NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Real Estate and Improvements 
..- Up and Down the North Shore... 
Richard S$. Lovering is having plans 
prepared for a house to be built in 
Manchester, off Beach street and Old 
Neck Road, on land recently purchas- 
ed from R. L. Raymond. His family 
is now occupying the Raymond cottage 
and the new house will be built quite 
near that. The Loverings make their 
year-round residence in Manchester. 
Mrs. Lovering is a daughter of Mr. 
and Mrs. Amory Eliot, who also 
spend practically the whole year in 
Manchester.

William B. Walker has had many 
improvements made in landscape work 
during the winter on his beautiful 
estate “Highwood,” at West Manches- 
ter,among them being the building of 
a splendid flight of cut stone steps 
leading from the lower avenue up the 
steep hill to the cottage, one of the 
longest flights of steps on the North 
Shore. On either side and extending 
the entire length is being set hundreds 
of shrubs of a golden hue exclusively, 
which has given the steps the eupho- 
nious name of “The Golden Stairs.” 
Two car loads of shrubs and trees 
arrived last week. for this estate. 
IN YACHTING: CIRCLES. 
Marblehead will be the center of the 
yachting universe the first two weeks 
in August, with the Corinthian Mid- 
summer week, Aug. 3—9, and the 
New York Y. C.’s visit and the East- 
ern Y. C. annual regatta the next 
week. 
Unless the arrangements are chang- 
ed New York Yacht Club fleet will 
rendezvous at New London on 
Tuesday, Aug. 5, late in the afternoon. 
There will be the usual formalities 
of holding a meeting of captains on 
board the flagship Sea Fox. From 
New London the squadron will sail 
on Wednesday, Aug 6, for Newport, 
and the yachts will fill Newport 
Harbor for two days. On Thursday, 
Aug 7, the races for the Astor Cups 
will be sailed and on Friday, Aug. 8 
there will be the race for the King’s 
Cup. 
On Saturday morning the fleet will 
get under way for Vineyard Haven. 
The next port to be visited will be 
Provincetown, which is about 78 
miles from Vineyard Haven. ‘The 
course to Provincetown takes the 
yachts over the dangerous shoals and 
‘‘And to paint these home pictures we need 
chiefly American material. We must face this 
deadly parallel:”’ 
it has been thought advisable not ‘to 
make it a race. The yachtsmen will 
proceed at will on Sunday, Aug Io, 
taking advantage of tides and wind, 
but those who would like to race will 
be able to do so on Monday, so that 
the fleet will gather again in the quaint 
harbor at the head of the Cape on 
Monday evening. There will be a 
race across Massachusetts Bay to 
Marblehead on Tuesday, Aug. 12. On 
Wednesday the yachts will sail to 
Gloucester and back to Marblehead 
and the regatta of the Eastern Yacht 
Club will be sailed on Thursday, Aug. 
14. After that the fleet will disband. 
A PoniticaL Boss 
A young lady reporter on a country 
paper was sent out to interview lead- 
ing citizens as to their politics. 
“May I see the gentleman of the 
house?” she asked of a large woman 
who opend the door at one residence. 
“No, you can’t,” answered the wo- 
man, decisively. 
“But I want to know what party he 
belongs to,” pleaded the girl. 
“Well take a good look at me,” she 
said sternly. “I’m the party he be- 
longs to.”—Judge.

McConNELL AND SIMPSON AT B. F. 
Ketrn’s THEATRE 
A great all-star bill of features, all 
but one new to Boston audiences, is 
announced for B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
next week, headed by Lulu McConnell 
and Grant Simpson in Herbert Hall 
Winslow’s entertaining comedy, “The 
Right Girl.” This is by far the most 
amusing comedy seen in vaudeville in 
many a day. It deals with a case of 
double identity, two sisters separated 
from childhood, who meet the same 
young man under extraordinary cir- 
cumstances, and are mistaken for each 
other The role of the twin sisters 
is played by Miss McConnell, and 
there is a laugh every minute they are 
on the stage. James and _ Bonnie 
Thornton, two of the best known en- 
tertainers of the old variety days, will 
make their first appearance in Boston 
in years at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
with a new act; and other splendid 
features new to Boston audiences.
