THE RAMBLER 
In Gloucester the request came in 
from one of our subscribers to repair 
his line as soon as possible, stating 
that he was unable to get central. 
Upon sending the trouble man to make 
the necessary repairs it was found 
that the bowsprit of a fishing vessel 
had torn away his loop and one sect- 
ion of line. Merely one case of the 
many, located on the water front, 
where lines and loops are constructed 
over the water as the best and most 
accessible means of reaching a sub- 
scriber.—N. E. ein Topics. 
Fishermen are elated over the fact 
that mackerel have thus early been 
sighted to the south of Cape Charles. 
That’s fine for the fishermen, but the 
consumer is hoping to sight the price 
down where the average man can feel 
free to buy them without feeling ex- 
travagant. The day when the fish 
peddler went about the streets crying 
tention was on the street a few days 
ago and came from New Hampshire. 
As the season progresses, from now 
on, the out-of-state cars will undoubt- 
edly multiply rapidly, until as in last 
summer, almost every state in the 
“Mackerel, two for a quarter,” is now 
but a pleasant memory.

There may have been many for- 
eign or out-of-state cars in town of 
late, but the first one to attract my at- 
union will be represented. The North 
Shore, with its abundance of natural 
beauty, is the magnet that attracts 
them to this section. — Salem News.

The telephone company is severely 
criticised by people who apparently 
imagine that no effort is made to 
make the service satisfactory. That is 
an error. The company expends 
thousands annually for the purpose of 
i~proving the instruments and _per- 
fecting the service, but the telephone 
is a delicate affair and there are 
thousands of ways to put it out of 
commission. Besides, users are often 
impatient, so they resent even a few 
second’s delay. 
ATTRACTIVE CARD FOR GLOUCESTER 
ATHLETIC CLuB MEET 
The boxing: fans:of Manchester and 
Beverly Farms are in for another 
treat next Tuesday evening. At the 
City hall in Gloucester the manage- 
ment ot the Gloucester Social and 
Aitletic club will) stage an excellent 
card, and they certainly made a ten 
strike when they secured the services 
ot Joe Ritchie, better known as Young 
Jasper, and Eddie Flynn, the sensa- 
uional Lynn lightweight. The boys 
are scheduled to box ten rounds to a 
decision and as both boys:have records 
of testing some of the top notches a 
good fast bout should’ be the result. 
jasper is the only mam who ever beat 
Joe Chick, and as Flynn and Jasper 
have boxed two draws, it is a toss up 
who will be returned.the winner. Their 
last bout at Lowell, was one of the 
best ever staged by the big club, and 
one that will be remembered by those 
who witnessed it. A large delega- 
tion will undoubtedly turn out to see 
it. 
The semi-final brings together Ed- 
die Ladeaux of Beverly and TL :mic 
Dorris of Cambridge. Dorris is the 
National 128-pound champion and 
should give Ladeaux a lot of trouble. 
Eddie is boxing in good form and as 
the members know that he is a grand 
performer there should be action 
throughout the whole six rounds. 
The preliminary is sure to be full 
of fire works as the management have 
rematched Billy Jackson and Jack 
Hurley. They will meet at the 165 
pound weight. Everything taken into 
consideration, it is a good card and 
all those members who attend will be 
well paid for their presence. 
May Run ’Bus LINE: To MAn- 
CHESTER 
Plans for the inauguration of a mo- 
tor *bus passenger line between Bev- 
erly and Beverly Farms were discuss- 
ed at a meeting of the Retail Trades 
committee of the Beverly Board of 
Trade Monday evening and from the 
developments of the meeting the open- 
ing of such a line has been practically 
assured. 
The plan is to run the car on hourly 
trips between the car station on Cabot 
street, Beverly, and Central square at 
the Farms and if the venture proves 
successful the line may be continued 
to Manchester. The business end of 
the matter is being taken up: by the 
committee and if present plans mater- 
ialize the line will be in commission 
by the middle of May.

“THE CHOCOLATE SOLDIER.” 
“The Chocolate Soldier,” still the 
conquering hero in the vast army of 
light operas that assail the American 
and European theatres will be the at- 
traction at the Colonial ‘heatre be- 
ginning Monday evening, April 14, 
for a limited engagement. It is no 
idle boast to predict that the throng 
of admirers who come to greet him 
will be fully as great as in other cities, 
for the charming warrior never wears 
out his welcome. 
The superb operatic mixture of 
Viennese melodies and Celtic wit and 
satire, with Bulgarian scenes, man- 
ners and customs forming a splendid 
background of romance, is the work 
of Oscar Straus, the composer of 
Vienna, and Bernard Shaw, the Irish 
wit and playwright, from whose ro- 
mantic satire, “Arms and the Man,” 
the libretto of “The Chocolate Sol- 
dier” is derived. It is chiefly the mu- 
sic which has given the opera its re- 
1arkable reputation. Such melodies 
as “My Hero,” the waltz-refrain 
which is the dominant theme of the 
entrancing score, ‘“The Letter Song,” 
“That Would be Lovely,” and “The 
Chocolate Soldier” are still monopo- 
lizing the memories of thousands.
