The Hawtharne Inn still has 85 guests who will re- 
main until the closing of the hostelry on September. 22. 
William K. Harcourt, the English actor of note and 
his actress wife Alice (Fischer) Harcourt, left Haw- 
thorme Inn several days ago, for New York. The Hai- 
courts have been at the Inn since June and are very much 
attached to the place and East Gloucester. Mr. Harcourt 
is an ardent yachtsman and golfer. He sails the Sumakt 
in the 18-foot class in the Gloucester Yacht club races. 
Mrs. Harcourt has been a leading spirit in the social life 
of the Hawthorne Inn and figured prominently in the 
Ttalian Festa held at the John Hays Hammond estate 
last month. Mrs. Harcourt had charge of considerable 
number of the arrangements,

Registrar of Probate Horace H. Atherton, Jr., chairman 
of ‘the Sandy Bay breakwater on the part of the Essex 
Ceunty Associated Boards of Trade, has practically com- 
pleted a somewhat exhaustive report on the breakwater 
proposition, which was inspected a few weeks ago by a 
committee corposed of John H. Wheeler of Newbury- 
port, John F. Browning of Salem, and Registrar of Pro- 
bate Atherton. It is believed that it will “be friendly to 
Cape Ann’s wishes in the matter. It is expected that the 
report of the breakwater committee will be submitted in 
about two weeks, when the regular quarterly meeting is 
to be held.

ANNISQUAM. The summer social season at Annis- 
quam is drawing to a close. ‘There have been many 
departures both from hotels and cottages the past week. 
The afternoon teas and dances at the yacht clubhouse are 
over and the delightful, informal parties, so popular il 
summer will be anticipated for another season. There is 
some entertaining, however, at private houses and at the 
Barnacle tea house, there are small teas and card parties 
held almost daily, 
[ARB SLEHERAD and the Neck summer colony holds 
out well in its-numbers. - A glimpse of the Neck 
shore line after dark would not prompt one to believe 
that_it was after Labor Day. Lights illuminate nearly 
every house and the yacht clubs and hotels provide an air 
of brilliancy and habitation that is far from a season-end 
appearance. And guests in the hotels and boarding houses 
are holding out well, many planning to remain on the 
siiore until the first of October. The yacht clubs are 
moderately busy, considering the lateness of the season. 
Two more of the Friday evening parties will be held 
at the Corinthian Yacht club owing to a demand by mem- 
bers for more of these delightful social affairs. One will 
he held tonight and the last one comes next week. Formal 
parties are tabooed after Labor Day but the Corinthian 
and Eastern Y. C. seem to hold out well in attendance. 
The Oceanside hotel on Marblehead Neck has had 
Raf Cervino the Cuban consul at Boston, as a guest of 
late. He enjoyed his stay on the shore immensely and 
went in for the sporting pleasures in this section to a 
degree which made some of the natives sit up and take 
notice, to use the vernacular. 
Lieut. Renwick, guest at the Oceanside, found much 
pleasure in attending the manoeuvers at Plattsburg, N. Y., 
in the business men’s training camp there.
