…tonite we brought in the blue houndstooth tie from home…At first, we weren’t entirely certain how it would work, but the blue – darkish-but-not-too-dark royal blue – looks really sharp with the shirt and vest, and the experiment must be deemed a complete success.

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1807 – The world’s first passenger rail service begins, with the Swansea and Mumbles Railway providing service from Swansea and Oystermouth in southern Wales, Great Britain. Rail service in those days was horse-powered, and the train converted to steam power in 1877 and eclectic power in 1928 before closing in 1960 in favour of bus service.
In 1934 – Horton Smith of the US wins the first Masters golf tournament with a final round 72 to beat fellow American Craig Wood by one stroke at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the first of two Masters wins for Smith and remain his only major victories. The tournament was founded by Bobby Jones, who built Augusta National so he and his friends would have a place to play golf in peace and quiet. The tournament was known as the Augusta National Invitational Tournament for the first five years, though informally known as the Masters from the start.
In 1989 – Debbie Gibson is at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart for the third of five consecutive weeks with Electric Youth. It was the second chart album for Gibson, her second and final Top 10 and remains her only #1. The album produced three Top 40 hits, including the #1 Lost in Your Eyes, and was Billboard’s 16th-biggest album of the year. Gibson, then 18, wrote all the songs on the album and co-produced it.
