Hotel PRESTON, Beach Bluff, judging from its 
long list of August visitors, benefited in a material 
way by the occasion of the yacht cruises of the past week 
at Marblehead. In consequence, practically every room 
is engaged for August. 
The most brilliant social event of the Preston’s sum- 
mer season will take place Saturday evening, August 22nd, 
on the occasion of the second formal ball of this popular 
summer hostelry. ‘This event is looked forward to with 
great pleasure by the society guests of the Preston, to- 
gether with Beach Bluff’s “Four Hundred,” and promises 
to be one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. 
___ A new innovation, and evidently a pleasing one to the 
guests at the Preston, are the Thés Dansants. Every after- 
noon the lobby presents a most pleasing sight witih the 
older people seated here and there enjoying their after- 
noon tea, while the younger set dance in the spacious 
and beautiful ballroom set off from the loggia. 
_ The Sunday orchestral concerts never seem to lose 
their popularity. Scores of society people from the 
nearby cottages at Beach Bluff wend their way to the 
Preston every Sunday evening and greatly enjoy these 
weekly musical treats. 
Great interest and co-operation is being shown by 
the guests of the Preston in the organization of the base- 
ball team which so ably represented the hotel on the dia- 
mond Wednesday afternoon of last week, when they 
met one of the strongest teams along the shore, the team 
from the Masconomo hotel, Manchester. ‘The game was 
very interesting all through and the playing of Patsy 
Taylor was spectacular, and led in a strong way to hold 
the final score as close as 6 to 4 against the Preston. 
A number of guests witnessed the game. Next Tues- 
day the team expects to meet the New Ocean House of 
Swampscott, and great interest is being taken. A close 
contest is expected. Philip Page, a season guest at the 
Preston, has been selected to guide the destinies of the 
team for the season.

Dorothy and Elizabeth, of Pittsburgh, have arrived at the
