the time. South station, located III
Dewey square, is the gateway to the
south and west, and we are ADVISED
that more passengers enter and
leave from this station in the course
of a year, than through any other
similar railroad station in the
world.
The city hall new Parker house,
Kings chapel. the arena, Faneull
hall, old North church, state house,
and Christian Science church are
fine buildings. Boston has wonder
full parks, public gardens; adjacent
to the historical Boston Common,
is a beautiful park. Boston has
fine theatres and good shows.
On July 81, we took an 80 mile
boat ride from Boston to Plymouth
and return. In Boston harbor we
saw boats from many countries, and
many local boats have historical
names, such as Rose Standish"
and "Mayfower" We made our
voyage on the Betty Alden" AT
Plymouth we TAXED to all historical
points of interest; saw the famous
plymouth Rock" which is not SO
large as one might suppose.
To describe all the historical
points and relics of the Pilgrims
and Of the Mayfower, would re-
quire much time and space. We will
be brief. The "Crowe" house built
in 1864 and the "Howland" house
built in 1866, are said to be the old
est houses in Plymouth. The VIM.
Harlow house was built Of timbers
from the old fort in 1917. These
houses are in fair repair. The first
two, the Grove and the Howland
houses. were built and lived in by
members of the original MayfioW
er colony. Pilgrim hall, one of the
most important of the historical
buildings in Plymouth, now houses
all the relics and treasures connect
ed with Pilgrim history. There are
thousands of interesting things in
this collection, many articles that
came over on the Mayflower There
is "the elder Brewster chair" 1.-The
peregrine white cradle, which rock
ed the first child born to the Pill
grims in America; spinning wheels,
pictures, and hundreds of articles
originally owned by the Pilgrims
There are many interesting docu-
ments, parchments and books. We
were shown Miles Standish's sword,
iron pot and pewter platter, and
Bible once owned by John Alden.
We had wonderful day in Ply
mouth, including what is called a
"shore dinner" including chowder,
clans and several varieties of fish.
BY the way, clans here are of the
Little Neck variety, and not like
the Florida and Maryland clans
Steamed CLAIMS are served as fol-
lows: Large platter of clans in the
shells, in center of platter a bowl o.
clam broth, and on the side cup OF
melted butter. This must be where
the finger bowl" originated, as you
need them here. To eat steamed
clans, first you pick up and open
clam and with your fingers you
separate the noneatable part and
lay it aside; then holding the eat
able part between thumb and fore
finger, dip it first into the clam
broth, then into the melted butter.
and pass 10 the mouth; it sounds
bad and it looks worse, but "believe
me little neck clans am good"
and after first experience you won't
mind getting your fingers greasy.
We will now take you back to
Boston: The Paul Revere house,
North street, Boston, is in fair re-
pair, and we have seen much of the
territory covered by paul Revere's
ride" We are enclosing copy OF
Longfellow's version of that ride.
From Boston we drove 10 Cam
bridge, and here we have much
