The most pleasing announcement 
along the Shore during the last week was 
that which came from the summer capi- 
tal to the effect that President Taft and 
his family will be at Beverly next year. 
All arrangements for their stay, so far as 
tenancy is concerned, have been com- 
pleted. The President made the an- 
nouncement personally and emphasized 
the pleasure which he has had in passing 
his first vacation as President on the 
Shore. He said that the way the Shore 
people have treated him has been exceed- 
ingly agreeable and for this he expressed 
his utmost appreciation. While it is 
impossible to forecast the future, it is 
probable that the President’s stay at Bev- 
erly next year will last two or three 
months. The next Congress will have 
no tariff bill to struggle with and will pro- 
bably adjourn in early June. While it 
will be congressional election year, the 
long autumn trips will be few and it is 
likely that the President will be on the 
shore until Oct. 1. 
One of the early autumn events that 
will prove of much interest to North 
Shore people will be a private dog show 
at Robert Jordan’s kennels at Wenham. 
The plans for the event are yet imma- 
ture, and the dates not yet decided upon. 
It will probably be on the first week in 
October. 
Secretary of the Treasury Franklin 
McVeagh was a guest of Mrs. Levi Z. 
Leiter of Beverly Cove during his visit to 
Beverly last week. Edwin V. Morgan, 
one of the younger American diplomats 
who has had a very eventful career, and 
who is now United States minister to 
Cuba, has also been a guest at the Leiter 
home recently. Mr. Morgan’s first 
diplomatic post was as secretary to the 
High Commission of Samoa in 1899. 
The next year he was made secretary of 
the legation to Korea; the next, second 
secretary of the embassy to Russia; the 
next he was brought home to actin the 
State Department at Washington. In 
1904 he was made consulto Dalney, 
Manchuria and, in 1905, minister to 
Korea. Inthe following year he was 
made minister to Cuba, a post which he 
has held since.

was that given at ‘* Vil al Mare,’’ the 
delightful summer home of the George

given on Wednesday evening and was an

MANCHESTER 
Many of the North Shore young 
people are taking active interest in pigeon 
flying and have become members of the 
West Lynn Homer Club. Among such 
are the McKean boys at Pride’s Crossing. 
On almost every day of the last week 
pigeons have been let loose from various 
points. On Thursday of last week the 
pigeons were let loose from Lowell; on 
Saturday they were started from Ayer, 
Monday from Gardner and on Tuesday 
from Miller’s Falls. Harry McKean 
has some 45 Homers and he has been 
using 30 of them in these flights. His 
birds are most all the sons and daughters 
of 500 and 600 miles birds. The pigeons 
are shipped to these places and set loose 
at a certain hour. 
Mrs. F. L. Higginson will give a 
children’s party at her Pride’s Crossing 
estate Saturday afternoon. About 60 
boys and girls have been invited. Sports 
will be indulged in and some sort of en- 
tertainment will be provided. 
The Masconomo House at Manches- 
ter closed its doors this morning for the 
season. Manager Dutton says he has 
an option on a five years’ lease of the 
property and that he intends to come 
back next year. The hotel has had the 
best season in years. At times as many 
as 125 guests were registered at the hotel, 
and not since early July has there been 
less than fifty, all of which would indi- 
cate that the hotel if modernized and 
properly managed would regain its old- 
time prestige as the leading hotel of the 
North Shore,
