BEVERLY FARMS 
The building of the dam and the 
flooding of the area of the Beverly 
Farms playground and the adjacent 
property has caused considerable 
trouble and objections from certain 
parties who are abuttors. One resi- 
dent claims that his hen house and 
other property are flooded, which has 
caused him considerable injury, and 
in consequence of which one day this 
week took the initiative by going 
to the dam and taking up the boards, 
thereby allowing all the water to run 
off. He now threatens trouble to the 
party or parties who dare to put the 
dam back. As the situation is now 
there is no water at the play ground 
and if the present state of affairs re- 
main, the young people of the Farms 
will be without a skating park, a fact 
to be regretted, that is, if one has any 
sympathy for the young people’s en- 
joyment, or if one can pause and just 
think that they too were young once ; 
and to think also that one of the 
strongest arguments used at the time 
of purchase, that this particular prop- 
erty would be an excellent skating 
pond. Let it be hoped that those 
who are in authority will get together 
and devise a scheme whereby the 
objections can be overcome, and give 
to the young people of the Farms 
some little use of the property that 
has been purchased for them; As it 
is now, the place is too wet to use in 
the summer and much too wet to use 
in winter. 
The following lines were written 
by the Poet of Pride’s, “‘ M. C.”’, who 
was an admirer of the Land of Clover, 
R. C. Hooper’s famous horse, killed 
last year by an automobile. 
THE FOUL DEATH OF “LAND OF 
CLOVER” 
Let sportsmen cheer and rave and ‘sing 
And sound the praise of “Forest King,” 
But I with grief and deep remorse 
Will write of Mr. Hooper’s horse. 
If you jog along the Gloucester road, 
Not far from Mr. Head’s abode, 
You can see the spot where “Landy” died,— 
The rider’s joy and owner’s pride. 
The rider wept like any child 
As he gazed at “Landy” meek and mild, 
While the owner said as the tears did run 
“Ah! many a hard fought race he won. 
My curse attend the automobile, 
That puffing monster of wood and steel 
That.came behind and struck a blow, 
Which laid poor “Land of Clover’ low. 
Never again can this gallant steed 
Display his pluck, his power and speed, 
But fence or trench he’ll jump no more; 
Poor “Land of Clover’s days are o’er. 
Many atime I admired the pair 
As they jogged together free from care, 
But now I miss his gentle strides 
Along the winding road of Pride’s.
