NORTH :SHORE BREEZE 
MAGNOLIA. 
The Closing of the Hotels. 
The season at Magnolia, so far as 
the hotels are concerned, is almost 
over. Very few people remain at the 
houses that are still open and before 
another week all will have closed their 
doors for another year. 
The season has not been particu- 
larly lively, as many did not come 
down until late and those who were 
at the shore passed the time very 
quietly. Still, the year could not be 
called unsuccessful by any means, as 
the latter part of the summer has 
seen many very pleasant and brilliant 
socialevents. One feature that has 
been very pleasant this year was the 
introduction of the pop concert in- 
stead of the annual ball at the New 
Magnolia and the Hesperus hotels. 
This proved a very popular innovation 
with the guests at these houses. _ 
In reviewing the summer at differ- 
ent hotels, we would say, that taking 
into consideration the dullness that 
always attends a presidential year, 
and the quietness that has prevailed 
at all summer resorts throughout the 
country, the season at Magnolia has 
been a very successful one. 
New Magnolia. 
At the New Magnolia, while the 
first of the season was very quiet, the 
latter part of the summer was very 
successful in-every way and reflects 
great credit upon those in charge. 
The house has in previous years 
been under varying management and 
had rather run down, so that at the 
beginning of the present summer it 
was necessary to build up an entirely 
new reputation, so to speak. 
This, Mr. Mowry has done to such 
good purpose that the house achieved 
an enviable reputation at Magnolia. 
The concerts given here, especially 
the Sunday night concerts, were 
among the leading social events of the 
year and the Pop concert given 
toward the close of the season was 
unquestionably the most brilliant 
event of the summer at Magnolia. 
In other ways the season here has 
been very sucessful and Mr. Mowry 
and those associated with him deserve 
the highest praise. The fact that 
nearly all who were here this season 
are already booked for the coming 
year, is the strongest testimonial to 
the high reputation that the New 
Magnolia has made for itself this 
year. 
The Hesperus. 
Thomas O. Paige this year manag- 
ed the Hesperus, and it was largely 
due to his efforts that the house was 
so successful this season. Mr. Paige 
in his management this year, fully 
sustained the excellent reputation 
that the house has made in years past. 
Everything that tended in any way 
toward the comfort or the pleasure of 
shore life, Mr. Paige afforded his 
guests at the Hesperus. Those who 
have for many years been regular pa- 
trons here, went away at the end of 
the summer more than satisfied with 
the way in which the house had_ been 
managed and with the courteous 
treatment received from Mr. Paige. 
The Blynman. 
The Blynman closes today after 
one of the most successful years in 
its history. Nearly every room has 
been occupied since the opening of 
the summer and the dining room has 
been often taxed to its fullest extent. 
Mr. Knowlton has as usual, himself 
managed the house this year, and has 
been ably assisted by George E. 
Bodge. 
Mr. Knowlton always goes on the 
principle that nothing is too good for 
his guests and that this fact is appre- 
ciated by them, is fully evidenced by 
the large number who stayed from 
the beginning of the summer until the 
very end, and who are already booked 
for the coming year, 
MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA. 
Dr. Lewis Tiffany of Baltimore is a 
guest of his daughter, Mrs. Gordon 
Abbott, at West Manchester. He 
arrived here Wednesday to spend a

Mrs. C. H. Clark is spending a few 
days at “Wildwood,” the charming 
summer home of the Amory Elliots 
at Old Neck. Mrs. Clark is Mrs. 
Elliot’s mother. 
Mrs. George Warder of Philadelphia 
is a guest of the Warders at West 
Manchester. Monday a party of 12 
was entertained at dinner by Mrs. 
Warder. 
The John H. Storers of Boston, 
who have been occupying the Richard 
M. Bradley house on Smith’s Point 
this summer, left here Wednesday for 
Waltham. The Bradleys are expected 
during the coming week, and they 
will finish out the season. 
There are two more tournaments 
arranged for the season on the Essex 
County club links, both of which will 
be medalhandicapcompetitions. These 
will be held next Saturday and Oct. 1.
