WHISPERINGS 
The first sleighs of the winter were 
out-in Manchester Thursday morning. 
A. C, Hooper was out with a light 
sleigh in the early morning, and one 
of Ayer Bros.’ ice pungs was taken 
over the Smith’s Point route. The 
rain, however, soon put a stop to what 
poor sleighing there might have been.

Many of our early risers in Man- 
chester witnessed a rare sight one 
morning this week, when they saw the 
steed of our genial Superintendent 
of Streets come tearing down School 
street, hitched to the wagon, but with- 
out ‘*coachman”’ or owner holding 
the reins It appears that ‘* Dannie ”’ 
had harnessed the horse, and the 
animal, thinking that it had waited 
about long enough to start on its day’s 
work, left the stable on North street 
where it is kept. Down North street, 
into School and thence around Town 
hill back to the stable it went, without 
getting even a scratch on the vehicle. 
Maybe the animal wanted to “ warm 
up” a little.. Possibly we will hear 
later that Mr. Kimball has sold the 
horse to the managers of Wonderland, 
to be used the coming season as a 
trick racer. 
Real Estate 
Ground was broken Wednesday by 
Messrs. Connolly Bros., upon the 
estate of Allen Curtis on Oak street, 
Beverly Farms, for foundations and 
other work incidenta] to the erection 
of a cottage house, which in architec- 
ture will be upon the same lines as 
Mr Curtis’ own residence and other 
structures already built. Messrs. J. 
T. Wilson & Son of Nahant, and 
Frank E. Burnham of Essex are the 
other contractors. 
The contract has been awarded this 
week to Messrs. Connolly Bros., for 
work upon the stable alterations and 
improvements at Miss A. G. Thayer’s, 
West Manchester. The work con- 
sists in part of raising the structure 
three feet, building new foundations, 
concreting, raising the area of the 
stable yard in front, including retain- 
ing walls. There is also to be a new 
system of drainage installed. Chester 
L. Crafts of Manchester has the con- 
tract for the wood work. 
This week’s real estate transfers 
records the ‘transferring of land, 
147x538 5 feet, and buildings on West 
street, Beverly Farms, from Andrew 
C. Wheelwright to Neal Rantoul. It 
is understood Mr. Rantoul buys for 
his own occupancy and wil] soon start 
to make many alterations and im- 
proyements, all to be finished in time 
for early spring.
