CAPE ANN.—The terror in which the New Jersey coast 
has been thrown by the killing of bathers by man- 
eating sharks is a subject much talked about on Cape 
Ann. It is no wonder that some of the hundreds of 
bathers who take their daily dip into these waters have a 
“scarey” feeling when they enter the deep water. One 
prominent New York business man was heard to remark, 
“It takes some courage for us city folks to face the 
‘water sharks,’ yet in the danger there is some fun 
after all. It’s like flying and motor racing, knowing that 
there is danger, there is more ginger in the sport.” How- 
ever, bathers on Cape Ann need have no fear from man- 
eating sharks, as that species is not known in this locality. 
It is the opinion of Gloucester fishermen that it would be 
an almost unheard of thing for a shark to attack a person 
in these waters. The Boston Fish Bureau and old fisher- 
men of Massachusetts Bay have stated that they have no 
knowledge of man-eating sharks in these waters. No 
less a person than William Ernest Castle, Ph. D., pro- 
fessor of zoology at Harvard, says that Boston and _ vi- 
cinity has little to fear from sharks. Bureau officials be- 
lieve a lack of food may have brought them to the middle 
Atlantic coast in great numbers, from the waters farther 
south. 
John Hays Hammond is now here from New York 
City where he was seriously ill with intestinal trouble. 
Mr. Hammond contracted his illness while in Chicago 
attending the National Republican Convention. Mr. 
Hammond is recuperating nicely at ‘Lookout Hill,” his 
beautiful estate at Fresh Water Cove, where the cool 
salt sea breezes drift through fragrant pine branches 
about the estate. Mrs. Hammond arrived from New 
York a few days ago. 
A movement has been started for the citizens of 
Gloucester to purchase the site of land on Western avenue, 
which was occupied by the Surfside hotel, burned down 
three years ago. Through the suggestion of Proprietor 
George O. Stacy of the Hawthorne Inn and other promi- 
nent citizens of Gloucester, it is purposed to make a public 
park of the land. This will indeed be most desirable as 
a magnificent view of the outer harbor is obtained from 
this point besides leaving an open view from the avenue 
and Main street. The encouraging report comes from 
the treasurer for this fund that over a thousand dollars 
has already been donated . Any person wishing to con- 
tribute towards the good work can communicate with 
John Cunningham, Main street, Gloucester, treasurer of 
this special fund. 
On Wednesday afternoon and evening, July 26, a 
garden party will be held on the Cape Ann Fisherman’s 
Home grounds, Eastern avenue, Gloucester, for the bene- 
fit of the Home. The Ladies’ Auxiliary association has 
the affair in charge and the usual booths attending such 
an affair will be stocked for patronage. The party is 
being held for a most worthy cause, as the Home is a 
pleasant abiding place for fishermen past labor or infirm 
and the institution is supported ‘only by voluntary con- 
tributions or assistance on social occasions. 
AST GLOUCESTER.—Although 2000 guests are 
housed at the various hotels in this colony of the 
North Shore at the present time, the resorts are by no 
means filled to overflowing. ‘There is yet room for more. 
However, the heated weather is driving the people from 
the cities and by the first of August practically every- 
thing will have been taken. The Hawthorne Inn has the 
largest number of guests of any house and during the 
week-ends all rooms are occupied. 
Percy Lee Atherton of Boston, the composer, is at 
the Hawthorne Inn for the summer. 
The annual garden party given on the estate of the - 
Misses Lathrop, Rocky Neck, East Gloucester, for the 
benefit of the Children’s Island Sanitariam, Marblehead 
Harbor, was held on Friday afternoon. ‘The party was 
attractive in its setting, a flower stall being a feature and 
tea ‘was served at prettily decorated tables. A number 
of people from the hotels and cottages patronized the sale 
and the afternoon was one of much pleasure. 
A card party was given at the home of Mrs. Harriet 
W. Patch on Eastern Point road on Friday afternoon at 
2.30 o'clock, the proceeds to be given to the local Red 
Cross committee to buy material and clothing and equip- 
ment necessary in the Red Cross base hospitals near the 
Mexican border.

Richard W. Spalding of Brookline has purchased the 
estate of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Albert Locke of Hacken- 
sack, N. J., situated on Ledge road, at the rear of Mt. 
Pleasant avenue. This charming cottage, containing 
eight rooms and two baths, is located in a picturesque 
spot on the hill and the outlook is most attractive, moor 
and sea being in the landscape. “The Birches,” which is 
July 21, 1916.
