IN YACHTING CIRCLES. 
The “Velthra,” S. Parker Bremer’s 
steam yacht, arrived at Manchester 
late Thursday afternoon after under- 
going a thorough overhauling and re- 
fitting in New York since February. 
The yacht, which by ‘the way is one 
of the finest in North Shore waters, 
is 850 h.p. and has a speed of 23 
miles an hour. She has a new boiler, 
new dynamo, new upholsterings, new 
and larger propellers, etc. She has 
also been fitted for electric lights 
around the entire deck and she will, 
no doubt, be one of the best dressed 
boats in the flotillo at Marblehead this 
summer when the big racing events 
come off. Capt. W. C. Wheldon is 
still in charge and Serena Abraham- 
son is mate; F. G. Keene, engineer ; 
B. F. Chase, steward, and there are 
besides several other hands. 
Three yachts from Manchester 
yards have been shipped to various 
parts of the country this week. All 
of them are to be used for racing 
purposes. One, from the David 
Fenton Co., went to Philadelphia 
by rail Tuesday, and two were 
shipped the latter part of the week, 
one from White’s to Toledo, and 
another from D. Fenton’s to 
Detroit. 
The club house at the Manches- 
ter Yacht club will be opened for 
the season on Wednesday, May 30, 
with Severin Olsen, janitor. The 
concerts and entertainments of last 
season seem to be so well received 
that they will probably be con- 
tinued the coming season, including 
Children’s Day, Moonlight Concert 
Wedding 
Gifts.”

IHumination, 
Real Estate and Improvements 
The extensive improvements in 
progress as the Washington B. Thom- 
as estate, Pride’s Crossing, have just 
been completed, and the estate was 
turned over to the owner for occupan- 
cy this week. The work is certainly 
a credit to all concerned, as the estate 
is now one of: the most beautiful on 
the North Shore. Operations were 
started last fall, including a large ad- 
dition built of stone in which is a mu- 
sic room.—the finest on the shore, to- 
gether with other large living rooms, 
hallways, entrances and verandas. 
There is also a large terrace wall with 
sandstone balustrade. The grounds 
have also undergone a_ complete 
change, new avenues being built, and 
there being also extensive landscape 
work, together with a fountain which 
is located in the centre of the lawn, 
on the terrace. Messrs. Connolly 
Bros. were the general contractors. 
After a continuous period of labor 
extending from last October to the 
present time, during which time em- 
ployment has ~been furnished for an 
average of 100 men daily, the magni- 
ficent estate of Judge Wm. H. Moore, 
“Rockmarge,”’ at Pride’s Crossing, has 
been completed and was turned over 
to him this week. 
The alterations and improvements 
have been for the most part upon 
the grounds and consist chiefly of the 
building of a high terrace wall of 
Rockport block granite with granite 
cut spiral steps, leading down to the 
lawn with landings, either of grass or 
stone. The spacious lawn between the 
mansion and the ocean has been 
greatly improved by raising the grade, 
this work necessitating the removal of 
a vast quantity of sod and earth after 
which a large amount of filling was 
hauled in and the whole leveled and 
graded off. The lawn on the other 
side of the house, as have also the 
other areas about the house, received 
attention in the shape of grading and 
landscape work, and numerous large 
trees were brought from a farm in 
Hamilton and transplanted. 
The old avenues have been replaced 
by new ones, built upon much larger 
and better lines in new _ locations. 
Changes have also been in order upon 
the croquet grounds. Italian gardens, 
rockeries, flower gardens, together 
with numerous amounts of shrubs, go 
in making the estate all that could be 
desired. Connolly Bros. of Beverly 
Farms were the contractors for the 
whole work.
