which the Governor and his young 
wife have given since their return

SOCIETY NOTES 
In consequence of a broken leg 
unfortunately received from a coast- 
ing accident at Hamilton last Sat- 
urday afternoon, Geo. von L. Meyer, 
Jr., Harvard ’13, son of the secre- 
tary of the navy, will be absent for 
some time as one of the crack oars- 
men on the Crimson squad. The 
break is a double fracture. Meyer 
rowed at No. 2 on the victorious 
Harvard four-oared crew on _ the 
Thames last spring, after rowing on 
his successful freshman eight. Last 
fall Coach Wray put him in at No. 
4 of the ’varsity eight and he did 
remarkably well during the fall 
races and would have taken that 
position when the ’varsity started 
its rowing this spring. His _ loss 
will be severely felt as he was capa- 
ble of rowing either a port or a 
starboard oar.

cently returned to their Exeter

Annie Pemberton, in Philadelphia, 
are sailing for the Mediterranean 
early in March, going direct to 
Alexandria, .and thence to Cairo. 
Master Q. A. Shaw, Jr., is to ae- 
company his parents on the trip. It 
is quite possible that Dr. and Mrs. 
Daniel F. Jones of Beacon street, 
Boston, may be included in the 
Shaw party, since they have the 
subject under serious consideration. 
Mrs. Shaw has previously spent 
much time in Egypt, and has made 
the ascent of the Nile, and visited 
the: various points of interest. It is 
the Shaw’s intention to remain

Friends of Mrs, Charles R. Hay- 
den of Beacon street, Boston, and
