John L. Saltonstall has just returned 
to his Beverly. Cove home after a two 
weeks’ gunning trip at Knott’s Island, 
N. C. Mr. Saltonstall was recently 
elected a councilman from ward 4 in the 
city of Beverly. One of his colleagues, 
Augustus P. Loring, j*., of the Pride’s 
Crossing summer colony, was elected an 
alderman from that section of the city. 
Mr. Loring has just returned from a 
short trip to Florida. Dr. John C. 
Phillips of Wenham, who was in the 
South with Mr. Saltonstall, returned 
home last week.

In a foreign golfing paper Bernard 
Nicholls is credited with having done a 
hole of 200 yards at Myopia in one 
stroke in the year 1905. There was 
no hole of 200 yards in leneth at Myopia 
in 1905 and there is no such hole now. 
The 9th hole at Myopia, the bull rushes, 
is 140 yards and has been done in one 
stroke several times; the third, the punch 
bowl, 250 yards, also has been done in 
one stroke; these arethe only two holes 
onthe links at all likely to be done in 
one, though the first green, 240 yards 
uphill, has been reached in one stroke 
and so has the green at the 16th, the 
paddock hole, 265 yards, down hill.

The destruction of Hotel Titchfield at 
Port Antonio, one of the best known 
houses in the West Indies and a favorite 
stopping place for many of our best 
known North Shore cottagers and hotel 
guests, brings another loss to Ainslee & 
Grabow, who have such extensive hotel 
holdings on the North Shore and various 
other points in this section of the coun- 
try. Charles H. Mowry, for many 
years manager of the New Magnolia be- 
fore its destruction, and for the past two 
‘or three years with the Ocean House at 
Swampscott, has been identified with the 
Hotel Titehfield for many years.

The death of Mrs. Emma H., wid- 
ow of the late Thomas Emerson Proctor, 
Monday, at her Boston home, 273 
Commonwealth avenue, removes anoth- 
er of the best known North Shore resi- 
dents. The family’s summer home is 
at Beverly Cove. Mrs. Proctor was 
69. She leaves two sons and two 
daughters.

Mr. and Mrs. Preston Gibson (nee 
Grace Jarvis), who have recently taken 
possession of their house at 17th and N. 
Sts., in Washington, have inaugurated a 
series of brilliant dinners which will prove 
among the most delightful of the social 
functions at the capital this winter.

Active in the Boston Tavern club’s 
festivites on New Year’s, in their club 
rooms on Boylston place, were Henry L.

Goodrich and Gardiner M. Lane of the 
Manchester colony and Arthur Foote, 
the noted composer, who with his family

The birth of a son recently in Wash- 
ington to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beale 
McLean has great interest for the North 
Shore contingent, since Mrs. McLean is 
the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas F. Walsh of Washington, who 
occupied the Hood cottage at Manches- 
ter during the season of 1903 and the 
Shore folk were all agog then at the com- 
ing of the mining king and the partner 
of the late King Leopold of Belgium. 
Manchester people have very pleasant 
remembrances of: the family who despite 
their immense wealth proved most dem- 
ocratic and generous. ‘The little baby 
born “‘to the girl who has everything,’’ 
is sole heirto the McLean and Walsh 
fortunes said to be from eighty to one 
hundred millions. The little baby’s life 
has been hanging in the balance and _ the 
mother, too, has been critically ill. 
arne Mabel Rein of Wakewen 
and Manchester has been active in the 
entertainment of Miss Helen Taft and 
Robert Taft, who have been at home from 
college for the holidays. The festival in- 
cluded a dinner followed by a dance in 
the club rooms of the Colonial Dames, 
Washington.

In Washington, tomorrow, an after- 
noon reception will take place, with John 
Hayes Hammond and wife of Glouces- 
ter as host and hostess. The occasion 
will mark a most hospitable opening of 
their winter residence at 1500 Rhode 
Island avenue. Mrs. Grover Cleveland, 
who was entertained last summer on the 
North Shore by Mrs. Hammond, is now 
in Florence, Italy, and a guest of Con- 
tessa Lazzari.

At the beautiful ball at the Bellevue- 
Stratford, Philadelphia, December 30, 
given by Mr. and Mrs. George D.° 
Widener in honor of their debutante 
daughter, Eleanor Elkins Widener, 
young ladies of the North Shore colony 
present included Misses Cintra Hutchin- 
son and Eleanora R. Sears of Beverly 
Farms and Alice Acheson Scott of Bass 
Rocks. Previous to the ball various din- 
ners were given, the Sidney E. Hutchin- 
sons giving one at their residence, 1718 
Walnut avenue, in honor of Miss Marion 
Almy.

Judge W. H. Moore of Pride’s Cross- 
ing, on his recent arrival in New York 
from Chicago, disclaimed any responsi- 
bility in the recent spectacular fluctuation 
of Rock Island R. R. stock in which 
company he is a leading official. The 
New York exchange in the investigation 
of its brief and mysterious actions have 
come to the general conclusion that it 
was due to too much festive Christmas 
gaiety on the part of an investor. Judge 
Moore recently acquired large interests 
in the Lehigh Valley R. R. Co.

President Taftand Mr. and Mrs. Les- 
ter Leland of Boston and West Man- 
chester have been recent contributors to

$1000. Contributions can be sent to 
Dr. Dixwell of Boston or Judge Sumner 
D. York of Gloucester,
