Very Tipsy Woman Leads Thames Street Chaos in 1873
100 Years Ago item notes two fashionably dressed women arrive on the two o'clock train. One sober, the other intoxicated collapses in slush and snow at Thames and Bradford, tumbling repeatedly as onlookers watch a clumsy retreat down the street. The piece mixes society notes and local anecdotes. It also covers the St Mary St A Society election, an icebound schooner incident near Field's Point, a spoiled brat with a family toy list, and the plan for two new manufacturing enterprises including Bristol Merchants' and Mechanics' Manufacturing Company and a Richmond land factory project.
