ANNUAL BANQUET. 
Annual Reunion of Horticulturists in Man- 
chester a Pleasant Affair. 
Lee’s hall was crowded last night 
with the members of the North Shore 
Horticultural Society and their friends 
on the occasion of the annual banquet 
of the society. Avery finely prepared 
supper was served at 6.30 o'clock, 
when fully 130 people sat down, anda 
most attractive entertainment was 
ie by the committee following 
this. 
The program was opened by a vocal 
solo by Abbot Hoare, who sang with 
pleasing effect Shield’s “I am a Friar 
of Orders Grey.’”’ Foran encore he 
sang ‘‘Alexander,’’ Miss Edith L. 
Wheaton following with a piano solo, 
“‘Brise Primtaniere’”’ by Bohm. Miss 
Wheaton rendered as an encore God- 
ard’s “‘ Danse d’Etoiles.”’ 
The guest of the evening was the 
State Forester, Alfred Akerman of 
Boston, who spoke very interestedly 
of his work. He was followed by Miss 
Carolyn E. Allen, who sang with very 
pretty effect Harris’ ‘‘The Hills 0’ 
Skye,’’ and gave as an encore Thomas’ 
‘“‘ Japanese Love Song.’’ Miss Marion 
Scott followed with a violin selection, 
the ‘“‘Serenade,”’ and as an encore 
played a popular selection, “ Let’s all 
go up to Clark’s,” by Mills. 
The program was closed by a read- 
ing by Allen S. Peabody, which was 
given with marked effect. It was en- 
titled “John Smith, U.S.A.” As an 
encore he gave a comic selection, 
which was inclined to cast reflections 
on the horticulturists, and which 
gained him much applause. 
Mr. Akerman's remarks were of a 
thoroughly informal nature He 
spoke of the policy along which he was 
conducting his work, and told why the 
office was created. He said the lines 
of work taken up included a course of 
lectures to be given: by the State 
Forester at the Amherst Agricultural 
college, which should be especially 
designed for those who proposed to 
have charge of farms later on, in case 
these farms have wooded land. 
He spoke also of the state forest 
nursery which is to be established at 
Amherst in case there is sufficient ap- 
propriations made by the state. 
“For practical work for owners of 
woodland” said the speaker, “the 
state offers to give advice in the man- 
agement of woodland if he is willing 
to pay the travelling expenses of the 
forester or his assistant engaged in the 
_ work. If the condition of the wood- 
land makes it advisable the forester 
will draw up v written scheme of man- 
agement, known as a working plan.” 
He referred to the perplexing moth 
question as one of the forest problems, 
and spoke also of forest fires.

Mr. Martin’s Qualifications. 
Mr. Orrin A. Martin has this week 
filed his nomination papers for the 
office of selectman of Manchester. 
Mr. Martin’s qualifications for the 
office to which he aspires may be 
briefly reviewed with satisfaction. 
As a business mam he has had long 
and practical experience. His educa- 
tion along these lines dates from his 
boyhood, when he entered his father’s 
employ and proved himself adaptive 
to business methods. He later as- 
sumed the larger part of the technical 
work and familiarized himself care- 
fully with the many and varied details 
of commercial usage. 
He has for many years been en- 
gaged in the real estate business, buy- 
ing and owning many hundreds of 
acres here and elsewhere. His pecu- 
liar knowledge of Manchester and his 
long experience in handling real estate 
should mark him as one who would be 
valuable as an assessor. 
Mr. Martin further states in a clear 
cut declaration that if elected by his 
fellow townsmen to this worthy office 
he will, with strict impartiality, carry 
out the vote of the town on any and 
all questions. It is Mr. Martin’s 
desire to represent Manchester and to 
serve her highest interests.
