ABOUT THE TROLLEY.

Differing Opinions From Various
Quarters-FromS Springfield, Boston,
New London, Ansonia and New
York.
1t is rather amusing, says the Springfield
Union, to read the diatribes of New York
papers against the trolley system of electric
propulsion for street cars. We once had
some fears Of the trolley in Springfield,
but we have abandoned them, after ample
experience. The equipment of the street
lines in this city is so perfect that SO
far as we recall not single serious acct
dent has ever occurred which can be
ascribed to the trolley per Sc. Such acct
dents as have occurred would have hap
pened with cable system or a storage
battery system, or even with horse cars.
The Boston Journal takes up the statement
of the New York Journal of Commerce that
Gin Boston several hundred are killed or
seriously injured every year." and says
system on Boston electric lines are uncom-
mon. Nearly all the casualties that hap
pen on them take place when persons are
taking or leaving the cars, or in collisions
with vehicles" Sworn statistics show
that in 1891 only fourteen fatal accidents
occurred on the West End Ines, of which
four were on the electric lines and ten on
the horse lines. OF 1914 other acct
dents 80 were ON the electric and 112 on
the horse lines. The total number of &C.
cidents to passengers was one to 584, 500,
and the total number of fatalities was one
to S,519, 1856 passengers. Springfeld's street
car statistics would make better showing.
A man is in as much danger of being
struck by lightning in the middle of ten
acre lot as of being harmed by the trolley
in Springfield streets.
The Ansonia Sentinel says: The New
London Day is the latest opponent of the
trolley system of street car propulsion,
and as an argument makes the remarkable
| assertion: "It has been found dangerous
to human life in every city where it has
BEEN" That is not SO: The trolley sys.
tenn has been in use in Ansonia five years
and not only has there been no loss of life
but there has not been a serious accident
| caused by the trolley wire. The Days at
tention is respectfully but firmly called tc
| this statement.
In New York stern opposition to the 80
called deadly trolley" exists, judging
from the opposition expressed in thu
World, the Recorder, the Tribune ant
other papers, which editorially common
in remonstrance against its use in tina
city.

The Athletes of the Second Regiment
Training PrIvately-To Make Good

The proposed athletic games for the

A. A. will be successfully formed and
maintained is now beyond doubt. But
that there will be great competition in
the athletic events does not on the face of
it appear to be so sure. There is great inter-
est in the outcome of the events, but it is
very hard to find anyone who is going to
enter the races. The fact of the matter
is that those who are going to enter are
keeping very dark about 1t. Nearly every
ono who pretends to be an athlete is train
ing hard and with a will, and if the Second
does not show up we'll in the race the rea-
son will be known.
In nearly every company in the regiment
there are at least ten good athletes. Each
and every one of these is being urged by
his friends to do his best for the honor of
the company. There are also several who
need no urging, but who are going into the
race to do or die. All the events are to be
scratch races, and the hsndicaps in future
races will be given by those made at this
meeting. Those who have good estima-
ton of their own abilities will make an ef-
fort to capture the prizes, as the winning
Of the race at the first meeting
will be of more glory than the
winning of the race for several
