tion, the members of the North Shore

over and the. president was about to 
put the motion for adjournment, for- 
mer president Philemon Sanborn 
stepped forward, and in the following 
very appropriate words made the pre- 
sentation: ‘The Great Teacher has 
declared that whatsoever a man sow- 
eth that also shall he reap. From the 
earliest inception of this organization 
to the present moment you, President 
Macgregor, have been sowing the 
good seed. You have sown the seeds 
of education, of loyalty and of integ- 
rity with a lavish hand. You have 
sown the seeds of education by giving 
chapter upon chapter from the long 
years of your practical experience 
that has been to us, your associates, 
an inspiration anda guide. You have 
sown the seeds of loyalty by standing 
ever at the post of duty when otheis 
have faltered and fallen by the way. 
You have sown the seeds of integrity 
by holding as a sacred trust the treas- 
ure committed to your charge in 
striking contrast to the graft and 
defalcation of our time. 
‘“‘ Having sown the seed it is fitting 
that you should receive some reminder 
of the harvest. It is my privilege, in 
behalf of your friends and associates, 
to present to you this desk, with its 
belongings, as a slight token of their 
appreciation and regards, realizing as 
we all must that the bounteous harvest 
lies in the consciousness of duty well 
done.” 
Mr. Macgregor’s surprise was very 
apparent. He said: ‘‘Gentlemen, I 
am surprised. I sincerely thank you 
all for your kindness. That is all I 
can say.” 
BEVERLY FARMS : ig 
At the close of an 11 days’ trial of 
the suit brought by George R. Preston 
et al. vs. the West Beach Corporation, 
involving the title to a tract of beach 
at West Farms, Beverly, 70 by 300 
feet in extent. Judge Flaherty in the 
seventh session yesterday ordered the 
jury to return findings upon the 11 is- 
sues of fact between the parties, in 
accordance with the decision of them, 
as found by an auditor, and the case 
will be taken to the supreme court on 
exceptions by the corporation. The 
tract in question forms what the plain- 
tiffs, claim to be the rear portion of 
their estate, and the verdict is favor- 
able to them: This suit was brought 
in equity to restrain the corporation 
from erecting and maintaining bath- 
houses and from gathering seaweed 
upon the tract, claiming plaintiffs are 
the owners. The parcel abuts .an- 
other parcel of the corporation, which 
it unquestionably owns, but the com- 
pany claim that it owns the litigated 
tract as well, by adverse possession as 
well.as by reason of a release executed 
to it by Jonathan Preston, an ancestor 
of the plaintiffs, in 1852, having be- 
come inoperative. Besides the title 
certain uses or privileges in the land 
were also involved in the trial before 
the jury. The case is of much im- 
portance to the plaintiffs, for if it shall 
be ultimately decided against them, 
their estate will be cut off from the 
sea. a... Choate, jr Mi) 4. Gon-
