MANCHESTER, 
The minstrel show in town hall, 
Wednesday evening, by the Ben Hur 
minstrels of Gloucester, though not 
attracting a large audience, was thor- 
oughly enjoyed by those who attended. 
There were almost thirty in the circle 
and there were a dozen or more solo- 
ists. Jokes were in profusion. 
Roberts & Hoare are building at 
the Mrs. William Paine estate, Cool- 
idge’s Point, a large boat house for 
Mrs. Paine’s son, who will move down 
from Boston soon. 
The pile driver was brought into 
the harbor Thursday to drive some 
new piles at the Beach street pier. 
Last winter’s ice, which covered the 
flats for weeks, was responsible for 
the pulling out of those driven last 
year. 
Many North Shore patrons of the 
Foster-Currier Laundering company, 
of Boston, were losers as a result of 
a fire which destroyed their plant 
early Thursday morning. The build- 
ing in which the laundry was estab- 
lished was owned by George Cabot of 
Manchester and Boston.

in the big Templar parade in Boston, 
Wednesday, with the Gloucester com-

The boys were banqueted after the 
parade.
