_SOCIETY NOTES 
Social life along the North Shore has centered at 
‘the Essex County club this week. Tennis has been the 
big attraction,—ladies handicap singles and mixed 
doubles. The two particular features of the tourna- 
ments this year in contrast to those of former years 
is the large number of entries and the snap with which 
the playing was pushed along. Every day every match 
‘in each round was finished ready for the next day’s 
play. It has been more like a real tennis tournament 
than any yet held at the club. And the tournament 
has been followed with greater interest by non-players 
,than ever before. The courts have been lined with 
people all the week. Many little tea and luncheon par- 
ties have been occasioned by the tournament and all 
‘in all the events have been a pronounced social success. 
_ The ladies tennis committee is composed of Misses Mar- 
garet Thomas and Margaret Curtis, and the men’s com- 
mittee of George E. Warren (chairman), Nelson S. Bart- 
lett, jr., Alfred S. Dabney, Wallace Goodrich and John 
Reece. The following were matched to play in the

‘SOCIETY NOTES 
The annual Magnolia tennis tournament, which is 
becoming, year by year, the great rival of the Newport 
tournament, is to be held on the Oceanside courts be- 
ginning Saturday, August 7th. The tournament is be- 
ing managed by Sidney R. Overall of St. Louis, now a 
guest at the Oceanside, and to whom all communica- 
tions in regard to the tournament should be addressed. 
The several events, in which competition will be open 
to all amateurs who care to try, will be ladies’ singles, 
men’s singles, ladies’ doubles, men’s doubles and mixed 
doubles. A trophy-cup will be awarded to the winner 
of each event. The entries close at 7.30 o-clock Thurs- 
day evening, August 15th, and the drawing of times and 
places where each will play, will be held on Friday the 
16th. All who intend to participate are urged to make 
entry at once. The fee charged is $1.00 for each event, 
the total of which will go to defray the cost of the tour- 
nament. Entry blanks may be had by applying per- 
sonally or by letter to Mr. Overall. The tournament will 
be played on the Oceanside courts and those desiring 
to practice for the tournament, may have the use of the 
courts by appointment. One of the interesting features 
of the tournament will be the competition for the Mag- 
nolia Challenge Cup. Miss Eleanora Sears already owns 
two legs of the cup and comes to this show to defend 
her title against all challengers. Should she ‘win again, 
the cup will go to her permanently.
