The Fourth at the Farms. 
Beverly Farms as usual was the ren- 
dezvous for hundreds of people on the 
‘Fourth,’’ for the program carried out 
here is usually of a little more interesting 
nature than at other place hereabouts. 
The horse events, perhaps, go a long 
way toward attracting many people who 
would otherwise not be interested. 
At the Farms, too, more than any- 
where else along the shore, the summer 
cottagers take an active part in the cele- 
bration and co-operate with the towns- 
people in making the day one of enjoy- 
ment. 
The principal feature of the afternoon 
were the horse and pony events. Mrs. 
Thomas Pierce of Beverly Farms, won 
a cup inthe pony jumping with her pet 
pony ‘‘ Quail.’’ At the time of the 
contest it was raining quite hard, but she 
did not mind that apparently. She was 
the only woman rider present. 
The display of fireworks in the even- 
ing was splendid. The rockets and 
other features of the display were set off 
from the end of the pier at West Beach 
and it is estimated that fully 1500 people 
were on hand for the event. 
The Rowley Brass band of 22 pieces, 
that has been at the Farms on the Fourth 
for the past eight years, did itself 
proud again this year.’ If the band 
lacked anything in quality it certainly 
made up in quantity and earned its 
money. ‘The band hits the popular 
mark at the Farms, and mghtly, too.

While no “‘ official’’ event was sched- 
uled for the morning there was some- 
thing which attracted a large number,— 
a ball game between the married and un- 
married men. ‘The bachelors captured 
the honors, but not until they had been 
given a pretty close call by the married 
men. ‘The score was 25 to 24, which 
tells a whole story in itself. 
The horse events were run off under 
the direction of Gerard Bement, Wil- 
liam H. Seabury, N. S. Simpkins and 
W. D. Denegre. 
Keith's. 
Week after week at Keith’s big at- 
tractions are following each other in 
rapid succession, the next to come being 
the famous Romany Opera Company, 
the largest organization of the kind ever 
presented in yaudeville,—in fact is as 
strong as many of the productions that 
give a whole evening’s entertainment. 
It will include in its present visit most of 
last season’s successes and favorites, 
Miss Florence Quinn, the wonderful 
soprano, who made a tremendous hit 
and more than duplicated it as the lead- 
ing soloist of ‘“‘ The Red Mill’? Com- 
pany; Sig. Ettore Campana; Sig. Res- 
sini and Alexander Bevan, who is still at 
the head of the organization. For the 
present engagement an entirely new 
production has been made under the 
title of ‘La Festo di Mezz Agosto.’’ 
There are no less than sixteen people i in 
the company, and it will be perhaps im- 
possible to get together a company of 
artists in one engagement at any other 
time to equal this,
