Jicycle clubs were formed, the principal one here heing that at the Y. M. C. A. Most of the men prom- inent in industrial, commercial, and political circles in New Dritain to- day belonged to this club at some time around the end of the 19th century or start of the 20th. The various ‘Y" clubs in the state formed « loose federation and made “runs” centering in first one city and then another. The club in the home city would provide dinner, and the societies from the other localiti would all make that city their Me for the day, with an entertainment and social time as further stimuli to wearying feet. The joy and sor- row of these clubs were hoth &um- med up in the words “century run;” nobody could consider Thimself a qualified cyclist until he had e a hundred miles (century) in one day, and many a mster picked up odd change carrying back the dusty ve- hicle and worn-out body of an un- successful contury rider. Special Bicycle Paths popular was the craze that special bicycle paths were built be- side many roads and across fiel These enabled the cyelists to avoid the dusty highways of the time and the spirited driving horses which trod them. The state kept these in repair. and the expense was met by licensing the bicycles which used them. The fee was only 50 cents a year and the cyclist received a li- cense, plate for his money, but many objected to the procedure and would not obtain licenses. The state had no means of stopping these individuals from cycling, but it did prevent them from using the stite-maintained paths. The ‘'scorcher” was So a major problem, comparable to the speeder | of today. Oddly enough, West Main street was the racetrack of the scorchers just as it now is of the nrotorists, and accidents were fre- quent. Many a dear old lady or un- suspecting old genfleman stepped oft the curb at High or Washing- ton street and promptly did a forced dive onto his face as a wheel struck him. It was argued in the local papers at the time that something should be done to cut down the width of the handlebars; the frame and wheels could squeeze through almost any space left by two hur- rying pedestrians, but the handle- bars were something else again. A “lantern law” was passed by the Connecticut legislature, provid- ing flnes for all cyclists who failed to display lights after dark. Some of the riders actually used lanterns, while others used those new-fangled acetylena lamps which paradoxical- ly burned when the fuel was wo instead of when dry. An amend- ment to the law was added later; this allowed motorists caught away from home after dark to ride home without their ligi cyclists found t hole, and every lantern law violator arrested managed to prove that he had been from home at rightfall. The storm of public pro test stirred by the thought of hav- fng unseen wi dash out of the dark, knock ane down, and es- cape withont penalty, eventually led to the repeal of the amend ment. vimen No Drunken Riders, About the: only eyelists and motorists which equilibrium on a bike.

Eighteen trout there were and the smallest of the fam- Iy measured nine inches while the argest just broke 14 1-2 inches. They were fat, every one of them, and they were the first sizeable trout we've geen that were taken out on a fly. A Parmachene Belle and a Brown Hackle—with a few tries with a Coachman—were re- ported as the winning combina- tion. We understand that they were taken out of a private brook and | that one needs a certificate of | membership to get in the water, but they were pretty fish just the same. ERY At leust we have one follower on the stand that the present stocking activities of the state and the nu- merous fish and game assoclations in the near vicinity are not getting the results that were expected. A Berlin resident, and an old timer, at the gamie, has expressed himself in favor of our last week’s wise words, stating that the present system of planting hatchery fingerlings in the fall is as bad as handing them to the cat. “A mink will stick around stocked brook for weeks until wipes them out” he said, hatchery trout arcn’t accustomed | to natural conditions qualified to stand the attacks of | mink and winter combined.

Of late, it {8 said by observers who take keen delight in watching | the progiess of the times polftical, that public affairs do not possess the magnetic properties they contained in the days gone by, and incident. ally or consequently, according to the viewpoint, there appears to Have been developed a gystem into which politicians have gradually but sure ¢ worked themselves, whereby the group Is near the axis about which management revolves, and the seve eral individuals constituting the or- ganization are more powerful than men in similar positions a decade ago were permitted to be. Less than twenty years ago, Jo- seph M. Halloran was unquestion- ably the eynosure of the public eye, ! locally. As a member of the com- mon council from the Fifth Ward, he attracted attention through his bility to handle matters of a puble nature, and on a great wave of pub- lic fecking expressed in ballots. he vode into the office of mayor despite the fact that the local branch of the democratic party was then, as it is now, greatly in the minority. ¥ later, he was reclected to the mavoralty and his popularity was further attested when he was clected state senator. He s the only man in the citys' history who filled these important offices at one time. While Mr. Halloran was acclaimed on all sides and making his mark with no uncertain thor- oughness, another young man was rapidly forging to the front and al- though those who were opposed to his progress fought hard to set him back, George A. Quigley—forceful, intelligent, and fn many ways bril- | liant became the mayoralty nominee on the republican ticket and de- eated Mr. Halloran when the lattes tried for a third term.

