Another tug-of-war contest between 
the victorious K. of C. team of Man- 
chester and the Yannigans of Beverly 
Farms is a possibility of the near future. 
Capt. Gaudreau says he is willing to meet 
the K. of C. team any time after Christ- 
mas and that he will match any purse 
they put up, to be taken by the winner, 
and names Neighbor’s hall, Beverly 
Farms, as the place to hold the contest. 
A former well known Manchester 
young man, Harry Roberts, was one of 
the successful candidates for council- 
manic honors at Salem Tuesday. The 
Salem News observes that ‘“ Henry K. 
Roberts, Republican, better known as 
‘Zeus,’ the famous Salem High school 
and Harvard football player of some 
years ago, goes into the Ward Five dele- 
gation in place of Councilman Dock- 
man.’’ 
Former customers and patrons of 
Frank H. Dennis will be interested to 
know that Mr. Dennis has started in 
business again and will be around to take 
orders for groceries as usual. He will 
not open a store in the center of the 
town at present, but he will take ~ orders 
and deliver goods. He may build a 
small store house and neighborhood store 
on his property on Lincoln street in the 
near future.

-There was considerable excitement on 
School street near the Essex County 
Club, Sunday, when a horse belonging 
to and driven by Fred - Sanford was 
frightened at an automobile and became 
uncontrolable. The animal then started 
for Essex at a high rate of speed. ‘The 
wagon collided with a tree nearby, and 
was completely demolished. ‘The horse 
continued on up Mill street and was 
finally captured on Forest street. Mr. 
Sanford was thrown but received only 
slight injuries.

instant and ending January 5, 1909. A 
long list of events for teams, clubs and 
individuals has been nearly completed, 
making a tournament which is certain 
to arouse widespread interest and the 
keenest competition. All New England 
is invited to participate and so far the 
response has been most encouraging to 
the committee in charge of this particular 
feature. The intention is to offer such 
an inviting program that novices, as well 
as experienced and most skillful shots, 
will enter the various contests with the 
result of a general uplifting of this phase 
of sportsmanship. In this, and many 
other respects the coming exhibition to - 
be held under the auspices of the New 
England Forest, Fish and Game Asso- 
ciation, is planned to be of great educa- 
tional value. 
Live moose, deer, fish and birds of 
various kinds are being received daily 
and a great tank is now being constructed 
for the aquatic events. Every indication 
points to the greatest and best sports- 
men’s show that New England has ever 
seen when the “‘show’’ of 1908 is fully 
installed in the vast Mechanic’s building.
