Douglas Political Americana Collection, #2214 Rare & Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library, Cornell University Title: The Wheelbarrow Polka (Boston: Ditson, 1856) "Major Ben. Perley Poore of Newbury made a bet with Col. Robert I. Burbank of Boston on the presidential vote in Massachusetts. The bet doomed the loser to wheel a barrel of apples from his house to the house of the winner. The Colonel won the bet, and the Major started the next morning from Newbury (36 miles from Boston) with the apples ... and arrived at the Tremont House the third day at 2-1/2 o'clock -- where in the presence of at least 30,000 enthusiastic spectators the most interesting ceremonies took place between the parties."
