Class of 1882

Davis writes, March 15:—'"We have notbeen anywhere this winter, but we hopeto get away for a few weeks the very lastof this month or some time next. 1 havehad a very busy winter and been to myoffice nearly every business day, but ofcourse it does not take so much to keep usbusy as it used to, at least it does not me."

Partridge writes, March 14:—"DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE just at hand,and I read with sorrow your excellent article on the late Arthur Kent Dame. I remember him well, and how pleasant araffable he always was. He wrote me onlyon last July second and then stated he wasin fairly good health, although he had tobe careful. I am sending this letter on toyou at your summer home, although I takeit you are still down in 'fairyland,' I canhear the noise of those bats there now.Suppose the clubs will be wending theirway North soon. We are operating a sawmill at East Middlebury, Vt., about fivemiles from Middlebury, where I remember playing a game of ball against Middlebury College many years ago."

Yes, "Charley Pat," the bats are making a noise down here at Sarasota, and it is very pleasing to my ears. When "Double X" hits out a long one, I think of the "homers" you used to clip, especially the ones that helped to win the game against Yale—6 to 3at Springfield, Mass.—in 1881, wasn't it? Yale students offered odds of 6 to 1 on their team and—Well, taking it by and large, as we say "Down East," it was a satisfactory day.

Luques expects to return to his home at Kennebunkport, Me., the last week in April; feels fine, and has had no ill turn since his collapse at Hanover last June.
