NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BOYS’ BRIGADE OUTING. 
[Continued from page 1.] 
The company boarded the 7.32 train 
tor Boston, there being 382 privates, 
under Capt. Herman C. Swett, ist 
Lieut. Clarence Preston, 2d Lieut. 
Rodney Dow, 1st Sergt. Ernest Howe, 
2d Sergt. Willie Allen, and 3d Sergt. 
Cheever Hersey. They returned home 
on the 6 o’clock train. A few friends 
accompanied the boys, among whom 
was Rev E. H. Brewster, the organ- 
izer of the company, and to whom is 
due a large part of the success at- 
tained. 
No small part of the day’s success 
was due to the efficient work of the 
drum corps, composed of Fred Leach, 
Revere Pulsifer, Harry Slade and 
Ernest Howe, kettle drummers; Wil- 
lie Allen, bass drum, and John Lee, 
cymbals. They led the battalion, in 
which there were several other com- 
panies, and at the drill in the after- 
noon they were called upon to march 
up and down the field before the 
companies several times. 
We are pleased to present the fol- 
lowing account of the outing by one 
who accompanied the brigade : 
At 6.45 o’clock 35 boys were gath- 
ered in blue and white clusters on 
town common, and pretty soon the 
drummers sounded the assembly, and 
when in columns of fours they swung 
into line and marched with admirable 
grace up Bridge street to the house of 
Deacon Low, the memories of that 
day 130 years ago, as recorded in 
history, flocked to the minds of all. 
“They would do the same give the 
cause as good.” 
Quite a number assembled to see 
the boys off, and one gentleman thrust 
a dollar bill into the hands of the man- 
ager of the party, with an injunction 
to ‘ stand treat.” After reaching 
Boston the boys took the elevated to 
Dudley street, where for half an hour 
they remained in line until a special 
car was procured. On its arrival the 
Beverly, Charlestown and Manchester 
companies were packed in, and before 
the first stop was made a thorough 
acquaintance had been established. 
Reaching Dedham at 11 o’clock the 
captain marched the company to the 
bridge, from which a beautiful view 
can be had of ye old town of Dedham. 
Capt. Swett reported the presence of 
Company A, 3d Regiment, to Adjt. 
DeNoyer of the 2d battalion, and a 
place in the line was given the boys 
from home. 
There were all kinds of youth there 
— some medium, some little, some big. 
But frequently the remark was made 
as the Manchester company broke 
into columns of fours behind its ad- 
mirable drum corps, ‘Those fellows 
take the cake.” 
We were along side of the boys 
when the command to charge in the 
sham battle came, and though know- 
ing nothing of the strength of the 
enemy, company A with a cheer broke 
into double time and disappeared in 
the thickest. We followed as soon as 
practicable but ere we reached the 
storm center the roll of musketry. 
came to us, and the sharp firm words 
of the commanding officers. 
Shouts and cheers blended with the 
road of continued firing and when 
panting desperately the correspondent 
reached the seat of hostilities it was 
easily seen that Company A was hold- 
ing in check three companies and part 
of aregiment. Hats off to the boys 
from the North Shore! 
Lunch was eaten at 12.30. The 
brigade drill at 2 o’clock was superb. 
Over a thousand boys formed into 
companies, battalions and regiments 
passed the reviewing officers. Each 
time the boys from home went by the 
stand the onlookers, banked thick on 
every side’ broke into repeated accla- 
mations. 
The drum corps was selected to 
traverse the drill grounds before the 
entire brigade and as the military 
figures of the Manchester boys, their 
arms moving together with great pre- 
cision as they handled the sticks, 
swung across the parade grounds the 
other hearts from Manchester swelled 
with pride. 
Tired and dusty, their white ducks 
begrimmed, the boys arrived home on 
the 6.16 train and were dismissed at 
the town hall at 6.30 after giving three 
cheers and a tiger for nothing in par- 
ticular but for everything in general. 
The Home Mission circle of the 
Baptist church met in the vestry 
yesterday afternoon.
