Here’s to a ‘‘Saner Fourth!”’ 
THe complaint has beem made in 
the past that the famous old Masco- 
nomo House property at Manchester 
could nut be improved and ‘‘kept 
up’’ because the place has been “‘tied 
up;’’ that part of the heirs were un- 
willing te do anything toward im- 
proving the property and wanted to 
sell. The property is now. in new 
hands, virtually, as a result of the 
executors’ sale Monday and John B. 
Schoeffel, husband of the ate Agnes 
Booth Schoeffel, is ostensibly the 
owner. What a grand thing for 
Manchester if Mr. Schoeffel carries 
out his stated intention of tearing 
down the house and building a sort 
of an ian, part of which couldbe kept 
open a greater part of the winter, if 
not the whole of the winter! The 
property cannot. be beat along the 
New England coast for location. It 
is situated -off the famous Singing 
Beach, tian which there is none bet- 
ter along the coast.

tices appear in The Breeze. 
Fourth of July at Manchester. 
Manchester people are taking a 
great interest in the Fourth of July 
celebration. The ‘‘horrible’’ parade 
in the morning promises to be a big 
feature of the day’s program, the 
whole of which has been arranged 
by the committee with an idea of 
having a safe and saner Fourth for 
Manchester. 
The following persons will serve 
as judges of the parade: Eric Pape, 
Selectman E. S. Knight, Charles A. 
Read, Mrs. F. P. Tenney, Miss Lena 
Jones. The judges’ stand will be 
on the common. 
Chief Marshal Fred K. Swett has 
arranged for the formation of the 
parade as follows: The horrible and 
antiques will form on Beach street, 
between the railroad crossing and 
Tappan street; floral and artistic on 
Tappan street; trades below Tappan 
street. All floats and teams are re- 
quested to be in line by 5.45 and 
their place will be assigned to them 
by the Chief Marshal or his aids. 
The line will proceed to the corner 
of Harbor and Bridge streets, before 
countermarching. 
The prizes in the parade are as fol- 
lows: horrible and antique, $10, $5 
and $3; floral and artistic, $20, $10 
and $5; industrial, $10, $5. Nearly 
all of the organizations in town have 
arranged to be represented in the 
line and many of the citizens will 
have private entries. 
After the parade at 9.30, the boys’ 
sports will be ealled on ‘the Town 
common and will be entirely for the 
pleasure of those under 16 years of 
age. The following events will be 
run off: Snake race (five boys on 
team), prizes, $1, 50c.; potato race, 
€2, $1; sack race, $1, 50c. ; : basketball 
relay (five boys on team), $1, 50e.; 
pie race, 50¢., 25e.; obstacle race, $1, 
50e. 
The outing at Singing Beach in 
the afternoon has promise of being 
a unique form of celebration. The 
whole town will be there. Upon the 
arrival of the train, due at Manches- 
ter from Boston at 1.32, line will be 
formed at the station and to the 
music of the Salem Cadet Band, all 
are to march to Singing Reach for 
the outing. There will be sports on 
the hard sand, ineluding 100-yard 
dash; half-mile run; 440-yard relay 
(four men on a team). Cups will be 
given for first and second prizes in 
these events. There will be broad 
jump, pole vaulting, high jump, one- 
fourth-mile swim. Gold, silver and 
bronze medals will be given -as 
prizes in these events; quoit pitch- 
ing and grotesque or fancy bathing 
costume. exhibition will bring the 
sports to-a- close. In these last two 
events, prizes of $3, $2, and $1 will : 
be awarded. 
The life-saving exhibition by Capel 
King and his men of the Govern-— 
ment Life-Saving station at Dol- 
liver’s Neck, Cape Ann, will be a 
unique feature. 
bring the gun carriage, 
buoy, life raft and full equipment of 
his station and give a complete ex-— 
hibition of the work. This ought to. 
prove especially interesting. to the 
Westerners among our 
colony, as most of them, probably, | 
-have never seen life-saving crews ag 
work. 
The committee has concenteataa | 
its efforts to make the harbor illum- © 
ination in the-evening a grand suc. 
cess. It has arranged to encirele the 
basin within the drawbridge. The 
flotila of motor and 
promises to be a large one. 
Seldom, if ever, have more com- 
pleted arrangements been made for” 
a gala day. Every business man in ~ 
town should endeavor to represent 
his busness or trade n the exhibi- =f 
tion and every one with a drop of 
patriotic blood in his veins should | 
participate in the parade. We have 
talked a saner Fourth every year; y 
we have it this year. It is up to Vs
