Many people wondered if there 
was a fire Wednesday morning 
when they saw the auto fire truck 
speeding through town with two or 
three of the firemen on _ board. 
Though it was only one of Driver 
Chadwick’s occasional practice runs, 
it came nearer being a real fire than 
usual, for when they reached the en- 
gine house again and smelled smoke 
they began to investigate only to 
find that one of the firemen on the 
truck—R. J. Baker— had put his 
pipe in his pocket when the trip was 
started and the smouldering tobac- 
co had been fanned by the rush of 
wind and burned through the poc- 
ket and almost set the clothing afire.

Ground was broken last Friday 
on Manchester’s new sewerage sys- 
tem. Sewer Commissioner Oliver 
T. Roberts turned the first sod in 
breaking ground for the test well in 
the rear of the Congregational par- 
sonage, where the pumping station 
is to be constructed. The work on 
digging the trench for the sewers 
was started Tuesday morning with 
two gangs of men, one on upper 
School street, near the junction of 
Pleasant street; the other on Sum- 
mer street near Boyle’s stable. The 
work is progressing quite fast. Con- 
tractor Tomasello has the reputation 
of doings things when he once 
starts, and he will doubtless main- 
tain his reputation in Manchester.

The Manchester club rooms were 
crowded last Friday evening for the 
musical program arranged to show 
off the new piano-player purchased 
last week from M. Steinert & Sons 
Co. The company furnished the en- 
tertainment, sending along two 
singers and an operator. Mr. Huddy, 
the baritone soloist has been con- 
nected with the Boston Opera 
House, and his rich clear voice was 
certainly of unusual merit. He 
sang several operatic selections. Mr. 
Briggs, a brother of Rev. Mr. Briggs 
a former pastor here, was the other 
soloist. The Manchester Launch 
club was the special guest of the 
club for the evening. A collation 
was served by the entertainment
