Bake Defeats Huyck

One of the real surprises of the day.
which, incidentally, developed one OF
the most exciting races of the card,
was the defeat of Freddie Huyck, the
worlds champion amateur, by Charles
Bake, a local daredevil rider, on a
four horsepower Thor, in the single
cylinder five-mile event for amateurs.
Bake entered the race only few
moments before it was called.
Huyck naturally was looked upon as
the class of the race and was expected
to go out and set a donkey pace which
none of the others in the field could
follow. The pistol had hardly cracked.
however, when Bake opened up his
throttle and challenged Huyck for first
position. Though not so intense, the
struggle that. followed was not unlike
the De Rosier-Derkum exhibition and
the crowd was put on it's first raw edge
as a result of the mastery manner and
the terrific speed in which the race
was ridden. The time, too, was as re-
markable for the four horsepower ma
chimes, as the five-mile professional
event was for the sevens, 4:53 being
the figures chalked up to Balke's
credit. This is believed to be a worlds
record for this power of machine.
Huyck naturally took his defeat a bit
hard, but he is game little rider who
need never be beaten for more than
one day, and it is doubtful If Balke's
mark will be allowed to stand beyond
next Sunday. Certainly not If Huyck
has another ounce of power in his In

gins. Herbert w. Clark, the democrat ic candidate for the First ward, made a hard fight and boiled fine vote in what has always been a staunch re- publican stronghold and succeeded in cutting down the republican majority; He but recently moved into the waro and his fight is looked upon as all the more remarkable against such strong opponent as c. c. Case. the well known paper manufacturer.
 Aldermen at Large Few and Hol- brook boiled big votes and completely upset republican calculations.
 The fight was very close in the sec ond ward, where the undertaken laid out the painter by the scant margin of 25 votes. which shows that the painter had great strength, as he lowered the republican majority of wto years ago by 5S votes. Jay M. Shepard is new man in the political rank and his elec- tion over Asher B. Holmes, the demo- cratic candidate, was very uncertain up to almost the closing of the polls.
 In the Fourth ward the contest be- tween c. B. Pomeroy. Jr., and Nelson B. Adams was also very close and the former only won out after the hardest kind of a tussle by 21 votes.
 Seldom has a more orderly election been conducted in the city and the absence of loathsome sights was com mented upon by members of both par ties.
 The usual celebration was held all over the city last night by the small boys, who had the times of their lives, all roofing Justify for Mayor Dunn.
 The new board of aldermen will be 4 to republican.

Good Weather Brings Out the Voters
 Many Automobiles in use--The Of-
 ficials.
 According to close followers of city elections since Willimantic was incor- porated in 1908 no pleasanter weather for December voting ever happened. The same served to bring out a big vote. Bright and early, when the polls opened. at a. m. in the four wards both party leaders were on their jobs, and no time was lost in getting voters to the polls. This year automobiles outnumbered carriages as means of transportation in getting the aged, the crippled and far away voters to the polls. and it was distinctly noticeable how many more trips the gasoline and steam vehicles made over old Dobbins. Up to the noon hour the number of votes cast was way in excess of former years. The candidates on the general ticket divided their time in visiting the voting places in the city and the al- dermanc candidates worked with a vim in their respective wards. The repub- lican headquarters was at Elmer Young's electric supply store, Church street, and the democratic headquar- ters was five doors north on the same street, in Fred Greens barber shop. The first ward polling place was in efIhluS CdIQCnLGT bIfOp Ou WdlHuL street, with the following officials: Moderator, Patrick J. Danahey; official checker, A. Trudeau; challengers, John Donovan and Chauncey McFarlane; booth tenders, Patrick Doyle, Sr., and Adolph Valiant; envelopes, John Bolles and Michael Shugrue; ballots, Martin FTaherty and Leander Jacobs.
 Second wsrd: Moderator, George w. Melony; official checker, John s. Sul- livan; challengers, Eugene J. Randall and William A. Costello; booth tend- CTS, John Harran and Louis Dupont; envelope booth. Elmer Young. John Sullivan; ballots, A. H. Judge and Robert Connaughton.
 Third ward: Moderator, Luke Flynn; checker, Walter Chamberlain; chal- lengers, John F. O'Shea and Charles Burdick; booth tenders. John J. Bowler and Adelbert Aborn; envelope booth, James Sullivan and Peter Giouard; ballots, owen Lyon and Zachery Ber- trand.
 Fourth ward: Moderator, w. A. Daw- son; checker, Lyman Maine, Jr.; chal- lengers, E. P. Chesbro and Eugene Ashton; booth tenders, Lyman Maine, Sr.. and Abner Sypher; envelope booth, Albert Harris and Patrick Donohue; ballots, Joseph Wood and Delphis Riv- CTS.

Hewlett Badly Injured.

Leroy Hewlett, aged 16 years, who played left tackle on the Emerald foot ball eleven against the Upper Jackson, of better known as the Independnets, was quite badly injured in the game played Sunday afternoon at New Bridge Oval. In making flying tack le he fell under his opponent, and was temporarily knocked out, but resumed playing. On arriving at his home, on Brooks street, he was stricken with an acute pain in the region of his kid enys. Da- Parker was called and made an examination, and found the young
 man suffering from a ruptured kidney, also suffering from loss of blood. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital and other doctors called in attention to the case. It was rumored about town on Monday afternoon that the young man could not live, but one of the hospital physicians stated last night the case was quite serious, but thought the po- tient would recover.
