...much like a metrical exercise in other hands, by a variation that gives it something of the fluent melody of terzarima. John Sherry Mangan, an enthusiastic an energetic experimenter, indicates something of the range of his work in two sharply contrasting poems: "Disoriented", sapphics in which a strictly classic treatment of form encloses a romantic elaboration and decoration of feeling; and "the Passing of Shaughnessy" which fuses the fantasy and conceit of pre-classical phrasing in English poetry, a music that has the sureness of old rhythm and the freedom of new, and a nervous presentation of story conspicuously modern...

As yet, however, the present market has still to equal many records established in that financial classic. No bull day has yet seen 3,200,000 shares sold, as on Apr. 30,1901. No bear day-yet-has equalled the record of May 9, 1901 (the day of the Northern Pacific corner), when over 3,300,000 shares were sold on the Exchange. In 1901, something less...
