...every country save. England and New Zealand the traffic goes on the wrong side of the road." This statement is a slight exaggeration, because Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island still "keep to the left", although New Brunswick and British Columbia have recently passed laws requiring that all vehicles adopt the right turn. But the English still prefer the old method of traffic regulation, even though they have to learn to drive all over again whenever they "visit the continent" or come to America...
These are great days in Gloucester. Cod is king again, and supreme as he has not been since before the days of the canning factories. All the old salts have turned out to spin yarns with their visitors from Nova Scotia, and no one who ever displayed special prowess with cod has been permitted to hide his light under a bushel. Not only the technique of sailing and the merits of different types of schooners but all the details of the fisherman's trade have been recited to willing and unwilling audiences, and boasts of great achievements have been brazenly...
...Gentleman of Seville", after languishing for a century and a quarter in a remote Irish castle, has been found, neglected, unwashed, and uncared for and now brushed up and tidy again is about to resume his rightful place in the galleries.

...scientific investigation of the realms lying "beyond the veil" has been popular ever since De Foe invented Mrs. Beal, but the possibilities are apparently endless. The latest wrinkle comes with the announcement that Dr. Prince, director of the American Institute for Scientific Research, has gone into the wilds of Nova Scotia to track down a ghost which, evidently considering itself an outlaw, refuses to behave according to our preconceived notions of such things. And with him the good doctor has taken an "elaborate equipment of bells, cameras, flashlights, wires and white tracking powder". Shades of Friar Bacon and the Brazen...
...Crimson team met a Nova Scotian combination last year when it so emphatically defeated King's College 9 to 1. Tonight's opponent, however, will be far more dangerous than last season's team from the same section of Canada. As in the Toronto game of January 4 in seems probable that Coach Claflin's men will be outclassed in skating and stick handling. The Toronto players were so much superior in these two departments that the fine teamwork of the Crimson sextet was of little avail. Tonight the playing of the University is sure to show a great improvement...
