NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BEVERLY FARMS. 
The suggestions offered in last 
week’s issue of the BREEZE have had 
good effect, inasmuch as the roof of 
the West street engine house, which 
was damaged by a spark from the 
recent fire, is to be repaired and newly 
shingled, Messrs. Publicover Bros. 
having been awarded the contract.

kins, is enjoying a two weeks’ respite 
from his duties, and will spend it in 
this vicinity. 
The fish weir of Capt. J. Frank 
Blaney has continued all the week to 
do an excellent business. One day

their way into the trap which met with 
a ready sale at the Boston markets. 
At the Beverly hospital Sam Sam, 
which is to be held next Thursday,

ments over which a number of ladies

aided in all the Hospital work in this 
vicinity, will have charge. Contribu- 
tions for same would be appreciated 
and may be left with Miss May Con- 
nolly.

was formerly of this village. 
Tuesday evening Frank Trowt en- 
tertained 22 of his friends at his home 
at Pride’s Crossing, the event being 
upon the anniversary of his birthday, 
also as a sort of sociable before his

departure, at a late hour, the party 
showed their appreciation by present- 
ing to him a set of silver mounted 
toilet articles, the receipt of which 
was a complete surprise. 
Messrs. Carr & Co. of the New 
York Metropolitan stables, who have

bit a large string at the Myopia horse

composed mostly of Farms’ young 
ladies and gentlemen, together with a 
number of ‘‘summer girls” and young 
men from out of town who are visiting 
here, had an outing and picnic at 
Misery island Wednesday, and also 
enjoyed a sail around the harbor and 
islands. Later in the week the same 
party occupied a cottage on the shores 
of Gravelly pond. 
Frank I. Lomasney is receiving the 
congratulations of his many friends 
upon the attainment of being the

just closed Mr. Lomasney took home 
-with him the $200 gentleman’s dia- 
mond ring, an elegant bath room mir- 
ror, a $5 gold piece and several other 
desirable articles. 
It is now thought by many that the 
fire which destroyed a large part of 
Messrs. Connollys’ plant, and came 
near burning up a part of the town as 
well, was caused by sparks from the 
dump fire at the playgrounds. If this 
be true, and it seems to be the more 
feasible explanation, it surely ought to 
serve as a pointer in the future. Es- 
pecially so if the future is to be a 
sample of the past, inasmuch as no 
one remains to watch and care for the 
fires, but they are left to die of their 
own accord for want of material. 
Dr. Hubert Holland and family, 
who have spent the greater part of 
the summer at the Harlow cottage,

above-named families, and is looked 
forward to with much pleasure. 
Messrs. Connolly Bros.’ stables and 
storehouses on the Mill Pond lot,

Members of the Park Commission 
and also of the City Council have 
been in the Farms this week, looking 
over the Haskell property, which ad- 
joins that lately purchased from the 
Watson heirs, with a view of its re- 
quirement in the near future in carry- 
ing out the plans for the playgrounds. 
Gregory P. Connolly will represent 
Beverly Farms business men on the 
ball team captained by Robt. Robert- 
son of Beverly, at the Sam-Sam in 
aid of the Beverly hospital. The 
Leverly Times, in a recent issue, in 
sizing up the team speaks of Mr. 
Connolly’s ball playing ability as fol- 
lows: ‘Greg Connolly at third base. 
needs no coaching in his position. He 
is in daily practice at the Farms, and 
the Shore residents are all buying 
discs.’’
