...inquiring and rather conceited Freshman asked me the other day, "What are the best hours to take cars to and from Boston? I should like to know when I should meet the nicest fellows, as I go on the tramway - I mean, horse-car - been on the Continent so much - a good deal."

A train of platform cars, with seats arranged in the form of an amphitheatre, will also keep along by the side of the boats from start to finish. Each car will hold about eighty people, and it would certainly be a good plan if arrangements could be made by which the students should have certain...
