...first stage of the tour was from Boston to New York. A special car was provided for the clubs. As all singing was prohibited in order that voices might be kept as fresh as possible for the strain about to be put upon them, the men turned to whist to pass the time. A basket luncheon was served at Springfield. One man who was in the smoking carat the time did not receive his basket and was compelled to go hungry until evening...
