ver these New Hampshire men John Stark was made colonel by a hand vote (ardent partisans, it is said, holding up both hands) in a tavern hall called afterwards New Hampshire hall. This was probably in the Admiral Vernon Tavern, a few rods over the bridge on the east as you go toward Charlestown, the site of which will later be pointed out to you. In this tavern, the Admiral Vernon, Colonel Stark for awhile had his headquarters, and later removed to the elegant and roomy mansion of Colonel Isaac Royall, who precipitately left his fine estate three days before the battle of Lexington. Charles Lee called this mansion Hobgoblin Hall and found it so luxurious that Washington ordered him to remove from it.

Mr. Smith, with its tower with windows of colored glass, and the hundred-foot barn beyond. These were destroyed in various incendiary fires, for a time so numerous in Medford. Across High street and extending to the shores of Medford pond, and off across the line into Winchester, lay the estate of Mr. Brooks, then as now a place of beauty. At that time two great black walnut trees reared their stately forms skyward, near the old brick wall built by Pomp, the slave; for others beside Colonel Royall had slaves in Medford in the old colonial days. There is now but one of these trees, and a rare specimen of its kind. It marks the location of the old mansion of colony times, when we were under the king. From a point in the road just beyond, Bunker Hill monument could once be seen. For some days during my Boston school attendance I watched the removal of a barn or shop from the vicinity of the canal landing, across the railroad to the summit of Mystic Hill (to which the flagstaff h
