YACHTING, GOLF, TENNIS 
AND OTHER SPORTS ——— 
Along the NORTH SHORE 
wie the Burgess Co. & Curt!s 
“concern interesting scions of 
wealthy families to come to Marble- 
head and try out the new Burgess- 
Dunne hydroplane, aeronautics _ is 
developing into more and more of a 
sport every day. Following close on 
the heels of Vincent Astor’s deter- 
mination to fly comes the purchase by 
Harry Payne Whitney of New York, 
~ of one of the Burgess machines. Mr. 
Whitney, who is an ardent sportsman 
in all branches and who is just as 
efficient as a polo player, yachtsman, 
hunter and all around athlete as he 
intends to make himself an aeronaut, 
plans to do considerable flying on the 
North Shore this summer. Flying is 
not a new diversion for Mr. Whitney, 
however, as he has been interested in 
aviation as a sport for some time. 
For 10 years he has been a member 
of the Aero club of America and 
was interested in aeronautics when 
the Wright brothers were making 
secret experiments. That was where 
he really obtained his inspiration to 
fly and when he saw the new Burgess 
machine recently, which is practically 
proof against disaster, he decided to 
invest in one for himself. His hydro- 
plane will be the regulation Burgess- 
Dunne machine, fitted with a 100 h.p. 
engine. 
Golf and tennis will hold for the 
first time on June 17 at the new 
Kernwood Golf club at Salem. At 
that time the clubhouse will receive 
its informal opening and 500 guests 
are expected. A wonderful trans- 
formation has been brought about on 
the 153 acres which comprise the old 
Col. Peabody estate. Situated as it 
is on the Danvers river and literalty 
cut in two by this stream, the situa- 
tion is considered ideal. One of the 
finest nine-hole golf courses in the 
state will be opened up within a few 
weeks and already a temporary Six- 
hole course is enjoyed. When com- 
pleted an 18-hole course that will 
harly be duplicated anywhere in this 
section will be had. 
The win of Leon B. Paton of the 
Danvers Homestead club over the 
Champion Ouimet at Brookline last 
Saturday brings another wonderful 
golf artist into the sporting limelight. 
Paton has been wielding the clubs for 
SPRAYING AND 
INSECT WORK 
16 years and promises to outdistance 
any of his recent competitors before 
many seasons elapse. 
Despite the fact that the sond=r 
races scheduled for this year at Kiel, 
Germany, have been called of on ac- 
count of the war and the internation- 
al races for the Lipton cups have 
been cancelled for the same, reason, 
there will be plenty of yachting sport 
for North Shore folk. The fleet of 
the New York Yacht club is due to 
arrive at Marblehead harbor during 
the week’of August 8. For the first 
time in history the fleet will make the 
run from New London, Conn., to 
Marblehead through the Cape Cod 
canal. After a stop of a few days on 
the North Shore the annual cruise to 
the coast of Maine will be taken. 
Patrick Doyle of the Myopia Hunt 
club and Thomas Kerrigan of the 
Dedham club leave today for Bal- 
tusrol, N. J., to take part in the na- 
tional “open” golf tournament whicn 
starts next Monday. They are two 
of the best known professional golf- 
ers in the state and later in the sea- 
son will be seen in three exhibition 
matches for a purse. The first match 
is to be held at Myopia on July 15; 
the second is scheduled for August 
15 at Dedham; the final match will 
be held on the course of the Brook- 
line Country club. 
REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM 
For the fifth week of the Star 
Stock season at the Majestic Theatre, 
beginning next Monday, June 14th, 
the management of the Lonergan 
Plavers has secured Miss Edith 
Taliaferro to appear in the delightful 
play, “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” 
in which she achieved such notable 
success when she played the part in 
Boston for the first time in 1910 at 
the Tremont Theatre. Since then 
Miss Taliaferro has appeared in divers 
characters, but none afforded her the 
opportunity to display all her win- 
someness, naivete and charm better 
than “Rebecca.” 
The Kid—“Mr. Knagg gimme this 
parcel an’ said “Take this to my good 
wife.’ ”’ 
Mrs. Knagg—‘“The bigamist! | al- 
ways suspected that he had another.”
