-MANCHESTER TO KINGSTON, N. H,, AFOOT. 
Two Manchester Young Men Emulated \. eston. 
Forty Miles Last Sunday. 
‘*Westonitis’’ has claimed at least 
two victims in Manchester of late. 
Last Sunday Selectman Walter R. 
Bell and brother, Charles E. Bell, 
thought they would pay a visit to 
their parents, who recently moved 
away from Manchester to a farm in 
Kingston, N. H. The following ac- 
count of the trip is given by W. R. 
“7 will endeavor to give you in a 
brief way an account of a stroll that 
my brother Charles and I took last 
Sunday, when we walked every step 
of the: way from our homes on Vine 
street to the home of our parents in 
Kingston, N. H. 
Starting as we did at 5 a. m.,-we 
erossed the Manchester and Hssex 
line at 5.25, and landed in Essex 
eenter at 6.15. When about half- 
way between Hssex and Ipswich we 
were overtaken by Mr. Silva, who, 
being well acquainted with the roads 
in this portion of the state, had 
planned to follow us on his bicycle 
as far as Amesbury. 
“At 8 o’clock we were eating a 
light breakfast in Ipswich (and by 
the way, the chairs, though there 
were no cushions in them, felt quite 
eomfortable). Fifteen minutes later 
we were on the way to Newburyport 
through Rowley. About two miles 
out of Ipswich two young men 
passed us on bicycles with a sign 
on’ their backs marked ‘New’ York, 
May 4.’ Aside from passing a gypsy 
camp there was nothing of any great 
interest, and we pulled into Rowley 
at 9.30. Instead of following the 
ear track to Newburyport we left 
the track in Rowley and went by 
way of Parker River bridge. — In 
crossing the bridge, which was un- 
dergoing repairs, we had to stoop 
under a bar, and it was then quite 
How Memorial Day Will Be Ob- 
- . . gerved in Menchester. 
Allen Post 67, G.eA. R., has com- 
pleted arrangements for the observ- 
ance of Memorial Day on May 30th. 
This year has seen three comrades 
mustered out of service. The duties 
of the remaining members of the G. 
A. R. will be to decorate the grayes 
of 98 soldiers who fought to preserve 
the Union. The veterans will be as- 
sisted by the Sons of Veterans. The 
total membership: of Allen Post is 
now 24, most of whom are well and . 
able to march. The program this 
year will be in general the same as 
Walked More Than 
noticeable that -we were bringing 
some muscles into play that had not 
been used since we were young. 
“It was about three miles from 
Parker River bridge into Newbury- 
port, and while most of the roads 
previously had been gravel, we here 
had a nice macadam road that had 
been treated with tarvia. We found 
this a very pretty section of the city 
and particularly so as the-~ apple 
trees were in full bloom, fully ten 
days ahead of this section. We ar- 
rived in the center of the city at 
11.30, had a light lunch and were 
soon on our way to Amesbury, by 
way of the chain bridge. 
‘‘ After erossing the bridge we 
sat down for the first time, except 
when eating, and put some French » 
ehaulk in our shoes. This we found 
was not a bit out of place. We were 
now off for Amesbury, which we 
reached at 1.50. We here stopped 
15 or 20 minutes, during which time 
I experienced the same sensation 
that Mrs. O’Grady did on her trip 
to Coney Island. 
‘““We were again on our way, on 
the last leg of the journey through 
South Hampton, which borders the 
two states. We crossed the line into 
New Hampshire at 3.15. From here 
on our speed had retarded a great 
deal. While we had previously been 
‘making nearly four miles an hour, 
we were now travelling between two 
and three miles to the hour, going 
through Pow-Wow, which is three 
miles from Kingston, at 5 o’clock. 
At 6.15 we walked into our parents’ 
yard, perfectly satisfied that they 
lived only 40 to 43 miles from Man- 
chester.

A fawn and two good sized doe 
made an interesting picture near 
Chapman’s corner, Beverly Cove, 
Sunday morning. The trio evidently 
came out of the woods across the 
street and were frisking about play- 
fully when discovered by an employe 
of the Dr. H. E. Sears estate. Deer 
have been quite plentiful of late 
along the North Shore and they may 
be seen quite often in the more 
thickly settled part of the towns 
along the shore. Some farmers have 
complained of the damage they have 
done. 
The state highway commissioners 
have prepared their allotments of 
state money to the various cities and 
towns for highway improvements 
during the coming summer. The fol- 
lowing shows the amount allotted to 
each municipality in this vicinity: 
Danvers, $2000; Georgetown, $400 ; 
Groveland, $1000; Hamilton, $5600 ; 
Haverhill-Merrimae, $6600; Ipswich- 
Rowley, $12,000; North Andover, 
$10,000; Salisbury, $12,000; Total, 
$50,100. 
The Ferneroft Inn at Middleton, 
well known all through this section, 
an especially favorite resort for mo- 
torists and for North Shore visitors, 
has been given the one liquor license 
which the town is privileged to 
erant. There has been a deadlock 
among the selectmen between this 
hotel and another in the town, but it 
was finally broken by the choice of 
the Ferneroft. 
A meeting of the members of the 
city and town committees of the 
Republican party will be held in 
Gloucester next Friday, May 20. 
The meeting will include the com- 
mittees of Gloucester, Rockport, 
Manchester and Essex, and will be 
addressed by Hon. Charles EK. Hat- 
field, chairman of the Republican 
state committee, and -Charles E. 
Groves, executive secretary of the 
same body.
