AGNOLJIA Beach is destined 
to become more popular 
than ever, the coming ‘season, 
_ through the formation of The 
North Shore Swimming Pool and 
. the execution of plans of that or- 
ganization, which are as attractive 
as they are novel. The accompany- 
ing sketches convey a comprehen- 
sive idea of the delightful location 
which the clubhouse will have at 
} Kettle Cove, Magnolia, between 
' Magnolia Point and Coolidge Point, 
‘ and show the working plans, while 
_ a few facts and figures will show 
‘how many-sided are to be the in- 
¢terests which the project will em- 
brace. 
For the purposes of the club 
there have been purchased 48,000 
feet of land, with 120 feet of beach 
front and rights ; also, there have 
been leased 45,000 feet, with 100 
: feet additional beach front. There- 
: by the club has a stretch of fine 
beach centrally located at the head 
of the Cove, facing the area where 
the Magnolia horse shows have 
{been held. The property has been 
| purchased and leased by the Mag- 
(nolia Beach Associates, of which 
‘Charles W. Jones, Lucius Tuttle 
nasi Costello C. Converse are trus- 
,tees; but the active operation and 
sii eal is to be in the hands 
-of the club previously named, hav- 
ing a limited membership and sub- 
ject to moderate dues. 
“ The clubhouse is to be 93 by 58 
feet, the main floor to contain a 
‘large living room, 40 by 30 feet, 
‘tea rooms, men’s den, serving room, 
‘etc. There will be ample facilities 
for afternoon teas, bridge parties 
‘and affairs of such nature. The 
‘lower floor is to have two wings, 
58 feet long, the roofs of which 
4Wwill be made for a promenade to 
fit in-with the scheme of a 15-foot 
(piazza entirely around the building, 
giving a-continuous walk of about 
600 feet. 
| On the ground floor of the main 
building and in the wings there will 
pe 175 bathing apartments, a kitch- 
en, jaundry, tennis locker rooms, 
for both men and women, and four 
shower baths. Between the wings 
will be located one of the most 
complete swimming pools in the 
ountry, built of cement and install- 
2d by the Simpson Brothers Com- 
pany. The pool will be 70 by 30, 
nd the «water will be pumped di- 
zect from the ocean by electric mo- 
‘or. ‘There will be a maximum 
depth of nine feet and minimum of 
four feet and the temperature of 
the water will be several degrees

higher than that of the ocean. 
Such matters as drainage, lighting 
and ventilation have received care- 
ful attentionand the pool will be 
emptied and ‘refilled each day. A 
six-foot cement walk will surround 
the pool. 
The management also is consid- 
sidering the addition of a bath- 
house, where hot and cold salt-wa- 
ter baths can be given, with the 
services of an attendant. A young 
man, a member of one of the col- 
lege swimming squads, has been 
engaged to teach swimming and 
diving, besides having the care of 
young children whose’parents wish 
them to have the benefits of a 
teacher. Therein the club will be 
doing an important practical ~ser- 
vice, for it is becoming more and 
more the general opinion that abil- 
ity to swim is a highly desirable 
asset. 
Among the plans for the pool is 
that it can be engaged. a-limited 
number of hours per week ,outside 
of midday bathing hours, for classes 
of friends and acquaintances, and 
already one, embracing a number 
of young women interested in out- 
of-door sports from the North 
Shore, is considering the engage- 
ment of the pool for one or two 
afternoons per week. 
Another highly pleasing feature 
of the project is that the members 
can have their choice between salt

water bathing in the pool or in the 
ocean. The bathing apartments, 
which are on the same floor with 
the pool, also exit to the beach. 
Those who do not care for the rig- 
ors of the ocean bathing will have 
the pool at their service, and others 
who like salt water bathing will 
not be obliged to wait for the tide. 
Besides the different projects of 
the club already enumerated, there 
will be a number of tennis courts, 
located beyond the pool toward 
Raymond street. Adjacent to them 
will be locker rooms, shower baths 
and other-conveniences. Additional 
courts can be laid out on the leased 
land if the demand for them war-

rants such a move. There also is 
a large parking space for automo- 
biles. 
The club starts with a member- 
ship of more than one hundred, 
composed of subscribers to stock 
and their families. On account of 
the limited number of bathrooms 
the membership will probably be 
limited to two hundred during the 
present season. 
The entire amount of $50,000 has 
been taken with the exception of 
$5000, which is in the hands of the 
executive committee for allotment 
to such members as desire to have 
the privileges of stockholders rather 
than a season membership ii the 
club. 
Some of the subscribers for the 
stock are: Mrs. William McMillan, 
St. Louis; George F. Willett, Cool- 
idge Point; John Hays Hammond, 
Gloucester; William H. Coolidge, 
Costello C. Converse, Charles W. 
Jones and Lucius Tuttle, Boston ;

J. Harrington Walker, Detroit; 
Samuel M. Kennard, St. Louis;

Mrs. M. C. Wick, Youngstown; 
Horace H. Stevens, Miss 
Faulkner and E. C. Righardsou, 
Boston; Mrs. H. G. Curry, ee

Horace H. Stevens is ee 
and the executive and building 
committee are Samuel M. Kennard, 
Charles W. Jones, William H. 
Coolidge, J. Harrington Walker, 
Costello C. Converse, George F. 
Willett and Frank S. Chick. 
Andrews, Jaques & Rantoul are 
the architects. M. Kehoe of Mag- 
nolia, the builder, will have the 
clubhouse completed in about two 
weeks. The excavation -for the 
swimming pool has been completed 
and the cement bottom installed. 
The expectation is that the entire 
work will. be completed and the 
club take occupancy about June 15. 
Our Front Cover PictuRE 
On our front cover this week 
we reproduce an old-time picture 
of School street, Manchester, 
taken in the square, just in front 
of where the two drug stores are 
now located. In general lines the 
street is the same now as then — 
40 years ago. In most cases the 
buildings are still standing. 
On the right is seen a little 
group of trees. It was a small 
pear orchard on the street corner, 
where now stands Lee’s block in 
which Allen’s drug store is located. 
The first building seen was the 
home of Henry Lee. It is still 
there and is occupied today by An- 
drew Lee. The sign on the build- 
ing is that of Smith’s Express Co. 
‘The next building seen is the Wm. 
D. Giles house, now the home of 
Mrs. Charles Hooper. Next may 
be seen the Henry Knight house, 
now the home of Miss Martha C. 
Knight, and the last building seen 
is ine Burgess house, still sth 
and occupied at present by Jas. H 
Rivers’ and other families. 
On the left side of the street 
may be seen a group of men in 
front of what was then Lee’s drug 
store. The first figure is the late 
Henry Lee, next thie late Frank 
Lee. The next to the last figure 
in the group is Charles O. Lee. 
Hammocks and a croquet set may 
be seen in front of the store. The 
building was owned by Mrs. Reed 
and is now that part of Rowe’s 
block occupied by G. A. Knoerr 
and the Postal Telegraph Co. 
The next building was the old 
Engine house, now joined to the 
third building seen in the picture, 
then Craft’s grocery. The two are
