NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1909. 
# Soriviy Notes « § 
The President left Beverly Tuesday 
afternoon and on Wednesday he started 
from Boston on his long’trip across the 
continent. The executive offices at 
Beverly have been closed, but Mrs. Taft 
is to remain on the North Shore for sev- 
eral weeks yet, probably until early 
November. It has been given out that 
she will remain here until Nov. 10. 
Robert A. Taft has gone to New Haven 
to take up his studies at Yale. Master 
Charlie sailed away on the Sylph the first 
of the week for New York and from 
there he goes to Watertown, N. Y., 
where he will attend his uncle’s private 
school. Miss Helen Taft leaves Bev- 
erly shortly for Bryn Mawrto resume 
her studies. Mrs. Taft's sister, Mrs. 
Lewis T. More has come up from her 
summer home at Biddeford Pool, Me., 
and will remain at Beverly until Mrs. 
Taft returnsto Washington Mrs. Taft 
has not entered much into society this 
summer, due to her poor health. Now 
that most of the season’s functions are 
over, she will, no doubt, be entertained 
more or less at small informal affairs - at 
_ various North Shore homes. She is de- 
lighted with the North Shore and its sur- 
roundings and will probably return to 
Beverly next season in early June. The 
President will arrive in June, too, pro- 
bably, and will be able to spend the 
whole summer here.

Mrs. Frances A. Lane, -after spend- 
ing the summer at Rye Beach, has re- 
turned to the North Shore for a short 
Stay at the Oceanside, Magnolia. She 
returns next week to her winter home, 
3640 West Pine Boulevard, St. Louis, 
Mo. fave 
wow 
Mrs. C. A. Munn and family, who 
have been motoring abroad all summer, 
are sailing for home on the 25th of this 
month. They will come to Manchester 
about the first of October to remain until 
the holidays. 
B. Hammond Tracy, proprietor of the 
famous Cedar Acres gladioli Farm at 
Wenham, is developing some new vari- 
ties. One particular variety that he has 
been propagating for the past four years 
he has named the “‘Mrs. J. H. Lan- 
cashire,’’ in recognition of Mrs. Lan- 
cashire’s Michigan garden and her inter- 
est in gladioli.

The Oceanside is having one of the 
most remarkable seasons in its history. 
Although the season is nearly over, al- 
most to the date on which the hotel has 
always closed before, Sept. 20th, there 
are still 250 guests booked and, over the 
week-end, this number will be largely

Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Mitchell and 
-son, John, returned last week on the 
Deutschland in New York from Europe, 
where they have been motoring the last 
two months. They are back to their es- 
tate at Manchester Cove to remain dur- 
ing the autumn. 
Mrs. Joun C. Howe’s Cotrace at West MANCHESTER, FORMERLY THE Hopkins COTTAGE 
increased. On this date a year ago, 
there were less than 200 guests at the 
hotel. Its increased patronage this year, 
the tendency of the guests to remain 
until the last moment and the large num- 
ber of bookings already made for next 
year speak plainly of the wide popularity 
which the hotel enjoys and the remark- 
able success of its management, Messrs. 
Phenix and Greene. 
Prof. A. L. Cross of the University 
of Michigan is spending three weeks at 
the Oceanside before returning to Ann 
Arbor to resume his pedagogic duties. 
He has been up spending his summer in 
New England, visiting the White Moun- 
tains and Poland Springs. 
Miss Katherine T. Andrews of Chi- 
cago is one of the latest guests at the 
Oceanside. She is a very handsome 
young woman and has many admirers 
about the hotel. She comes to Mag- 
nolia in September most every season, 
the autumn on the shore being more 
pleasant to her than the summer. 
F. H. Nash of Weston, Pa, arrived 
at the Oceanside Monday for the re- 
mainder of the season. Mr. Nash is a 
large and extensive manufacturer and is 
enjoying his yearly vacation, 
Mrs. Isaac G. Lombard, a guest of 
many seasons on the North Shore, re- 
turned to Magnolia early in the week 
after a two months’ stay at Osterville, 
Cape Cod. After spending a few days 
at the Oceanside, she returned to her 
home in Chicago.
