Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts : Ward 23, City of Boston, 1891. Bird's-eye view. Includes ill. Indexed for points of interest.. The neighborhood of Jamaica Plain is located in the northern part of the town of West Roxbury, which was annexed by Boston in 1874. During the early 19th century, Jamaica Plain was known as a summer resort for wealthy Bostonians, because of its proximity to Jamaica Pond and the wooded hillsides. As Boston expanded from its original peninsular site to the Roxbury mainland, Jamaica Plain developed into a street car suburb and an industrial community in its own right. Viewed from the southeast looking northwestward, with Jamaica Pond and Brookline on the horizon, this image emphasizes the village's industrial base. The B.F. Sturtevant Company, a manufacturer of fans and blowers, was placed both in the drawing's center foreground and was in the bottom center marginal illustration. Three other factories, which produced rubber goods, thread, and twine, also appear in

Meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, at Lincoln, 1854. 'In countries where the competition of cattle shows does not exist, the governments are obliged to keep male animats for the use of farmers. Without such assistance, cattle bred merely for the dairy or the market from the male animals that happen to be nearest, would steadily deteriorate. Now this is the direction in which our local and Royal Agricultural meetings are so useful. They give the breeders of superior pure breeds of any kinds an opportunity of making known by the best possible kind of advertisement where the general publi
