THE ADVANCE OF CIVILISATION IN CAMBRIDGE.

Civilisation is advancing by leaps and bounds in. Cambridge. Gradually emerging from the primitive condition of a semi- Maori settlement, where the blanket and a stove-pipe hat was the fashionablo tout ensemble of the male sex, while a crinoline, pork-pie hat, and ostrich feather comprised the costume of the dusky belles, the township has been aping metropolitan fashions. The last addition to its institutions is a snug retreat inhabited by certain members of the demi-monde, where a few Don Juans and gay Lotharios of the township while away the rosy hours, basking in the sunshine of the seductive smiles of Lais, and listening to the alluring music of the Syrens. The prosperity, of. Cambridge is now assured, and there is every probability that in course of time other institutions of civilised communities will be established if the police do not step in to obstruct progress.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 94.45%.
