ANNUAL OUTING OF YE ELDER BRETHREN 
MANCHESTER’S 
The 29th annual reunion of the Elder 
Brethren was held Wednesday at Tuck’s 
Point, Manchester, and in many ways 
was one of the most enjoyable in the 
history of this unique organization. 
There were 111 of the “‘boys’’ present, 
besides a dozen or more others, making 
a total gathering of about 120. 
To the stranger who attends these 
gatherings for the first time the occasion 
proves one of great pleasure, if not sur- 
prise, for the Elder Brethern holds a 
place all by itself, and it is doubtful if: 
there is another similar: organization, 
founded and held together on the prin- 
ciple of fellowship, in the whole country. 
Casting aside their half century or more 
of years these boys of fifty to ninety years 
ago gather once a year, and spend a few 
hours chatting with each other, recalling 
things of years ago, and in listening to 
UNIQUE ORGANIZATION. 
speakers called upon promiscuously from 
the gathering. 
Steaming bowls of clam and fish 
chowder, which can be enjoyed nowhere 
as at the sea shore, make an enticing 
feast and this always forms the principle 
part of the dinner. This year as in the 
past this partlof the outing was thoroughly 
enjoyed. The gathering sat down at one 
o'clock and after the tables had been 
cleared they gathered within the chowder 
house again, for the annual business 
meeting and to hear the speakers. On a 
whole the speakers were more _ interest- 
ing this year than in many years past. 
Delucena L. Bingham, Manchester’s 
revered librarian, started things in the 
right direction when he gave a talk on his 
optimistic views of life, drawn from _ his 
92 years observation.

Dead Fish Bother Bathers. 
‘Thousands of fish have come dshore 
on the beaches at Manchester, Magnolia 
and Beverly Farms the past fortnight, and 
have been a matter of much discomfort to 
the bathers who go to these beaches fora 
daily plunge. So obnoxious have they 
been at some of the favorable bathing 
spots that men have been kept busy after 
each tide clearing away the fish. 
Fishermen along the shore say the 
trouble is ali over the greed of the silver 
hake. These fish live upon the little 
““alleys’’ that may be found along here 
in large schools at .this time of year. 
The smaller fish retreat to shallow waters 
and the larger ones chase them in and 
become stranded, so to speak.
