of Manchester about 300 times as 
much as it does the average town of 
its size in the State, and nearly 100 
times more than it costs the average 
town from 2 to 4 times as large as it. 
Manchester has about 6 times as many 
police officers doing regular duty (?) 
as the average town of its size. In 
fact, the average town of its size has 
no regular police officer, being de- 
pendent wholly on constables who do 
no regular police duty. Manchester 
has about 3 times as many regular po- 
lice officers as the average town three 
times as large as Manchester.

PILGRIM QUARTET AND READER GIVE 
Hicu Ciass ENTERTAINMENT AT 
MANCHESTER 
The entertainment in the Town hall, 
Wednesday evening, in the Manches- 
ter club course, was furnished by the 
Pilgrim Quartet of Boston, assisted 
by Fred E. Kendall, reader and im- 
personator, and was of a high class, 
even more so than the other entertain- 
ments in the course, all of which 
have been of distinctly good order. 
The quartet, which has been heard 
in Manchester on several occasions in 
the past, is composed of Percy F. 
Baker, baritone and manager; Wm. 
Gustafson, Jr., basso; Robert FitzGer- 
ald, 1st tenor, and Everett S. Glines, 
2nd tenor. The selections by the 
quartet and the solos were well select- 
ed and rendered with good express- 
ion. ‘The opening number was “Hark 
the Trumpet,” by Buck; as an encore 
they sang “Old Black Joe.” A bass 
solo, “Sunset,” by Van de Water, was 
rendered by Mr. Gustafson, who sang 
“City Choir’ ’as an encore. The quar- 
tet sang a comic selection “Dried Ap- 
ple Pies,” followed by two popular 
selections, “Under the Southern 
Moonlight,” with solo part by Mr. 
Baker, and “Colleen Machree.” A 
duet “The Battle Eve” (Bonheur), 
rendered by Mr. Glines and Mr. Gus- 
tafson was followed by a closing 
number “Sweetheart,” by the quartet. 
Mr. Gustafson sang as an encore to 
his solo the Amorous Song from Robin 
Hood, by de Koven. 
Mr. Kendall’s impersonations, read- 
ings and story telling, kept the au- 
dience in good humor all the evening. 
His wordless pantomime of how the 
old man sewed on the button was a 
m-dispelling number, and his ser- 
mon on Mother Hubbard, though old, 
was given the best we have ever 
heard it. He read Sam Walter Foss’ 
“House by the Side of the Road” as 
one of his numbers. As a story-teller

Editor North Shore Breeze: 
It came to my attention Thursday 
that a report had been started to the 
effect that I would not be a candidate 
this year for Park Commissioner. It 
is not so. I am in the race to win. 
Three years ago I was defeated by a 
very small majority. This year I am 
expecting the support of old and new 
friends combined. Thanking you for 
the space allowed me, I am,
