The Hesperus Hotel was sold at 
auction Feb. 25. It was bought by 
Frank D. Bennett of Gloucester for 
$1000 and the present mortgages and 
back taxes or other encumbrances. 
The Gloucester Safe Deposit and 
Trust Company hold a mortgage of 
$20,000, the Fuller heirs $5000, and 
Mrs. M. M. McClure $5000. 
The chafing dish party given by the 
Y.P.S.C.E. at the home of Mr. and 
Mrs. Jonathan May, Tuesday evening 
was very well attended, about 40 
young people being present. The 
feature of the evening was the cob- 
web. Strings were strung from the 
cellar to the upper story and on the 
end of each string was a fortune for a 
lady or a gentleman. The fortunes 
were mostly in rhyme and furnished 
much amusement. An admission of 
20 cents was charged and was given 
towards the parsonage fund. 
The whist party given by Mrs. 
Frank F. Story Wednesday afternoon 
was a very pleasant affair, about 24 
people being present. Ai light colla- 
tion of ice cream and cake was served. 
About $5 was realized towards the 
parsonage. 
The Ladies’ Aid society met with 
Mrs. William Symonds this week. 
Mrs. Robert B. Williams and

Mr. Willard’s Last Week. 
Mr. E. S. Willard, who has been 
cordially welcomed back to Boston by 
large audiences, has only one more 
week to stop at the Tremont Theatre, 
and in response to almost innumerable 
requests, will devote it entirely to 
revivals of plays which he has pre- 
sented during previous visits. On 
Monday and Tuesday evenings and at 
the Wednesday matinee, Mr. Willard 
will give his powerful impersonation 
of Cyrus Blenkarn in ‘“ The Middle- 
man.’ On Wednesday evening Mr. 
Willard’s polished, graceful and fer- 
vent performance of ‘‘ David Garrick ”’ 
will be the attraction. Thursday and 
Friday evenings and the Saturday 
matinee will be given up to Barrie’s 
delightful comedy, ‘‘The Professor’s 
Love Story,” in which Mr. Willard 
plays the dear old absent-minded, 
warm-hearted Prof. Goodwillie, who 
falls in love without knowing it, and 
renews his youth, to the astonishment 
of all who know him. Mr. Willard 
will take his farewell on Saturday 
evening, in the role of Dickens’ ‘‘ Tom 
Pinch.”
