~W-W» Lufkin, private secretary 
for Congressman Gardner, was the 
interlocutor, and there were 24 in the 
circle and chorus, including the eight 
end men. The show was given under 
the direction of W. Hosmer, and 
under the local auspices of Long’s 
orchestra. 
All of the numbers. were well re- 
ceived and all. were called back. for 
encore. Percy Burnham, whom .the 
interlocutor introduced as being “ of 
Essex and Manchester’”’ made the hit 
of the ‘evening..in ‘“He-walked right 
in, and turned around and walked 
right out again.”’ He shuffled in a 
catchy little step at the end of each 
verse and was by far the best dancer 
in the crowd. . Hé was called up five 
fimes. 3. 
John Wilson, “the Lew Dockstader 
of Essex County,’ * was given a good 
hand also in his ‘I’ve got to dance till 
the band gets through.’’ John is tall 
and slim and is strong enough to hold 
down an end on any amateur minstrel 
troupe. His “lunch” story took the 
cake. 
Lyman James’ oP song, “ Fifty 
years from now,” made.a preat hit. 
Prof, A. W,. Andrews was all to 
the good ins:his . handcuff stunts, 
though the lateness of the hour rather 
handicapped him, in carrying ‘out:his 
and ankles were linked ‘together, he 
succeeded, in removing the cuffs. 
Dancing followed for an hour or 
more after the show. .A. number of 
young people attended from Beverly 
Farms and Magnolia.

and Mrs: David E. Betts, and was 
born in Brewer, Me., where her re- 
mains were taken Monday for burial. 
She was buried from the home of her 
aunt, Mrs. Moses Staples on Tuesday. 
Miss Betts, though not born in 
Manchester has spent practically all 
her life here, her parents coming to 
the town when she was six months old. 
She attended the public schools and 
would have been graduated in last 
year’s class in the Story High school, 
did she not have to leave school. 
Sunday funeral services were held 
over her remains at her late home, the 
Rev. E. Hersey Brewster officiating. 
He spoke very feelingly of her death 
and of the patience with which she 
bore her sufferings so many long 
weeks, 
A profusion of beautiful flowers and 
floral pieces. were sent by ‘friends of 
the young woman, among them being 
a beautiful wreath from her former 
classmates in the High school.

leaves also a_ brother, Haseley
