Swampseott’s season officially opened on Patriots’ 
day with the opening of the Tedesco Country clubs there 
were nearly 200 present during the day and evening, 
about 135 sitting down to dinner. There was dancing 
in the afternoon and a dinner dance in the evening. The 
golf course was busy all day and two of the tennis courts 
which have been opened, were enlivened with sport-coated 
admirers of that enlivening game. The remainder of the 
courts are being rebuilt, a temporary green being provid- 
ed in the meantime. Among the visitors on the holiday 
were Mr. and Mrs. Andrew W. Preston. Mr. and Mrs. 
Eugene W. Ong, the latter a daughter of the Prestons, 
were also over for the club opening. Mr. Ong is now the 
first vice-president of the United Fruit Co., over which 
company Mr. Preston is the directing head. Others down 
for the day were Mr. and Mrs. John P. Squire of Brook- 
line; Charles H. Conway of the clubhouse committee ; 
Frank M. Sawtelle, secretary of the club this year; and 
W. A. Paine, president of the Tedesco, and Mrs. Paine. 
Mr. Ong has resigned as secretary of the club and Mr. 
Sawtelle has taken up the reins of that position. It will 
not be many days now before the tennis and golf matches 
will be under way. These always receive an early start 
to give the season the impetus it usually gets on the 
Swampscott shore. 
MARBLEHEAD'S barometer of the start of the season 
—_the real season is meant—is, strange to say, the most 
unlooked for sign that one could imagine. Nevertheless, 
it is the opening of Uncle Sam’s establishment, the post- 
office on Marblehead Neck. For Uncle Sam knows when 
the people want to be served; he evidently has felt the 
human pulse of the summer visitors sufficiently this spring 
ta realize that the season is going to be quite a bit earlier 
this year. Therefore he is doing something to coax sum- 
mer resorters over on the Neck. He is opening the office 
on May 1, in other words. 
The remark of Gardner R. Hathaway, Marblehead’s 
biggest summer resort real estate man, the other day 1s 
encouraging when he says: “Rentals have been better this 
year than for three or four years back. The rentals of 
cottages and sttmmer estates on this bend of the shore 
makes things look rosy for a good and prosperous sum- 
mer. The people are evidently more prosperous—there- 
fore the shore folk will be.” Mr. Hathaway’s message 
is being echoed about other parts of the shore, encourag- 
ing news, to be sure.

EAst -GLOUCESTER.—The Hotel Rockaway ‘on 
Rocky Neck bore a decidedly summerish atmosphere 
last week-end when about a hundred Radcliffe and Sim- 
mons college students arrived on Friday for a few days. 
Everywhere merry voices permeated the air, the attractive 
reception room was almost continually occupied for read- 
ing, cards or dancing. Then there were the outdoor at- 
tractions, sailing in the harbor, visiting the wharves anil 
walking to beauty spots along the shore line and visiting 
Eastern Point lighthouse. 
Harry Fenn, the artist, son of the late noted illustrator 
Walter Fenn, arrived recently at Rocky Neck, where he 
purchased a studio in the avenue waterfront. Mr. Fenn 
will make some improvements on his property. 
The Byrnes family of Grand Rapids, Mich., will not 
occupy the chalet at Grape Vine Cove, but instead will 
spend the season on the lake shore in Wisconsin. Mr. 
Byrnes was in East Gloucester several days ago to visit 
real estate dealers in regard to leasing his estate. 
The surf display along the entire coast of East Glou- 
cester and Bass Rocks was the finest of the past week, 
for all winter. There were many visitors to the rocks, 
including automobile tourists and summer residents visit- 
ing their estates for a short time preparatory to opening 
their houses for the early season.

ASS ROCKS.—Workmen are busy these days repair- 
ing the greens on the Bass Rocks golf links. There 
have been many players on the course during the pleas- 
ant weather of the past week. 
The E. L. Springs of Boston are occupying their at- 
tractive cottage near Souther road, Bass Rocks. 
The E. B. Chandlers of San Antonio, Tex., are mak- 
ing improvements at their shore place at Bass Rocks. 
Mr. Chandler, last season purchased additional ground on 
Harbor Road, adjoining his estate and a beautiful new 
wall of solid granite has been completed. A new pergola 
has been built and ground is being arranged for a fine 
garden for the coming season, "A spacious new living 
room has been added to the house “Casa Del Mar” with 
an addition to a bed room above. A large chimney has 
been added to the house affording fireplaces in the rooms. 
Much has been said in the municipal council in regard 
to changing the mounted police from horse to motor- 
cycles, at Eastern Point and Bass Rocks. Mayor Barrett 
has suggested that more be said on the question when the 
summer people are here and are privileged to have a 
voice in the matter. Undoubtedly the police on horse- 
back will be favored. One acquainted with the condition 
of some of the soft roads, the snow drifts and the noise 
of the motors realizes that the motorcycle is inexpedient 
for police patrol duty here.
