...connected with the Young Women's Christian Association, before a large and appreciative audience. It was unusually early in the year for the club to make an appearance in public, but the results justified the confidence of its members; for the concert, though not quite up to two or three of those last year, was yet quite equal in excellence to the average. At quarter of seven the club started in hacks for West Newton, and had a delightfully cool and moist ride of about an hour...
...programme was mostly made up of the old and almost wrinkled favorites which have done duty so often in Cambridge, "Ave Maria," "Comrades in Arms," etc., and two or three new songs were sung which are to be brought out at the next concert at Lyceum Hall. Mr. Szemelenyi's tenor solo "Spirito Gentil" was encored, and the performers are confident that the piano duet would have been also, if the piano had had a little more "grand" about it.

Saratoga has been mentioned, and it has no doubt great advantages, especially in hotel accommodations; but the course is three miles away from the city, and, if the race is not rowed towards the city, the finish will be six miles away, and there is nothing but a carriage-road leading to the lake. There is no steamer, but just such a little teapot as one of those at Springfield this year, which can never keep up with the crews. It has deep water and no current, which are great advantages; but, considering that...
...hotel accommodations, New London boasts of a new hotel in the city, which they say "cannot be surpassed by any in New England in point of management and by but few in capacity." Besides that, there are three more in the city and two down the harbor. Norwich, with several large hotels, is nearer in point of time to New London than Springfield was last year from the finish of the course. Besides, as the race finishes close to the city, the crowds can go away that evening to Boston, New York, etc., either by boat or by rail...
