He did not see Dr. Crowley’s automobile approaching and the front fender struck him. Although the boy was knocked to the pavement, so quickly did the doctor apply the brakes and stop car that the wheels did not touch him. OUTING AT COMPOUNCE.

Mayor George Quigley and Tax Collector Bernadotte Loomis joined the party in time for dinner at Lake Compounce after the picnic ers had inspected the proposed new municipal reservoir at Burlington. M Quigley Eloguent. Mayor Quigley spent the greater part of his time explaining the won- ders he was about to work with his magic wand. He was mute concerning another “touch” he had made in boosting New Britain’s tax rate until it was almost on a level with the fleecy clouds. “On the right,” he said, “vou saw a place where we will soon have one of the finest reservoirs in the state of Connecticut. Posterity will proudly acclaim the rezime of George A. Quigley and say he was the greatest ror New Britain ever had.

It is too bad the graveyard had to be moved before you arrived there as some of you would feel more at home if it was still in existense. “I am glad to be among you today ! and I hope you all have a good time. But don’t forget the name Quigley when you're picking out a title for this little water supply.” Refreshments were served trip. Between his attempts to sell the winter’s supply of coal to the pic- nickers, Alderman Jester insisted he had seen a shark in the Whigville reservoir. He wasn't sure about it but he thought it was a pink one with crimson fins and a striped tail. At the dinner served at Lake Com- pounce, Water Commissioner P. J.
