Special Dispatch to The Star.
BEVERLY, Mass, August s.
Washington society summering on the
North Shore is enjoying the yacht
races off Marblehead. The sight of
nearly 200 yachts, from the ajectic
schooner type to the sporty little Is
footers. all sail set and plowing
through an emerald sea. leaving little
whitecaps in their wake, is as pic
turesque as the race is thrilling. The
Marblehead races bring craft from the
coast as far south as Long Island
Sound and as far north as Bar Har-
Dor, all taking part in the racing
schedule, which continues through
next week. The three famous clubs
Of Marblehead, the Eastern, Corin-
THAN and the Boston. are co-operat-
ing in these races, and there will be
more than 200 in the final midAugust
contests.
This picture is a new one for Presi.
dent and Mrs. Coolidge and has been
much enjoyed by them these rare Au
gust afternoons. The presidential
yacht Mayfiower is anchored in the
stream off Marblehead and commands
a wonderful vantage point from which
to view the races, especially as the
crafts stand out to sea to catch the
full benefit of the off-shore breeZes.
The President and his official family
have the courtesies of the Marblehead
clubs and often meet on the broad
verandas to watch the Kaleidoscope
picture. It is far and away different
from the sight one sees on the Poto'
mac, where motor boats take the place
Of sailing craft. With the stiff breeze
blowing, the rails Of the racing craft
are often awash, and there is always
life and color in the picture.
Plan Stay Until Fall.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge are
expected to be at Plymouth. VT, for
week or so for a visit with Col,
John c. Coolidge. the President S
father, now getting along wonderfully
well after his recent illness. The
President and Mrs. Coolidge will be
on the North Shore until after Labor
day, and, as the holiday comes late
this year, 1t is probable that Wash
ington will not see the President until
after the middle of September. On
the way back from Plymouth to the
shore the President may make run
up through the White Mountains to
Breton Woods and then back through
Crawford Notch and over through the
ends of New Hampshire and Maine
opening up a stretch of the country
he has seen but little. They will visit
their son, John Coolidge, now cor
poral, at the citizens military train
ing camp at Devens during their trip
away from White Court.

The Italian Ambassador. Don Gia-
coma de Martino, who has been spend

other matters affecting the interests of
Italy and the United States are to be

tember. Donna Antoniette de Mar
tino will remain at Beverly Farms for
the balance Of the season. with the ex-
ception Of little trips to nearby resorts
where she has been invited. Summer
days on the North Shore have been
most interesting for the Amba ssador
and his charming wife, and much in
the way of entertaining has been
done in their honor. They have al
ready made many friends in the colo
MES, and there is every likelihood that
the Farms next season again will be
the seat of the Summer Italian en-
bassy.
