THE EXCURSIONS. On Wednesday morning, a small party started from the Vendome under guidance of the Secretary, going first by electric car to Cambridge. The first object of interest to be seen was the original charter of Harvard College, signed and sealed by Gov. Thos. Dudley, and now hanging in the University Library. After a look at the college buildings, the "yard," etc., the party proceeded in the direction of the Charles River and to Dunster St., where a granite slab erected by the City of Cambridge and suitably inscribed, marks the site of Gov. Thomas Dudley's first house, in "Newtown." On the opposite side of the street and nearer Harvard Square, a tablet marks the place where lived Rev. Samuel Dudley, oldest son of Thomas. Returning to Boston, the party then went out to the Old Roxbury or Eustis St. Burying Ground, to see the Dudley tomb. The excursions of the day ended in a visit to the State House, where hanging in the room of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, is the original charter of Massachusetts and Great Seal of England attached, which was brought over by Winthrop and Dudley in 1630. Also, in the adjoining Archive Room were seen letters to and from Joseph Dudley, President and afterwards Governor of the Colony, and many other interesting documents.
