NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Vol. Manchester, Mass., Friday, July 26, 1912. 
SOCIETY NOTES 
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan leaves the North Shore to- 
day after a most delightful stay of two weeks at The 
Oceanside, Magnolia. She has passed a very quiet fort- 
night amid the charming surroundings offered at Mag- 
nolia, and has done little else than drink in the beauties 
of the shore and take short motor trips here and there 
during her stay. That she is pleased with her visit is 
evidenced from the fact that she has already made in- 
quiries concerning one of the Oceanside cottages at 
Magnolia for next season. Mrs. Morgan is leaving Mag- 
nolia in time to motor back to the Morgan summer es- 
tate at Highland Falls, N. Y., leisurely in season to meet 
the famous financier on his return from Europe. He is 
now on the way over. Mrs. Morgan plans to stop to- 
night at The Tavern, in Mansfield, and she will make a 
two-day stop also at Kenneth Ridge Inn, Watch Hill, 
R. 1., the hotel conducted by Dan J. Sully, the former 
eotton king. She will then motor on to the Hotel Taft 
at New Haven and from there to Highland Falls.

The revival of the Magnolia water carnival and 
sports is enlisting the interest of people all along the 
North Shore, as well as the hotel guests and cottagers 
at Magnolia. It is four or five years since the last 
water carnival was held at Magnolia. It has _ been 
definitely decided to hold the event this year. Tuesday, 
the 13th of August has been decided upon as the date 
of the event. An interesting program is being arranged. 
Not only will there be water sports, but there will be 
beach events and the afternoon will wind up with an 
automobile parade. The aquatic events will include: 
100-yard swim for men and boys over 16; half-mile swim 
for men and boys and obstacle swim for men and boys; 
50-yard swim for girls under 16; quarter-mile swim for 
women and girls over 16; 50-yard swim for boys under 
16. A feature of the afternoon that will be enjoyed by 
the visitors to Magnolia, especially to such as come from 
the west, will be the high-diving and life-saving exhibi- 
tion by a crew from the Coastguard Life-saving station. 
The beach events will include a quarter-mile run on the 
beach and 100-yard dash. There will be wrestling and 
burlesque boxing, some very novel and funny stunts be- 
ing included in this number. Silver cups will be given 
the winners of the above events. The closing event will 
be an automobile parade on the beach. Silver cups will 
be given for the best decorated car and a consolation 
will be given for the most ridiculously dressed ear.

SOCIETY NOTES 
The first of two dinner dances at the Essex County 
club to-night will bring out the most brilliant gather- 
ings of society on the North Shore this summer. Pro- 
vision have been made for a score of tables, seating in 
all very nearly 200 people,—the limit. Many more 
would take tables were there room. And it is safe to 
say that every section of the country will be represented 
at this gathering with its best known and most repre- 
sentative families, for the North Shore is getting to be 
quite cosmopolitan in the make-up of its colony. Sev- 
eral of the embassies and legations will likewise be rep- 
resented there. The tables will be beautifully decorat- 
ed and the grounds will be illuminated with colored in- 
candescents, strung about through the trees and into 
the tents and among the tables and seats on the lawn im- 
mediately in front. Among those who will have tables 
and who will entertain will be: Mrs. James C. Barr, 
12; Mrs. W. B. Thomas, 12; Mrs. Arthur Doane Cook, 
9; Miss Mabel I’. Boardman, 12; Mrs. Prescott Bigelow, 
8; Mrs. William H. Coolidge, 8; Mrs. George E. War- 
ren, 8; Mrs. Thomas McKee, 10; Mrs. William F. Drap- 
er, 14; Mrs. J. H. Kampmann, 6; Mrs. D. B. Hussey, 5;

event of the summer at Magnolia that all North Shore 
society looks forward to. It is the one big attraction 
that fills the hotels to overflowing and brings August 
to a brilliant ending. The date has been decided upon 
as Wednesday, August 28th. The details of the show 
have not yet been arranged, but Manager J. Henry 
Coulter, the well known Back Bay riding master, who 
has a summer place at Magnolia, says there will be ten 
harness and saddle classes and four races. It will be 
strictly an amateur show. Sterling silver cups will be 
given in all the events and ope prizes in all the races.

ably one of the best known men in the country to-day in 
the automobile business. 
Mrs. Edward Small Moore and her little family of 
three interesting children, have come on from Lake Fovr- 
est, Ml., to spend the balance of the summer, dividing
