Vi week of races has been a busy one 
for the town, and socially at the yacht clubs and in 
the hotels in that section has been the biggest week of the 
summer season. Hotels have been filled to capacity the 
past few days, many of the guests on for the races haying 
engaged apartments at several of the houses for this 
month. ‘The illumination of the harbor and yachts last 
night was a beautiful sight. ‘The yacht clubs were bril- 
hantly lighted and gay festivities were on there. Hun- 
dreds of vari-colored lights adorned the pennant-bedecked 
yachts and racing craft and made the sight one long to 
be remembered. 
Members of the Eastern Yacht Club have been 
proving jolly hosts to the visiting German yachtsmen 
the past week. ‘I'ne dance given at the clubhouse Labor 
Day night was one of the most enjoyable social events of 
the club’s season. It was a complimentary hop by Mrs, 
F. B. Crowninshield to the German yachtsmen and their 
friends and was one of the big events of the holiday at 
Marblehead Neck. C. P. Curtis was one of the members 
to dine the German yachtsmen at his Pride’s Crossing 
home this week. ‘The dinner which the Germans are to 
tender the members of the Eastern is scheduled for to- 
morrow night. On Sunday there will be another din- 
ner tendered the German visitors by Commodore Paine 
at the clubhouse. The presentation of the Wilson and 
Foss cups to the winners of the international races will 
take place on the evening of the 9th at the club. 
The Rockmere at Marblehead was one of the sum- 
mer hostelries to share the tide of visitors to the races. 
On Labor Day there was not a reservation to be had 
there and several guests of the earlier season returned 
at that time for sojourns of two weeks or more in Sep- 
tember. The presence of the yachts in the harbor 
brought many week-end guests to the shore. Prominent 
among those who arrived at the Rockmere for over Labor 
Day were Mrs. L. L. Edgar of Brookline, who visited 
Mr, and Mrs, HH. T. Edgar: Miss 17), P) -Atwood™of 
Providence, who visited Mrs, W. O. Todd; Mr. and Mrs. 
Charles $. Kelly and children and Miss Sarah Dodge of

Labor Day was a big day at the yacht clubs. The 
Corinthian Club had a tug follow the course of the races 
with the German boats and many of the members ac- 
companied the committee on this trip. There was open 
house by the members to their friends and ladies last 
night during the illunination, and dancing was on the 
program from 8:30 to 10:30. ‘There will be another 
dance this evening. 
Qe and the Hotel Preston are synony- 
mous for September liveliness, for the month has 
started with a good omen for a comfortably filled house 
for at least a few weeks longer. ‘This month is being 
recognized as one of the best which could be chosen for 
a sojourn on the shore. It is also natural that one of 
Swampscott’s largest and best appointed hotels should be 
selected as the rendezvous for such a stay. ‘There were 
many arrivals at the Preston the past week who plan an 
indefinite stay there. Among them were William J, Car- 
ter, of Cleveland; Benjamin S. Cable, of Chicago; Mrs.

modations will be found there next year, when an addi-

during the first three weeks at the Oceanside, Marblehead 
Neck, as the remainder of the season, for many guests 
have arrived there the past week for stays this month.

the races, as its situation on the edge of the water and 
overlooking the course made it particularly pleasing to 
lovers of the water sport. Arrivals there for September

Dunning, of St. Paul; Harold F. Pellegrin, of Baltimore; 
Miss Mabel A. Bell and Misses Rachel and Mary C. Bell,
