Springfield Y M C A Building Recalled as Model Structure
The Springfield Mass Y M C A Building opened early in 1895 served as the convention headquarters for the biennial international gathering. Constructed of brown stone, it houses stores on the ground floor gymnasium on the rear second floor offices and rooms on the higher floors. The cream and white decorated hall lit by hundreds of lamps appears fairy like. The gym includes a running track and basketball facilities. Costing 110000 with half funded by eleven donors giving 5000 each the building is on State near Main in Springfield’s business district and remains a prominent city attraction.

Purple ink banished from polite correspondence
A Strand Magazine note condemns purple ink in letters as distracting and harmful to reading. A Philadelphia Call quip about a Quaker and his two horses illustrates wit about misunderstood choices in writing and speech.
