The H. Mortimer Brookses will re- 
turn to Manchester this summer. 
They have taken a short lease of the 
Gardiner M. Lane estate for July 
and August while Mr. Lane and 
family are in Europe. 
x— 
A. Lithgow Devens and family wiil 
move into their new residence off 
Forest street, Manchester, early next 
month. Work on the house was 
started early jast autuinn and it is 
now practically completed. The 
family lived the last winter at the F. 
R. Spaulding house, West Manches- 
ter, so as to keep in close touch with 
progress on their new house.

Mrs. Harry Pratt McKean who 
has spent much of the winter in Bos- 
ton, with her mother, running down 
to the North Shore occasionally 
over the week-ends to be with her 
sons who are at Harvard, left this 
week for her country home at Pen- 
lynn, Pa., where she will be joined 
shortly by Mr. MeKean, who sailed 
from England last Saturday, after a 
trip abroad. Their Pride’s Crossing 
house will be opened the latter part 
of this month for a while, but the 
family will not move to the Shore 
permanently until June.

John R. McGinley and family, of 
Pittsburg, will sumner at’ Manches- 
ter again this season. Last year 
they did not come to the Shore until 
late on aecount of sickness in the 
family, and they then took a cottage 
at Kastern Point, Gloucester. The 
report gained prevalence that they 
had this year taken a long lease of a 
property on that part of the Shore. 
but it is apparently unfounded, for 
they have leased for the coming sea- 
sen the Frederick C. Stevens house 
on Smith’s Point, Manchester, 
through the agency of T. Dennie 
and Reginald Boardman.

Mrs. Edward N. Rantoul is to

street, Beveriy Farms, this season.

Mrs. Charles B. Porter will oceu- 
py the Cushing cottage on Hale

Flying Machines On North Shore 
This Summer. 
The-North Shore will probably see 
its first flying machines the present 
season. The building for housing 
the Herring-Burgess machines dur- 
ing their stay at Plum Island aviation 
grounds is now virtually completed, 
and last Saturday the first craft 
was taken down from the factory 
at Marblehead. A number of experi- 
mental flights have taken place this 
week, and before long the aviation 
school which is to be conducted 
there for purchasers of Herring- 
Burgess aeroplanes, will be in full 
swing, and will be the first of its 
kind in the country. The Wrights, 
it is true, are now teaching a num- 
ber of aviators to fly at Montgom- 
ery, but these are professionals, and 
are to exhibit the Wright craft in 
various cities throughout the coun- 
try. 
The flying field which Mr. Burgess 
has secured at Plum Island is well 
suited to the purpose, and will af- 
ford a clear and comparatively level 
surface of several miles in extent, 
and is, moreover, so situated as to 
secure freedom from the interfer- 
ence of the crowd of curiosity seek- 
ers which is always found gathering 
to see a novelty. Furthermore, 
owing to its proximity to the sea 
that foe of the aviator, the wind, 
will be more apt to be steady than 
in other places which might have 
been seleeted 
And at Manchester! Well, we are 
unable to state anything definite. 
Harold M. Bater, the automobilist, 
so well known along the North 
Shore as the former proprietor of 
the garage and machine shop, oppo- 
site the Manchester railroad station, 
has been abroad this winter study- 
ing aviation. This firm (now the P. 
Hl. G. Bennett Co.) will not be in 
the rear when this newest sport be- 
comes active, we venture to say. 
They have excellent accommoda- 
tions and equipment at their place 
on Lansdowne street, Boston, as 
well as at their North Shore branch 
in Manchester. 
Mrs. T. DeWitt Talmage, an annu- 
al summer guest at Magnolia, is en- 
tertaining, at her Washington resi- 
dence, Miss Annie Wheeler, daugh- 
ter of Gen. Joseph Wheeler of 
Wheeler, Fla.

Col. and Mrs. Harry EH. Russell 
have opened their cottage at Man- 
chester Cove for the season. They 
lived in Boston the past winter.

The members of the George Lee 
family were happily reunited for 
the Easter holidays, Mrs. Lee and 
Miss Bessie Lee returning from Ber- 
muda and Harry Lee from Europe. 
aiter a most delightful trip. Their 
house at Brookline has been nearly 
doubled in size the last winter by 
the addition of a large wing, which 
makes it well adapted for large 
parties and dances. It was used for 
the first time last Saturday evening, 
when Miss Marjorie Lee gave a 
party for a large number of her 
voung friends. The family will net 
move down to their Beverly Farms 
place until June, as usual.

‘‘The statement that M. Witte 
will sueceed Baron Rosen as Rus- 
sian ambassador to the United 
States is again making the rounds of 
official cireles, following advices 
from St. Petersburg,’’ says the Bos- 
ton Transcript. ‘‘The change, 
which is scheduled for October, it is 
said, is not only in line with the usu- 
al transfers of Russian diplomats 
scheduled for the latter part of this 
year, but also hinges upon the fu- 
ture Russian-American policy now 
being planned by the Russian 
authorities. Owing to M. Witte’s 
knowledge of Far Eastern affairs 
and also his wide experience as a 
financier, there is reason to believe 
that Russia plans a far-reaching 
campaign in the Orient, with the ap- 
proval of this country. The fact that 
Baron Rosen will return to Russia, 
ostensibly on leave of absence, some 
time late in the autumn, lends color 
to the probability of this report, 
which first reached Washington sey- 
eral months ago.’’ The North Shore 
bas been the summer home of the 
Russian embassy for the last five 
years. M. Witte spent much of his 
time at Manchester with Baron 
Rosen during his visit to this country 
as one of the pleni-potentiaries in 
the settlement of the Russo-Japanese 
war.
