Do It Now! 
If the selectmen want to render the 
town of Manchester what would be 
appreciated as. distinguished service 
by the parents who have children in 
the G. A. Priest school, they will for- 
bid the use by autos of Union street 
from Beach to Washington, the entire 
length of Norrh street, and Washing- 
ton from Summer to Union street. 
This would not materially interfere 
with automobile travel, and it will 
eliminate to a large degree the liability 
of accident on these narrow streets 
with several hundred children going 
to school. 
WHISPERINGS. 
“Eaglehead,” that commanding 
piece of headland running out into 
the ocean at the easterly end of 
Singing Beach in. Manchester, and 
which has so often served as a sub- 
ject for the artist and photographer, 
{ find, is being claimed by others,— 
foreigners to our beloved North 
Shore,—who would steal this justly 
famous bit of coast scenery, with 
the waves dashing high upon its 
forehead, and almost kissing its 
crown with their white spray. A 
short while ago I saw the view in 
a little booklet advertising a Maine 
hotel, and Sunday while -perusing 
one of my Boston exchanges I saw 
the view given quite a prominent 
location on one of its pages as “A 
surf scene from Merriconeag House, 
South Harpswell, Maine,” while

Hubbard Withdraws from Contest for 
Senatorship. 
The big political surprise of the 
day is the withdrawal from the con- 
test for the Republican nomination 
for Stat senator from the third Essex 
district of Rep. Augustus Hubbard of 
Gloucester. 
The announcement was made yes- 
terday by Mr. Hubbard, and is final. 
This leaves the field clear for James 
F. Shaw, Manchester’s prospective 
candidate. 
«After looking over the whole situ- 
ation,’ says the Gloucester Times, in 
which Mr. Hubbard made his an- 
Shaw in it Alone Now. 
nouncement, “Mr. Hubbard has de- 
cided that he cannot win without 
launching into an expensive campaign 
and this he very candidly states he 
simply cannot afford. He feels, leav- 
ing all other reasons aside, that his 
business needs his attention.”’ 
This action on the part of Mr. Hub- 
bard comes as a great surprise to his 
supporters in Manchester, where even 
his closest friend knew nothing of his 
move until it had been made. 
It now looks as if the Manchester 
candidate had a clear walk-over. 
Monday, in looking over one of my 
summer resort exchanges, I was 
struck by seeing this same charm- 
ingly, attractive view printed in 
colors on the front page of a sou- 
venir: edition, taking up almost half 
a page space. 
“Seven cities claimed poor Homer dead.” 
Let us, alone, claim thee, Oh ‘‘Haglehead!”’ 
New Club Met. 
The first meeting of the Manches- 
ter club since its organization was held 
last evening at the office of Geo. E. 
Willmonton, and a constitution and 
by-laws accepted. It has been de- 
cided that the resident membership 
of the club shall be limited to 75 
members, and the non-resident mem- 
bership shall be unlimited. Meetings 
are to be held on the first and third 
Fridays of each month. Frank G. 
Cheever was elected auditor. The 
quarters in new Blaisdell block, it is 
expected, will be ready next month. 
Mr. Sawyer in the Fight. 
Mayor Joseph A. Wallis of Beverly 
heads a long list of endorsers to a pa- 
per favoring the candidacy for nomi- 
nation of County Commissioner E. C. 
Sawyer. The endorsement, out yes- 
terday, is a representative one, and 
besides the Mayor’s name there are 
the names of Beverly’s four ex-may- 
ors. Mr. Sawyer intends to put up 
an interesting fight for re-election. 
Hotels Close. 
The Masconomo house, in Manches- 
ter, will be the first of the hotels to 
close this year. Manager Stimpson 
has decided to close next Tuesday or 
Wednesday. The, Aborn, Hesperus 
and New Magnolia, at Magnolia, will - 
close two weeks from today, the 16th, 
and the Oceanside the 21st..
