Odd Fellows Elected 
At a meeting of Magnolia lodge,

these officers were elected: Frank A. 
Rowe, noble grand; Charles E. Wil- 
liams, vice grand; Arthur E. Olson, 
recording ‘secretary ; Henry Bingham, 
fin. -secretary ;., Kdward »A;; Eane; 
treasurer:W oC Rusts re on 
lam and Horace Standley, trustees for 
three years. 
An important feature in this con- 
nection was the refusal of W. J. John- 
son to accept the nomination as sec- 
retary again, after a great many years 
service. Mr. Bingham was elected 
financial secretary for the 25th con- 
° 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
secutive year and E. A. Lane was 
elected treasurer for the 14th year. 
The initiation degree was worked 
on one candidate at the meeting, after 
which the members adjourned to the 
banquet hall where the entertainment 
committee had provided an inviting 
collation, C. O. Howe, chef. A de- 
lightful graphophone concert was 
given by W. W. Hoare. 
MANCHESTER 
Miss Cora Howe was home from 
Boston for Christmas. Miss Howe 
has recently been with the “College 
Widow” company at the Tremont 
theatre, and is practicing now for the 
“Ben Hur’? company which opens in 
the Boston theatre in February. 
Frank Towle, an uncle of Miss Howe, 
is manager of this company. 
The cantata and Christmas tree in 
the Town hall last evening under the 
direction of Rev. Fr. Powers of the 
Sacred Heart church brought the 
Christmas festivities to a most pleas- 
ant end. The hall was well filled and 
the entertainment furnished by the 
children was greatly enjoyed, as was 
also the work of Dudley Prescott, the 
well-known humorist and mimic, who 
kept the audience in a constant roar of 
laughter. The cantata represented 
the home of Santa Claus, with the 
“ fairies’’ helping Mrs. Santa to get 
things ready for the festive day, and 
in the illness of Saint Nick a substi- 
tute was advertised for. A number of 
applications were made, including 
“Jack Frost’’ (Chas. Marsh), the 
“Sand Man” (Nelson Wood), and 
the ‘ Business Proposition’ (James 
Brown). None would do, so Mrs. 
Santa (Annie Francis) undertook the 
task, only to distribute the presents to 
the wrong ones, through the mischiev- 
ousness of the ‘‘ Brownies.” Santa 
himself finally appeared and straight- 
ened things out. Candy was dis- 
tributed from the tree after the enter- 
tainment. Prior to this little Miss 
Ruth O’Brien stepped apon the stage 
and presented Fr. Powers with a bas- 
ket of flowers, in which there was also 
a substantial purse of gold from the 
Sunday school, which was presented 
with a cute little speech. 
The election of officers at the 
Rebekahs occurred last evening. The 
initiatory degree was also worked. 
Liberty Rebekah lodge last evening

Knight, v. grand; Mrs. A.E. Hersey, 
rec. sec ; Miss Annabel Haraden, fin. 
secy. ; Miss Alice Haraden, treas. ; 
R. Allen, trustee for 3 years. The

erly, made an official visit. 
It was announced yesterday that 
hee 
the suit, the Town of Manchester vs. 
Frederick Burnham, brought in con- 
nection with the falling in of the wall 
on Arbella street, near Mr. Burn- 
ham’s gravel pit, had been lost by the 
town. No particulars can be given in 
this issue. 
The Haphazard club will meet next 
Monday evening with Dr. R. T. Glen- 
dening.

isa guest of Mrs. S. A. Parsons on 
School street. 
Chaulk--Lethbridge 
The wedding of two Manchester 
young people, Adam Chaulk and Miss 
Rebecca Lethbridge, the latter a 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard 
Lethbridge, Brook street, was sol- 
emnized in Cambridge on Christmas 
day by a Methodist clergyman at that 
place. Miss Bessie A. Lethbridge, a 
cousin of the bride, and A. John Cool 
were the attendants. Mr. and Mrs. 
Chaulk will make their home for the 
present with the bride’s parents.

G.A.R. pitch tournament which was

ished, were played off in G.A.R. hall 
on Thursday evening, resulting in 
Joshua Younger and Stephen J. Con- 
nolly winning in the G.A.R. class; E. 
Fred Day and F. Leslie Woodbury in 
the class for Associates. Some one 
hundred games were played by each 
pair in the contest which was exceed- 
ingly interesting all through. Silver 
cups, suitably engraved, will be given 
as prizes. A new tournament will be 
started in a week or two, to run 
through the winter months. 
At the Baptist church Monday 
evening was given the usual Christ-
