The party shut in the house includes Miss Katherine McNair, the daughter of Theodore McNair, of the Inter-Ocean system; Mr. and Mrs. Dallas Brown; the Misses Mercer; Maxwell Reed, the well-known clubman and whip; and a Mr. Thomas Harbison, guest of the Dallas Browns and a South American.
Lieutenant Trevelyan was now serving in H. M. 81st regiment under the command of Colonel Creagh a veteran of Waterloo who was highly pleased with the flattering testimonial he had received from Major McNair, relative to the irreproachable character borne by the young favorite. A heavy cloud lowered over Government House. Its inmates were once more wrapped in gloomy thought.
McNair was of large frame and fleet of foot. He was especially clever in handling and passing the ball, which in those days was more of an art than at present. It was not unusual for the ball to be passed from player to player after a scrimmage until a touchdown or a field goal was made. "Walter Camp was one of McNair's Yale adversaries. They had many punting duels in the big games at St.
M.W. Gibbs, Land Office Man for the Government, was the only nigger here who wasn't bothered by no one by no colored person. Dr. Smith was the leading colored dentist once, and the leading dentist of the city in his day. Almost all the white people went to him. Colored people had the barber shops. McNair had a barber shop on Main between Second and Third. His boy killed him no good reason.
In the three years of his varsity experience McNair went down to defeat only once, the first game in which he appeared as a regular player.

It happened at a deuced bad time, but Sir Thomas took his defeat manfully, while those animated volcanoes, Hawley and Markham were wonderfully passive a fact we must attribute to Major McNair.
Their principal ammunition, however, was expended in besieging, battering and anathematizing the Catholic Church. Every minister had a book for her to read, at home in his library, which he would bring her, the reading of which would prove convincingly conclusive. One had Fox, one Hogan, another Kirwan and Maria Monk, and still another the multitudinous tomes of Julia McNair Wright.
