ARBLEHEAD cottagers and Mrs. Fred McQuesten 
in particular have reason to be elated as to the finan- 
cial results of the recent recital of Lohengrin at “Ques- 
tenmere”’ for the benefit of the war relief fund. It is 
announced that the recital netted $150 for the fund. 
A good indication of the amount of travel by sum- 
mer visitors to the Marblehead shore is shown in the fact 
that the receipts are greater than last summer at this time. 
While a portion of this increase is due to the rise of 
fares in the spring it seems to indicate that people have 
been steadily coming. 
The first of a series of model yacht races was held 
at Red’s pond, Marblehead, last Saturday afternoon. 
‘There are to be four of these races, followed by a champ- 
icnship sailing. Many of the boys in the summer colony 
who are not matured enough in years to act as skipper 
of a larger boat take their models and enter them in these 
races. They get quite as much sport out of the events and 
learn the rudiments of the yacht racing sport. 
Miss Ella Ballard, Mrs. Raymond O. Brackett and 
Miss Helen Smith of Harbor View are to serve at a

One of the features of the Boston Chamber of Com- 
merce dinner to the governors at the Eastern Yacht Club 
Wednesday night was the participation of Governor John- 
son of California in the conference of governors by long 
distance telephone. It was impossible for Governor John- 
son to come to Boston because of the many conventions 
in California that required his presence there. He did, 
however, address the other governors over the wire. 
Arrangements were made whereby two hundred telephone 
receivers were in plate at the Eastern Yacht Club that 
night, so that every guest at the dinner could listen to the 
conversation. President Bliss of the Chamber of Com- 
merce, between 9.15 and 9.30 o’clock, called up Governor 
Johnson in San Francisco. After exchange of greetings 
Governor Johnson spoke briefly to the assemblage. Gov- 
ernor Walsh replied in behalf of Massachusetts and the 
governors’ conference. 
The season at the Oceanside, Marblehead Neck, is 
humming along at such a rate that Manager Lane is to 
keep open this year until Oct. 4. Several of his guests 
have decided to return there for an autumn stay. With 
such a scarcity of really warm weather this summer 1t 
would seem that some warm days might be in prospect 
Jeter than usual this season. The Oceanside is enjoying a 
full house at present. Numbered among its long term 
guests are the following: Mr. and Mrs. William F. Ran- 
som, Huntington, Ky.; the Misses Frances and Elizabeth

ed through September. 
The Corinthian Y. C. on the Neck entertained about 
50 aides of the governors visiting Boston at the club 
Wednesday night. They were the overflow from the big 
dinner and reception at the Eastern. The latter club was 
unable to accommodate all and the aides had a pleasant 
time at the Corinthian instead. At Monday’s band con- 
cert there was the usual large attendance and 165 diners 
made merry before the concert. 
An assembly of 200 composed of the govenors visit- 
ing Boston and members of the Boston Chamber of Com- 
merce who were their hosts had dinner at the Eastern Y.

ladies present. Besides the 200 diners there were many 
who arrived afterward for the band concert. The club- 
heuse was crowded last evening also, the weekly concert 
by the Eighth Regt. band being the attraction. 
LIFTON summer residents are still discussing the 
method adopted by Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bryer of 
Wellington road, Brookline, to announce the marriage of 
their daughter, Miss Ottilie Bryer, to Dana Foss Drew of 
Boston. More than 50 couples were invited to a dancing 
party at Rockaway Inn, and as each guest arrived a rose 
was given, to which was attached a sealed envelope. Ata 
given signal during the dance the envelopes were opened 
and the news was revealed. Mr. and Mrs. Drew were 
quietly married at Bellows Falls, Vt., July 19. They will 
remain at Clifton for the rest of the season and then 
locate in Vermont in the fall. 
Clifton’s casino is undergoing repairs as a result of 
the recent entertainment héld for the purpose of raising 
funds for its improvementy Although the repairs are 
minor ones they are numerous and will make an appre-

of the place, It is announced that $65 was raised by the

ejection to see the democratic candidate for President. In 
the course of an animated conversation, says Everybody’: 
Magazine, the visitor, noticing that Governor Wilson’s 
eyeglasses were perched perilously near the tip of his 
nose, remarked : 
“Your glasses, Governor, are almost on your mouth.’ 
“That’s all right,” was the quick response. “I want 
to see what I am talking about,”
