Mrs. Roger W. Cutler (Leslie 
Bradley), who is highly accomplished 
in various directions, has added to her 
attainments by capturing the largest 
tarpon of the season at Miami, where 
Mr. and Mrs. Cutler have been for a

made a week’s cruise on the Yuma, 
with admirable results, and although

made the record catch of the winter 
in landing a fish weighing 95 pounds.

Dug Potatoes in Ninndhesias on Jan. 20; 
Mowed Field on Jan. 29. 
Some idea of the mildness of the 
winter weather in this part of the 
country this year may be gathered 
from the following incidents, not based 
on rumor, but on absolute facts: 
Wilbur J. Paige, keeper of the alm- 
house at Manchester, plowed a potato 
field on Monday of last week, Jan. 
20. He picked up a basket of potatoes, 
turned up with the soil. Some of 
these were served at the dinner pro- 
vided the board of overseers of the 
poor on the occasion of their annual 
visit to the almshouse, Friday, Jan. 
24. 
Caretaker Henry Menkin of ”Crow- 
hurst,” the F. M. Whitehouse estate 
at Manchester Cove, mowed a field of 
more than an acre of ground on the 
lowlands of the estate on Wednes- 
day of this week—Jan. 29. A large 
mower, with single horse attached, 
was used. A man with rake followed 
up the machine. 
The “hokey-pokey” carts have been 
kept on in Manchester all winter, thus 
far—an unusual record. ‘The first 
time on record when the street-clean- 
ers have been kept to work up into 
January. 
Rev. Mr. Harrison, father of Mrs. 
R. T. Glendenning of Church street,

given up hopes of getting any ice this
