Trustees Defeat Waterman Case in Phillips Academy Suit

In the long running Phillips Academy case, Judge Field sustains the demurrers of the Visitors and of Joshua N. Marshall and Julius H. Seelye. The opinion notes the plaintiff could have intervened, urges awaiting the appeal’s outcome, and retains counsel fees for further consideration.

TRYING THE PHONOGRAPH AT FREELAND LOOMIS CO

A large crowd gathered at Freeland Loomis Co clothing house to witness a series of phonograph experiments by the New England Phonograph Company. The instrument reproduced notes with remarkable clarity including The Marseillaise The Star Spangled Banner and Yankee Doodle with free hand variations. Exhibitions of the graphophone for private correspondence also impressed attendees and Gov Ames's reception provided a recent example of a piece heard on the machine.
