NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Society Notes 
-Miss Francis H. Stearns has re- 
turned from her European trip and 
came yesterday week to her Villa at 
Magnolia. Miss Stearns returns full 
of ideas for the Grill Club and for 
further beautifying her already very 
attractive grounds. A feature which 
will prove a decidedly popular innova- 
tion, no doubt, will be the corridor 
garden which will be constructed in 
connection with the Grill club. Miss 
Stearns’ ideas will be carried out un- 
der the direction of Mr. Kelley, the 
well known Boston architect, and with 
the Hungarian band and all, the gar- 
den will have a decidedly foreign air. 
The club this year, as previously an- 
nounced, will not be run strictly as a 
club as last year, but will be open to 
any and all, and the plans, if carried 
out, will make it quite the resort for 
the North Shore exclusive set. Mr, 
A. L. Rowell of the Harvard Union 
will be the manager. 
Samuel B. Dana and family arrived 
at Beverly Farms Thursday for the 
summer and is again occupying the

Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Cun- 
ningham have been spending the past 
few days at their residence on Harbor 
street, West Manchester, which was 
opened on Monday last. As Mrs. 
- Cunningham owns a fine estate at 
Milton, which has been in her family 
for years, it is their intention of divid- 
ing their time this season between the 
two estates, excepting such time as 
Mr.and Mrs. Cunningham will, dur- 
ing mid-summer as by their usual cus- 
tom, spend at Northeast Harbor, Me.

The Summer Train - Service 
The “dude” train will begin its 
daily trips on the Gloucester branch 
week- after next, making its initial 
run of the season a week from this 
afternoon. 
There are a number of changes to 
be made in the train service of the 
branch the coming season, if the 
semi-official reports are true, the idea 
being to give the North Shore the 
best service possible.. This will be 
greatly facilitated by the completion 
of the loop at Rockport by which the 
trains turn around with hardly no 
delay, and by the completion of the 
double track as faras West Glouces- 
ter. The running time of some of 
the trains will be changed, and at 
least one new train each way will be 
added. A new train will probably 
leave Boston between the 8.17 and 
the 10.45,—say 9.25 a.m., arriving 
at Manchester about 10.20, and re- 
turning will leave Rockport about 
12.15, and Manchester about 12.45. 
The train now going up the branch at 
9.30 p.m. will probably run up at least 
half an hour earlier. 
Surprise Party for Former Man- 
chester Man 
Prof. Nathan B. Sargent, a former 
Manchester man, and who still has a 
large circle of friends here, was given 
a genuine surprise a week ago last 
evening, when some 160 of his friends 
and neighbors called on him at his 
home in West Boxford. Prof. Sar- 
gent formerly taught at the High 
School in Manchester. He has been 
teacher of the Barker Free school in 
West Boxford for the past 18 years, 
/ 
17 
superintendent of the Sunday school 
and organist of the church. A few 
weeks ago he resigned his place at 
the organ and the church people 
started at once ona surprise for him. 
Friday evening, April 26, some 160 
people surrounded his house and sung 
him out with “Auld Lang Syne.” 
Prof. Sargent was taken wholly un- 
awares. Later in the evening all ad- 
journed to the hall of the school build- 
ing. To complete the surprise Rev. 
Mr. Sanborn presented him with a 
fine fur-lined overcoat, also a roll of 
bills. Though greatly surprised Mr. 
Sargent was equal to the occasion and 
responded feelingly. A caterer later 
served refreshments.
