The tires were destroyed-and the entire bedy of the truck w burned almost beyond repair. It was lowed into a nearby vard. The local fire fighters also had a rd ' figlit- last évening when they summoned to a call from Moun- tain View section. A grass fire had started on the property of . P. Hart and for a time - threatened several large barns in that district. Engine Company No. 6 of New Britain was also called to the fire, and a stiff figsht was put up by both companies to prevent’ its spreading. The fire was said to have started by sparks flying | from the passing engine. The flames pt close to the big McLean barn carby and but for the quick work and action of the helpers at the Hart and M«Lean farm, would probably have caught fire. Residents of that section aided in the fight with brooms and sticks and it was more than an hour before any progress toward overcoming the flames could be seen. ON THRESHOLD.

How-| ever, during last season, the team re- ceived the aid of many of the busi-| ness men, who will * follow the ex- ample again this year undoubtedly. The majority of the games this vear will be played at Rockwell's Field, where they have been held last sea- son. Should the weather permit, the team will hold practice games short- lIv.

The trolley cars that switch main line to the side track’ ni the monument have had some near collisions Wwith automobilists due to the fact that little care is taken by the men in charge of the cars when they drive out Trom behind the_ auto- mobile tion-at that section. Autos coming fom the direction of New Britain are in danger of being struck by the trolleys unless they exercise due.
