l, now used by the engineering department, was erected. Immediately after the establishment of the gymnasium at Harvard in 1860, gymnasiums were built at Amherst, Dartmouth, Princeton, Yale, Wesleyan, and several other colleges. In the early sixties, the present game of baseball was first played at Harvard, and the Cambridge city government granted a petition for the use of the Common near the Washington Elm as a practice ground for the college students. This was used until the spring of 1864, after which the Delta was used for baseball games. In the next decade, beginning 1870, several more college gymnasiums were built, including the Hemenway Gymnasium at Harvard University. The Harvard Athletic Association was established in 1874, and the Rugby football game, which seems to have such a hold upon the American public, was introduced at Harvard at about this time. With the completion of the Hemenway Gymnasium, and its equipment with a new system of apparatus, a new era was

, president of Harvard College, giving the dedicatory address,—an eloquent and inspiring effort. There were at once overflowing numbers. The school committee, with stringent standards of admission in mind, had asked for a building for 60 pupils. The Common Council, taking a larger look at the future, provided for 108. The public, heedless of them both, furnished at the July examination for admission 107 pupils, 41 boys and 66 girls, and in September, when the school opened, 31 more. In 1864 the high school moved into its third home at the corner of Broadway and Fayette Street,—at that time one of the best equipped and most elegant schoolhouses in the State. In 1886, the high school was divided, its classical department becoming the Cambridge Latin School, and its remaining departments the Cambridge English High School. The Latin School was transferred to the Lee Street church, which had been fitted up to receive it. The English High School retained the old building. The se

ears,—years marked by unusual vicissitudes in Masonic institutions everywhere,—and it still remains the largest of the five now in existence. Of these, Putnam Lodge, of East Cambridge, numbering now 159 members according to the report of August 31, 1895, was chartered in 1854; Mount Olivet Lodge was chartered in 1863, and reports 151 members; Mizpah was chartered in 1868, and has 180 members; Charity Lodge, dating from 1870, has 101 members. The Cambridge Royal Arch Chapter was chartered in 1864, and Cambridge Commandery of Knights Templar in 1890. Freemasonry in Cambridge owes much to Rev. Lucius R. Paige, who has had an interesting Masonic history. As the natural result of early elections and of a very long life (Dr. Paige is now in his ninety-fifth year), he is the senior Past Master of Masons in Massachusetts, the senior Past Commander of Knights Templar in the State and probably in the United States. It is eminently fitting that any memorial of Freemasonry in Cambridge shou

The Broadway Iron Foundry Co. was established in 1864 by Henry M. Bird, under the firm name of Henry M. Bird & Co., and moved to its present location, a steam pump, which operated perfectly, and succeeded in keeping the pits free from water. In 1864 Mr. Blake, associated with Mr. Hubbell and Mr. Job A. Turner, commenced the manufacture and sale lved in that year, Mr. Davis purchasing the site which is now occupied by the present firm. In 1864 Mr. Davis received his son-in-law James Mellen into partnership, under the firm name of Curtis Dathat the trade was mostly barter, exchange for groceries, New England rum, etc. Until the year 1864 or 1865, common flower-pots, the world over, were made by hand on the potter's wheel, which was p
