LAll Third Rail Pleasure Lost to Dinl1y
 Service.
 Hartford, July 27.-The work of re- moving the third rail from the High land Division tracks between Hartford, New Britain and Bristol has been be- gun. The volume of traffic on the dinky trains has materially diminished, and the pleasure travel, which was a feature of the former service, has dropped to zero,
 AS the result of the discontinuanee of the third rail the Connecticut Rail- way and Lighting Company has doubled It's trolley service between Hartford and New Britain. The vol ume of trolley travel between the two cities has greatly increased.
 The third rail service between this .city and Bristol which passed into history about three weeks ago, being succeeded by the "dinky" engines, is to have worthy successor in an over head trolley service. Orders to that effect have been given and the line will be equipped with eleven thousand volt, overhead trolley system system.
 This will be good news to the people who have been putting up with the unsatisfactory "danky' engine system for the past three weeks
