Class of 1894

The writer of these notes has before him a clipping from the newspaper which M. S. Sherman edits in Hartford, Conn., forwarded by said editor.

At the top of one column it has a picture of the Rev. Quincy Blakely. The other column is devoted to a description of a reception given Monday evening, September 27, to the Reverend and Mrs. Blakely, and attended by some two hundred people. Apparently, pretty much all the worthwhile pepole in the vicinity of Farmington were present, although the editor modestly omits his own name.

Perhaps the most interesting event was the presentation to the church of a painting of Mr. Blakely, executed by Harold Greene of Hartford. It will be remembered that Mr. and Mrs. Blakely are "retiring" after thirty-two years of service in Farmington.

The clipping ends with the statement that Mr. and Mrs. Blakely are to leave soon (about November 1, as a matter of fact) to spend the winter in California.

One day word was brought in to the Secretary that a man named "Hoskins" wanted to see him. Of course, if the secretarial mind had been working properly, he would have known at once that it was the Sage of Sugar Hill. However, he went out, expecting to find an unemployed minister. He found none other than our genial Carl. The years are sitting lightly on him, and he seemed in every way to be in fine fettle.

Secretary, 14 Beacon St., Boston
