TOWN MEETING AT MANCHESTER. 
Monday Evening Session brought out some heated Discussions; a Irttle 
“sharp shooting” practiced. Town refuses to buy the Sinnicks land. 
$31,000 appropriated for Streets. 
ter Band. 
The first adjournment of the Man- 
chester Town Meeting in the Town 
hall, Monday evening, proved the most 
lively of the three thus far, and some of 
the speakers waxed warm in their dis- 
cussion. The matter of purchasing 
from G. S. Sinnicks the little piece of 
land on Beach street, near the park, 
brought out the most heated discussion. 
This was finally voted down and Mr. 
Sinnicks was given the right to build on 
the land if he so choose. 
C. C. Dodge raked Mr. Sinnicks over 
the coals in no uncertain terms and said 
this was the worst case of betrayal since 
the days of Judas Iscariot and Benedict 
Arnold. The speaker was sharply call- 
ed to order and told to refrain from per- 
sonalities when he accused Mr. Sinnicks 
of “‘buncoing’’ the town. 
$500 for Band Concerts by Manches= 
Total appropriations over $183,000. 
The matter of band concerts also 
occasioned some little discussion. The 
question was whether $500 should be 
appropriated for the ‘“Manchester-by- 
the-Sea band’’ to play at all the nine 
concerts, or some other band be hired 
for some of the concerts, the expression 
being made that the citizens might like a 
change in this respect once in a while. 
It was finally decided to hire the local 
band for all the concerts. 
Another matter which caused a little 
flurry of excitement was the motion intro- 
duced by George Norie, recording secre- 
tary of the Carpenter’s union, that it be 
the sense of the meeting that the town 
officials and committees letting out work 
in the building trades give firms employ- 
ing union help the preference.

Rev. C. Arthur Lincoln 
Leaves Manchester for New Field 
Rey. C. Arthur Lincoln, for the past 
year and a half, pastor of the Congrega- 
tional church, left the first of this week 
for his new field of labor in St. Louis, 
where he goes as assistant to the pastor 
in the Pilgrim church, one of the largest 
in the middle west. 
Last Sunday Mr. Lincoln preached 
before two large congregations, at the 
evening service especially there being a 
large attendance. There was special sing- 
ing at both the morning and evening ser- 
vice. Misses Josephine R. and Ida L. 
Lincoln, who have sang here on several 
occasions, were heard again with much 
pleasure. In the evening they sang in a 
quintet, of which Miss C. E. Allen, F. 
J. Merrill and A. L. Saben were the 
other members. Frank Bennett of Glou- 
cester presided at the organ in the even- 
ing and Miss Louise Lathard, violinist, 
added much to the musical feature of the 
evening service. 
The pastor preached in the morning
