The poultry and game season peaks at market stalls with deer and wild ducks, especially blacks and teal, plus an albino deer from Maine this week. Prices for squabs, teal, grouse, quail, and venison are listed amid high pork costs and limited pork slaughter. Oysters are poor this season, with Long Island fleets hitting low quality, while Warren River Rhode Island and the Cape supply the best oysters.
Signora Eleonora Duse, the Italian tragedienne, arrived in Boston from New York. At South Station only a handful greeted her. She spoke through a secretary after a translator, saying she was delighted to be in Boston and recalled kind welcomes on her Atlantic crossing.

Irish delegates to the United Irish League convention sail to Boston for a gathering at Faneuil Hall next week. The voyage proved tiring, though the youngest passengers helped lighten the mood as events began.
Delegates led by John E. Redmond and John Dillon arrived in Boston aboard the Dominion liner New England. Their landing was overshadowed by news that John O'Donnell, an Irish member, had been suspended by Premier Balfour in the House of Commons on Thursday. Mr Davitt commented on the incident as an "old story."
East Mayo and Michael Davitt attend a gathering with Mrs John Redmond and Mrs Redmonds son. Davitt praises Irish spirit, declares landlordism doomed and self-government possible. Redmond arrives to join the United Irish League of America convention. He notes about 80 nationalist MPs in Commons.
In a press-through interview, John Dillon and other Irish League figures discuss aims for a future Irish national government, the league’s wide support outside Ulster, landlord divisions boosting the league, and harsh coercion against leaders. They anticipate long effort, seeking cooperation with American Irish groups. They plan to remain through December.
