It is small wonder that the Essex 
County Club at Manchester is having 
the most prosperous season of its 
existence, considering all that is now 
being done for the entertainment and 
comfort of its members and their 
guests. The management has been 
entirely reorganized. D. J. Ross has 
been appointed superintendent, in 
charge of all departments inside and 
outside the club house. He has en- 
gaged A. Doucette as steward, who 
has provided the club with excellent 
chefs and attendants, to enable mem- 
bers to be served promptly and cour- 
teously from a cuisine that is recelv- 
ing nothing but the highest praise. 
The golf links have been greatly 
improved during the past winter and 
is now considered second to none 
in this country. Mr. Ross has made 
many changes and improvements 
that are most pleasing to the mem- 
bers, as is evidenced by the increased 
use of the links, this year. 
There will be band concerts each 
Wednesday afternoon during July 
and August, from 4.30 to 6 o’clock, 
the two best bands, the First Corps 
Cadets, and the Salem Cadet, will 
alternate, with a delightful musical 
program kindly arranged for the 
club by Mr. Wallace Goodrich. 
The ‘Ladies’ entertainment com- 
mittee consists of: Mrs. Gordon Ab- 
bott, Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Mrs. 
Gardiner M. Lane, Mrs. Lester Le- 
land. Mrs. William H. Moore and 
Mrs. Washington B. Thomas, and 
they have arranged for two dinner 
dances on the evenings of July 21st 
and August 18th. During the past 
two seasons, the club has been un- 
able to povide for all who desired 
to dine at the club house on the 
evenings of the dinner dances. Judg- 
ing by the applications already re- 
ceived, this year will be no exception 
to the past popularity of these 
events. 
Tennis and golf tournaments for 
the ladies as well as the members, 
are being arranged and great inter- 
est is being shown all along the 
Shore. 
The membership has been limited 
to 200, and as there are now but a 
few vacancies, a waiting list in the 
near future, is assured. 
As to summer subscribers—far 
more have sent in their applica- 
tions than ever before in the history 
of the elub. Before the end of the 
summer, a subscription list of well 
over 100 is assured. 
Manchester is to be congratulated 
on having this centre of the summer 
social life located in her midst.
