There has been so much newspaper 
talk about President Taft and family 
coming to the North Shore and _ his 
‘agents’? have looked over so many 
places, according to the reports, that it 
would take a life-time to live for a sum- 
mer at each of the places he is ‘““known”’ 
to have hired. The fact is Mr. Taft 
has not yet definitely decided where he 
will spend the summer, though we un- 
derstand from one very closely connected 
with him that if he comes to New Eng- 
land at all he will come to Manchester. 
There is no truth in this talk about his 
hiring the “‘ Ramparts’’ at East Glou- 
cester. It is known that Mr. ‘Taft in- 
tended to come to Manchester last sum- 
mer and a house was hired for him at 
Coolidge’s Point, practically. But he 
was prevented from coming on account 
of the campaign. [tis not at all unlikely 
that the President and his family will 
have the Edward Robinson house off 
School street Manchrster, we learn from 
a reliable source. ‘This is right opposite 
the Essex County club and only a few 
rods from the W. J. Boardman summer 
home. It is said that Miss Mabel Board- 
man and Mrs. Taft were at Manchester 
last Monday to look over the Robinson 
house, coming from Boston by auto. 
It is very likely that if they come to Man- 
chester at all they will have either the 
Robinson or the Mason house. 
Mrs. Henry Pratt McKean is to give 
a large dance at the Bellevue-Stratford in 
Philadelphia on Friday, April 23, for her 
two young sons, Henry Pratt McKean, 
jr., and Quincy A. Shaw McKean. 
Boylston A. Beal and family are to 
have the J. Randolph Coolidge cottage 
at Smith’s Point, Manchester, again the 
coming season. ‘The Bealses had the 
place two years ago. Last year they 
were abroad, and the Italian ambassador 
had the house. 
The Harvey Childs cottage at Man- 
chester Cove will be occupied the com- 
ing season by Porter Pollock and family 
of Pittsburg. 
The Neal Rantouls will not spend the 
summer at Beverly Farms, as they are 
planning to sail on April 19th fora four 
months’ auto tour of Europe. 
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Leland are ex- 
pected to arrive in New York today 
from their European trip. They will 
open their West Manchester cottage 
early this spring. 
We understand the J. Arthur Brookses, 
who are living at Milton this winter, are 
to return to Manchester among the first 
of the summer contingent. “They will 
come about May 1, and are to occupy 
the Bullard cottage at Old Neck, as 
stated previously.

The John Caswells, we understand, 
are to open theircottage at Beverly Farms 
quite early this spring. They may be 
here about the middle of April. 
The Swift farm, on Brimball avenue, 
Beverly, is being closed out. This farm 
was a hobby of the late E. C. Swift, of 
Pride’s Crossing, New England repre- 
sentative of Swift and Co. He operated 
it as a model farm. He bred there 
splendid farm animals, and raised some 
of the finest horses, swine and poultry in 
New England. Showing the value of 
his farm stock is a recent sale of 1500 
Wyandotte hens, at an average price of 
$1.50 apiece. 
In the schedule of the Mass. Golf as- 
sociation for the coming season, May 31 
and Oct. 2 are set asthe dates of the 
open tournaments at the Myopia Hunt 
club, and July 15 to 17, and Aug. 19 to 
21 as the date of the tournaments at the 
Essex County club, Manchester.
