NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
" Mystery Isles” New Name of Islands 
off the Beverly Farms Shore. 
Misery Island, off the Beverly Farms 
shore has taken on new life this year, 
after a few seasons of inactivity, and 
seems likely to become popular with 
North Shore folk, under the new con- 
ditions of control. This has now passed 
into the hands of Edwin Garsia of Bos- 
ton and Chestnut Hill, who has secured 
the property on a long lease, and he al- 
ready has begun improvement which will 
make the place vastly more, interesting. 
The first step to this end was a change 
of the name of the larger and smaller 
islands to “‘ Mystery Isles,’’ by which 
they will be known in the future says 
the Transcript. From plans by land- 
scape architects, the larger island will 
show notable changes, with new road- 
way constructed. Many shade and 
decorative trees have been set out and 
flowering shrubs planted. ‘The plans 
call also for the building of a swimming 
pool between the two islands, where a 
connecting wall will be built. 
Mr. Garsia is having the former club- 
house on the larger island (the smaller 
island lacks buildings ) made over to adapt it 
to purposes for a casino, and the changes 
in the service end and elsewhere will be 
such as to provide entire comfort for 
those making use of the place. It is in- 
tended to place the service department 
and restaurant under the charge of an 
experienced New York steward, who 
already has been engaged. He long has 
been accustomed to catering to the 
creature comforts of Newport summer 
cottagers and those at Narragansett Pier 
and like places. New boats are now 
under construction for use between the 
island and the main land at West Beach, 
Beverly Farms, and the new landing 
pier at Manchester. Private yachts and 
other craft will be permitted to land pas- 
sengers at the island only under certain 
restrictions which have been made to 
maintain the high character which it is 
intended to establish for this place. 
The bungalow which formerly be- 
longed to the late Charles Stedman 
Hanks, who was so active in promoting 
the development of Misery Island in its 
earlier seasons, when several bungalows 
were built, has been remodelled and _ re- 
named ‘‘The Gables,’’ and this attrac- 
tive little place will be occupied by Mr. 
and Mrs. Garsia. George N. Towle, 
the Boston banker, who bought several 
summers ago, the bungalow formerly be- 
longing to J. C. Rogers, has caused 
some changes to be made there, to make 
it more comfortable and will occupy it 
this season. At the George Lee bunga- 
low, sold last November to Joseph B. 
Henderson of Brookline, D. Linehan & 
Son have built a fine tennis court. What 
has been known as the ‘‘Governor’s 
Cottage,’’ once used by the governing 
board of the Misery Island club, has un- 
dergone remodelling and is now enlarged. 
It has been leased to Benjamin D. Shreve 
of Salem. The bungalow called “* The 
Breakers’’ has been moved to a better 
postion and has been leased for the sea- 
son by Frank D. Stevens of Boston. 
The ‘‘ Caddie House’’ has been rented 
by C. T.- Keller: of Boston ahe a 
Sheldon of Belmont built about a year 
ago, a new bungalow near that of Mr. 
Towle. 
At ‘‘Mystery Isles’? this summer 
there will be quite a colony of cottagers, 
in addition to the life which the casino is 
likely to create. “The only other bunga- 
low on the island is that of —T. Clarence 
Hollander of Boston, whose summer re- 
sidence is at Wenham Neck, from which 
place he has in past summers made trips 
as frequently as inclined to the island, for 
brief or long visits. Mr. Garsia has 
plans as yet not fully completed, for 
erecting still more small bungalows dur- 
ing the coming season, to be available 
for future years. Development of the 
land and its natural conditions will go on, 
as well, so that eventually this former 
barren spot will be greatly transformed. 
We have just received several bales of 
wool sponges suitable for carriages; also 
a finer grade of sponges suitable for 
boats. D. T. Beaton, Central street,
