First Baptist church. Sunday, Aug. 
15, the pastor, Rev. Theodore Lyman 
Frost, will preach on ‘‘ The Blessedness 
of Persecution,” and in the evening on 
““The Man Who Never Grew Old.”’ 
Charles Fritz was the winner of the 
contest conducted by Allen’s drug store 
and received the fountain pen offered for 
writing the phrase, ‘‘you blow it to fill 
it,’” onone side of a postal card the 
greatest number of times. Mr. Fritz 
wrote the phrase 185 times and won the 
$6.50 silver mounted Crocker fountain 
pen. 
Water Pageant at Manchester. 
But for the strong breeze that was 
blowing last night the weather conditions 
for the annual water pageant at Manches- 
ter, underthe auspices of the Manches- 
ter Yacht club, would have been ideal. 
In other ways the procession and every- 
thing that went with it went off in splen- 
did order. 
It might be said, however, that the 
number of boats entered in the proces- 
sion was far from what it should have 
been. It is to be regretted that more in- 
terest in these affairs is not taken by the 
townspeople. The yacht club spends 
considerable money each year for fire- 
works and prizes and the townspeople 
should show their appreciation by enter- 
ing boats in the procession. 
The procession started at 8.25 and the 
boats were towed down the harbor from 
the Fenton Co.’s wharf, past the club 
house and to the outer harbor, by F. W. 
Fabyan’s power boat ‘‘ Edith.’’ On re- 
turning to the harbor the boats were 
brought to a stop in front of the club 
house until after the fireworks. 
The display of fireworks from Long 
Pier was beautiful, ending with the club 
pennant blazing out in a flame of fire at 
one end of the pier. 
The shore line’ was __ illuminated. 
Among those having illuminations were 
E. C. Fitch, W. A. Tucker, Charles 
Read, Dr. Lancashire, the Town Pier, 
the Picnic House, the Club House, E. 
S. Grew, Gordon Abbott, E. D. Jordan, 
J. H. Storer, A. ¢I. Croll, S. Parker 
Bremer. One of the large yachts in the 
outer harbor was dressed in Japanese lan- 
terns from stem to ‘Stern. 
At Dr. Webber’s estate red fire lighted 
up an American flag waving from the 
flag-pole on the estate and made a very 
pretty effect.
