Collier Cobb, 62 years old last Friday, had three birthday parties. At the first, Mr. and Mrs. Prouty, G.K.G. Henry, and Mrs. Denny were the guests. The second party came about when Mr. Cobb found in his recitation room at college a big box containing a Lady Baltimore cake, and asked the givers, his class in geology, down to his home to help eat it. At the third celebration Mrs. Lucy Phillips Russell and Miss Cornelia Love were guests. Mr. Cobb got gifts and letters and telegrams from all over North America, Europe and Asia. South America and Australia did not contribute, but there were plenty of messages without theirs.
