GALA CELEBRATION 
Brver.y Farms Has SusskssFuL 4th 
Independence Day was fittingly cele- 
brated in Beverly Farms with a pa- 
rade of horribles, band concerts, athle- 
tic events, horse racing on the beach 
and a display of fireworks in the even- 
ing. From the time the parade start- 
ed from the depot at about 6.30 in 
the morning until the last rocket had 
soared skyward at the beach in the 
evening there was excitement galore 
for young and old. 
Many faithful and humorous “take- 
_ offs” were included in the roster of 
the horribles parade. Everything from 
a duplication of the Farms police force 
to a bevy of fair suffragettes 
was included in the line-up of freaks 
on parade. The parade was a decid- 
ed hit and hundreds of persons from 
surrounding towns witnessed it. 
The Beverly Farms Athletic club 
baseball team helped to make the 
Fourth celebration successful by de- 
feating the aggregation of ball tossers 
from the Forbes Lithograph Co., of 
Revere by a score of 6 to 1. There 
was an unusually large attendance at 
the game, which took place at Io a. 
m., and the fans were well pleased 
with the work of their battery, Mc- 
Nain and Moriarty. Donovan, Quig- 
ley and John Connolly were “all over 
the lot” and showed up well with the 
stick. | Bro

by Connolly Bros. heretofore used as 
a stable has just undergone consider- 
able interior changes and improve- 
ments. ‘The stalls and partitions have 
been removed making a very large 
floor space. The building has been 
leased to Thos. D. Connolly, 2d, who 
is conducting a public garage there. 
Patrolman Harry S. Monies, who has 
been doing night duty at Pride’s and 
Beverly Farms, has been transferred 
to day work in the city proper in the 
vicinity of the parks on the water 
front. 
Ir SHE WINKED 
“Set down! Set down!” said a cross 
crabbed old man as two saucy little 
urchins stood in front of him at an 
entertainment, “I can’t see er wink.” 
“Aw, go on !”’ cried one of them. ‘‘If 
she winks we'll tell you,” and remained 
where they stood the rest of the even- 
ing.—Exchange.
