place with A. H. Chandler for escort,
were entertained by Miss Mary Warren
at her home in Ludlow, last Friday
evening. The party left here on the
evening train with the best intentions
of returning on the sleeper. A very
pleasant evening was spent in company
with the class of '94 B. r. A., but either
on account of the "genteel menu"
served during the evening or on account
of the changed time of the train, the
sleeper was heard drawing into the de-
pot before much thought had been |
given as to the time. Had it not been
for the "rapid-transit seven-league"
boots of one of the young men our party
would have been minus quantity in
