NORTH:SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY 
Thousands of people from Beverly 
and vicinity were attracted to City 
hall this week to see the extraordinary 
display which the Ballou club made at 
its annual fair. The committee hit 
upon a happy scheme, to have a 
‘¢ Mawsim,” that is, a Moorish Bazaar 
with its attendant attractions. City 
hall was transformed into Arab land, 
with palm trees waving, miniature pa- 
godas, a mammoth Moorish temple, 
and innumerable other attractions, all 
encrowned with hundreds of blinking 
electric lights. The scene was an en- 
chanting one and (as one of the at- 
tractions) as the hall was for a mo- 
ment plunged into darkness and then 
suddenly burst into light the applause 
was great and encoring. Mayor Wal- 
lis opened the festival Monday even- 
ing and made a well-received address, 
congratulating the club on its energy 
and bespeaking for it a goodly share 
of success. The Beverly Cadet band 
rendered a_ pleasing concert pro- 
gramme. The entertainment of Tues- 
day evening was a lantern drill which 
was excellently rendered. Wednesday 
afternoon a baby show was the at- .. 
traction and an operetta entertained 
on Wednesday evening. The receipts 
will be large undoubtedly, as the 
weather man was gracious and the at- 
tendance away beyond expectations.

A Sad Accident 
The many friends of Ernest G. 
Gray, son of William W. Gray of 
E]liott street, were pained to learn of 
the unfortunate accident which caused 
his death on Sunday afternoon. It 
seems that Gray and one John Larivee 
of Roundy street, owned a cottage at 
Beck’s pond in Hamilton, and went 
thither to spend Sunday. In order 
to reach their destination it was nec- 
essary to cross the surface of Beck's 
pond, and not finding some friends at 
the cottage whom they expected to 
see, the two started back over the 
pond. When about half way over the 
thin ice broke, precipitating both into 
the water., Gray went in under the 
ice, while Larivee clung onto the frail 
barrier until Col. Wm. D. Sohier hear- 
ing his cry for help, came to his assis- 
tance and rescued him, Gray never 
coming into view after he first went 
down. Chief Whipper of Hamilton 
organized a searching party and after 
dragging, the body was found by 
Clarence Butman and. George Dodge. 
Medical Examiner George G. Bailey 
of Ipswich viewed the body and it was 
brought to his home late in the even- 
ing. The funeral was held at his 
home Wednesday and was largely at- 
tended. by his friends and former 
schoolmates.
