MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Next week will be a busy week for 
society on the North Shore, with 
tennis, boat racing and golf to occupy 
the attention of the smart set. Mon- 
day the ladies’ tennis tournament, in 
singles and doubles, will start at the 
Essex County club, and the last three 
days of the week the open golf tourna- 
ment will be held on the County club 
links. Monday and Tuesday, also, 
the Manchester Yacht club will hold 
their open and Crowhurst cupyraces, 
respectively. 
The week past has been a rather 
quiet one in point of social functions. 
Though there have been scores of in- 
formal dinners and luncheons all along 
the shore, there has been nothing of 
a public nature save the Wednesday 
afternoon concert at the club, and the 
two recitals, both of which were well 
patronized by the society set. 
Last Saturday the baseball game 
between the County club and Nahant 
nines drew out quite a number of the 
smart set. The Manchester brass 
band diffused music from the tennis 
court nearby the diamond, and the 
seats where sat the many enthusiasts 
who were on hand. After the game, 
the band played on the lawn in front 
of the club house, and many of the 
ladies entertained on the piazzas. 
Miss Hetty Sargent has joined her 
family at Coolidge’s Point after a two 
week’s visit with her aunt, Mrs. 
Thomas Newbold (Sarah Coolidge), 
in Newport. 
Mrs. Charles A. Head, who is 
among the most charming entertainers 
on the shore, had covers for fourteen 
at dinner Sunday night, and again, 
later in the week, she entertained a 
party of twelve at an informal dinner.

guests during the week Mr. and Mrs.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 15 
RFERN-CROEFT INN 
This historic old inn is located on the old Boxford Road, in Middleton, near the 
Danvers boundary line. Andrew Nichols, the historian, says it was erected in 1679. Thus 
the present year is the 225th anniversary of its erection. 
Every visitor to the North Shore should include a trip to Fern-Croft, and dinner 
beneath its hospitable roof, a part of his itinerary. It is within easy access of Beverly and 
Manchester, and the drive along the shore to the inn is one of the most pleasant in this 
section. Booklet mailed on request.
