THE Boston Journal of July 23, con- 
tained ‘A Passing Inquiry into Beverly 
History,’’ in which it is roundly asserted 
that Cape Ann legends are comparative- 
ly few in number,’’ with special notice 
of the fact that L. G. Drake in his book 
on New England legends was ‘‘ hard 
pressed to make more than passing men- 
tion of Beverly.”’ Perhaps this may be 
explained by the fact admitted in the 
same article that Beverly was a part of 
Salem until 1688, a time covering nearly 
the whole of our legendary period. The 
North Shore as a whole from Beverly 
to Rockport, as well as Essex County at 
large, furnishes an interesting field for 
the collector of legends. Perhaps this is 
sufficiently evidenced by Whittier’s 
poems; a few instances are enough, as 
The Garrison of Cape Ann, The 
Witch’s Daughter, The Prophecy of 
Judge Sewall, Skipper Ireson’s Ride, 
The Swan Song of Parson Avery, Cob- 
bler Keezar’s Vision, The Double- 
pyeaded Snake of Newbury; many more

might be added contained in allusions 
as well as whole poems. Longfellow’s 
Wreck of the Hesperus and Holmes’ 
Broomstick Train will occur to every- 
one. ‘The History of Manchester by 
our former townsman, D. F. Lam- 
son, refers to many legends that belong 
to the old fishing days, and almost all 
parts of the coast have their store. The 
old legends are fast disappearing in these 
days of electrics and autos. 
““The great eventful Present hides the Past, but 
through the din 
Of its loved life hints and echoes of the life 
behind steal in; 
And the love of home and fireside, and the 
legendary rhyme, 
Make the task of duty lighter that the true man 
» oWes his time.’’ 
The fling at the “‘summer capital’’ is 
rather cheap wit; Beverly had a worthy 
history before the President took up his 
temporary abode there, and it may be 
presumed will have a worthy history after 
the President and sightseers and hangers- 
on depart. 
Ir is up to Manchester boat owners to 
get busy on the harbor illumination to be 
held on Thursday evening, Aug. 12. 
While this is being run under the auspices 
of the Manchester Yacht club it is by no 
means exclusive. The club wants every- 
body who has a boat or craft of any sort, 
from a canoe up to a steam yacht, to en- 
ter the procession of decorated boats. 
Why is it Manchester people do not 
show interest in these events? This 
water pageant can be made a big mid- 
summer event for Manchester. It means 
a great deal to the town. Wake up boat 
owners! Rig up your dory, your motor 
boat, your sail boat. Be in line even if 
you have only a half a dozen Japanese 
lanterns strung around*your boat! 
Tue Gloucester chauffeur: who says 
the fire, which did $12,000 damage the 
other night, was caused by a spark struck 
out from a spoke in the car by a monkey 
wrench, setting fire to some gasoline 
spilt in his pocket, is a pretty ingenious 
sort of a fellow. At any rate there was 
a fire, the chauffeur was badly burned, 
$2500 damage was done to a garage, 
a $9000 touring car was ruined and lots 
of excitement resulted. 
Memgprrs of the diplomatic corps who 
are on the North Shore this summer are 
exempt from the operations of the speed 
law. And for the convenience of the 
authorities their number plates will bear 
the letter ‘‘D.’? The real meaning of 
this will be. “‘ diplomatic,’’ but the North 
Adams Transcript thinks that to those 
who have to dodge for their lives it will 
stand for another term. inf 
" Who's, Who,”. on the ,North, Shore. 
The 1909 edition of ‘“Who’s Who 
along the North Shore’’ is the most pro- 
fusely illustrated North Shore Publica- 
tion ever issued. 
Beginning with an excellent reproduc- 
tion in colors of the president’s summer 
home on the front cover, the inside 
brings to view a dozen of the finest pho- 
tographic reproductions of this beautiful 
territory. Besides these there are scores 
of reproductions of prominent summer 
cottages along the shore. 
The real value of the book, however, 
lies in its vast amount of information 
concerning the North Shore. 
Every person owning or leasing a 
house on the shore is in the book, with 
complete information as to his location 
on the shore, his winter residence, his 
business address, his line of business and 
firm name, besides giving the wife’s 
name before marriage and names of chil- 
dren in the family. 
Besides there is information as to 
hotels, train schedules, mail schedules, 
etc., for every town on the shore. 
There is also a complete roster of the - 
membership of all the leading clubs of 
the North Shore and lists of the steam- 
ers, schooners, yachts and launches 
owned by the members of the yacht 
clubs. . 
A unique feature is a list of over 200 - 
residences that face the water front be- 
tween Beverly Cove and Magnolia, pre- 
pared with much care as to description, 
so that one can sit in a launch with book 
in hand and readily distinguish the names 
of the owners of the different estates. 
It is well gotten up and makes a very 
attractive volume for summer use. It 
has a large circulation among the shore 
residents. It is published by the Salem 
Press Co., Salem. Copies may-be pro- 
cured at the North Shore Breeze office, 
Manchester.
