NORTH SHORE BREEZE 31 
MARBLEHEAD 
This is the week this famous yachting town took the 
centre of the stage as a North Shore town of special im- 
portanee, for the international races between the 
Spaniards and Americans have been in progress here. 
The fine array of craft were enlarged early in the week 
by the arrival of the U. S. Revenue cutters, Gresham, 
Ascushnet and Androscoggin, which added a naval 
‘touch to this notable marine picture. The yacht clubs, 
hotels, clubs and private boarding houses have been 
doing more than capacity business this week, particular- 
ly Thursday, when the harbor illumination was in order ; 
and at all the yacht clubs Thursday was ladies’ day and 
at the Eastern every table was engaged for informal 
dining. There was music all day at this clubhouse. The 
ladies, too, were guests of honor at the Corinthian and 
there were two settings at both the five and 7 o’clock 
dinners and special music. It was indeed a gala day 
and the demand for miniature Spanish and American 
flags created a lively business. There were band concerts 
at Crocker Park also on Thursday evening where the 
Spanish flag was hoisted with a salute of 21 guns as was 
the American flag with the same salute. The fireworks 
float was located off the Eastern Yacht club and the 
magnificent illumination was from Point Neck to Fort 
Sewall. The Spanish visitors are being entertained at 
the Eastern Yacht club.
