What do you mean?” thundered John. “Tt is exceedingly strange that you do not grasp my meaning,” replied Richard, desperately, “now you see that nobody whom any one knows, lives on the shady side of Commonwealth Avenue, south of Dartmouth Street, and as you live there you are outside of the pale. Many residents in the south end of the city, de- serted that region as it was blasted by fashionable prejudice, and removed in a body to the Back Bay. Many of them moved to,Commonwealth Avenue, on the shady side, south of Dartmouth Street ; and the old inhabitants of the Back Bay,to protect their vested inter- ests, have drawn the line through Dartmouth Street and down Commonwealth Avenue.

NOTICE, The Stewards have arranged for free transportation of members and guests on the Bleecker Street cars (provided they know the conductor), Owing to injuries sustained by the pack in his late victorious encounter with Tug Wilson’s “ Grip,” the Stewards have been obliged to purchase a new dog. isa fine animal, but being comparatively new to the business a few more checks than is usual may be expected during the first one or two meets. The Stewards have been fortunate enough to secure a suffi- ciently large number of Maltese Zams to insure live game at every meet, The drag will therefore be dispensed with. RECENT FICTION.
