=="KRBELLA CONCERT 
- Opsratic Numpers DeticHt AUDI- 
ENCE AT SECOND CONCERT OF 
SERIES. 
Operatic music was the subject of 
| the brief lecture by Leland Hall as a 
' preliminary. to.the, second concert otf 
‘the season’s Arbella series in Man- 
~ chester Town hall 
last’ Saturday 
afternoon. Mr. Hall touched on 
development of the Opera and its 
influence upon other music. Its evolu- 
tion has given us the beautiful sym- 
phonies, the oratorios and our finest 
orchestral music, he said. ' 
Bits of various operas were given 
py the “singers, who | furnished the 
program, and Mr. Hall supplied the 
“setting in each case and gave enter- 
- taining bits of history connected with 
the selections. 
Wallace E. Cox, who delighted the 
Arbella audience last season with his 
impersonation of the clown in the 
prologue to “Pagliacci” by Leon- 
- cavallo, and with his wonderful sing- 
ing of negro melodies was again a 
 favorite.. In his aria from the “Mask- 
‘ed Ball” and in his duet from “Sam- 
* son and Delilah” with Miss Dorothy 
» Cook he -was particularly effective. 
» Miss Cook and Miss Edith Woodman 
_ were charming in the little duet from 
» “Hanzel 
and Gretchen” and Miss 
Woodman was appreciated in her 
aria, ‘“Goyescas” by Granados, the 
Spanish composer who met his death 
when the Sussex. was torpedoed in 
“the English channel by a German 
- submarine. 
-bered for her excellent performance 
Miss Cook was remem- 
in the concerts last season and her 
voice and personality in Saturday’s 
program made her secure in the place 
she won in the hearts of her Man- 
-chester audience last season. 
Mrs. Charles A. White, was accom- 
panist to Misses Cook and Woodman 
and her. perfect execution of the difh- 
cult movements in several of the

“Closed every Wednesday after- 
noon until April.” This is the sign 
that meets everybody’s eyes in nearly 
all the store windows about Manches- 
ter. The “lid” is on for fair Wednes- 
day afternoons. Butcher, grocer, 
baker, cobbler—all are closed for the 
afternoon. Some facetiously inclined 
individual even hung one of the signs 
on the police station door. The only 
places open in town Wednesday after- 
noon were the postoffice, BREEzE of- 
fice, chinese laundry and railroad sta- 
tion, and the last named did more 
business than on any day since mid- 
summer. They have one thing to be 
thankful for, anyway—they do a 
strictly cash business, and that’s more 
than any other concern in town can 
say, except the postoffice and the 
bank. 
Cae” Seen 
Over one hundred years ago, in 
1807, Eppes, of Virginia, President 
Jefferson’s son-in-law, said in Con- 
gress: “If there is any principle 
which ought to be hooted at in a Re- 
publican government, it is that to pre- 
serve. peace we should be prepared 
for war. Sir, it is this very prin- 
ciple which is the source of all the 
miseries of Europe.”

may have been a necessary adjunct to 
the institutions of the town, but in 
late years, since Manchester’s grad- 
uation from the rural village to the 
summer resort class its existence has 
been all but forgotten. All but—for

voters never neglect to duly elect and 
authorize in the performance of his 
duties—a poundkeeper. Neither are 
those time-honored officers, the field 
drivers, forgotten on town meeting 
day, even if they are for the rest of 
the year. What their duties have 
been in the past we know not, but 
list! Last Saturday, clothed in the 
full dignity of their offices, Hollis 
Bell and John Gray, field drivers, and 
Raymond Crocker, the poundkeeper, 
stalked a lone cow, whose grazing 
habits were not pleasing to certain 
residents of Pleasant st. Assisted by 
Officer Bullock they rounded up 
“Bossy” and led her to the pound. 
With the aid of sundry pieces of wire 
and a lock borrowed from a garage 
the cow was confined to the enclosure 
for a few hours until her owner paid 
for her release. The cow, which be- 
longed to an Essex road family had 
preferred the late garden products of 
the neighbors to the fodder provided 
Ly the owner.
