WHERE IS DUTTON? 
Twenty-Five Employes of the Masconomo 
House Would Like to Know at Once. 
Austin A. Dutton, the season’s man- 
ager of the Masconomo House, left town 
in a sensational manner Saturday leaving 
behind, it is said, over a score of unpaid 
employes. Dutton was seen running 
across the meadow on Beach street 
toward Smith’s Point about 10.30 0’ clock 
Saturday morning and it is common re- 
port that he put out to sea ina motor 
boat owned by a man named Adams, a 
son of the convicted ‘* Policy King,’’ 
*“Al’’? Adams of New York. Adams 
was Dutton’s financial support in leasing 
the hotel. It is said that Dutton owes 
his help $1600. Although it is reported 
that Dutton is now in New York, noth- 
ing definite has yet been received regard- 
ing his whereabouts.

North Shore Horticultural 
Decides to Incorporate. 
The regular meeting of the North 
Shore Horticultural society was held in 
Lee’s hall, Manchester, last Friday 
evening, Sept. 3. The subject of in- 
corporation was discussed and it was 
voted ‘‘ That the committee on incorpor- 
ation be instructed to take the necessary 
action that will lead to the incorporation 
of this society.’’ 
The committee desires to _ state 
through the Breeze that it will secure 
the necessary blanks from the Commis- 
sioner of Incorporation and will present 
same for signatures at the next regular 
meeting, Sept. 17. It may be necessary 
to hold a special meeting for further 
business, including the adoption of by- 
laws and election, or choice of officers 
of the coporation. 
The membership of the society is 
made up of gardeners and many that are 
not gardeners, including members of the 
summer colony, from all along the 
North Shore, and this move on the part 
of the society will be met with much in- 
terest by the members who did not at- 
tend the meeting last week. The 
matter has been under discussion from 
time to time for the last five years. The 
committee originally was of five mem- 
bers and was made up of James B. 
Dow, Herbert Shaw, Alfred E. Parsons, 
William Till and the late John Baker. 
The vote on the question of incor- 
porations was 94 to 2 in favor. 
Among other business transacted at 
the meeting last Friday evening was the 
election of Julius F. Rabardy to honor- 
ary membership; W. E. Morris of 
Gloucester was elected a member; 
Walter B. Jackson was rendered a vote 
of thanks for assistance given the show 
committee. 
The subject for discussion at the next 
meeting, Sept. 17, will be ‘‘ Gladiolii.’’ 
B. Hammond Tracey of Cedar Acres, 
Wenham, as announced in our last issue 
will be one of the speakers. Mr. Tracey 
gave a very interesting lecture on this 
subject two years ago. The Discussion 
Committee has promised him a good 
reception and hopes for a large attend- 
ance at the meeting, also that every 
member will come prepared for a good 
debate and bring with him a few spikes 
of gladiolii or other seasonable flowers. 
Society 
Sacred Heart Church Fair. 
The fair held in the Manchester 
Town hall, all last week, in aid of the 
Sacred Heart church, Manchester, came 
to an end Monday night of this week 
with a grand ball. The hall was fairly 
packed and a very successful party was 
held. The fair was a splendid success, 
in every particular, and netted much 
profit, toward paying for the new church 
and parochial residence. Fr. Powers, 
who has taken up his new field of work 
in Chelsea, was here during the fair to 
assist in carrying it to success. 
On Monday night the result of two 
very interesting contests in which every- 
body was interested, was announced. 
The contest between Miss Mary Davey 
and Miss White for a gold watch, re- 
sulted in the former’s victory. Miss 
Davey had $230.30 to Miss White’s 
$130.00. In the other contest, also for 
a gold watch, between Mansaul Bowers 
and Jerry Mullens, Bowers won. He 
had $214.60 to Mullen’s $71.50. 
E. C. C Employes’ Ball. 
The 14th annual ball of the Essex 
County club employes was held last night 
in the Town hall, Manchester, and like 
those preceding it, was a grand success. 
It was the largest attended party of the 
season and was in many ways the prettiest 
and most attractive of the season. Stiles’ 
orchestra of Lynn furnished the music. 
A splendid concert was given between 
8.30 and 9.30, and dancing continued 
until 2 o'clock. The stage was beauti- 
fully decorated with ferns and palms and 
cut flowers. The dance was conducted 
under the direction of an efficient corps 
of officers as follows: Reception com- 
mittee, Patrick J. Kelleher, chairman, 
Lawrence Mead; committee of arrange- 
ments, John J. Lavin, John Puttick, 
Bernard J. Doyle; floor marshal, John

Colby, Charles Griffin, Dennis Ma- 
honey, John J. McManus, Aubrey T. 
Roode, Jules H. Ibarra, Charles Grube,
