SWIMMING POOL is one in fact, when out of a 
picnic party of twenty-four members and subscri- 
bers thirteen are able to swim to their destination three- 
quarters of a mile away. Last Friday a number of the 
young people went over to Kettle Island from Magnolia 
beach for a day’s picnic, and more than half of them 
swar to the island from the club-house, among them two 
lads, Nolan Hussey and Reggy White, each eleven years 
old, and five young ladies. Swimming has its practical 
side and parents are keenly alive to this fact. On Satur- 
day, August 29th, the last of the water sports at the North 
Shore Swimming Pool were held. The challenge cup 
in competition diving, to be won three years before pos- 
session is given, was won by Charles Wadsworth, 3rd, 
whose name will be engraved on the cup for 1914. Miss 
Johnston and Miss Polly Dumaine were given honorable 
mention, their score in points being exactly the same. 
The excellence of the diving by the young boys called 
for recognition, and the comnittee awarded a special cup 
to Fred Dumaine. Mr. James Burgess Green gave some 
of his amusing water stunts, which were greatly appreci- 
ated by the members. A mixed relay team of boys and 
girls swam a match of 25 yards in competition, which 
ended the program of the day and practically of the 1914 
season. The membership of the pool has steadily in- 
creased and many of the cottagers along the shore have 
become stockholders in place of season subscribers. . The 
membership and subscriptions of 1914 will reach a total 
of about 500.

Mrs. Robert S. Bradley has returned from Europe 
after a very trying trip. Embarking just prior to the 
war on the German liner, the Cincinnati, she was forced 
to bear the trying experiences. incident to a trip across 
the ocean. The ship was darkened and ran through 
dense fog without sounding a horn until remonstrances - 
were filed with the captain. Mrs. Bradley is at her 
beautiful summer place ot Pride’s and has begun again 
her interesting work with the Improvement society. The 
organization has under her direction provided for safty 
regulations in Central Square and has arranged for sys- 
tematic street cleaning. Miss Bradley is still at Labrador 
doing social work with Dr. Grenfel and is intensely in- 
terested in it. Such a spirit of friendly service is indeed 
praiseworthy.
