Gloucester, and has been called the “Hub of Massachusetts 
Bay.” On the Fourth of July evening many subscribers 
from the shore as well as the cottagers took the opportunity 
of dining at the Casino and witnessing some very fine 
fire-works on the island, as well as the display at West 
Beach, Manchester, and the surrounding shores, which 
could be splendidly seen from such a point of vantage.

month, is just about starting from Nome, Alaska, on 
the Polar expedition started by Samuel Mixter, Harvard

island, which is well within the Arctic circle north of 
Siberia. They will collect specimens there and pos- 
sibly also on the northern Siberia coast, returning - 
by way of the Pribilof islands, where the United

\ the exploring party has ‘a permit to land.

where they will hunt polar bear and walrus 
until the return trip. They expect to reach 
Boston in October. The former Gov. and
