...golden month of October, according to the glowing account of mine host of the Samoset, Plymouth presents attractions to the sportsman and lover of natural scenery unsurpassed by those of any locality on the Atlantic coast. The climate is equable, being about twenty degrees cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than below the Cape. For a distance of some fifteen or twenty miles to the south and southwest of Plymouth the country is sparsely settled, and retains the wild beauty of its primeval state...

The Boston grounds could occasionally be had, but this resort would be unreliable and inconvenient. The President is opposed to our playing professional games, on the ground that by so doing we put ourselves on a level with men with whom we would...
...Bowdoin Orient is improving. In speaking of the last summers sensation at the White Mountains, the student waiter, it says: "He learns to hand a chair with quiet dignity, and to present a plate of soup with courtly grace; and at night, when the dishes have been washed, and the napkins all folded, he clothes himself in a broadcloth coat and joins the ladies in a social dance. His bearing throughout is one of modest independence and dignified humility. The ladies beam upon him, - it is a life of romance; the guests fee him, - it is a life of profit...
