The wheelbarrow ride referred 20 in this
column few evenings ago is now an as
sured thing. Mr.. Louis MCGOWAN OF Hart
ford avenue Ia TO be the fellow who is ia
push the barrow and Robert Armstrong
Is the rider and not one la 10 OF the
friends OF both hut what would prefer 10
be Mr. McGowen on this occasion for Mr..
McGowan says that Mr.. Armstrong must
ride without a cushion in the barrow,
and that he will start from the store OF
James T. Burns. 5ll Hartford avenue and
wheel Mr. Armstrong as far as the Olney-
Vile hotel and II there is not some one
there 10 head him OF he will wheel Mr..
ArmstrQng plumb into the Woonasqua-
tucket river. Mr.. MCGOWAN also says that
ne win not miss a cobble stone anywhere
along the line.
The only thing that is troubling Mr.
MCGOWAN is a wheelbarrow and he would
like TO have one that is now at the Char
fee street police station as II Is one that
ne found under the shed at Old Greek
Tavern some time ago. He has held IL
until a day or so ago when the police
called for II. The committee who have en-
gaged a band of music for the occasion.
viii also ask Captain Rowe TO loan them
the barrow for the occasion. ~
FOUND HIS COAT.
. few DAYS ago Motorman Stone called
ut chatfee street station and reported
that his SIS overcoat had been stolen
from his locker at the car station on
Hartford avenue. The police investigated
the matter, but could get no trace OF the
coat
This morning Motorman Crowley went
to his locker for the first time In months
and here was found Mr.. SHOWS overcoat.
t.s.f \. thny to fttfQ M
thing is certain and that is Mr.. Crowley
had no use for the garment for while 1t
might be little too large for him TO
wear as vest, II would be of no use TO
him ss an outer coat. for II would not go
half way about his body.
IT Is presumed that some one who had
a key that would fit more than one lock
went TO Mr.. Stones locker thinking that
1t was his and when he found that the
coat was not his put IL back into Mr..
Crowleys locker instead OF Mr.. Stones.
IL was simply by chance that Mr..
Crowley went to his locker this morning
and don't know now why he went, but
Mr.. stone is happy at least.
