Schools Closed The public schools of the city are whose epecial’ train passed through ,closed today to permit teachers to this city en route to New York, Although the train was not due to arrive in this city until 6:35 p. m., the crowd started to gather as early as 5:30 p. m,, the early-comers grab- bing and holding the points of van- tage in spite of the jostling apparent as the numbers increased. At 6:30 o'clock it was impossible to crowd another human onto the station platform and the eastbound track was lined from a point west of the Main atreet bridge to the east end of the passenger yard. At 6:45, the train could be seen rounding the curve east of Henry street and this was the signal for bursts of cheer- ing, which lasted until the trajn, proceeding at a snail's pace, pulled hy the station and gradually disap- peared into the west. As the rear coach neared the west end of the platform, Mrs. Smith stepped onto the platform and waved a greeting to the assembled throng. Follow- ing closely behind her was the gov- ernor, who raised his hat and greet- ed the gathering with “Hello there, people.” Just before the governor's appearance, Joscph F. Dutton, chafrman of the local democratic town committee, who had accom. candidate’s party from iartford, alighted from one of the forward coaches while the train was moving. 3 Crowd Held Back As the train neared the station, a detall of police under Captain Thom- as F. Guckin and Detective Sergeant Danlel McGillicuddy pushed the crowd back from the tracks. The mass again surged forward, how- ever, as the rear of the train drew up.and a cheering mob followed in its wake until it gathered speed and disappeared in the distance, Red fire, furnished by the demo- cratic town eommittee, lighted the scene. One little girl narrowly es- caped injury when her coat caught fire from a torch, but the flames were quickly smothered by persons nearby. Several others had their clothing scortched but there was no one injured, Stop Not Scheduled Through a misunderstanding, many present believed that the train was to make a stop in this city and were disappointed when it failed to do so. The original sched- ule, as prepared by democratic state leaders and endorsed by members of the governor's party, was such that any additional stops along the line would striously disrupt the move- ment of the train into New Ydrk.

Treadway, assistant treasurer of the Horton Manufactur- ing company, is the newly crowned city amateur golf champion as a re- sult of his victory at the Chippanee Country club course yesterday over Deputy Sheriff Joseph W, Harding He will receive the silver loving cup donated by Charles T.
