INTERESTING LECTURE By DR. BERLE 
Rev. A. A. Berle was the lecturer 
Wednesday evening in the last of the 
series of six entertainments given in 
the Town hall, Manchester, the past 
winter under the auspices of The Man- 
chester club. His subject was “The 
New World,” which was far from be- 
ing, as the subject would suggest, a 
discourse along geographical or his- 
torical lines. 
lightening discussion, without any set 
theme, along ethical and philosophical 
lines, suggesting the wonderful strides 
that had been made in science and 
medical and intellectual research in 
the last few decades. 
“The New World” as the subject 
of the lecture was suggested by the 
new world that was opened up to a 
young man of his acquaintance who 
as a bank messenger some fifteen years 
ago had run away with several thous- 
and dollars of the bank’s funds and 
within a few days had returned with 
the entire amount, and the new life 
he started on when he was reinstated 
in his former position. He contrasted 
this to the “world” before this boy if 
he had been thrown down and put in 
the clutches of the law instead of be- 
ing dealt with as he was. 
The lecture was, withal, one of the 
best of the series. Dr. Berle is no 
stranger to Manchester audiences and 
his talk was therefore all the more 
enjoyed. He has made a deep study 
of brain development and along phil- 
osophical lines. He is a man of wide 
knowledge and wonderful versatality. 
It was rather, an en-

Valentine & Leach have ordered a 
Ford delivery auto which will be de-

If some of our readers could be in 
the vicinity of the railroad station 
when the 7 o'clock train from Boston 
pulls in every morning they would be 
amazed at the small army of men that 
leave the train and start on their way 
along Beach street toward Smith’s 
Point. It is a regular procession. 
Fully 150 men may be seen. ‘The 
principal work that draws these work- 
men is the George R. White job, 
where artisans and mechanics of 
nearly every kind in the building 
trade, is employed. Scores of towns- 
men are also employed there. In fact, 
any Manchester man that wants a job 
there may obtain work, we are given 
to understand. ‘There is no cause for 
anyone being without work at the 
present time.

ATHLETIC EXHIBITION AT GLOUCESTER 
About 100 boxing fans from Man- 
chester, Magnolia and Beverly Farms 
will journey to Gloucester on next 
Monday night to see the boxing mat- 
ches which are being conducted ‘!_ere 
under the auspices of the Gloucester 
Social and Athletic club. They are 
sure to be in for a treat, as the bouts 
are between some of the best men in 
New England at the present time. 
In the main bout of 10 rounds Joe 
Chick the fighting Portuguese of Fall 
River will meet Kid Mercier of Law- 
rence for the welterweight champion- 
ship of New England. This is sure 
to be a great fight as both men are 
sluggers, and there will be plenty of 
action from the tap of the first gong. 
In the semi-final brings together 
that sterling performer Tommy Mur- 
ray of Lynn and Young Larabee of. 
Biddeford, Me. They will meet at 
118 pounds. 
The preliminary is between Billy 
Jackson and Jack Hurley. These are 
heavy men and there will certainly be 
some heavy hitting and very clever 
work by this pair.
