THE FOURTH ON THE NORTH SHORE 
Horse Racing and Jumping at Beverly Farms 
in which the Summer Colony Take Part 
Proved an Enjoyable Feature of the Cele- 
bration—Fireworks in the Evening. 
At Beverly Farms this year an ex- 
cellent program was carried out in 
connection with the Fourth of July 
celebration. From 8 o’clock in the 
morning till after 6 at night there was 
hardly a moment there was not some- 
thing going on in connection with the 
official program. 
Here, more than in any other part 
of the North Shore, the summer con- 
tingent enter into the celebration, and 
they were very much in evidence 
Wednesday, not only as spectators, 
but as participants. 
Crowds turned out for the events, 
and in the afternoon every train 
brought people from out of town, the 
number being climaxed in the evening, 
when the fireworks at West Beach 
was the centre of attention. 
The horse and pony racing and 
jumping was easily the most interest- 
ing part of the day’s program, the 
latter being a new feature this year. 
But from its success it is safe to say 
the jumping will occupy a place on 
next year’s program. 
In the morning, from 8.30 to 10.30, 
the ball game at Tweed’s field was 
the feature. This was between the 
Hardy Club and the Yannigans, and 
was won by the former, 18 to 9. Dur- 
ing the game a few of the sports were 
run off. 
After lunch the scene changed to 
Central square, where the dashes for 
boys and girls, potato races and bicy- 
cle races attracted quitea crowd. The 
crowd went to West Beach at 3 oclock, 
where the remaining sports were run 
off and the horse and pony events took 
place. 
“Brown Dick,” ridden by Mr. 
Leach, took the blue in the pony 
race, being closely seconded by Reg- 
inald Fitz’s pony, ridden by Briar

Despite Showers of the Morning Crowds Wit- 
ness the Water Sports and Races at Man- 
chester—T he Illumination in the Evening a 
Pretty Feature of the Day. 
That it takes more than rain to 
keep the eagle from screaming in 
Manchester was very evident on the 
Fourth, for the showers of the early 
part of the day did not sufficiently 
dampen the ardor of Young America 
to keep him in doors and to keep his 
fireworks from making a noise. Though 
the “night before,” perhaps, was not 
so noisy as usual, there was plenty of 
noise to keep the people in the centre 
of the town awake, and all day long 
there was a constant noise from fire- 
crackers and revolvers. 
The feature of the day’s celebration 
provided by the committee, which had 
been appointed in town meeting for 
the purpose, was the electrical illumi- 
nation in the evening. Though this 
was not carried out on a very large 
scale, the centre of the town was 
aglow with electric lights, and the 
inner harbor was also illuminated to 
some extent. This proved an innova- 
tion which everybody liked, and took 
the place of the rather meagre fire- 
works display which is usually offered. 
From a tree in the centre of the 
Common a number of streamers were 
carried to various points on the Com- 
mon, and there were lines of electric 
lights at other parts of the Square 
also. A circle of 72 lights hung be- 
tween the town hall and the band 
stand, and stars hung on the front of 
the hall and the church, respectively. 
The band stand was also draped in 
lights, and outside this there were 
private displays, including that on 
Lee’s block, Rowe’s block, the Man- 
chester House, over Beaton’s store, 
and Floyd’s.
