It was not in respect to our Ad. 
man that the band struck up ‘‘ Hail 
to the Chief’’ at the Myopia Horse 
show last Monday, but to our re- 
spected Neighbor, W.H.T. Both 
gentlemen came into the arena at the 
same time, in opposite corners of 
the field, one by motor, the other 
driving a livery horse and wagon. 
If there is any one thing Manches- 
ter people in general should feel 
proud of it is that they live in a 
town that ean afford to funish its 
citizens and their friends such a 
series of band concerts as we have 
had this summer. These band con- 
certs have been the means of attract- 
ing hundreds of people to the town 
every concert night, and it has 
served to draw out the townspeople 
in large numbers. Last night there 
were fully 2000 people in the square, 
despite the cool evening and _ the 
threatening appearance of the 
weather. The Salem Cadet Band, 
under the leadership of Jean Missud, 
—a band than which there is none 
better—has furnished excellent mu- 
sic all summer and last night’s con- 
cert was none the less true. 
We are pleased to say that Mr.

home on Elm street. Mr. Allen is 
not in the best of health, though he 
is able to be about as usual and to 
meet his friends. Mrs. Allen was 84 
a week ago last Sunday.
