FIRST MEETING 
[Continued from Page 1, 3d Col.) 
This being the first meeting the 
officers for the year were elected, or 
rather, the old board was re-elected 
as follows: Richard L. Cheever, pres- 
ident ; Hollis L. Roberts, vice presi- 
dent ; Alfred S. Jewett, secretary, and 
O. T. Roberts, treasurer. The treas- 
urer reported a balance of $4.16 from 
last year, and that he had received $70 
for membership tickets thus far this 
ear. 
Following the short business ses- 
sion the first number on the evening’s 
program was announced by Hollis L. 
Roberts, chairman. Miss Edith L. 
Wheaton played a very pretty piano 
selection, Bohm’s “ Brise printiniere, ” 
and as an encore Godard's Danse 
d’Etoiles.”’ 
A vocal solo, ‘‘ The soldier’s dream ’ 
by Mrs. J. W. Lee was very much 
enjoyed. 
The feature of the evening was the 
informal talk by Mr. Austin Whitcomb 
of Beverly, on his recent trip to Yel- 
lowstone Park. 
“It has been my good fortune to 
travel almost over the entire country 
several times” he said, after some in- 
troductory remarks as to how he hap- 
pened to be speaking in Manchester. 
‘‘And there is nothing like Yellow- 
stone Park, if one likes to get out 
among life, in the mountains, lakes 
and plains. It is a grand education.” 
The climax of a visit to Yellow- 
stone, he said, was the Grand Canyon. 
He described it as being the most im- 
pressive thing he had looked upon. It 
brings an impression of the massive- 
ness of the earth, and makes one 
realize after all there is a God. It 
gives a grand finish to the Park. 
An intermission of 15 minutes was 
taken following Mr. Whitcomb’s talk. 
After which Mrs. J. W. Lee sang an- 
other selection ‘‘ The garden of sleep,” 
by De Lara. 
Miss Lila Goldsmith gave some se- 
lections from her scrap book which 
were very much enjoyed. 
The closing number on the program 
was a cornet solo by Byron Bullock, 
“The palms,” and as an encore he 
played ‘Would you care,” by Harris. 
The committee in charge of the 
next meeting will be Rev. C. L. Lin- 
coln, F. J. Merrill, D. T. Beaton; 
Misses Amy Haskell, Larah Fish and 
Gertrude B. Goldsmith.

The exhibition of the “ Hawes 
family album” by “Mrs. Elmira 
Pease” (Mrs. Charlotte Brown) 
proved a pleasing feature of the even- 
ing, the audience being kept in a con- 
stant roar of laughter as the various 
characters were introduced. 
The various booths were well pat- 
ronized and numerous articles were 
auctioned off from the stage by E. P.

hammer. Those in charge of the
