HE renovated estate at Kernwood 
in North Salem on the Danvers 
river, now the home of the new 
~ Kernwood Country club, abounds in 
buildings of old English architecture. 
The mansion itself, which is typical 
of miniature castles of across the 
water, has not been disturbed as to 
its exterior finish or in the interior, 
except to add several rooms to bring 
it thoroughly up-to-date. The quaint- 
ly carved settings in the large dining 
room are all left intact, while a large 
glass-enclosed addition has been fin- 
ished to give a total capacity in the 
dining rooms of about 250. The 
large chapel in the mansion house has 
been converted into a reception hall. 
It is a beautiful room, with wonder- 
fully stained glass windows reaching 
from floor to ceiling and_ richly 
carved mahogony trimmings finished 
in English chapel effect. The house 
rests upon a high knoll, peering 
through countless trees down upon 
the river and along the immerse goif 
course. As far as nature is concern- 
ed, the new club is better endowed 
with beauty than any club along the 
entire coast.

At the Salem Golf club links last 
week a large crowd of onlookers saw 
Miss Vera Ramsay win a match from 
Miss Margaret Curtis, former state 
and national champion. ‘The tourna- 
ment was an invitation medal play of 
the Massachusetts Women’s Golf as- 
sociation. Miss Ramsay is an Eng- 
lish girl and has come to America to 
stay until the war is over. Althougi 
but 19 years old Miss Ramsay has 
practically been brought up on a golf 
course. The course used by the 
Leatherhead Golf club in Surrey, 
England, was laid out by Miss Ram- 
say’s father for his family’s use and 
it is only recently that the links have 
been leased for club use. Francis 
Ouimet says that if Miss Ramsay 
competes for the national cham- 
pionship in September, American wo- 
men will have their hands full dispos- 
ing of this young visitor from across 
the water. Miss Ramsay the other 
day playing from scratch, led a held 
of 17. She completed the 18 holes in 
88, winning over Miss Curtis by two 
strokes. 
The new Kernwood Country club 
on the Danvers river at Salem re-

and guests who attended the opening 
of the grounds, many trying out the 
new golf course and the tennis courts. 
Dinner was served for the first time 
in the new enlarged dining room and 
an orchestra furnished music during 
the afternoon and evening. E,very- 
one expressed complete satisfaction 
with the manner in which the old Col.

THE golf course at the Nahant club 
has been re-surfaced and gen- 
erally fixed up for play this summer. 
Although not the best course on the 
shore, it serves its purpose quite well 
and is a daily source of exercise and 
lively play by many of the Nahant 
colony. The tennis courts on the 
club grounds are also kept busy these 
days. The location of the Nahant 
club golf course is not ,what would 
be considered ideal, from the Pact 
that it is isolated by more than a 
quarter-mile from the club grounds. 
When the club was first formed, a 
golf course was not a part of the 
grounds and when it was added it 
was at a considerable distance away. 
This fact does not seem to detract 
from its popularity, however. 
Otto Glockler, formerly of the 
Boston Athletié association, Boston, 
has been engaged as lawn tennis in- 
structor at the Essex County club, 
Manchester, for the season, and is 
now prepared to give lessons. Book- 
ings may be made at the office or by 
telephone. 
The season team match in golf be- 
tween the Reds and the Blues at the 
Tedesco Country club, Swampscott, 
started yesterday with the four ball 
medal play. A 3-4 handicap was 
given each player, the best ball count- 
ing. Tomorrow the 18 holes medal 
play match will be pulled off. 
The first race in the schedule of the 
Eastern Yacht club of Marblehead 
Neck is on Saturday, June 26, when
