Last Friday afternoon special train
on the narrow gauge going to Hartford
found the road blocked by large tree
blown across the track one mile this
side of Toquin. The rails were broken,
ties mashed into the ground, and
things generally demoralized; but, after
clearing away the debris, the rails were
propped so as to admit the passage of
the engine, the car being pushed
aci oss by hand. Upon arrival at Hart
ford, men were sent back to repair the
track in season for the regular train.
Had there been no special to discover
the danger, the conditions would have
been favorable for serious accident to
the night train.

great disappointment to the large au-

programs; but, even If he had been
present, the combination is not an ideal
one, too many soloists creating tire
some monotony which detracts even
from the charming renditions of the
whistler and violinist, while the recta-
tions are all of nonsensical nature.
1t is hardly to be wondered at
