WATER PAGEANT AT MANCHESTER 
And Parade of Illuminated Boats a Very Successful Affair. Beautiful Display of 
. Fireworks 
‘The annual water pageant and harbor 
illumination, and parade of decorated 
boats in Manchester Monday evening 
was a most gratifying success from every 
point of view. It was a delightful even- 
ing. [here was no breeze to interfere 
house and lingered a while in the river 
way, while those aboard took in the fire- 
works display. 
The judges were Mrs. S. Parker 
Bremer and Mrs. Francis W. Fabyan. 
‘They were stationed on the Manchester 
MANCHESTER YACHT CLUB 
with the hundreds upon hundreds of Jap- 
anese lanterns used in the decoration, 
and there was hardly a ripple on the 
water. ‘The sky was fair and the light 
from the full moon added its part to the 
beauty of the occasion. More boats 
were in line than for a great many years, 
—15 boats in all. 
The fireworks display, following the 
boat parade, was a very pretty spectacle 
and brought the evening to a most de- 
lightful close. 
‘The parade was started a few minutes 
after eight, on schedule time, Charles FE. 
Hodges and William L. Putnam having 
this in charge. ‘[here were fifteen con- 
testants in the line, and by rare coinci- 
dence the line was headed by a float re- 
presenting a primitive Indian scene, com- 
mon in the early days of Manchester, no 
doubt, and was called ‘‘ Masconomo,’’ 
while the last boat in the line was Judge 
Moore’s elegantly furnished steam yacht, 
one of the best for comfort and pleasure 
that modern ingenuity and money can 
provide. 
The line passed slowly down the har- 
bor, past the town pier and yacht club, 
outinto the harbor, to and around C. 
Howard Clark, jr’s., magnificent steam 
yacht, the Savarona, which was aglow 
from stem to stern with vari-colored 
electric lights and Japanese lanterns. 
The yacht, itself, while it did not leave 
its moorings, off West Manchester, pre- 
sented a most striking spectacle from the 
shore. Returning back to the harbor 
again the line passed slowly by the club

Others in the line were: decorated 
canoe, and the sailboat ‘“ Moslem,’’ 
owned by C. Howard Clark, jr., with 
letter ‘“‘M,’’ outlined on the latter; 
Flower Basket}; C. R. and R.S. Cod- 
man, jr.; Pond Lily, S. Parker Bremer; 
Judge Moore’s steam yacht, “‘ Zin- 
ganee.”’ 
While the pageant was arranged under 
the auspices of the Manchester Yacht 
club, ittwas. by no means confined to 
club members, but the invitation to join 
in the carnival was extended to all. 
At nine o'clock the signal to illumi- 
nate the shore was sounded. Among 
the most beautiful decorations were those 
at the E. C. Fitch estate. The pierand 
landing were aglow with Japanese lan- 
terns, aud presented a very pretty sight. 
Other places having decorations were

Bremer, A. I. Croll, W. A. Tucker,
