Ro,roN, June S, lSsG. The greatest ''invrn-
ton" that has come ont in connection with the
Grand Army Posts is the introduction of Hills
Memorial Record book, which is in fact a his
tory and monument bound in Russia leather.
The idea WAS suggested To the author by the
death of a comradc, concerning whom no facts
and figures Of war history could he secured.
and yet who was known in Il general way to
have served his country for three or four wear,
and to have been promoted for gallant conduct
This Memorial Record book, the price of which
ranges from fifty to eighty dollars, is bcauti-
fully bound and Autographed volume in which
is To be recorded the military and naval record
of each member of the Post to which the vol
ume belongs. The expense of securing these
books Is usually met by dozen or So public
spirited citizens who subscribe sufficient money
to buy volume. The Mayor of Cambridge
made a very able and eloquent address upon
the presentation of one of these books to Post
30, in which he said: Better than marble col
umn or dedicated hall is this memorial volume.
They are things of beauty; this is better. 1t is
history The title of Memorial Record
Book" is given, as in connection with the actual
war record of each member is a blank for me
mortal resolutions Your correspondent, who
interviewed the commander of one of the posts
near Boston, was informed that this is the only
successful effort which has ever been made to
put the brave deeds of the crank and tile'' on
record. Hills Record book takes in, in the
same terse and compact way, the history of
every soldier from the humblest in rank to that
of Major-General.
The Black IIuzzars are making a successful
season at the Museum, though some of the in
terpolationS in the last act flavor strongly of
"chestnut''-a fact that opera troupcs are slow
to realize. Pepita at the Hollis Street is still
drawing crowded houses.
The Harvard men are looking forward to the
Goth when their ball contest with Yale occurs.
They are, think, rather inclined to consider
that the matches with other 'varsities ''don't
