MANCHESTER SECTION 
The Friendship circle are planning 
for this winter a course of lectures 
besides their social evenings. 
Mr. and Mrs. Benj. L. Allen start- 
ed last Saturday for their annual va- 
cation stay at Conomo Point, Essex. 
They will be away three weeks, 
A Hallowe’en party will be held in 
the ‘Town hall the last of the month 
under the management of the same 
young people that gave it last year, 
and it will be a fancy costume party 
as last year, too. 
Bates Street and Stag 
Walt Bell’s, Central Sq. 
Deputy W. B. Publicover and staff 
of Beverly Farms will install the off-

An automobile owned by Wm. Spry 
collided with two trees on Union 
street Wednesday afternoon about 
dark. It first struck a tree at the en- 
trance to Chapel lane, then went on- 
Shirts at 
* 
to the sidewalk and _ collided with 
another tree at Dr. Blaisdell’s en- 
trance. No one was injured. 
Silk Petticoats at FE. A. Leth: 
bridge’s. 
Evervbody seems to have caught 
the feyer—smelting. Morning, noon 
and 1ight the wharves are lined with 
would-be fishers, and with many a 
favorite time is between two and 
three o’clock in the morning and day- 
light. Some big catches are reported; 
real catches, too,—no fish stories. 
Last Saturday night Frank Rowe 
was high liner with 156 fish. Charlie 
Williams and Alex. Robertson were 
close seconds, each with considerable 
over 100. ‘The Smothers boys—Ar- 
thur and Everett—pulled in nearly a 
bushel basket of them. And so it 
goes. Everybody has the fever. Why, 
yesterday Chairman Meldrum of the 
Selectmen and former Selectman 
Henry T. Bingham passed by the 
Breeze office with hook and _ line. 
Seriously, the smelt fishing was never 
so successful; there was never so 
many fish caught as this autumn and 
never so many participating in the 
sport.

Prerry WEDDING AT MANCHESTER 
A pretty and informal wedding 
took place Monday at the Baptist 
church, Manchester, when Francis 
May of Cleveland, O., and Miss Maud 
Edith Ruck of Cattenham, Eng., 
were united by Rev. A. G. Warner, 
pastor, at 3.45 p.m. ‘The immediate 
relatives and a few intimate frinds 
were present. The bride was given 
in marriage by her friend, James 
Salter, her younger sister being 
bridesmaid. ‘The “Lohengtin’” wed- 
ding march was played on the organ 
by G. Allyn Brown as a processional, 
and Mendelssohn’s wedding march 
was used. A quartet, composed of 
Mrs. Alice Lee, Mrs. A. G. Warner, 
Mrs, Charlotte Brown and Donald 
Height, sang. A brief reception fol- 
lowed the ceremony. Miss Ruck ar- 
rived only last Wednesday from Eng- 
land, where she has been a teacher in 
the public schools. Mr. and Mrs. 
May have gone to Cleveland, which 
will be their future home. 
Younc Man INjJuRED IN MANCHES- 
TER DIES 
After being in a  semi-conscious 
condition at the Beverly hospital for 
nearly a week Augustus Whitewood, 
20, single, died last Sunday. On the 
Monday previous he was thrown from 
a two wheel sulky in which he was 
driving from Beverly Farms _ to 
Manchester, and was seriously injur- 
ed. When the horse swerved into a 
telephone pole near the D. T. Beaton 
house on Bridge street, Whitewood 
was thrown on the hard roadway. 
His skull was fractured and he was 
injured internally. He was em- 
ployed by the W. B, Millers of Akron, 
O., who summer at Beverly Farms. 
He had been in this country about 
three months, and had a_ brother, 
Robert, employed as coachman by the 
Millers. 
An important meeting of the Man- 
chester baseball association will be 
held next Thursday evening, Oct. 16, 
at 8 o’clock, at Lee’s hall. All inter- 
ested in baseball, whether members 
of the association or not, are invitedé Smith, 
Wheaton, P. M. 
to be present. 
Arthur Clark, who has been butler 
at the W, B. Walkers, has just taken 
a similar position with the Larz An- 
dersons in Brookline. 
President O. T. Roberts and ‘Treas- 
urer Harry Purington of the Man- 
chester Trust Co., have been attend- 
ing most of the functions in connect- 
ion with the Bankers’ convention in 
Boston all the past week. 
Despite the lateness of the season 
there are some very beautiful flower 
gardens about Manchester, notably 
-that at Reed’s restaurant, which Mr. 
J. S. Reed has nurtured all summer. 
This garden with its beautiful com- 
binations of colors, is attracting much 
attention. The snap dragons, and 
sweet elyssum, set off with the red 
salvias and wonderfully formed 
dahlias give the garden a combina- 
tion of colors that will not be found 
at any private estate on the entire 
shore, we venture to say. 
The two dredgers at work in Man- 
chester harbor are making great pro- 
gress in digging out the mud _ flats.. 
The outer dredger run into a bank of 
sand gravel, opposite Norton’s Point. 
In order to handle this material it is 
necessary for the other dredger to 
partly fill a barge with soft mud as 
a foundation for the fine gravel in 
the scow. Otherwise the sand would 
filter through before it had reached . 
the outer bay ready for dumping. It 
is a pity this gravel cannot be dump- 
ed onto the park nearby as filling, 
instead of the town buying just this 
sort of material for that purpose.
