1900 The Lowell Sunday Telegram

The Greeks of this city have for some time have held Olympian games on Sunday in the woods in Pawtucketville near the Moody street bridge. In a quiet manner they have gathered on land owned by the Locks and Canals Corporation on Sunday and there tried for supremacy in stone throwing, running, etc. On chilly days they have fires made from wood cut on the spot and nearly a hundred trees have been burned up to keep the Greeks warm.
