NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Land and Water Carnival. 
The eighth annual land and water 
carnival at Crescent’ Beach, Magnolia, 
Tuesday, broke all previous records for 
its general success and promptness. ‘The 
sports started promptly at three o’ clock 
and were witnessed by over two thous- 
and interested spectators. Summer re- 
sidents and local people from Manches- 
ter to Gloucester came in large numbers 
and a big gathering filled the pavilion and 
overflowed onto the beach. 
Great “interest and enthusiasm was 
shown both by the spectators and the 
contestants in all the events. “he Mag- 
nolia Marathon race aroused the greatest 
excitement and the runners were hearti- 
ly applauded as they came in. From the 
start the race lay with Herman Walker, 
captain of the Dartmouth track team, 
and he finished easily fully a hundred 
yards in the lead. Hugh Bradley, of 
Andover, followed and then the other 
runners came straggling in one at a time 
most of them game to the last. 
Another of theland events that aroused 
considerable enthusiasm was the relay 
race between the bell boys of the Ocean- 
: side and Hesperus hotels. At the start 
the race lay with the Oceanside runner but 
; 
later Hesperus runners secured the ad- 
vantage, and when H. W.. Brown, of 
Monson Academy took the red handker- 
chief for the Oceanside, the Hesperus 
runner was some distances in the lead, 
Brown’s long legs, howerer, quickly ate 
up the intervening distance and he crossed 
the tape several feet in advance. 
The other races were well contested 
and some very good sport was provided. 
Great interest was shown by the contest- 
ants in the potato race and considerable 
laughter was raised. 
The water sports were of no less in- 
terest than theland sports, and the audi- 
ence thronged to the water’s edge. At 
the shot from the starter’s revolver the 
swimmers plunged into the water with 
a great splash and started for the goal 
with great speed. “The crawl stroke was 
the most popular and the distance was 
rapidly covered. Carrol Robinson of 
Gloucester, was the winner of this event, 
and swam easily and swiftly. Fora time 
‘it was feared that he would lose for al- 
though he was some little distance ahead 
he swam way to the left of the float with 
his head under water, and only touched 
it, as the requirements demanded, a sec- 
ond before the second swimmer. 
- Considerable amusement was caused 
in the canoe race by the capsizing of one 
of the canoes just after they had rounded 
the flag and were on the home stretch. 
Not knowing of the catastrophe of the 
ther crew, the winners spurted ahead 
amid the jollying of the spectators who 
Id them that the other canoe was _ close 
hind. “The winners were all guests 
f the Oceanside as were also the mem- 
bers of the other crew. After the race 
was over another canoe put off to enter 
complaining that it had been started 
without sufficient notification and 
demanded a~ race with the winners. 
This was granted and although the win- 
ners of the preceding race were naturally 
somewhat tried they easily outstripped 
the other canoe. 
In the swimming race for ladies con- 
siderable disappointment was caused by 
the failure of Miss O’ Brien, the winner 
of last year’s race, to enter. The race 
lay between two sisters, the Misses Inez 
and Laura Kenny and was won by the 
former.

Adams Annual Reunion. 
The descendants of Robert Adams, 
who settled in Newbury, Massachusetts, 
in 1640, will hold a reunion at the own 
hall, Newbury, near the site of the first 
homestead, and on land formerly owned 
by said Robert Adams, on August 12,
