The garden on the Walter J. Mitchell estate, Man- 
chester Cove, is showing the effects of he rainy month. 
The garden, which is over 20 years old, has always been 
a noticeable one on Magnolia avenue, but this year 
tlie rainy season and the great amount of shade has some- 
what hindered the profuseness of bloom. ‘‘Glendyne”’ ‘s 
one of the fine North Shore estates, with much of the 
grounds left in a natural state, and its trees and ferns 
are very rich looking.

A movement is on foot among the members of the 
summer colony at: Manchester and elsewhere along the 
Shore to establish a fund for the purpose of building a 
suitable home for the North Shore Horticultural society, 
where flower shows may be held and meetings along other 
lines, musicals, etc., may be held during the summer. 
_ This is brought to a point just now by the fact that the! 
society has been forced to remove from its headquarters | 
in Lee’s Block, “Manchester, owing ‘to a change in 
ownership and the remodeling of the structure. 
failure of the flower show this week on’ account of the 
rain is another big incident toward focusing attention to 
the need of such a building somewhere on the: North 
Shore. It is understood an option on a lot of’ land on 
Summer Street, Manchester, opposite the railroad station, 
has been obtained, and tentative plans are being made for 
an attractive one story building, of slap-dash exterior. 
We hope the people generally will take an interest: in this 
project; a suitable hall for lectures, musicales, and the 
like, with modern equipment, has long been needed on the 
North Shore.
