Mortimer B. Mason and_ family 
moved down to their estate on Smith’s 
Point, Wednesday. 
Mrs. W. Scott Kitz is among the 
cottage arrivals of the past few days. 
She will have with her at her Smith’s 
Point residence for the summer, her son 
and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. 
Holmes. Mr. Holmes, by the way, 
will be one of the Harvard ’95 men who 
will serve as ushers at the marriage on 
Monday, June 8, in Trinity Chapel, 
New York, of Stoughton Bell of Cam- 
bridge, and Miss Mabel Lewis. 
At the Hotels. 
The Aborn cottage is now open at 
Magnolia. The Aborn hotel proper is 
booked to open June 1. Mrs. Carney 
has been on hand for several weeks 
getting things in readiness and Manager 
Remick is also on hand. The hotel and 
cottages have an excellent booking for 
the season. 
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Ernst of Cincin- 
nati, who have spent their summers at 
the Aborn for the past three years, are 
expected next week for the season. 
Manager Phenix is now spending: all 
his time at the Oceanside getting the 
hotel ready to openon Saturday, June 13. 
Practically the only change made in the 
interior of the house this year is in the 
arrangement of the office. ‘This has 
been moved from its old position on the 
eastern side of the house to the opposite 
side, and several small rooms lead from 
this side of the house which are to be 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
used as private offices for the manager, 
assistant manager, etc. 
This change leaves an unobstructed 
passage from the main entrance of the 
hotel through the main lobby, to the par- 
lor on the opposite side of the building. 
Formerly the office projected into this 
passage. [The office will be much 
larger, too, and will be exposed on three 
sides. 
Leading off the office is a private room 
for the bookkeeper, 21 by 16 feet, away 
from the noise of the lobby, and between 
this office and the lobby are two large 
closets for stationery and _ supplies. 
‘There is a small office for Mr. Eades, 
the assistant manager, and one also for 
the public stenographer, who heretofore 
has had a desk in the open lobby. Mr. 
Phenix’ office leads off this. 
Another improvement made since last 
season which will be greatly appreciated 
this year, is a new freight elevator, which 
runs in a tower built on the outside of the 
building, running to all floors.  Pre- 
viously the freight and passenger elevators 
were combined. 
The work is being hustled along, 
twelve mechanics being employed in the 
ofice improvements Wednesday, in 
charge of J. H. Wilkins. 
Mr. Phenix says he has an excellent 
booking for the summer. 
In Yachting Circles.

season’s races for the Quincy cup, chal- 
lenges having been received from the

of clubs to challenge for this trophy since 
it came into existence more than 10 years 
ago. With the fastest sonder class boat 
of each club entered in the match for 
the cup the races at Marblehead the week 
of August 17 should be very interesting. 
None of the clubs has named the boat 
that it will enter for the trophy; the 
boats do not have to be named until the 
day before the first race.
