In the Water for Two Years. 
_ Floating in a quart flask on the waters 
off Boardman’s Point, at West Man- 
chester, Capt. Reuben Grush caretaker 
at the ‘I’. Dennie Boardman estate found 
a note penned nearly two years ago. 
The note had been in the water so long 
that the salt water had worked its way 
through the cork and much of the note 
is illegible. — 
‘The note is written in ink and at the 
top is the name of Capt. Alexander 
Hamilton, U. S. A., with an address 
given at 16 West 37th street, New York 
city. 
The words Glasgow, Scotland, and 
the date Aug. 27, 1906, can be made out. 
At the bottom are the signatures of Mrs. 
Hamilton and Miss Hamilton. The 
bottle was probably dropped off some 
ocean liner and came safely ashore on 
the Massachusettes shore nearly two years 
after it was thrown overboard. 
Original New England Food Fair. 
Musically, the New England. Food 
Fair of 1908 will surpass anything ever 
before attempted, for the management 
has secured a genuine novelty, the 
famous Bande De Policia, the national 
band of Mexico. ‘This year the man- 
agement has secured ‘‘ The Greatest 
Animal Show on Earth,’’? Frank C. 
Bostock, ““ The Animal King ’’ and his 
trained wild animals and arena which he 
will bring here direct from Earl’s Court, 
London. Supplementing last year’s 
Passion Play in Paul Revere hall will this 
year be, quite appropriately, the colored 
motion pictures of ‘“Paul Revere’s Ride’ 
which will then be shown forthe first time 
in America. Food Fairs have been giv- 
en at Mechanics Building since 1891 and 
they have been of all kinds and various 
degrees of success, but from a glance at 
the program for next October who shall 
deny that the New England Food Fair 
and House Furnishing Exposition for 
1908 at Mechanics Building—the_ orig- 
inal New England Food Fair—shall be 
even ‘ Better than Last Year ’’--which 
is another way of saying ‘“A_ world- 
beater.’ 
Sousa Visits Coliseum. 
John Phillip Sousa, the world’s most 
famous band master, who with his fam- 
ous band of 65 pieces, will be one of the 
leading musical features of the 7th An- 
nual Original Boston Food Fair, is as 
particular about the acoustics of the 
building in which his musicians play as 
he is in regard to the prefection and care 
of their instruments. This explains 
why he left his pleasant summer home 
to visit Boston Jast week purposely to 
inspect the Park Square Coliseum and to 
determine what, if any, steps should be 
taken to make its acoustics perfect. The 
result of the trip was Sousa’s_ enthusias- 
tic report that The Coliseum’s acoustic

properties were ideal and that nothing 
whatever need be done. In respect to 
bands, musicians, leaders, vocal soloists, 
and music, the Boston Food Fair, as a 
musical event, will easily prove the most 
notable in New England, if not in this 
country, since the famous World's 
Peace Jubilee held in this city over thirty 
years ago.
