Miss Miner (our teacher) asked us if we would like to go to Hartford for our “class _trip, and we all agreed that it would be best to go there. We asked Mr. Bradford and he said ' he would take us. There were eight of | us—Anna, Dinah, Lena, Mamie, Mr. | Bradford, Miss Miner and myself. We took our lunch along. Every- body contributed something. We started out at 7 a. m. and we went through Norwich, Willimantie, Saybrook and other towns. We had a Food deal of fun on the way. We went 20 miles along the bank of the Con- necticut river. ‘Arrived in Hartford, the first thing that Mr. Bradford showed us were the huge silk factories. They were the largest in_ this part of the country. We also saw the Travelers tower, which is the tallest building in New England. t 11 a. m. we reached the capitol walked around for a little while and laoked ‘at the statues. ' We saw the flags that were in the different wars. We asked if we could go up in the dome and they said nobody was al lowed up there, but they would let Mr. Bradford's party up. /- - Mr. Bradford got a guide for us. The stairs zo round in a circle and these are.out in the open with only a nar- row railing -around them. You can look way dowato the-first floor. We climbed through a trap door, then we were on the dome. The people looked [like flies. ‘We stayed there anbout ten minutes and then we descended.
