Deploring the misstatements relative to the railroad problem he stated that it was his contention that the South Stutlon should have been purchased by the Common- wealth. A lease could be given to the railroad^ and should they de- cide to withdraw at any time the property might well be used for state and municipal purposes.

A most Interesting story on Ship Sailing Cards wus published by the Slate Street Trust Company of Boston In 1948 as one of Its series of brochures Issued from time to time on New England historical subjects. It was so sought after that the publishers decided to bring out another volume in 1949, In which It has included not only par- ticularly attractive cards, but also those advertising clippers having unusual and curious names. There are the Bengal, the Black Hawk, the Cremorne, the Don Quixote, Empress of the Sea, Garibaldi , the Spitfire , John Gilpin , and others. Many ot the vessels, whose color- ful sailing cards are pictured in the brochure, have interesting his- tories, and these stories are told, as each sailing card Is shown and described. Most of them were advertising sailings to San Francisco, and since the famous gold rush was la 1849, the date of the present publication falls in the century 'anniversary year of so many sailings to the "Gold Coast." Many of these ves- sels were built in New England ship yards, and were commanded by skippers of like origin. A few references to Cape Cod caught our eye. In telling the story of the "Black Hawk," the author records it as sold to a foreign firm. Then—"While under the American flag, her commanders were Captains B. P. Bowers, Seth Doane , Hallett, Howland, and Milton B. Crowell , the last four being familiar old Cape Cod names." Captain Samuel H. Thacher of Yarmouth on Cape Cod was men- tioned as commander of the Gari- baldi, the Valley Forge, the Car- rolton, and several in the coastwise trade. "Mention ot Cape Cod skip- pers," the article says, "brings to mind this., verse, from 'American Sea Songs and Chanteys', edited by Shay and Wilson and published by W. W. Norton & Co., Inc.: "Cape Cod cats they have no tails, Heave away! Heave away ! They lost them all in sou'east gales, We're bound for Callforniay!" The Howes family of Dennis is treated in a chapter in connection with the tale of the Osborn Howes. The "Gamecock" is another Yan- kee ship showing its sailing card. This ship was built' for Captain Daniel C. Bacon of Barnstable. Ref- erence Is made to the old Bacon Homestead in Barnstable, built In 1642 by Nathaniel Bacon, earliest ancestor In this country of Cnpt. Daniel Bacon; and another Bacon House, built in 1832 by Capt. Bacon to replace the earlier one. The'arti- cle speaks of this house as having been occupied until recent years by the family, until it was sold and became an inn. Then, there is reference to the "Sandwich & Cape Cod Mining and Trading Company." The sailing card developed, it seems, as a result of the competi- tion among merchants. It was an illustrated poster praising the mer- its of a particular ship, giving its sailing date and port of destination. For the fortunate possessor, of a copy, "Other Yankee Ship Sailing Cards" is a valuable addition to his library. In Review
