ficulty and if desired could easily be connected by bridge 
to the main-land. The property contains two and three- 
fourths acres of land with rocky sides and a landing beacn 
and temporary pier. The elevated table land, which forms 
the surface of the island, is fertile to shrub and tree 
--h and could be made a wonderfully beautiful spot. 
One of the accompanying photographs shows the 
possibilities of developing the island. It lends itself re- 
markably well to a reproduction of the famous Kenil- 
worth Castle, built in 1620. In event of its purchase with 
that view there is available on the island sufficient stone 
to erect the necessary wall. 
From the table land one of the most wonderful views 
on the whole North Shore is obtainable. The inland 
wooded hills of Manchester rise in plain sight, the woode | 
shores and beaches of Manchester and Beverly he in the 
foreground and in unobstructed view are the islands o 
Salem and Marblehead harbors. There is not a more ex- 
clusive and at the same time accessible (to proper per- 
sons) residence site on Smith’s Point nor all of Man- 
chester. There are excellent landing facilities on the in- 
side of the island. 
Not the least of the desirable assets of this property 
are the availability of Manchester’s famous pure water 
and of electricity. 
A man of good taste and means ought to be able to 
make out of Ram Island the show place of Manchester 
and the North Shore. 
Wee a MILTON women held their first meeting 
this Monday afternoon at the 5. Dacre Bush house on 
Main street, opposite Cherry street, in behalf of the surg- 
ical dressing prepared by the Special Aid Society an‘ 
American Preparedness. Part of the dressings made will 
be sent abroad for war sufferers and the remainder will 
be kept in this country. It was a largely attended meet- 
ing and as the season opens it is hoped that many more 
will join this worthy cause. Last year the ladies met for 
sewing and the making of surgical supplies at the home 
of Mrs. Charles T’. Parker of “Cotshabbie,” at Wenham 
Neck. This year a more central location has been chosen 
and the society of last year has joined the new society of 
Special Aid this season. The women of Wenham an‘ 
Hamilton became interested in this society through a 
representative who spoke at the home of Mrs. John C. 
Phillips of “Windy Knob,” before the Mav meetine of 
the Wenham Village Improvement societv. Mrs. Phillips 
and Mrs. Alanson L. Daniels of “Old Farm” are very 
much interested in the growth of the work locally. The 
house in which the meetings will be held was purchased 
by the S. Dacre Bushes last fall. They have made their 
sumer home in New. Hampshire for a few seasons. 
The Wenham Village Improvement society held its 
June meeting last Friday in the Town hall.

HAMILTON is looking forward to one of the busiest 
seasons ever known. Never before have so many of 
the big estates been kept open as have been during the 
past winter. Especially interesting have been the week- 
end parties that enjoyed the winter sports over Topsfield 
way and on and around the George Burroughs extensive 
place, “Green Meadows,” on the Topsfield road. Mr. 
and Mrs. Burroughs have been settled in their home for 
the season for some time, as have also the Alanson 1,. 
Daniels on their Wenham estate. Among others wh») 
have opened their homes for the season are the Frederic 
Winthrops, who arrived at “Groton House” this week 
from their Boston home., Recent arrivals are also Mr. 
and Mrs. _Tsaac Rand Thomas (Gertrude S. Fabyan), who 
had the S. Dacre Bush place, “Windacre,” last year. This 
year they are in the Reginald C. Robbins place, “Lone 
Tree Farm,” delightfully located in Hamilton near the 
Myopia Club.
