LONELINESS.
Denver Republica ,

(Denver Republican, It IS dreary at the north pole
 When the winds of winter howl And the icebergs are a, crunching
 And the polar bearlets growl; And the Eskimo then murmurs
 "None can half so lonely be- Yet the baseball fan in winter
 Is far lonesomer than he. It is fearsome in the jungle
 In the silent tropic night When no living thing is stirring
 In the pale and ghastly light: And the savage breaks the silence With sigh: "Ah, woe is mel" Yet the baseball fan in winter
 Is far lonesomer than be- On the farm and in the village
 Time hangs leaden on all hands. Folks are signing, folks are crying Cause they're lonely in all lands But the baseball fan in winter,
 When no athlete swats the ball. Is the one who gets our pity
 He's the lonesomest of all.

 The company was represented by it's attorney Arthur M. Marsh and it's engineer, MT. Sperry of New Haven.
 The committee representing Bridge port asked the railroad commissioners to delay action on the petition until such time as the Legislature could take action upon the petition of the Connecticut company to extend it's tracks northerly to the Trumbull line.
 The city favors the Connecticut company because it means but one fare within the city limits, while if a competing company enters two fares likely.
