 
place at West Manchetter. 
If present indications are any cri- 
terion the coming season is to be a 
busy one on the shore. Dozens of 
people have been down during the 
past week or two looking around for 
summer houses with intention to hire. 
A party was down last week look- 
ing over the A. G. Thayer house at 
West Manchester, and other property 
has been espied with similar intentions. 
Timothy L. White, one of the local 
boat builders, has just received the 
contract for building two 18 foot 
knockabouts for Messrs. Rice and 
Dennison of Tri Mountain, Michigan. 
The boats are of Crowninshield 
design. Mr. White has recently com- 
pleted a racer for Joshua Crane, jr., 
to be sailed in Buzzards Bay waters 
next season. 
Mrs. S. V. R. Crosby and Mrs. 
Boylston Beal of the Manchester 
summer colony are sailing this month 
for Europe where they will spend the 
balance of the winter season. 
Lew Dockstader’s Minstrels. 
Lew Dockstader’s great minstrel 
company, which will appear at the 
Tremont Theatre, Boston, for two 
weeks, beginning Monday, Feb. 13, is 
one of the largest and most expensive 
organizations of the kind ever gath- 
ered together in the history of min- 
strelsy. This company has two sixty- 
foot .baggage cars crowded with 
scenery and mechanical and electrical 
effects, three full quartets and ten 
solo singers, twenty-piece orchestra 
and a dozen comedians, who are not 
only genuinely funny, but who por- 
tray the real darkies. Of course, 
Lew Dockstader is the star of his 
company, as he is recognized as filling 
a unique position in minstrelsy, there 
being no one who even approaches 
him in magnetism, in comedy or re- 
putation. In addition to really artistic 
setting for the first part, and in this 
particular, surpassing even the more 
pretentious of his rivals in the busi- 
ness, he has made his second part 
largely a series of beautiful and sump- 
tuous stage pictures which are appro- 
priate to the various musical or 
comedy features presented. In brief, 
his show of this season is a splendid 
spectacle, which in addition to its 
beauty, has the merit of always being 
thoroughly apropos of what the com- 
pany is presenting.
