At the time of our arrival MT Bartlett was entertain ing large party of visitors to the tower, but as soon as he was at liberty he paid the writer every attention and pointed ont and explained the different views. The tower stands on an elevation 600 feet above the sea level. The tower itself is 70 feet high and was built six years ago. It is good place Tor family and society picnics or reunions. It has large and fine pavilion which will afford shelter and accommodation to at least 500 people. A piano is free to guests, and dancing is permitted ip the pavilion. Underneath the pavilion is a bowling alley. The shaded grounds around the tower are supplied with swings, croquet, quoits etc. On the piazza is large telescope. The view is extensive and magnificent beyond i description. The eastern horizon line is eighty miles long; western, seventy miles; diameter of view, forty miles Refreshments can be obtained at the tower. No intoxicating drinks are sold, and the tower and grounds are closed on Sunday. Horses are fed at the tower shed. Excursion tickets to the tower and return are sold at stations on the P. R. < N.

next morning we took trip by trolley to Unionville and return.
 At 10 a. m. we left Pennington in the same manner that we entered 1t. viz, walking, riding and slipping. Ia some places the mud was fearful to contem- plate, and at such times we waded through it and carried the bike on one shoulder. Once beyond the limits of Pennington the road was comparatively good. We called on our cousins, Messrs William and Peter Mansfield, at their farm about one mile north of West Hartford Centre. They have splendid farm of about 60 acres in the highest state of cultivation. It is farm on which previous owner lavished for tune for buildings, and improvements to the land. The Messrs Mansfield bought the property eight years ago, and have set out many fruit trees, berries, grape vines etc. and are evident ly getting good returns on their invest ments. The dwelling house is situated on knoll and commands 8 view of the city of Hartford and wide sweep of county beside.
 After dinner we were shown around the farm, but the dark clouds rising in the west admonished that another thunder storm was brewing. Mounting the bicycle hot pace for four miles brought us to the station in Hartford just before the rain poured in torrents.
 We concluded that if we were the Jonah that had caused the storms of the past three days we had better abandon our bicycle trip, therefore We plac. d the wheel in the baggage car of the t.ain leaving Hartford at 8 p. m. and
