NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY FARMS 
George Chipchase, superintendent 
of the Moore stables, came on from 
New York the first of the week and 
has been busy making preparations 
for an early opening. 
ay MitIStr Lory -tallOnSs eat ala. Ay 
hall at 6 o’clock this evening is the 
official notice received by each 
member of Preston post and associ- 
ates, and no doubt this will receivea 
hearty response as the menu is to be 
a chowder a la Capt. Blaney, with all 
the “fixins,” after which adjourn- 
ment will be made to the upper hall 
and the second game in the “pitch”’ 
tournament will be played. 
Inprovements and alterations are 
shortly to be made on the farm cottage 
on Hale street, owned by Col. Gordon 
Dexter, and occupied by John Bolam. 
The many friends of Dea. Edwin 
Pride are much pleased to see him 
about again after a severe illness. 
Dea Pride for the past week has been 
able to get out of doors during the 
middle of the day, and has inproved to 
such an extent that he went to Win- 
ter hill, Somerville, Thursday, to recu- 
perate, being a guest there, of his son 
Edwin L. Pride. 
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Whalen are 
receiving the sympathy of the commu- 
nity in the loss of their 14 month’s old 
daughter, Mary Margaret, who passed 
away quite unexpectedly Monday. 
Interment was made in Salem Tuesday 
afternoon. 
It is to be regreted there is not 
more enterprize at the Farms for build- 
ing houses. The growth of the place 
is certainly checked as there are abso- 
lutely no tenements for a new comer to 
occupy. This time of the year sees 
many people here looking for houses 
and in every case they have to go away. 
We have no doubt the population of 
the Farms is a 100 or more less than 
it would be if there were houses here 
roulet: 
The several good attractions at the 
Salem theatre this weekhave attract- 
ed many little theatre parties from 
here. 
The good nature of Farms people 
has been severely tested the past week 
because of the wretched condition of 
the sidewalk construction being such 
that one usually sinks in the mud till 
he strikes the frozen earth underneath. 
Report has it that there is soon 
to start up in Neighbor’s hall block a 
combination provision and fish store 
which Messrs. William Bros. of Lynn 
are interested in and they will in all 
probability manage the fish depart- 
ment, while Thos. F. Wheelan will 
have charge of the meats, etc, 
We are pleased to report an inprove- 
ment in the condition of Harvey M. 
Hodgkins who was operated upon at 
the Beverly hospital last Friday. 
John Bailey was sent to the Bridge- 
water Criminal Insane Hospital by 
Judge Lawton in the Superior Crim- 
inal court at East Cambridge Monday. 
It will be remembered that Bailey de- 
serted his family on Pickett’s court 
for the second time about Feb. 1, and 
a few days later set fire to a house at 
Lexington to warm himself. 
A full house greeted the Hon. 
David I. Robinson at the Baptist 
church, Thursday evening, to hear the 
popular and exceedingly interesting 
lecture entitled “My trip abroad” 
which was added to by an excellent 
assortment of stereopticon views, 
This lecture concludes the series 
which has been given at intervals 
through the winter under the auspices 
of the young men connected with the 
church, and to whom much credit is 
due for the entertaining as well as in- 
structive hours which has certainly 
been afforded those who have at- 
tended the course. A large delega- 
tion of members of Preston post and 
associates, in response to the kind in- 
vitation of Rev. Clarence Strong Pond, 
attended the lecture. 
Whist at the Farms 
The fourth night of the series of 
the public card tournament, held under 
the management of the Foresters and 
the K. of C., took place in Marshall’s 
hall on Wednesday evening, and the 
popularity of these gatherings was 
attested by the unusually large num- 
ber present, which was in excess of 
any held previously. The main hall 
was devoted entirely to those who 
desired to play whist, and every avail- 
able space was utilized, while in the 
lower hall was an overflow gathering 
of some 50 or 60 persons who played 
“Forty-fives.” As on the previous 
evenings, excellent prizes were offered, 
and this, no doubt, helped to add to 
the interest manifested from start to 
finish. The winners were as follows: 
Whist—-Ladies, Mrs Frank Gaud- 
reau, half a dozen hand-made Mexican 
doilies; Mrs. Alfred Williams, half a 
dozen fancy bread and butter plates. 
The consolation went to Miss Kathe- 
rine Donovan, a primping glass. Gen- 
tlemen, Wm. Moriarty, fancy shaving 
mug and brush; Augustus Larcom, 
shaving mug and brush. Consolation, 
Frank I. Lomasney, a shaving glass. 
Forty-fives—William O’Hearn and 
Michael O’Connor, who played as 
partners, were the winners and each 
received a fancy shaving mug and 
brush. 
The fifth of the series will be next 
Wednesday evening. 
Arrangements are being made by 
the committee to have on some even- 
ing during the week after Easter a 
grand entertainment and ball in 
Neighbor’s hall, the proceeds of which 
are to be devoted to a special church 
purpose. 
Summer Colony at Misery ? 
There is now a chance for a sum- 
mer colony to spring up at Misery 
Island. The trustees for the bond 
holders have had plans made, and the 
entire area bordering on the water, 
making a complete circuit of the 
island, turned into good sized house 
lots, some 51 in number. It is very 
likely that they will shortly be put 
on the market. The plan also call 
for a circuit of the island by an avenue 
with numerous cross avenues. The 
center portion of the land as yet has 
not been laid out into house lots, but 
later could be utilized for parks, 
golf links, and any other purposes 
that may be deemed desirable. It is 
understood that the price for the 
house lots is very reasonable when 
compared with the high price usually 
demanded for all North Shore 
property. 
Literary Society Ball 
The St. Peter’s Literary society 
will hold a ball in City hall, Wednes- 
day evening, April 25. Whitaker’s 
orchestra of ten pieces has been en- 
gaged to furnish music. There will 
be a concert from 8 to 9, followed by 
dancing from 9 to 1. The following 
ladies will matronize the affair: Mrs. ° 
Wm. Stopford, Mrs. E. V.S. Huiginn, 
Mrs. Harrison Eaton, Mrs Wilbur 
B. Publicover, and Mrs. Edward L. 
Wallis, while Mrs. E. Freeman Cook, 
Mrs. Edw. W. Rogers, Mrs. David T. 
Hanners, Mrs. Arthur C. Lord, Mrs. 
John H. Moore, Herbert L. Goodwin, 
and Mrs. James Butterworth will be 
the patronesses. The affair gives 
promise of being quite the event of 
the season. 
Real Estate 
Abbie F. Marshall, et al., have con- 
veyed to Catherine J. Wedvail land at 
Beverly Farms, 50x108 feet, and John 
H. Woodbury, guardian of Marshall 
Woodbury, conveys to the same party 
an eighth interest in said land. It is 
understood the land is a part of the 
so-called Trowt field through which, a 
short time ago, a street (Elliott street), 
was built, and house lots set out on 
either side. The land sold is a corner 
lot opposite the Leahy estate and is 
valuable for either a residence or a 
business block. 
Breeze Subscription $1.00.
