...nine in the band barge and than came the nine in another large team. Several herdics, carriages and branches brought up the rear. Out over Beacon street they made their way, the band playing gaily, and the students cheering heartily. Meantime, in Cambridge, and especially near the square and along Harvard street, the crowds of men began to collect in expectation of the coming fun, many amusing themselves with firing cannon crackers and Roman candles.

...thoroughly enjoyed the lecture. In the course of the lecture, Mr. Huntington described an ascent which he made of Monte Rosa, a mountain nearly as high as Mont Blane. The mountain is a very difficult one to ascend, so difficult that it is impossible to carry a camera along, so that no views of the ascent itself could be given.

...balcony of the Union boat-house, the sea-walls, the stable roofs and the windows of the Beacon street houses, each held a considerable gathering of interested spectators. Among them were many ladies, who, with their bright dresses and parasols made a pretty sight. Many carriages were also scattered along the road from the Long-wood bridge to the finish. In addition to these facilities for seeing the race, unusual means for following the crews upon the water were arranged by the different classes. Besides the referees tug, "Wm.
