middle of November. 
that President Taft had hired a cot- 
tage at Manchester for next season, 
and another that he had hired one at 
Beverly, is contradicted by members 
of the family. It is true that the 
President and family probably will 
“not occupy the Evans cottage at 
Burgess Point again, and that Mrs. 
Taft has looked at several houses 
with the idea of hiring a new place 
for next year, but they have not yet 
hired any house. This latter infor- 
mation was given the Breeze this 
noon by Miss Taft.

his daughter, Mrs. Eugene G. Foster 
and family, have returned to their 
home in New York city. Mr. South- 
erland was one of those competing in 
the golf tournament at Rye Beach 
the latter part of last week, a re- 
markable feature of which was the 
fact that out of the large number 
playing, not one of them was under 
essential to good golf, however, was 
evident by the large number of re- 
markably good scores made.

The report that John R. McGinley 
had bought the Stevens estate on 
Smith’s Point, which he and his fam- 
ily is occupying this season, is not 
true. It is not at all improbable that

until the middle of next month, or 
later.
