TEDESCO CLUB ADDS TO ITS GOLF LINKS. 
Two land transfers closely connected with the affairs 
of the Tedesco Country club of Swampscott were re- 
corded at the registry of deeds last week. The first 
was the transfer of 21 acres of land, with the buildings ~ 
thereon, from Albert Boyden of Beverly to the Te- 
desco club. This land was secured some time ago for 
the use of the club in enlarging its golf links. It is 
located on the opposite side of Salem street from the 
other property of the club, and is what was formerly 
the John C. Phillips estate. The second transfer is a 
conveyance from the Tedesco Country club of Swamp- 
scott to William A. Jefferies of Swampscott and James 
st. Newell, of Boston, trustees of the elub, land and 
buildings near Salem street in Marblehead and Swamp- 
scott; land and buildings known as the old Farrel farm 
on Salem street and two parcels of land containing 21 
acres, with the buildings thereon, on Salem street. This 
transfer includes all of the property owned by the Te- 
deseo club. The property is still to remain in the nom- 
inal possession of the Tedesco club to be used for club 
purposes, and the transfer is only made to cover legal 
requirements.
