Society Notes 
S. Parker Bremer went down to 
Cottage City with a small party of 
friends in his steam yacht, Velthra, 
Thursday, but will return tomorrow 
so as to be here for the international 
races off Marblehead Monday and 
the days following. The Velthra 
has been selected as one of the 
euard boats and will act in that 
capacity with two revenue cutters. 
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Pratt Mc- 
Kean have returned to Prides Cross- 
ing from their European trip. They 
will remain on the shore now till 
the season’s close. 
W. S. Spaulding and a party of 
friends returned to Prides Crossing 
Sunday from a cruise down the 
Maine coast in the Isis. 
H. C. Pierce returned to Prides 
Crossing Sunday after a_ short 
eruise along the coast as far as Port- 
land in the Yacona. 
Augustus P. Loring and family 
left Prides Crossing Monday for a 
three weeks’ camping trip on their 
island off the Maine coast, where 
they go every year about this time. 
Charles Cotting’s sailing tender 
won the race in the Manchester 
Yacht club series Saturday after- 
noon. There were five other en- 
tries, finishing in the order named: 
R. W. Wigglesworth, F. A. Bemis, 
G. Wigglesworth, H. S. McKee and 
Norman Reed, the latter two not fin- 
ishing. 
Samuel Carr, who has an attrac- 
tive summer home, “The Jungle,” 
on Jersey lane, West Manchester, 
has recently purchased one of the 
old farms in Southboro, not far from 
the Montgomery Sears place. 
The entry list in last Saturday’s 
golf at the Essex County club was 
much smaller than usual, owing to 
the fact that many were kept away 
by the two weddings on that after- 
noon. Special interest centered in 
last week’s competition from the 
fact that the winners of the two best 
sross scores qualified to play off at 
match play, 36 holes, for the pos- 
session of the DeArcos cup, pre- 
sented by Duke DeArcos in Igo. 
It is to be won three times by the 
same person before becoming the 
permanent property of any member. 
H. H. Wilder and J. T. McMillan 
turned in the lowest scores, but as 
the former was not a member, it 
went to the next lowest, George F. 
Willett, who will try honors with 
Mr. McMillan for the cup. R. Bent- 
ley won the lowest net score, going 
around in 77 net, with a handicap of 
20. ~
