FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE 
LAFAYETTE QuARTET ENTERTAINS AT 
Baptist CHurcH, MANCHESTER. 
The seating capacity of the Baptist 
church auditorium was taxed to ac- 
commodate the audience which at- 
tended the “Guest Night” entertain- 
“ment of the Friendship Circle on 
_ Tuesday 
~saie 
evening. The program 
which was largely musical was furn- 
‘ished by the Lafayette Male Quartet 
‘of Boston, assisted by Miss Doris 
Carpenter, reader, and Mrs, A. Wach- 
-endorf Lewis, pianist. 
the bass, 
The opening number by the quartet, 
“Comrades in Arms,’ was heartily 
applauded, the singers responding 
with a patriotic air. Miss Carpenter 
followed with a reading adapted from 
a scene of J. Hartley Manner’s “Peg 
o’ My Heart.” Miss Carpenter, who 
is thoroughly trained in dramatic re- 
cital, pleased with her interpretation 
of the characters of the play, her rep- 
resentation of the charming “Peg” 
being particularly effective. 
Patch, director of the quartet, was 
encored after a pretty tenor ballad 
and sang “My Little Gray Home in 
the West.” Mrs. Lewis played the 
accompaniment. “Gay Hours,” a 
waltz, was the next offering by the 
quartet and was so well received that 
it was followed by an Irish melody by 
Charles Brown, the other 
members of the quartet humming an 
accompaniment in imitation of bag- 
pipes. “My Chloe from Tennessee,” 
a southern melody followed. 
Mrs. Lewis favored the audience 
with a Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody. 
The quartet sang “Annie Laurie” 
with pleasing effect and responded t> 
an encore’ with a negro harmony, 
“My Louisiana Rose.” Another 
humorous song followed. 
penter’s reading from “Madame But- 
terfly” was charming as well as skil- 
ful. Her portrayal of the little 
Japanese lady in manner and dialect 
was decidedly realistic. She respond- 
ed to the appeal of the audience with 
readings of two of Kipling’s poems. 
Probably the most appreciated num- 
ber by the quartet was the selection, 
Phe Indian’s Bride.” For encore 
the quartet sang “Back to Old Vir- 
ginia.” After two bass solos Mr. 
Brown, who furnished the comedy 
element in the quartet, gave a mono- 
logue which was decidedly funny and 
affected some of the audience to a 
degree bordering on hysterics. The 
quartet closed the program with SaBare 
End of a Perfect Day.” 
Following the program ice-cream 
was served by the committee in charge 
of the entertainment. The chairman 
of the committee was Mrs. Isabelle 
Miss Car-

MANCHESTER BASEBALL NOTES 
Manager Charles Fritz of the 
Manchester baseball team is scouting 
for players to fill the depleted ranks 
of his squad. Getting first class men 
to sign up early is one of the difficul- 
ties of a “semi-pro” manager’s exist- 
ence. There is plenty of volunteers 
of doubtful ability, but the high 
grade men prefer to hold out till later 
in the season when they can com- 
mand more money. The battery end 
of the team and the hot corner at 
third base, however, will be filled by 
veterans of previous seasons with 
Manchester. Harold Grover, the 
Rockport twirler who was with Man- 
chester the last couple of years, has 
signed up for the coming season, and 
Everett Perkins, who officiated at the 
receiving end of the battery last year 
is also booked to play. Frank 
O’Leary, who covered third base and 
surrounding territory for Manches- 
ter for the ‘last three seasons has 
been heard from and will be on the 
job when the season opens. It is 
early in the season to announce any- 
thing in the way of a prospective 
schedule, but Manager Fritz is nego- 
tiating with a first class team for the 
Fourth of July game and will be able 
to announce the opponent of Man- 
chester for the holiday date in the 
near future.
