BEVERLY, Mass, September TO-
Arrival of the hunting season at the
Myopia Hunt Club is always of in
terest, for it marks the coming of gay
days in the North Shore colonies,
The meets of the Myopia hounds are
well planned and the trail is laid
through fields where a wonderful
view may be had OF the chase by
those who follow along in motor cars
and are able to be in at the "kill''
when the fox is run to cover. The
Washington oolonists on the North
Shore enjoyed the annual Myopia
Hunt Club HoTye Show, the thirty
first, which brought one of the largest
galleries in the history of these Labor
day events, more than 10000 watch
ing the hunters put through their
PAGES over the rails and walls set up
on the broad polo fields at Hamilton.
One interesting feature to many
Washington colonists was the family
class, where the hunting set sport
was shown in father. mother and
young folks, all mounted, appearing
in family groups for the blue rib
bons.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Aver and
their three children carried off the
honors. The priced Masters Chal-
lenge Cup was won by Gray Bess.
owned by the Hyopia Hunt Club, with
Maj. James w. Appleton, master of
the Myopia hounds, up. There have
been plenty of attractions on the
sport card this week, with the Junior
tennis opening at the Essex County
Club, especially popular with the
young folks in the diplomatic set.
Perhaps the largest of the indoor af-
fairs of the week was the gala per-
formance at Stillington Hall, Fresh
Water Cove, Gloucester, sponsored
by Sir Esme Howard, the British Am
bassador, and Lady Isabella Howard,
who are spending the Summer at
Beach Lawn, the embassy at Man.

the Shakespeare Memorial Theater
Foundation. There was a notable at
tendance, including many Washing
ton folk, and the program, which in
cluded the presentation of the opera
"Pagliacci" by the American Opera
Co. and the garden scene from 'Ro-
meo and Juliet" by Miss Ethel Barry
more, a Washington favorite, and
Ronald Peters, was splendidly re-
ceived. An interesting feature of the
performance was the singing of 'The
Star Spangled Banner" and GOD
Save the King" by the chorus from
the American Opera Co.; which is to
be heard in Washington during the
Winter season. There have been
very few departures in the colony as
yet, although many in the hotel
group are planning to return to the
Capital within q week or so.
Cottage Colony Remains.
The Washington cottage colony,
larger than ever this season, will be
on the North Shore until well into

here, although the return of President
Coolidge to Washington for the sea-
son usually. marks the close of the
vacation season for many Of the dip
lemats.
