NORTH ‘SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, 
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock 
as one of Samuel Knight & Sons 
heavy teams loaded with loose hay 
was coming down Union street, in 
front of Bullock Bros. store one of the 
runners sank in the recently filled 
trench dug in connection with the 
telephone conduits, and hay rack, hay, 
man and all went over ina heap on 
the road. 
Charles Williams, who with two 
other Manchester men went to Jam- 
aica the early part of the winter to 
work on the construction of a large 
hotel, arrived home Monday. He 
declares there is considerable differ- 
ence in the weather of the two places. 
Mr. Williams will spend the next 
week at his former home in Maine. 
Dr. Tyler of Cambridge has this 
week opened an office in town, and is 
for the present at W.R. Bell’s on 
Union street. 
Station Agent F. Clifford Rand 
entertained as guests at his Union 
street home last evening a number of 
Boston & Maine ‘‘ magnates,” also a 
representative of the Armstrong News 
Co. An excellent dinner was served 
at 8.30. Dennison’s orchestra ren- 
dered a musical program during the 
evening. 
The Event of the Season. 
The Red Men’s ball in Manchester, 
next Wednesday evening —Washing- 
ton’s Birthday — has promise of being 
the event of the winter. Mayor Mac- 
Donald of Gloucester is to be the 
guest of honor, and he will be accom- 
panied by a large delegation of Red 
Men from the Gloucester and Rock- 
port tribes. Allen S. Peabody, who 
is chairman of the committee of ar- 
rangements, is making plans for a 
gala time. 
Mayor MacDonald will arrive on 
the 6.42 train, and will be met at the 
station by two of the past sachems 
and will be escorted to Town hall. 
A reception will be held from 7 to 8 
o’clock, when all attending wil] have 
an opportunity to meet the Mayor. 
In the receiving line will be Mayor 
MacDonald, Supt. Geo. Kimball, Geo. 
S. Sinnicks, Selectman Swett and 
Allen S. Peabody. 
During the reception Miss Edith L. 
Wheaton will render piano selections. 
The hall will be handsomely dec- 
orated for the occasion with flags and 
bunting. Town Treasurer Edwin P. 
Stanley will superintend the decorat- 
ing. 
Dancing will be from 8 to12 0’clock. 
Long's orchestra will furnish the 
music. From the -manner in which 
the tickets are selling it would seem 
the hall will be crowded for the event. 
To Hold Show in Beverly? 
Henry Menkin, gardener for Francis 
M. Whitehouse at Manchester Cove, 
was the principal speaker at the North 
Shore Horticultural society meeting 
last night, his talk being on ‘ Chick- 
ens,’’ which topic proved very inter- 
esting indeed. 
As a result of action taken at last 
night’s meeting it is likely that the 
regular chrysanthemum show of the 
society, held in Manchester formerly, 
will be held in Beverly City hall next 
fall. 
«Village Improvement ”’ will be the 
subject of the next meeting. 
A very pretty feature of last night’s 
meeting was an exhibit of cyclamen 
in bloom, from the W. B. Walker 
estate, displayed on three small tables 
by Thomas Jack, gardener. 
A Pretty Party. 
The first dancing party under the 
direction of Long’s new orchestra, in 
Manchester Town hall last evening, 
was a decidedly pretty affair and was 
a pronounced success. There were 
more than 70 couples on the floor. 
The grand march was led by Mr. and 
Mrs. George S. Sinnicks, who were 
followed by 30 couples. 
The matrons of the party, who were 
stationed in the corner of the hall 
opposite the stage, were Mrs. Frank 
P. Knight, Mrs. Frank G. Cheever, 
Mrs. C. L. Norton and Mrs. George 
S. Sinnicks. 
The new orchestra, which played 
exceptionally fine last night on the 
occasion of their first appearance, is 
composed of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. 
Long, Joseph Allen, Chester Cook, 
Claudius Temple, Byron Bullock, Mat- 
thew Hamilton and John Prest. 
Frank Abbott of Magnolia acted as 
prompter last night. About fifteen 
couples came over from Magnolia by 
barge for the party. 
Lively Runaways. 
Yesterday afternoon as Charles 
Hannable was turning around in W. 
L. Putnam’s sleigh in Central square, 
Manchester, the light runabout tipped 
over and frightened the horse so that 
it run away. Up School street it 
dashed, narrowly avoiding other 
sleighs, and past Baker’s, up Mill 
street to Ayer’sice pond on Forest 
street, where Mr. Hannable found it 
sometime later. The sleigh, which 
was pulled on its side over the entire 
distance, was considerably battered. 
No other damage resulted. 
Another runaway occurred Wednes- 
day evening about 6 o’clock when one 
of W. B. Walker’s horses took fright 
at something in Central square and 
galloped furiously up Union street, 
around post office corner, down Beach 
street and over the crossing just be- 
fore the train arrived. It was found 
later at the McMillan estate. 
The Town Auditorship. 
It is quite interesting to note that 
in the selection of a town auditor this 
year the voters of Manchester will 
have four names to choose from, a 
greater number than has ever before 
run for the office. 
The four men who are candidates 
are Allen’ S. Peabody, Frank G, 
Cheever, Howard M. Stanley and 
Leon W. Carter. 
Mr Cheever, the last candidate to 
appear, isone of Manchester’s most 
popular young men. He isproprietor 
of the Frank G. Cheever Co., drug- 
gists. Previous to entering into the 
drug store business he was for 14 
years connected with the Boston and 
Maine railroad. During that time he 
rose through the ranks from mes- 
senger boy at the local station to 
operator, assistant agent and from 
1895 to 1903 agent of the Manchester 
station. 
Mr. Cheever is a prominent mem- 
ber of the Odd Fellows, Red Men, 
Winthrop club and Red Men’s club. 
Work of Art. 
The Manchester public library has 
this week been presented by Charles 
W. Fitz of Woburn an interesting 
work of art, which came into the pos- 
session of Capt. Charles Fitz, whom 
many of Manchester's older residents 
will remember, on one of his trips to 
South America. The work repre- 
sents a group of natives of Surinam, 
preparing cassava from which tapioca 
is made. In the foreground flows a 
river and on the banks of this are 
fourteen natives, some in the crude 
looking dwelling, others bringing into 
the camp game and fish which they 
have caught, and others at work 
under the tall mangrove trees. 
Augustus Tappan. 
Augustus Tappan, a native of Man- 
chester and for many years a resident 
here, died at his home in Tewkesbury 
the early part of the week and was 
brought to Manchester, Thursday for 
burial. The deceased wasa son of 
the late Col. Israel Tappan, and two 
sisters now survive him, Mrs. Abbie 
Gray and Miss Bethiah Tappan, both 
of whom live in the Tappan home- 
stead on Bennett street. Rev. E. H. 
Brewster officiated at the funeral in 
Memorial chapel Thursday.
