The move au Alderman Desmond 
in the Board of Aldermen on Tues 
pointment of a committee to con- 
day evening requesting the ap- 
suit the officials of the Boston & 
Maine railroad with a view to bet- 
ter train service in the early and 
late parts of the day is undoubtedly 
a good one. There is an hiatus be- 
tween the times of departure of the 
late trains that is, to say the least, 
disheartening, and it is to be hoped 
that some good will come from the 
proposed conference. The matter 
of Sunday trains eastward might 
also be considered. One _ train 
early in the morning and another 
late in the evening is extremely in- 
convenient.

Republican Club Minstrels. 
City hall was filled on Tuesday 
evening with a representative high- 
class Beverly audience to witness 
the minstrel performance given by 
the Republican club in aid of the 
Beverly Hospital. The decorations 
from the Grand Army fair had been 
kept upon the walls, and were very 
Pretty... Lhe circle (sappesaredy ein 
dress suits and without blackened 
faces, presenting a pretty spectacle 
upon the stage. The jokes were 
new and some of them extremely 
funny, and the whole performance 
was carried out well. The various 
songs were well done, that of Mr. 
Odell being the most pleasing in 
the way of artistic merit, while Mr. 
Bartlett’s “Way Down East” was a 
tlose second. Mr. Morgan’s tenor 
solo, “A Touch of Humanity,’ was 
well received. Mr. Willard’s “Mov- 
ing Day” was received with great 
glee, and he was obliged to respond 
to two encores. The closing cho- 
rus, with the appearance of the 
pages and a male quartette from 
the club, was well received, and was 
most pleasing. The olio which fol- 
lowed the performance was on the 
whole interesting, the work of 
Henry Myers, the monologist, and 
little David Manuel, the four-year- 
old harmonicist, being deserving of 
the applause which was given. The 
participants in the performance 
were as follows:
