She was adopted as “Mother of the Regiment” and Miss Farr was adopted as mascot Then the “Big” moment arrived. New Britain with little money in their Mayor Quigley lined them up and played the role of “fairy god= father,” giving all the men sufficient cash to assure them of an joyable evening. Many visited theaters, while others decided to take a chance on raising corns by walking along the cobble= stone streets for which Boston is famous. One of the callers at the hotel during the evening was Seas man Joseph Roche of Union street, New Britain, well known as a newspaperman before n decided Uncle S@m needed him. The New Britain boy% attracted unusual attention among the guests at the hotel and when they learned that each had done his bit on the field of honor no respect or courtesy was omitted. And it can be said here that the civilians in the delegation were only too willing to spread the news that the boys who helped to break the Von Hindenburg line and Von Hindenburg's heart were from New Britain. Their actions were a credit to the Hardware City. They were on good behavior and they gave the best that was in them. Sunday morning many of the soldiers attended vices, following the usual post prandial exercise of shower of greenbacks from Mayor Quigley. Sunday night dinner in the hotel rathskeller was one of the most pleasant moments of the entire trip. soldiers enjoyed c In reciprocity, the boys quietly took up a collection and bought large boxes of chocolates for Mrs. Farr and Miss Farr. An added honor was paid the ladies when they received an invitation to go down the harbor to meet the Agamemnon on board the steamer that carried the New England governors and other officials. DBut they decid- ed to remain with the home town delegation and help swellthe cheers from New Britain. Mayor Visits Reception Committee.