A For two years, Mr. Quigley re. mained hopefully silent, but those who knew him best were confident |tlm! he was pointing towards anoth- | er term and it was not surprising {that he should enter the ~primary | againat Mr. Curtis. He was desirous | of further hongr. to be sure, but he | was anxious to square accounts with |the man who unseated him, and in the latter purpose he was succ | tul but not until hundreds of reg- (istered republican voters had been | divorced from the party in fact it {not in name.: The contest left bitter | feeling and long before election day it was apparent that the democratic {v:mdidnto could bank on consider- abel republican support. | Throughout this entire period of | the Halloran-Quigley-Curtis regimes, dynamic _council member, clected term after term from the sixth ward, was coming to the front. | He and Mr. Quigley often locked ihm‘ni in the council chamber, and {he clashed with Mr. Curtis, too, when the latter was republican ; whip. Angelo M. Paonessa, natural- |ized citizen, doughty and colorful, long nourished a hope to be | mayor. He never hesitated to speak {out in the council, and he had the | faculty of attracting the support of | the so-called working class. The exact number, or even an ap- | propriate estimate, of the voters who | gave him an outside chance in con- | test with Mr. Quigley will probably never be known but he was elected |in one of the most astounding up- | sets recorded in New Britain's his- | tory. He had strong backing in cer- {tain quarters where the Curtis- | Quigley fight had left its scars and his own party stood by him nobly. | He served two terms and went out of office in a blaze of glory, his po- litical strength weakened but slight- {1y, and his parsonal popularity at a height that could bring only joy to | any man's heart. | Meanwhile, other New Britain !men have gone far on the political straightaway but through state of- | fices rather than local positions. Judge B. W. Alling was elected at- torney general and Senator Edward i, Hall was appointed to an im- portant office at the head of Con- | necticut’s financial system, while Ernest W. Christ and Richard Co- vert, through their service In . the | General Assembly, have also become prominent, yet the three-cheers-and- ! red-fire type of popularity tried in battle appears to have become ab- | sorbed, according to the opservers, by the group system of organization {in which many lead with a more equal division of power than was | formerly wielded by the man at the | helm. ’ SENT TO PRISON | Worcester, Mass, June 4 (P— { Judge Webster Thayer in superior | eriminal court yesterday scntenced { Albert E.

Until recently, all gasoline was refined by what is known as the “skimming” Process. Today, the | latest equipped and most up-to-date refineries use what s known as the | "CRACKED" Process. | Cracked gasoline is higher in qual- ity than skimmed gasoline because |it does not knock as much in a mo- {tor car. There is less wear on a motor if it is not subjected to car- bon or spark knocks. Today it is difficult to get 100¢; cracked gaso- line and a premium must be paid for it. Only about 25 of gasoline refined today-is cracked. A great many of the refineries blending a little cracked gasoline with their skimmed gas. Franklin NO-KNOCK Gasoline is a 100¢; eracl gas.

No motorist should be satisfled with less than the best when it costs no more than other gas. It is pos- sible for the Rackliffe Oil Co. to of- fer Franklin NO-KNOCK Gas at the market price of ordinary gas, due to the fact that their large veolume of bisiness handled only by thelr own cquipment and shipped into New Britain in tank car lots makes this increase in the number of satisfied patrons and volume of busi- ness and the confidence we have in our product has made it necessary to open up the new spacious station Main and Stanley Sts., and is forcing us to look around for e locations to ercet new sta- in this program of expansion.
