 According to George K. Briggs,
 Boston business man and Marble
 head yachtsman who will skipper
 the president on the cruise, the Z Amberjack II has sailed in enough ocean races to prove that she is
 plenty sound to carry a president anywhere he might want to 20. President Roosevelt has been ac- quainted with New England waters flor more than fifteen years, and is an able navigator and sailor in his | own right.
 Roomier than last years yawl, | the Amberjack II, now being con | ditioned at Marblehead, will &C., commodate six with ease. Frank | lin D. Jr, Bobby Delano, a cousin, Jamse Roosevelt and John A. Roosevelt will complete the party.
 President Roosevelt is not the only president who has found in New England relief from the cares or office, says a bulletin form the New England Council. President Coolidge used to find surcease from officialdom by the waters of q Vermont trout stream, and in 1925 established his summer White House at Swampscott, Mass. Taft spent his presidential vacations at , Beverly, Mass. and Grover Cleve- land used to come to Buzzard's s |, Say on his duck-shooting expedi- . tions. Other presidents who have 6 sought relaxation in New England were Arthur, Wilson. Harding, Pierce and the two Adamses. Y
