NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The public has shown its appre- 
ciation of the goodwill of the pro- 
prietors of Greenwood Farm in open- 
ing its gates. Such a public spirit 
ought not to pass without commen- 
dation. 
~The Lynn contractor who dined 
his creditors and repaid the  out- 
lawed debts of an honest and un- 
avoidable bankruptcy is worthy of 
a Carnegie medal. This was _ busi- 
ness of a high order. 
The success of the Gardner and 
Guild clubs, the one in the interests 
of the congressional campaign .and 
the other in the state senatorial con- 
test, nlainly shows that this is a re- 
publican year. 
The Democratic party had the one 
chance in its life to win the fight for 
the Presidency ; but what chance they 
had was lost in the Baltimore Dead- 
lock. 
The sick in the Beverly Hospital 
have beautiful views and_ unsur- 
passed medical and nurse attention, 
but they also love flowers: A word 
to the wise! 
The spirit of a ‘‘sane fourth’’ has 
arrived and the absence of the old 
time rowdyism and hoodlum antics 
on the shore yesterday argues well 
for the future. 
Remember the Floating Hospital 
on the next sultry day.

Foss Will Stop Noisy Boats 
The noise of the unmuffled motor- 
boats will no longer be heard on 
either land or water if Gov. Foss can 
suppress it. He has announced his 
intention of enforcing rigorously 
the Mass. law which, passed in 1909, 
requires the use of underwater ex- 
hausts or mufflers in all boats pro- 
pelled in whole or in part by gas, 
gasoline or naphtha. 
The plan of campaign includes a 
series of raids on motor-boat owners 
who are not complying with the 
statute, and the crusade will begin 
as soon as it can be determined 
whether the state fisheries steamer 
Lexington, manned, by the state po- 
lice, can be used in suppressing the 
nuisance. 
One of the most recent expres- 
sions of public opinion on_ the 
subject is the formation of the 
Motor Boat Muffling association, 
with Ellerton James of Nahant, 
as its presiding officer. This 
organization, which aims to have the 
law enforced, has sent out hundreds 
of circular letters asking for as- 
sistance in the eollection of evi- 
dence against motor-boat offenders. 
Among the many complaints re- 
ceived is one from @G. Loring 
Briggs, manager of the Boston 
Floating Hospital. He writes: 
“The Boston Floating Hospital 
accommodates 120 permanent pati- 
ents who are cared for both day 
and night. Oftentimes one-third of 
these children are on the dangerous 
list or so eritically ill that it is a 
matter of life and death with them, 
and of course our mortality is large, 
as we receive the most desperate 
eases. We also take care of 120 
day patients, either ailing or con- 
valescent, accompanied by their 
mothers.’’ 
“It will be apparent that motor 
boats passing our ship, either dur- 
ing the day or at night, when it is 
anchored in the harbor, cause us a 
great deal of annoyance. The sim- 
ple passing of a fisherman’s boat or 
a boat used by a man in the course 
of his business is serious enough, but 
23 
in addition our patients suffer from 
the noise of pleasure boats which 
cruise around us in order to inspect 
our institution, disturbing the quiet 
of our patients, so essential to their 
proper care and recovery.”’

B. F. Keith’s Theatre. 
Never before in the history of B. 
F. Keith’s theatre in Boston, has 
this beautiful playhouse housed 
such a summer attraction as ‘‘The 
Meistersingers Camping Out.’’ This 
magnificent scenic production, in 
which the Harvard, Shubert and 
Weber male quartets of Boston, ap- 
pear, is without question the most 
superb spectacular effort ever 
staged in vaudeville. The beauti- 
ful scene showing a camp on the 
shores of the Rangeley lakes, the 
realistic lighting effects, and the 
splendid voices of ‘‘The Meister- 
singers,’’ all combine to make this 
the greatest summer attraction ever 
seen in Boston. For the _ second 
week of ‘‘The Meistersingers’’ lim- 
ited engagement, a complete change 
of program will be made, with new 
soloists. Surrounding this great 
feature will be one of the strongest 
vaudeville shows ever. arranged. 
New England Resorter 
“The Intimate Monthly Magazine with a National Reach’’ 
The July Issue now on All Newstands 
The Gazette, Worcester’s leading evening paper, says of the 
June REsorTER: 
The first or the May number of the ‘‘Resorter’’ 
33 Beach Street 
struck a pace that was amazing, yet we find the same 
fully maintained in that for June, possibly the speed is 
somewhat increased, and it must be prized most highly 
by those who spend any considerable portion of their 
time at the shore or among the mountains. | Worces- 
ter readers will take a deal of interest in the full page 
half-tone showing Mrs. Lucius J. Knowlesand her two 
children, and dwellers in other localities will regard 
with equal zest the faces of their respective fellow re- 
sorters by sea or height. The frontispiece represents 
that famous old watermill, with overshot wheel, of 
New London, Conn. ‘“Onthe Road to Restland’’ is 
a fine bit of imaginationwith a practical ending, while 
‘Little Pastime Jeurneys’’ will prove valuable to the 
seeker of just such information. Mary Emery Smith 
manages to include a deal of very entertaining gossip 
in ‘‘Behind Quaint Doorways.’’ ‘‘Vermont and the 
Three Magicians,’’ will turn many a tourist toward the 
Green Mountains. Illustrations are all superb and the 
text is in perfect accord with the pictures. $1.50 a
