NORTH SHORE: BREEZE 
13 
from Magnolia.. The order was sent 
out, however, in an exciting moment 
by the engineer of the steamer, who | 
has no authority in such matters. 
James Hoare, chief engineer, the only 
one who has authority to call for help, 
had no knowledge of the order, he 
says, until the Beverly Farms engine 
-and hose wagon made its appearance 
on the sceneof the fire. The Magno- 
lia apparatus was stopped just before 
the men-were ready to leave the 
engine house in Magnolia. 
It is a fact worth noting that the 
Beverly Farms apparatus was on hand 
in less than 15 minutes after their 
assistance was called for. Though 
they were not needed, it demonstrates 
the fact that they can be on hand 
quickly whenever an emergency de- 
mands their help. 
The value of the town’s water sup- 
ply and the pressure from the hydrants 
were also clearly demonstrated Mon- 
day morning, when the engine was not 
called upon to add force to the stream. 
The loss will be greatly felt by Mr. 
Callahan, who has for some months 
been preparing for a busy season at 
the Manchester House. He has just 
expended almost $1,500 on remodeling 
the interior of the building. Painters, 
frescoers and carpenters have been 
working at the house for two months, 
making extensive improvements. New 
carpets had been laid, the rooms 
have been painted and newly papered, 
and the house wired for electricity. 
The place wil] be fixed up again, 
though, right away. The old roof will 
be taken away and practically another 
story will be added. Mr. Callahan 
thinks the house will be ready to open 
by the second week in July.

Miss Lowell of Boston is among the 
late arrivals at Magnolia. 
Next week will see a notable addi- 
tion to the summer colony, as two of 
the hotels will open fur the season at 
that time. On the 15th the Aborn 
will welcome its first guests for the 
season, and the following day the 
Hesperus will throw open its doors 
for anothersummer. Men have been 
at work atall the hotels, putting them 
in readiness for the summer, and not- 
withstanding the dull weather the 
bookings have been very good. With 
good weather next week a large num- 
ber of arrivals is expected. The 
grounds surrounding these houses 
have been beautified by the setting 
out of many flowering plants, and 
present a most attractive appearance. 
This is also true of the New Magnolia, 
where large numbers of flowers add 
materially to the beauty of the lawns. 
The Magnolia will not open until the 
25th. 
A new attraction at Magnolia this 
summer will be the advent of a branch 
station of the Park Riding school of 
Boston. Mr. Taylor, riding master at 
the school, will be at Moulton’s stable 
after June 14 with several fine saddle 
horses, and will give riding and driving 
lessons to any who care to indulge in 
this recreation during the summer. 
The Park Riding school is too well 
known to need any comment here. 
Though this will be the first season at 
Magnolia, it has been for many years 
located on Ipswich street, Boston, 
where it has been largely patronized 
by the smart set of the Hub.
