FAIR AT FARMS, 
(Continued from Page 1.) 
nished throughout the week, while 
some of the other interesting features 
included a baby show on Wednesday 
afternoon, a children’s sunlight party 
Thursday afternoon and a grand ball 
Thursday evening. 
No little interest centred in the 
baby show on Wednesday afternoon, 
there being about a score of infants 
entered from this section of the city. 
The judges — Mrs. Bates of Danvers, 
Mrs. Lowand Mrs. Burnham of Essex 
— awarded the prizes as follows: For 
youngest infant, Daisy Isabelle, four- 
months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Felix Nailor ; for prettiest, under one 
year, Alma Helene, daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Alfred Gallagher; and for 
the prettiest, under two years, Doro- 
thy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis 
Williams. 
One of the interesting features of 
the opening program on Tuesday 
evening was the drama ‘‘ Awkward 
Squad,” representing a recruiting sta- 
tion. W.B. Publicover, Howard Pres- 
ton, Samuel Cohoon and George 
Wood composed the role, with Mrs. 
Larcom carrying off the Salvation 
Army lassie to perfection. The read- 
ings by William Carr and the songs 
by Miss Louise McKeone and Miss 
Marjorie Cohoon were well received. 
Wednesday was W.R.C. Day, anda 
number of visitors from out of town 
was present. A supper was served in 
G.A.R. hall from 5 to 7.30 o’clock, 
which was well patronized. In the 
evening there was a daisy drill by a 
number of girls, which proved a pretty 
feature, and singing by Miss Mollie 
Quirk and readings by Mrs. J. H. 
Linehan. 
The children’s sunlight party and 
dance on Thursday afternoon attracted 
many of the younger set, while the 
grand ball in the evening proved a 
most successful close of the fair. 
The various tables and booths, laden 
with fancy and useful articles when 
the fair was opened, were well patron- 
ized and a good amount was realized. 
Alice L. Preston was chairman of the 
relief committee having the fair in 
charge and L. J. Holmes was treas- 
urer. 
The result of the guessing for the 
various prizes offered follows : 
Box soap, Wm. R. Brooks guessed 
correct number of beans in bottle, 
453; mystery cake, Mrs. Lewis Wil- 
liams; naming doll, Guy Williams ;

BEVERLY. 
“This is the forest primeval and under the shade of its branches,” 
Beverly greets, once more, her sons and her daughters from exile. 
Thither returning they come from the distant isles of the Tropics 
Back from the Orient steaming to rest in her motherly bosom 
“This is the forest primeval,” the ancient pines and the oak trees, 
That for an hundred years have gazed on the blue of the ocean, 
Stand with their arms outstretched, to beckon the wanderer homeward, 
Tossing their plum-ed heads in welcoming joy to the stranger. 
Which shall be Beverly’s pride ? 
Shall it be the blue of the ocean 
Lapping the restless feet of her generations un-numbered ? 
Or shall her offspring, recalling the haunts and the scenes of their childhood 
Speak of her woodland joys, her pines and her hemlocks sweet scented? 
Ever, they must unite from the Bridge to the Manchester Shore Line 
Songs of the wave and the pine, mingled in sweetest confusion. 
Tiniest, newest of cities, Beverly loved of thy children, 
Oldest and bravest of townships, home is thy synonym ever 
Far, though our feet may have wandered, led by ambition or mammon 
Still, have our hearts never wandered strong in their faith and allegiance. 
Ever, thy sunrise of glory on ocean, on lake and on river, 
Shrined in their inmost hearts inspires the sons of thy rearing; 
While recollections of homelife, of mother and brother and sister, 
Strong as a magnet, shall draw the feet of thy recreant daughters. 
God of our Fathers, who builded better by far than they knew of 
Hope of the Sturdy Pilgrim who nurtured the life of a nation; 
Still may thy deep inspiration, into the hearts of thy people 
Poured as a flood of light, illumine the pathway before them; 
Grant that the sons and the daughters, gathered afar for her feast day, 
Live to old Beverly’s pride, upholding her name with the highest; 
Grant that the dear Town Mother never may blush for the children, 
Pray they may never dishonor, but add to her glory their portion.

More Buildings for Beverly. 
Beverly’s building boom is far from 
being over, it appears, for plans are 
now being made for a building near 
the United Shoe Machinery Com- 
pany’s plant, on Rantoul street, and 
another on Beckford street. Both 
buildings will be for lodging house 
purposes, and George P. Carver, who 
was the engineer for the new plant, 
has plans in hand for both. 
One of the buildings is to be of two 
stories, 18 rooms on a floor, with the 
ground plan 48x98 feet. The founda- 
tions will probably be of concrete. 
The plans for the other building will 
call for 20 rooms. 
BEVERLY FARMS. 
Frank Preston, Irvin and Richard 
Davis started last Saturday with Man- 
chester and Gloucester friends for a 
two weeks’ outing at Mount Tom, and 
they took in some of the manceuvres 
at Westfield, the first of the week. 
The “ Ramblers” are to have their 
annual social and dance in Neighbor’s 
hall on August 4. 
Miss Elsie Preston is entertaining 
Miss Agnes Ferguson of Topsfield. 
John C. Mountain, who has been 
visiting his sister, Mrs. J. M. Publico- 
ver, and family on High street, started 
for his home in Alberton, P.E.L., 
Wednesday. 
— KATE RESTIEAUX, 
A much-needed improvement and 
one which will be appreciated by the 
general public is the shaping up and ° 
macadamizing of Haskell street from 
Hart to Everett street, which work 
was started last Monday by Messrs. 
Connolly Bros. Thisis a much trav- 
eled thoroughfare, and not only has it 
the local wear, but it is the direct 
route for a large amount of travel to 
Wenham and Hamilton. 
James Hallisey, foreman for Burn- 
ham, the Essex mason, formerly the 
captain of the crack Essex hand tub, 
had a narrow escape from serious acci- 
dent one day this week while working 
at the McKee auto house. About 
2,000 feet of hard pine boards fell over 
him, but in such a manner as to cause 
no serious injury or break any bones. 
It was a narrow escape, indeed. 
Missions at Churches, 
The Redemptorist Fathers of Rox- 
bury have been giving a mission all 
this week at St. Margaret’s church, 
Beverly Farms, and at the Sacred 
Heart church, Manchester. The 
mission opened last Sunday at 10.30 
Mass, with a large attendance, which 
has been kept up during the week. 
The early mass at 5.15 has been 
crowded every morning, and the seat- 
ing capacity of the churches was far 
too small to accommodate the Tues- 
day evening attendance. Fr. Corrat 
was in charge of the Beverly Farms 
services and Fr. Gallagher of the 
Manchester services. Interesting ser- 
mons are promised for the closing 
meetings tomorrow evening. The 
services will begin at 7.45.
