The high school boys opened the National game Friday afternoon with a victory over Foreman by tho score of 8 to in inning contest. The game was some what slow because of the coolness of the atmosphere and the early beginn ng of the season.

Place de. Vosges of

A.-The Place des Vosges of
Hugo and Balzac.
EAR what was the eastern
M boundary of old Paris, hard
by the spot where once the
Bastile frowned, there is a square
that retains the architectural aspect
OF long ago. and even something of
the flavor and atmosphere of the
Parls OF the ValOis. It is now known
as the Place des Vosges. Once it was
known as the Place Royale, and be-
lore that as Les Tournelles, It is as
sociated with the lives and works Of
many French men of letters. and
conspicuously with the lives and
books of Victor Hugo and Alexandra
Dumas. Just little away from the
beaten track, the American visitor
who finds the square usually does so
because he is looking for the Hugo
Museum. which is housed in the old
Hugo residence at No. 6. at the south-
east corner.
Readers of Dunfas's Twenty Years
After will recall that Athos and
Aramis, arrayed on the side of tbe
Fronde. and Porthos and D'Artagnan
linked with the fortunes of Cardinal
Mazarin, met to adjust their differ
ences and to decide upon their future
bearing toward one another, in GER
tain Paris square. That was the
Place Royale. 1t was there that thew
gathered with brooding hearts. and
there that they dismissed all thoughts
Oh hostihties, adopting for the future
their famous motto of "One for all
and all for one" and then went to
dine gloriously and to recall the old
days OF their impetuous youth.
But if that duel did not take place
the spot was the scene of a famous
duel that is immortalized in Dumas's
Trllogy of the Valois, and which
was an actual event of history. Du-
mass fiction assigned to it the day of
August 20, 1879. But according to
history it was on Sunday, April q.
1878. that the three followers of the
Due de Guise and the three n.ignons
OF Henri III. met to fight to the
death. Let the traveller of TO-DAY
take his stand before the Victor Hugo
house and he will be on almost the
exact spot of the conflict witnessed

period can be stated as the whole
nineteenth century, when Park street
was filed with the residences of
prominent citizens. For the last two
decades it has been devoted to COM
mercial buildings, though some of
the old houses were remodeied for
such use. The last private resident
Of the street disappeared in 1907.
The Park Church was built in 1909
by the open stretch which became
the Old Granary Burying Ground,
named from the old granary on
whose site the church was built.
This famous church had a narrow
escape from disappearing before the
advance Of trade in 1902, but older

theological fumes did not really be-
stow the title. but that it got its bad
name because birthstone for making
gunpowder was stored in the build
ing during the war of 1912.
The historian goes from one end of
Park street to the other and me-
morializes each house with it's sue
cessive owners. On the railing about
the City Hall grounds a tablet
records the fact that on that spot
stood the house occupied in 1774-5
by Samuel Haldinan, to whom the
Boston Latin School boys protested
against the spelling of their famous
coasting hill by the British soldiers.
The boys complaint was tactfully
worded and the slide was restored.
This 'long slide" came down Beacon
Hill as far as Washington street. In
1908 Bliss Perry wrote of Park
street: ut is short. sloping, pros
porous little highway in what Rufus
Choate called our denationalized

which is most engaging. his little
volume may be called unique among
all recent travel pictures. It's quail
ity is all its own, and it will be read
with great interest by both Euro

his high valuation of his own citizen

and at the end he says the Statue of
Liberty in New York harbor was
the "very best sight he had seen,"

Palace, Dom and Art Gallery. The
Kaiser sure had some dump to live
in. His ideas were abnormal. He
could look out of his bathroom WIN

them in his rack yard. We stood on
the spot where the Kaiser 'weepingly'
declared war. There never was such
building with such surroundings.
