take place on Easter Monday, April 12,

The death of Mortimer B. Mason, 
which occurred last Saturday at his Bos- 
ton home, brings additional gloom into 
a large and prominent family connection. 
The family is still in mourning for Mrs. 
Mason, who died at the Manchester 
summer home last June. Mr. Mason 
has been in poor health for some years, 
and he was a sick man last summer. 
He is survived by a family of five sons 
anda daughter. ‘Iwo of the sons are 
married, one, Charles Mason, living on 
the South Shore summers, and the oth- 
er, Herbert Warren Mason, living at 
Manchester. The other sonsare Dr. M. 
Phillips, Harold and Austin Mason, all 
grown up, andthe daughter, Miss Miri- 
am) is the youngest of the family Mr. 
Mason will be greatly missed by Man- 
chester people. He has been a member 
ofthe summer colony here for many 
years and he will be remembered by 
those who knew him as a kind-hearted, 
liberal-spirited and very democratic sort 
of gentleman. 
Another death in Boston last week 
was that of Mrs. Pickering, widow of 
the late Henry Pickering, one of the old- 
est of the summer colony at Old Neck, 
Manchester. Mr. Pickering died less 
than two years ago. Mrs. Pickering 
was a Grew, sister of Henry S. Grew of 
Manchester and Boston, and also of 
Mrs. W. Scott Fitz and Mrs. Edward 
Wigglesworth of the Manchester colony. 
Mrs. Bartlett, mother of the Misses 
Fannie and Mary Bartlett of the Old 
Neck, Manchester, summer colony,

much of her time summers with Mrs. 
James T. Fields at Manchester, is very 
ill at Mrs. Field’s home on Charles

Canadian organization would not chal- 
lenge this year for the Seawant:aka Cup, 
now held by the North Shore yachtsmen. 
Official notice was also given of a chal- 
lenge for the trophy in 1910. 
Some time ago the Canadians com- 
munited with the Manchester yachtsmen 
on the matter of a challenge and some 
informal correspondence was carried on. 
There was also an informal conference 
of representatives of the twoclubs. The 
Manchester boys are very much tied up 
with the sonder class this year, and in- 
timated to the Canadians that they would 
very much prefer not to receive a chal- 
lenge this season as they would have their 
hands full with the visiting German 
yachtsmen. ‘Theysaid, nowever, that if 
the Canadians instisted on challenging, 
they would build a'boat to defend the tro- 
phy. 
‘Their position was plainly stated and 
the Canadians accepted the situation 
gracefully, although it means that there 
will be no races for the Canada’s Cup or 
the Seawanhaka Cup this year. The 
Manchester Yacht club will accept the 
challenge for a series of races in’ 1910 
andthe conditions governing the races 
will be the same as during the last series. 
Coming to Manchester ? 
A story gained circulation in the daily 
papers last week to the effect that 
President-elect Taft and family had de- 
cided to come to Manchester for the 
summer, and the story went as far as _ to 
say that the Charles Head house would 
be the home of the president and_ his 
family. 
We only hope the story has some 
truth in it, But we have been unable to

verify it. -On the contrary we have 
been informed by one who is in a_ pos- 
ition to know that no place has yet been 
decided upon as the summer home of 
the Tafts. 
That Manchester would be an ideal 
spot for the president and his family, and 
that the Head estate would be the finest 
suited estate in the town for this pur- 
pose, nobody will dispute. There are 
many reasons why Mr. Taft might well 
select Manchester. 
In the first place many of his friends 
live here,---such as the Boardmans, the 
Samuel Carrs. ‘Then again the foreign 
diplomats center around Manchester in 
the summer. ‘The President-elect is 
very fond of golf. Where are there 
better links than those at the Essex 
County club and at Myopia? 
And above all, where is there a more 
charming spot onthe New England 
coast, or anywhere else, than Manches- 
ter? Mr. Taft was here last summer — 
and expressed himself as delighted with 
the town and her beautiful surroundings. 
It is but natural for him to want to re-— 
turn. -
