Among the contemplated improve- 
ments and building operations to be 
carried on at Manchester the coming 
winter is that at the Essex County club. 
It is proposed to move the annex, which 
now cuts off the view and the breeze 
from the main clubhouse into line with 
the main building, making one long im- 
posing building, to be painted a rich grey 
with white trimmings and a moss green 
roof and blinds, and to connect the main 
floor of the annex directly with the pres- 
ent lounging room, making a connecting 
room between, and making the whole 
more accessible. 
It is proposed to convert the whole 
upper part of the annex into bedrooms, 
making at least ten bedrooms. As the 
club has had added opportunity each year 
to let rooms to bachelor members of the 
club, members of the diplomatic corps, 
etc., this change will no doubt be a 
source of more income for the club. 
The change will necessitate the re- 
arrangement of the present driveway and 
entrance to the club, and of the garden 
on the westerly end of the house. 
Another improvement will be ~ the 
building of a piazza back of the men’s 
room and an outside gallery from it 
along the back of the club toward the 
eastern end so that those coming in from 
play need not use the front piazza. 
Subscriptions are being received from 
members, and the committee feel con- 
fident that the changes as proposed will 
be made. If so the club will not be 
available for winter parties the coming 
winter. 
A new water system is to be installed 
at the Haven estate, Beverly Farms. 
The contract has been awarded to 
Thomas McDonnell, and includes the 
laying of about 1600 feet. of four-inch 
pipe. 
Connolly Bros. of Beverly Farms com- 
menced work this week with a large 
force of men onthe construction of a 
large estate for Quincy Hayes Trow- 
bridge, at New Haven, Conn. In main 
the work consists of various buildings, 
arbors, apergola, general landscape work, 
Italian garden, fountains, terrace and 
other walls and practically all that goes 
to make a complete fitting for an elabor- 
ate estate. Arthur A. Shurtleff of Bos- 
ton is the architect. 
Morley Flatley & Co., the Manches- 
ter contractors, were awarded the con- 
tract yesterday for the stone and brick

South Shore, for Ezra R, Thayer. They

will also do the landscape work. 
This concern has also been awarded 
the contract for building a tennis court 
on the Mrs. Fassett estate, at East 
Gloucester.

week is of the C. H. Tweed house at 
Beverly Farms, to which such a large 
addition was built last winter by Pub-

Alterations and Improvements at the 
North Shore Grill. 
Although the North Shore Grill has 
hardly closed its doors after the season’s 
business, preparations have already been 
begun to improve the Grill and its sur- 
roundings, and the work commenced. 
The veranda facing the ocean, used 
during the past season as a dining room, 
is being enlarged and when completed 
will be widened by eight feet. The in- 
terior of the enclosed veranda will be 
transferred into a little latticed garden, 
copied from a Spanish pagoda, latticed 
at the top and sides and concealing the 
shingles of the wall of the Grill itself. 
During the summer, climbing vines and 
flowers will twine over the lattice work 
and add charm to the general appearance. 
The entrance to the tea garden will 
also be changed. Laticed arches will 
be placed under the pergola. ‘The 
tables with their sheltering umbrellas will 
be placed nearer the road so that the 
guests may be able to note the arrivals 
and departures. In short the Grill will 
be made more beautiful and _ attractive 
than ever. 
The management is also preparing to 
open the Grill the first of June the com- 
ing season rather than the 20th as in the 
summer just past, and to remain open 
until the first of October. During the 
week following the closing of the tea 
house, a great many came to the Grill 
either for lunch or dinner and were ex- 
ceedingly disappointed to find it closed. 
Sousa and His Band. 
When Sousa, the famous bandmaster, 
was engaged with his band as a leading 
feature of the 7th and Greatest Boston 
Food Fair, conducted by the Boston Re- 
tail Grocers’ Association at the Park 
Square Coliseum, from Monday, Sept. 
28th, to Saturday, Oct. 31st, it was with 
the understanding that he should make 
his engagement a notable one. ‘To car- 
ry outtbe bargain Sousa agreed to do 
something he had never done before in 
Boston, and that was to raise his band to 
its full strength of sixty-five pieces, the 
number which he has only for such ex- 
ceptional engagements as those at the 
world’s expositions. It happens that 
Sousa and his band are starting on a fare- 
well tour of the world, immediately fol- 
lowing this engagement at the Boston
