NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Vy aszeszeszVsszeceeceeetece 
Regarding the plans of President Tate 
and his family and their summer on the 
North Shore, it is probable that the 
President will spend a quiet summer 
here. A despatch says: ‘* The Presi- 
dent’s plans for the summer as far as 
Aug. 15, have been completed. Mr. 
Taft will leave Washington as soon as 
he can arrange matters after the adjourn- 
ment of Congress, and has been told 
that the extra session will end June 1. 
The President will go direct from the 
White House to his summer home at 
Woodbury’s Point, Beverly, 4nd_ will 
spend two months or more there as 
quietly and as free from official worries 
as possible. President Taft will devote 
most of his vacation to golfing, motoring 
and perhaps will take short cruises along 
the northern coast. “The reassembled 
Atlantic fleet of sixteen battleships will 
manceuvre off the New England coast 
during the summer, and the President 
undoubtedly will want to see some of 
the work of the ironclads.’’ 
“* Villa Crest,’’? the Walter D. Den- 
egre estate at West Manchester, has 
been opened, though the family has not 
yet settled here for the season. Mr. 
Denegre was on from New York part 
of this week. 
Mrs. R. H. Bancroft and daughters 
of the Beverly Cove summer colony 
sailed for Europe Tuesday. They will 
be joined the latter part of June by Mr. 
Bancroft, andthey will remain abroad 
all summer. 
Among the arrivals of the week at 
Manchester are the George E. Cabots, 
who opened their cottage on Smith’s 
Point Monday. Mrs. C. P. Hemen- 
way, Mrs. Cabot’s mother, came a few 
days ago, and next week, on the 29th, 
Mr. Taintor and family are expected. 
Dr. and Mrs. Reginald H. Fitz and 
Miss Edith Fitz, of the West Manches- 
ter summer colony, left Boston early 
Monday for New York, where they 
made their headquarters at Hotel Wol- 
cott, sailing Tuesday on the Kronprin- 
zessin Cecille. Dr. and Mrs. Fitz are 
expected to occupy their West Man- 
ce . 
chester estate, The Mountain,’’ dur- 
ing the late summer. 
Mr. and Mrs. Neal Rantoul and Miss 
Rantoul sailed Wednesday fron New 
York on the Kronpinzessin Cecile for an 
ocean trip. [They will motor abroad 
about two months, returning to their 
summer home in Bey erly Farms in late 
June. 
Mrs. Henry W.. Peabody, Mrs. 
Franklin Dexter, G. T. Dexter and 
Miss Harriette Dexter of the North Shore 
colony sailed Wednesdayon the Saxonia 
for a trip abroad,

Changes at Essex County and Myopia 
Hunt Clubs. 
In last Saturday’s issue the Boston 
Transcript commented on changes and 
improvements at the Fssex County and 
Myopia Hunt clubs, as follows: 
Midsummer tournaments at the Essex 
County Club have attained great popular- 
ity, the last three or four years, and now 
that the club has made a fresh axe raid 
upon some of its woods, with the idea 
of providing freer play and fewer out-of- 
bounds, the links are bound to make a 
better impression upon visitors. The 
club has some golfers with progressive 
and up-to-date ideas and the visit of Wal- 
ter J. Travis, last fall, drew from that 
master of the game a number of sterling 
ideas which are being acted upon. One 
change that will be greatly appreciated 
will be the elimination of the two cross 
bunkers at the thirteenth hole, which 
were an aggravation and not conducive 
to good golf.. The hole will be length- 
ened to two full shots. New traps will 
be set in about the course, deep and filled 
with sand. 
At Myopia. 
When the Myopia Hunt club at Ham- 
ilton gets a new trap on its classic course, 
golfers in general want to know about it, 
and to see it. In other words, Myopia 
is the standard bearer of the golfing 
world this side of the Atlantic, and pro- 
blems of the links are threshed out there 
in the most thorough fashion before 
moves are made. ‘The chief alteration 
since last season is at the tenth hole, the 
“‘Alps,’’ and Herbert C. Leeds is en- 
thusiastic over it, so much so that he 
thinks it equal, if not superior, to any 
other golf hole in the world. The hole 
is 400 yards long, and the drive is over 
an elevation not undeserving of the name 
which the hole bears. A slice lands in 
a peck of trouble down in “‘ Jonesville,’’ 
so-called, a series of pot bunkers; a 
pull is dangerously near the stone wall 
and out-of-bounds. A good drive hith- 
erto has left the player a reasonably sim- 
ple second shot to the green, with noth- 
ing to impede the roll of the ball and an 
incline to help the final stages of the 
roll. 
Now there is a deep trap straight 
across the fair green, guarding the put- 
ting green, and it is a case of carrying 
that trap or playing safe by going short. 
To carry it means two long shots, under 
ordinary circumstances, and with a strong 
following windthe problem will be to 
carry the trap @nd not go too far; with 
an adverse Sana: it will puzzle the player 
to know whether to take a chance on 
getting safely over, or play short and take 
the pitch of seventy-five yards or so. 
But woe betide the player who goes into 
the trap! Itis perhaps fifty feet long
