NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1911. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
After holding by successive elections the office of 
master of hounds of the Myopia hunt club for ten years, 
George S. Mandell, about a month ago, sent in his res- 
ignation, to take effect at the end of his present term. 
Merely to say that he has held the office for so long 
a period does not express the full fact, which is that he 
has filled the position in all respects to the advantage 
vi the club as an organization and to the profit, com- 
furt and pleasure of all the members He has spared 
no effort to give every one a good time. He has de- 
voted a large part of his time to giving the members 
good hunting. He has been kind and thoughtful for 
eyery one in the field. His success was not purchased 
except at the cost of hard work, kept up constantly. 
Upon this consideration the members of the club do not 
Legrudge the well-earned leisure he is to enjoy, while 
ai the same time they regret deeply the severance of 
the official tie which has been one of affection and ser- 
vice. At the annual meeting, held last Saturday, 
James W. Appleton was elected master of hounds, in 
succession to Mr. Mandell. Every member of the elub 
is in aceord on the fitness of the choice, which is re- 
gverded as auspicious of continued success in the hunt- 
ing field. The new master of hounds is a keen sports- 
man. He knows the country over which the Myopia 
hounds run intimately. He has acquaintance with the 
fermers over whose grounds the runs are made. Ile 
keeps his own pack of prize-winning beagles, and is 
ccnsidered one of the best experts on beagles in the 
country. His judgment of hunters and hounds is of 
the highest order. He enjoys great personal popularity, 
aud all the members are sure that he will make a very 
able master. The Myopia hunt club was established in 
1882. Including Mr. Appleton, the club has had six 
masters of hounds: Hugh A. Allen, 1882; John KH. 
Feabody, 1883 (for a short period); Frank Seabury, 
1883-93; R. M. Appleton—who is a brother of the 
newly chosen master—1893-1901; George S. Mandell, 
1301-1911.
