1889

Six of our class, Bartlett, Blakely, Frost, Moulton, Noyes, Wellman, joined members of contemporary classes at the annual after-the-game dinner at the Boston City Club, October 22. Some had watched the game in the Stadium, some had not, all seemed satisfied with the result Arthur Chase wrote on October 17, at Albuquerque, N. M., where he was visiting his son. The hurricane damaged but did not destroy his summer cottage at Blanford, Conn. This was evidently the immediate occasion of the trip west, for a complete change. He is to be in New Haven again this winter Flagg has been in Hanover again and wrote that he found our class tree standing, "almost alone, in the midst of an astounding devastation." .... Redfield wrote that he planned to go to his camp "to try to clear away some of the debris caused by the hurricane," and so could not join us on October 22 Sully and several members of his family, after about three months in Europe, returned to New York early in September Warden was reelected for a fourth year of service as president of the National Reclamation Association at its annual convention at Reno, Nevada, October 18. The President's address reviewed forcefully the accomplishments of the seventh year of the Association's existence and discussed clearly the problems to be met by the Western states, and by all the states, if waste is to be checked and our national resources used to the best advantage of the entire nation Blair delighted the Sec- retary November 7, by appearing in per- son. He had come from Washington to perform his biennial duty of voting for the right candidates in the New Hampshire elections. He also had business appoint- ments in several New England cities Ferguson took a (for him) long vacation of three days with friends in Montreal, the first week of November, and while there celebrated his seventieth birthday. He reports himself as "sound in body and mind."

From a friend we learn that one of his reasons for satisfaction in entering the eighth decade is that hereafter he will not be called upon for federal jury duty, as he has been frequently in the past.
