Manchester is proud of its Masco- 
nomo Park. The tract of land on the 
harbor side of Beach st. has been 
developed into one of the finest muni- 
cipal parks in any place of Manches- 
ter’s size. The possibilities of further 
developing the land lying between 
Beach st. and Proctor st., bordering 
Manchester harbor, are unusual. <A 
large portion of the land adjoining 
the park has been generously offered 
to the town, conditional upon its being 
developed for park purposes. The 
problem presented to the town is one 
of filling the lowlands immediately 
adjoining the park. But that was the 
problem that faced the Park Board 
when it began the development of 
Masconomo Park. Little by little the 
land was reclaimed and the same work 
can be done on the proposed addition. 
One of the desirable features of tak- 
ing over the adjoining land is the in- 
clusion in the plan of a road leading 
directly from Beach st. to Proctor st., 
saving a considerable distance for peo- 
ple living in that part of the town. 
The proposed road would be an ex- 
tension of Old Neck Road and would 
be bordered by the pretty park.

At least one young lady in Man- 
chester has been converted to a belief 
in the value of advertising. Several 
weeks ago she lost her pocket-book 
containing a sum of money. With 
little hope of recovering the lost arti- 
cle after a lapse of more than a month 
she inserted an advertisement among 
the Classified columns of the BREEZE 
Jast week. A few days later the 
pocket-book was brought to the 
BreEzE office by Town Clerk Alfred 
S. Jewett, who had found it, and re- 
stored to the owner.

ARE HOPEFUL 
Minit1A Boys On BorpdER LOOKING 
Forwarp to HOMECOMING. 
The following personal letter from 
a Manchester boy with the National 
Guard on the Mexican border tells of 
the anticipation with which the 
militia ren are looking for the orders 
to entrain for home: 
“Fl Paso, Texas, Sept. 22, 
“Editor North Shore Breeze: 
“Our time seems to be getting lim- 
ited down here on the border. At 
any rate, we hope so. Everybody is 
so sure of breaking camp at any min- 
ute’s notice; but they might fool us 
and keep us down here. Just to show 
you how quickly they issue orders: 
The Rhode Island troops were order- 
ed to go to the target range. After 
they were there for one day they got 
orders to entrain for home at once. 
We are anxiously waiting for those 
orders. They can’t come too quickly 
to please us. 
“On Sept. roth it was our Sunday 
to sleep. We don’t have to get up 
and can sleep as late as we wish, but 
it we don’t get up we don’t get break- 
fast. To go on with my story—we 
were called up at 5.15 and got orders 
for heavy marching order. We were 
some surprised when they packed us 
all in four auto trucks and took us 
about 15 miles away from Camp Cot- 
ton. When we arrived we saw a lot 
of Mexican huts and wondered what 
we were up against. 
that we were going to be moving pic- 
ture actors. Half of us were dressed 
up as Mexicans and the other hali 
were still American soldiers. We 
were painted up and had some mis- 
placed eyebrows (mustaches) on our 
faces. We were given some old 
Springfield rifles and 100 rounds. of 
blank cartridges. We had a regular 
battle. The picture was taken by the 
Fox Film Co. of New York. That is 
the nearest we will come to a battle 
while we are down here.

Manchester, : : Mass, 
monstrous parade, with 27,000 men 
in line, composed of soldiers located 
in or around the El Paso district. We 
started at 7.30 a. m. and got back at 
7 p.m. We marched about ten miles 
to Fort Bliss and were reviewed by 
army officials from El Paso. ‘There 
were infantry, artillery, cavalry and 
the hospital corps in line. The parade 
was 20 miles long and took five hours 
to pass the reviewing stand. We 
were taken back to camp in army 
trucks. We have our weekly Satur- 
day inspection tomorrow and let us 
hope that it will be our last down 
here. All ‘the boys from Manchester 
are in fine condition.
