The owner, for many years, leased the Casino alleys, and made a success of them. Sensing that New Britain with its increase of bowlers, would pa- tronize an up-to-date recreation home, Mr. Rogers purchased from the W. L. Hatch company the present site of the handsome home, directly across from the Herald office. Wofk was started in the summer of 1919, with the razing of the un- eightly shaoks that had previously aderned the property. Owing to the trisk business conditigns, the work was carried on very slowly, and it was practically a year, from the time the work was started that the building was ready for occupancy. The attractiveness of the building and the manner in which it was con- ducted, has added to the interest in the sport. This winter, Mr. Rogers plans to bring here several noted bil- liard players to give exhibitions in the sport.
