kindness of Mr. and Mrs. William

Adjourned Town Meeting. 
The adjourned Town Meeting, in 
Manchester, will be held next Mon- 
day evening at 7.30. Prominent 
among the unfinished business, will 
be action pertaining to dredging. 
The town will be called upon to ap- 
propriate $6,000 to be used by the 
state, if the town so votes, in dredg- 
ing a 100-foot channel from the 
present turn in the channel near the 
Manchester Yacht elub across the 
Glass Head flats. The state will 
spend some $9,000 in addition to this 
to do the work. The bids have been 
received by the Harbor & Land com- 
missioners and the contract will be 
awarded as soon as to town takes 
action in favor. 
This is such an important work 
and means so much for the town 
that it should pass next Monday 
evening without a dissenting vote. 
The committee on bath house at 
Singing Beach will also be prepared 
to make some sort of a report, it is 
said. The park board and the sum-

a minor nature to come before the

in the order. Ex-Supreme Governor, 
E. G. Foster of Salem, made one of 
and Mrs. MeMurphy, the deputy, of

night. Long’s orchestra furnished 
excellent dance musie¢.

the most enjoyable in the history of 
the local colony. Among those pres-

erly Farms and Gloucester, 
Entertainment and Dance. 
The entertainment and dance 
given in the Manchester Town hall 
last evening, under the direction of 
the Manchester brass band was a 
success, both from the amount of 
money received as admission fees 
from the large crowd attending, and 
from the quality of the performance. 
The program started with a selec- 
tion by the band. Henry Myers of 
Boston then entertained the gath- 
ering with a black-face sketch. <A 
double quartet from the Beverly 
Farms band, Peter Gaudreau presi- 
dent, rendered a selection in good 
form and harmony. The stump 
speech by Cy Slocum, in which 
George Burehstead was Cy, made a 
hit. As usual it contained hits on 
local people. Miss Grace Stetson, a 
pretty Miss, sang several. very pretty 
songs. James Murray of Boston 
gave a varied variety of entertain- 
ment in a ten-minute act, including 
a sketch as mailman, songs, fancy 
dancing and story-telling. William 
Craig made his debut as a soloist in 
singing ‘‘Harbor of Love’’ and as a 
climax, Alex Sjorlund and Mr. Hen- 
neberry put on an act that kept 
everybody in good humor while it 
lasted. Dancing brought the even- 
ing to a close. Long’s orchestra 
furnished music during the evening 
entertainment, as well as for the 
E. T. Slattery’s Opening.

the country. 
As a fashionable Exhibit of Wo-- 
men’s Misses’ and Children’s Ap- 
parel, their Opening was an un- 
qualified success. 
French couturiers are well repre- 
sented and there are many original 
designs and reproductions of French 
models by the best American 
makers. In fact the problem of 
dressing well on a moderate income 
is solved by securing their new and 
exclusive designs copied in the less 
costly materials, yet excellently 
made and bearing their guarantee. 
Included in the Opening are Wo-_ 
men’s Hats, Suits, Dresses, Waists, 
Neckwear, Veiling, Gloves, 
and American made Undermuslins 
and Misses and Small Women’s ap- — 
parel. Noteworthy also is the new 
‘‘Children’s Department’? in which ~ 
is displayed a rarely beautiful col- 
lection of dresses, coats, suits, ete., 
for the little Miss of six to fourteen — 
years.
