...close of the first event, in accordance with a note printed on the programmes, a gong was sounded, and everyone sat still while the building, and the audience were photographed. Storrow, '87, had his camera in the south west end of the gallery, and Mr. Tupper, Pach's operator, had his in the north west corner. The audience hardly realized that an effort was being made to photograph them, and did not sit very still, so the worth of the result is rather doubtful. Mr. Tupper took two and Mr. Storrow one picture...
...have had with this old settler. If it had but a tongue as serviceable as its stout old legs, what a tale it could tell. To me, the first recollection that it brings is of my grandfather.

Mr. Houghton's poem, portions of which were printed in the Advertiser and Record of Saturday, was replete with local hits, and the applause with which...
...more criticism of the winter meeting on Sat. ought not to be omitted. The tug-of-war teams, at the very end of the meeting, when they had had over four hours in which to get ready, kept an audience of fourteen hundred men waiting for nearly ten minutes. As it was at that time long past the dinner or supper hour of a large majority of this audience, and many of them had come out from Boston to see the games, such a delay was inexcusable. The next meeting will be attended by ladies who, even less than...
