made. The Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company operated all its cars
or schedule time from s o'clock in the
morning until dark. The patronage was
light and not per cent of the usual

crowded all day The tranquility was, it
is believed, due to the warning given by
the police against gatherings in public
places, the knowledge that rioting would
be met with the use of riot guns in the
