Mrs. Whitehouse and their son, Mere- 
dith, were driving down Craft’s hill, in 
the Manchester Cove woods, in their 
large Winton touring car, the rear axle 
of the machine broke and the heavy 
body of the car crashed along the 
street for a dozen yards before the 
chauffeur brought it toa stop. For- 
tunately nobody was hurt, more than 
a severe shaking-up. It took Tinker 
Bros.’ garage men almost three hours 
to repair the machine.

starts for Dartmouth college next 
week, gave him a surprise party Thurs- 
day evening at the home of Miss 
Mary Rust on School street. Mr. 
Floyd was to occupy one of the chairs 
in a game of whist at Miss Rust’s 
house in the evening, but when he 
called he found the room full of young 
people, ten boys andten girls. Danc- 
ing proved a very pleasant diversion 
for the evening, music being furnished 
by Miss Annie Crombie on the graph-

evening was the presentation of a 
handsome signet ring to Harry, with 
his initials ‘HH. R. F.”’ engraved upon

Bros. for many years, will be pleased 
to learn of his steadily improving con-

he was operated upon at once. His 
condition was considered quite serious 
at first, but it is greatly improved 
now.
