We call attention to the “minority re- 
port” of the Appropriation Committee 
in regard to the additional water sup- 
ply for Manchester. It is very evi- 
dent from the two reports presented 
that this matter will evoke a lively dis- 
cussion at the Town Meeting next 
week. The reports are on page 17. 
Com. Robert E. Peary, the famous 
Arctic explorer, will give his lecture

Gloucester, Monday evening, April 
22, 1907, under the auspices of the 
Cape Ann Scientific and Literary As-

vicinity are planning to attend this 
lecture, as trains are convenient. 
We acknowledge with thanks a copy 
of the ‘‘ Manual for the General Court, 
1907,” from Herman McDonald, a 
Beverly Farms young man in Governor 
Guild’s office at the State House. The 
manual contains the rules of the two 
branches, together with the Constitu- 
tion of the Commonwealth and that of 
the United States, and a list of the ex- 
ecutive, legislative and judicial depart- 
ments of the state government, state 
institutions and their officers, and 
other statistical information.

MANCHESTER MAN TO MAKE MODEL OF 
SHIP FOR THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION 
The.task, and honor, as well, of 
making a model of the first steamer 
that ever crossed the Atlantic, for the 
Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition, 
has been awarded to John J. Furgu- 
son, of Brook street, Manchester. 
A few days ago Mr. Furguson re- 
ceived from W. de C. Ravenel, of the 
Smithsonian Institution and National 
Museum, the following self-explana- 
tory letter: 
“Mr. John Furguson : 
Dear Sir: I write to ask if you will 
undertake the construction of a dupli- 
cate of the model of the steamer 
Savannah, which is now in the Na- 
tional Museum. I enclose for your 
information a description of the vessel, 
and a photograph. It is necessary 
that the model should be completed 
in June, and I want you to give me an 
estimate for it completed, packed and 
ready for shipment. Should you pre- 
fer doing it in Washington, I could 
furnish you the necessary workshop 
and turning lathe. Please let me have 
your reply by wire. You should also 
confirm it by letter. 
«Very truly yours, 
“W. de C. Ravenel.” 
To make a model of this sort is no 
small task. It will take weeks of 
work, and part of the time it will be 
necessary for Mr. Furguson to have 
more or less help. He will build the 
Rockport” for sorne time and this is 
one of the schemes hit upon. And 
we venture to say it will prove a good 
scheme. One step in the movement 
is the changing of the publication day 
of the Revzew from Saturday to 
Wednesday so as to give the advertis- 
ers the opportunity to advertise their 
goods a day before the sale. The 
paper was loaded with advertising in 
this week’s issue. 
Manchester Choral Society 
The sconcert sto spe siven sinsethe 
Town hall, Manchester, next Thurs- 
day evening by the Manchester Choral 
society, will be one of rare merit for a 
local affair. That the event will be 
well patronized may be seen from the 
large number of tickets that have been 
sold. Last night there were less than 
50 seats left in the whole hall. The 
beauty of an affair of this kind, 
of course, is the fact that there is very 
little choice of seats,—one seat being 
as good as the other. Persons desir- 
ing seats should go to Cheever’s 
Drug store tonight and get them. 
The local chorus will be assisted 
model in Manchester, though he could 
have gone to Washington, and will 
work from a photograph and from 
printed description of the old ship. 
He has had experience in this line be- 
fore, and a number of his models may 
be found at the museum in Washing- 
ton and elsewhere. 
The steamship Savannah was the 
first steamship to cross the Atlantic. 
This ship was built by Francis 
Fickett, at Corlear’s Hook, N.Y., and 
was launched Aug. 22, 1818. Origin- 
ally designed as a sailing ship to run 
as a packet to Havre, France, she was 
purchased before completion and fitted 
with steam engines and adjustable 
paddle wheels. Her capacity was 75 
tons of coal, 25 cords of wood. 
She was a wooden, carvel-built keel 
ship; she carried a full ship rig. 
Length over all, 120 feet; water line, 
116 feet; beam, 29 feet; depth of 
hold; 13 féeet;.Gane 
$50,000. 
The Savannah made her first trip in 
1819, leaving Savannah, Ga., May 22, 
and arriving in Liverpool June 20. As 
she neared the British coast she was 
mistaken for a ship on fire. 
The designs for the model were 
based on a careful study of contempo- 
raneous sailing vessels and the litho- 
graph published shortly subsequent to 
the building of the Savannah. 
by soprano and basso soloists, and by 
ten members of the Boston Festival 
orchestra. The final reheatsal will be 
held in the hall next Thursday after- 
noon. A committee of ladies from 
the choral is preparing to entertain 
some 30 of the orchestra and out-of- 
town singers between the rehearsal 
and the concert.
