attraction to most of the veterans 
who will march “as long as they can 
drag one leg after the other.” He 
said that he went the entire length of 
‘the line of march during the parade 
and tried to induce some of the 
feebler marchers to drop out of line 
and succeeded in getting just one man 
to give up. Referring to the sacri- 
fices of the men of ’61 to ’65 he con- 
strasted the hardships with which 
they contended to the “pleasure 
jaunt” of the National Guard to the 
Mexican Border. He said the boys 
on the border were complaining of 
their hard fare, but quoted a letter he 
had received from a man on the 
border, who said he had cereal for 
breakfast and iced tea for dinner. 
The memory of “salt horse” and 
hardtack made the veterans 
Alfred S. Jewett, patriotic instructor 
of Allen Post, 67 of Manchester, wel- 
comed the association on hehalf of 
the town. Past Department Com- 
mander G. C. Fiske of Ashley com- 
mented upon the recent national en- 
campment in Kansas City. He said 
that the city appropriated $16,000 for 
the G. A. R. encampment while $8o,- 
000 was the sum appropriated for a 
bankers convention. He declared 
that Massachusetts would show. the 
country the proper spirit when it en- 
tertains the national encampment in 
3oston next year. Francis M. Stan- 
wood of Manchester eulogized U. 5S. 
Grant. Mrs. Carrie Loring spoke of 
the letters “G. A. R.” which have 
stood so long for Grand Army of the 
Republic. She said they were taking 
a newer meaning, ‘Guardians of 
American Rights,” while “good all 
round” was not an inappropriate title 
to give the organization. Jr. Vice- 
Dept. Com. Edwin P. Stanley spoke 
briefly and Charles La Grand of Phil. 
Sheridan Post 34 of Salem also ad- 
dressed the gathering. 
The Essex County association com- 
prises 25 G. A. R. posts and has the 
following officers: Thomas Swasey, 
Marblehead, president; John R. Mer- 
ritt, Swampscott, vice-president; John 
A. Wright, Beverly,. secretary; W. 
H. Brown, Marblehead, treasurer. 
Magestic THEATRE, Boston. 
After an unprecedented week’s 
business, “Where Are My Children?” 
has made eleventh-hour arrangements 
to continue to show at the Majestic 
one more week, and this in spite of 
the fact thaé this incomparable pic- 
ture has already tarried here nearly 
three months. It is apparent that the 
3oston public still includes a few who 
have not yet seen the film, or, having 
seen it once, are determined to see it 
again before it quits the city.

WENHAM 
Wenham’s summer season culmin- 
ated on Labor Day, with throngs of 
people present in town. The Camp 
Meeting seems like a Wenham insti- 
tution because it is reached through 
the village. It was certainly popular 
this year. The Myopia grounds are 
partly in Wenham—the horse-show 
attracted the usual crowds this year. 
At the Wenham golf grounds a large 
number of enthusiasts were engaged 
in their favorite sport. The tea 
house had one of the most successful 
days in a_ record-breaking season, 
while the old tea-room (now a handi- 
craft shop for the Dennison Settle- 
ment) was also well patronized. Idle- 
wood was likewise the goal of many 
visitors. 
Unfortunately some cottage-owners 
at Idlewood are not careful in letting 
their property, with the result that 
undesirable people get in. Wenham’s 
small, but efficient police force has re- 
cently proved that the town is no safe 
place for law-breakers. But it is too 
bad that raids should be necessary. 
Faithful workers have maintained 
the class for surgical dressings during 
the summer, and are still meeting in 
the Bush house for this charitable 
and patriotic purpose. In the same 
building the sewing school of the Vil- 
lage Improvement society held its ses- 
sions this year. 
Wenham scouts have made a vig- 
orous beginning of their session. An 
indoor meeting. was- held last week, 
and a hike on Tuesday of this week. 
The hike took the boys to the fine 
woodland belonging to E. B. Cole, at 
Wenham Neck. At the monthly 
meeting of the committee Roscoe 
Brooks was admitted to the first class 
in scoutcraft, and Milner Batchelder 
and Joseph Marini to the tenderfoot 
class. Brooks also won merit badges 
in craftsmanship, signaling and swim- 
ming, while Norman Hilyard received 
a merit badge in swimming. Today 
(Sept. 22) Sergt. Harry M. White of 
the U. S. Army will visit Wenham 
for the purpose of instructing the 
scouts in map-making. 
Rival “sides” in the C. E. soeiety 
are vying with each other in conduct- 
ing social events, and earning money. 
Tomorrow the Endeavorers hold a 
harvest sale and entertainment, man- 
aged by Miss Helen Trott. The 
Juniors, under the efficient superin- 
tendency of Miss Grace E. Glavin, 
opened their year’s work with an en- 
joyable picnic at Wenham lake. 
A very pleasing improvement has 
taken place in the church music. Mr. 
Allen, the organist and choir-master, 
has organized a large chorus choir, 
with excellent results. He has effi- 
cient support from the church music 
committee, and from musical people 
generally. This is an improvement 
which must be heard in order to he 
appreciated. The church has also 
prepared a printed program of de- 
partment work for the ensuing hal 
year. 
Sunday, at noon, the Sunday 
School, under Supt. Albert A. Tracy, 
will hold a genuine “commencement 
exercise,” with promotions, gradu- 
ations, exhibitions, and all that ac- 
companies a commencement. Parents 
and friends are cordially invited to 
attend. 
Wenham’s public schools begin 
their year with fine promise. A jun- 
ior high school has been organized, 
under Mr. Ward, Miss Blossom and 
Miss Enslin; and the pupils are find- 
ing new and unexpected interest in 
their work. 
CopLEy-PLAzA MUSICALES. 
W. R. Macdonald, formerly busi- 
ness manager of the Boston Opera 
Company and business manager of 
the 1915 season of Pavlowa opera in 
Boston, has practically completed ar- 
rangements. for the second series of 
Copley-Plaza Musicales, of which he 
will have sole direction, and which 
give promise of providing music fol- 
lowers with the most unusual recitals 
Boston has had. 
There will be eight musicales in 
the series, and this season they will 
take place Tuesday afternoons, at 
3.15, on the following dates: Decem- 
ber 5 and 19, January 2 and 16, Feb- 
ruary 6 and 20, March 6 and 20. 
They will be given in the ballroom of 
the Copley-Plaza hotel. A large 
number of subscriptions has already 
been received, although Manager 
Macdonald has but recently opened 
the subscription lists at his office in 
the Steinert Hall building, Boston,
