798 ARTHUR TRACY CABOT. 



gave close attention to those who asked his opinion or ad\-ice. He 

 was fond of horses and^ a good judge of them, played polo and rode to 

 hounds. No form of boating was foreign to him. Tennis, golf and 

 the like he enjoyed and played when he could get time and opportunity. 

 His vacations were mostly spent in hunting and fishing trips from 

 Florida to Canada, and as far as the Rockies. Shortly before his 

 death he sold his interest in the Long Point Ducking Club, probably 

 the best in the country, and devoted the proceeds to the purchase and 

 maintenance of land in Canton, his legal residence, as a playground 

 for the town. 



Combining harmoniously and in a high degree intelligence, sound 

 judgment, courage both moral and physical, sense of duty, manual 

 dexterity and mechanical skill, he de^'0ted his powers to the service of 

 others, with small thought of pecuniary return. For him to give was, 

 indeed, more blessed than to receive. He was, in truth, a noble 

 gentleman, a conspicuous example of a man born in high social posi- 

 tion, with means sufficient to tempt a less ardent nature to idleness, 

 but serving only to carry him to fields of great usefulness and public 

 serWce. He taught us how to live, and, again, how to face disease and 

 death with cheerful fortitude. 



He is surxived by his widow, Susan, daughter and only child of the 

 late George O. Shattuck, a leader of the Suffolk Bar.
