VIEW OF SWIMMING POOL 
ia THE PRAISE accorded the new North Shore Swim- 
ming pool by those who inspected the quarters dur- 
ing the entire day of the Fourth is any criterion, the new 
Magnolia organization is going to increase the popularity 
of Magnolia Beach many fold. Many of the hundreds 
who visited the pool and club rooms on the holiday 
showed their material appreciation of the efforts of the 
members of the organization by engaging the pool on cer- 
tain days and hours during the remainder of the sum- 
mer. ‘The new pool serves admirably the double pur- 
pose of affording improved bathing conditions on the 
beach and greatly adding to the attractiveness of the 
beach itself, and the social life of the North Shore. The 
clubhouse, 93 feet long and 58 feet wide, is centrally lo- 
cated at the head of the cove, facing the area where the 
Magnolia horse shows have been held. In addition to 
the 48,000 feet of land with 120 feet of beach front and 
rights, which were leased previous to the building of the 
structure, the officers of the club have also leased 45,000 
more with 100 feet more of beach front. The property 
was purchased and leased by the Magnolia Beach Asso- 
ciates. of which Lucius Tuttle, Charles W. Jones and 
Costello C. Converse are trustees, but the active manage- 
ment is in the hands of the club membership. In the 
front of the building are a large living room, tea rooms, 
men’s den, serving room and other rooms, providing ample 
facilities for afternoon tea, bridge parties and other social 
affairs. ‘The lower floor has two wings, each 58 feet 
long. The roofs of these have been so made as to form 
a promenade with the 15-foot piazza, giving a contin- 
uous walk around the building of more than 600 feet. 
On the ground floor of the main building are 175 bathing 
apartments, a kitchen, laundry, locker rooms and shower 
baths. At present the membership of the club is more 
than 100. During the present season it will probably be 
limited to 200, pending the construction of more bathing 
rooms. Between the wings on the ground floor is one 
of the most complete swimming pools in the country. It 
is of cement and is 70 feet long and 30 feet wide, with 
a maximum depth of nine feet and a minimum depth of 
four feet. The water is changed twice daily and_ is 
pumped direct from the ocean. In passing from the ocean 
to the pool the temperature of the water is raised several 
degrees, making it possible for those for whom the ocean 
is too cold, to enjoy constantly the advantages of salt 
water bathing. The pool also obviates the necessity of 
regulating the bathing hours to the tide. Several classes 
are planning to engage the pool a_ certain number of 
hours each week outside the midday bathing hours. One 
class in particular, composed of a number of young wo- 
men interested in out of door sports along the North 
Shore, has engaged the pool for two afternoons a week. 
Besides the bathing facilities, the club also has other 
attractions, including a large number of tennis courts, 
laid out beyond the pool toward Raymond street, and a 
large parking space for automobiles.
