’ The Fourth at Manchester. 
Manchester's celebration of the 
nation’s birthday passed with much noise 
and rattle, much good time and little to 
mar the day. There was more noise 
and fun-making than for years gone-by, 
but thanks to Chief of Police Sullivan 
and his efficient corps, good order was 
everywhere manifest throughout the day. 
In a public way, the day was spent in 
various amusements. In the morning 
there were games and sports, in the after- 
noon races, and in the afternoon and 
evening band concerts on the common. 
The day started officially at 5.30 o’ clock 
Monday morning when the ringing of 
bells and salutes were heard all over the 
town. 
The sports began at 8.30 o’clock at 
the Brook street playgrounds. While 
all the events were interesting, the chief 
attraction of the morning was the base- 
ball game between the Manchester 
Juniors and a picked team. The game 
; went nip and tuck for ten innings, when 
; the picked team won out with a score of 
7 to 6. The line-ups were as follows: 
ss Manchester: Gillis If, Moore cf, 
: Walen p, Cool rf, Maslen 3b, Hol-

in 11 seconds. C. E. Dodge, second;

The band concerts, both afternoon 
and evening drew large crowds to the 
common. Chief of Police Sullivan made 
provision that the music might be heard 
at its best by restricting the firing of fire- 
crackers or other explosives in the square 
during the concert hours. In the even- 
ing the common was illuminated very 
rete eps Sores bulbs.
