Wellesley boaters appoint new stroke and aim to strike
The Wellesley boating girls appoint a new stroke and express confidence in a strong season ahead. A Canton statesman’s letter is noted for its uncompromising tone, while Col. Ingersoll’s sermon on arbitration receives praise as solid doctrine. Congress leans toward war and eyed cannon on wheels. The Philadelphia murder confession is mocked as a travesty of Holmes. Daughters of the Revolution respond to a question about the young women. The Duchess of Marlborough’s house reportedly features twenty stairs to the second floor and the duke enjoys the lodge.
