City and Vicinity Notes on New Year’s Scene and Local Events
The city dispatches a broad collage of items: a critique of fast horses fading in prominence, New York bloods hiring a stone truck for Fifth Avenue calls, new music publications from Lee & Walker in Philadelphia, and Scott’s purchase of the Postoffice store with plans to move.

The Madison Square Company staged Young Mrs Winthrop to a receptive crowd, while Salvation Army antics mocked reporters.
