BASS ROCKS 
This has been a very notable week at 
The Rocks. Bass Rocks is a_ very 
beautiful place—indeed, one of the most 
beautiful along the whole Atlantic coast, 
but, in a way, it isn’t on the map until 
the advent of the summer railroad sched- 
ule establishes a stop at the Bass Rocks 
station and thus supplies a means of 
reaching the place and the beautiful 
country adjacent without the long ride 
from Gloucester. The week was no- 
table in that, last Monday morning, the 
summer-schedule on the Boston X Maine 
went into effect and Bass Rocks is again 
before the public as an ideal summering 
place within easy reach of Boston or even 
the country far beyond. 
Nothing showed the new order of 
things greater than the arrival of guests 
and cottagers. While they had been 
dropping down to their cottages and to 
the Thorwald and Moorland one at a 
time, Monday saw an impetus to busi- 
ness that grew and grew through all the 
week until now nearly every cottage is 
full and the hotels, so far as guests and 
prospects of the"season are concerned, 
are on Easy Street. 
The Thorwald has booked a large 
number of season guests—in fact many 
of the guests are there a couple of 
months or more. Among them are M. 
H. Newton and Winthrop Cotton of 
Boston; Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Rigg, Miss 
Howell and Miss Tilden of Auburn, 
N. Y.; Mrs. F. M. Thompson of 
Portland and W. A. Gearrigin and 
daughter of Plainford, N. Y.; Mrs. 
Wm. Clark of Brookline; Mrs. J. J. 
Johnson of New York. 
At the Moorland, the season is also in 
full swing. Some of the arrivals of the 
last few days were: Mrs. W. F. 
Hyatt and Miss Hyatt, Mr. and Mrs. 
R. M. Speers, Miss Marjorie Speers and 
Mr. William Speers, Brooklyn, N. Y.; 
Miss C. K. Palmer and Miss L. S. 
Palmer of New York City; Mrs. Henry 
B. Keyser and Miss Ann F. Keyser, 
Baltimore; Mrs. Albert S. Pratt, New- 
ton; Mrs. Walter E. Parker and maid, 
Lawrence; Mrs. James T. Whittaker, 
Miss Virginia J. Whittaker and Walter 
S. Whittaker, Cincinnati, O.; Mrs. T. 
N. Jamieson and Miss Jamieson, 
Chicago, Ill.; Miss A. C. Elliott, 
Ottawa, Ont.; Mrs. J. H. Cooper, 
Toronto, Ont.

EAST GLOUCESTER 
How a seemingly unimportant feat- 
ure may greatly tend toward the success 
of a summer resort, is well shown by the 
recent establishment of the fast express 
between Magnolia and Boston. Since 
Monday, when the express was run for 
the first time, the hotels of East Glouces- 
ter have received an increasing patronage 
of transient guests who “‘just ran out to 
a cool spot to spend the night.’’ After 
leaving North Station at 5 o’clock in the 
afternoon, the train runs without stop to 
Magnolia in 42 minutes. It arrives at 
Gloucester at 5.51 o’clock, and in but 
very little more than an hour from the 
time they left Boston, tired and weary 
city folks can find themselves on broad 
verandas close by or directly over the 
water, where there is no sound save the 
lapping of the waveson the beach and 
the deep baying of the sea-hounds far out 
in the night. In the morning, the ex- 
press starts at Rockport and arrives at 
Gloucester at 8.06 o'clock. Between 
Gloucester and Boston there is but one 
stop—Magnolia—and business men who 
have come down for the night, alight in 
North station at 8.56, just in time, if 
lucky in making transit, to reach the of- 
fice door on the stroke of nine. Many 
have already awakened to this new ad- 
vantage and are making the most of it. 
The new train also permits cottagers who 
go to town every day on business to make 
the trip much more conveniently. 
Guests who arrived at the Hawthorne 
Inn during the last week were H. C. 
Cobb and family, Boston; Mrs. O. P. 
Hughes, Miss Olive Ware Hughes and 
Miss Grace D. Rider, Mrs. R. Van 
Voorheis and Miss R. Van Valkenburg, 
New York City; Mrs. A. J. Parker, jr., 
Albany, N. Y., and William B. Morgan 
of Chicago. 
At Merrill Hall, the following have 
registered for the season: Mrs. Martha 
W. Meyer, Falls City, Neb.; Mrs. C. 
L. Williams and Miss Lillian Williams, 
Newtonville, Mass., Miss Louise Don- 
nally, Miss E. W. Vanderbilt and Mrs. 
Oscar Feher, Washington, D. C.; Miss 
K. C. Soloman, Miss A. P. Soloman 
and Miss M. C. Soloman, Sumter, 
S. C.; Mrs. R. H. Kelly, Miss Mar- 
guerite Kelly, Miss Francis Kelly and 
Mrs. Gamble, Pittsburg.

ALONG THE CAPE ANN SHORE 
ROCKPORT 
—_— 
** Old Mother Ann,’’ as she stares 
out to sea, is anxiously watching for the 
first sign of the North Atlantic battleship 
fleet due at Rockport on July 7 for the 
summer manoeuvres. For ‘‘ Mother 
Ann,’’ in all that she thinks and does, is 
but a reflection of Cape Ann people, 
who look forward to the coming of the 
dreadnoughts as the great social and busi- 
ness time of the year. ““One week 
with the sailor laddies,’’ the saying goes 
along the Cape, “‘ is better than the other 
51 weeks put together.”’ 
Rockport will see much of the battle- 
ships before the actual manceuvres. Or- 
ders which have been issued giving of- 
ficers and men shore leave for four days 
beginning July 2 place the big Idaho at 
Rockport on the Fourth of July. This 
will mean all kinds of festivities. On the 
morning of July 7, the entire North At- 
lantic fleet will assemble off Rockport 
and the manceuvres will then begin. 
The big summer event this week along 
the Cape Ann Shore was the opening of 
the Turk’s Head Inn. _ It opened Wed- 
nesday under conditions which Manager 
Martin says were never before equalled. 
Every indication points toa big season. 
Nearly every cottager is down for the 
season up Pigeon Cove way. At the 
« hotels, too, all who have engaged rooms 
ahead, have arrived. “The newcomers 
this week at the Glen Acre were Mr. 
and Mrs. Leonard Stone of Boston, Miss 
Elizabeth Garlick, Miss Emma Mc- 
Neely, Miss E. J. McNeely, William 
McNeely and nurse, Providence, R. I. ;

rude E. Chappell, Rochester, N. Y.; 
R. W. Jackson, New York City and 
Mrs. A. I. Doyle of Beverly.

House were Mrs. F. D. Tarlton, Wa- 
tertown, Mass.; Miss E. L. Wandell,

Brown, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Jones, J. 
H. Peckham, H. B. Tumby, and Mr.

Conn.; O. J. Tomlinson, New York 
City, Miss Mabelle B. Blake and Mrs.

Ala., who has been living at the Glen 
Acre for several weeks, has engaged the 
Hubbard cottage on Andrews Point for 
the season and will be cozily settled early 
next week. It is expected that Mr. 
Gazzam will come up from the south 
later in the season.
