NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
WEDNESDAY EVENING CLUB 
(Continued from first page, third column) 
King’s Cross railway station, in Lon- 
don, was thrown upon the screen, and 
in this connection the speaker called 
attention to the little over head _pas- 
sage-ways, by which passengers pass 
over the tracks. The cars are lower 
than ours, and the seats are opposite 
to each other instead of arranged 
across the cars as here. 
The Tower of London was shown, 
and this was designated as the first 
place of settlement in London by the 
early Britons. Even now can be seen 
the remains of the old Roman _ build- 
ings. Views showing the entrance to 
the tower, and interior views showing 
the early Norman architecture of the 
10th, 11thand 12th centuries, square 
capitols and no ornamentation, and 
one of the prison cells in the tower 
were also cast on the screen. The 
“gruesome shaped object’? shown in 
one of the views was explained as the 
‘thead-chopping block” used in the 
early days. The cabinet in which is 
kept the regalia of England, the 
crowns, sceptres, beautiful jewels, etc., 
was also shown. 
London bridge, with its passage for 
foot passengers 145 feet high, King 
William’s street, and the monument 
erected in honor of the stopping of the 
great fire in 1666, the famous Ex- 
change, where Jmore money changes 
hands in a day than in any other part 
of the world, the Lord Mayor’s head- 
quarters, which is the civil and politi- 
cal’ center of London, were ‘next 
shown. The state carriage in which 
the Lord Mayor appears on all state 
functions was an interesting picture 
also. 
Some interesting slides were shown 
of St. Paul’s, both exterior and inter- 
ior views, and of the Temple bar, the 
western gate of the old city, were cast 
on the screen. The speaker spoke 
rather disparagingly of the auto 
busses which are supplanting the famil- 
iar old style ’busses in the busy streets 
of London; they make too much noise, 
and leave an unpleasant odor behind 
them. 
Among other beautiful views shown 
were: Trafalgar Square, an old mul- 
berry tree supposed to have been 
planted by Henry VIII, Regent street, 
Pall Mall, the Queen’s Guard, the 
House of Parliament, Westminster 
Abbey, and some very pretty interior 
views of the same, Her Majesty’s bed- 
room in the palace (Buckingham), the 
Oxford and Cambridge  eight-oar 
shells on the Thames, Hampton Court, 
the Abysinian lion in the zoological 
garden, Windsor Castle, King 
George’s chapel in the castle, and the 
last two views were of King Edward 
VII and Queen Alexander. 
The program was arranged by a

Excellent Showing 
Rev. Fr. Powers last Sunday read 
his annual financial report, which 
spoke very complimentary of the good 
work done by Fr. Powers during his 
fourteen months’ pastorate in Man- 
chester. The report shewedsstnat 
about $12,250 had been collected dur- 
ing the year, and this with $6,750 
turned over to him when he took 
charge of the pastorate made a total 
of $19,000. He has paid on the new 
church thus far about $12,000, with- 
out borrowing, and with the architects’ 
fees, etc, a total of about $13,000. 
Besides this he bought and paid for 
the land adjoining the old church 
property. In addition to the good ef- 
forts of the pastor in raising funds, 
these figures also indicate the willing 
d sposition of the people of Manches- 
ter to help build the new church edi- 
fice.
