PRESTON CITY HIKE
 WAS A BIG SUCCESS
Twenty five Boys Made the Trip Un-
 der Leadership of Wirector WeiIt.


 Twenty-Five bows under the lead of Director Henry Welt of the Norwich Fairgrounds hiked out to Preston City and back on Thursday and the day in the open was full of pleasure for everyone of them. In fact, the trip brought out the fact that Norwich has some unrecognized pedestrians and DI- rector Welt admitted after the dozen or more miles, interspersed with a ball game and 8 whole string of other lively diversions that he had been pretty nearly outclassed by some of the hikers. The party. representing the boys of the Lake street, Pearl street and Thamesville grounds left at 945, getting out to Preston City pond at noon. They had access to the farm of Mrs, Emily Meyers, which borders on the pond, and 1t was found an ideal place for the games and swimming which followed their lunch. The boys found cordial reception all along their line of march and they were repeatedly asked to fill their pockets with apples, so that when the city was reached at nightfall a number of blouses were pretty we'll loaded and it is safe to say that there will be few apple pies in the city today.
 Next Tuesday Director Welt will lead out his second expedition with Poquetanuck Drawbridge as the ob- jective point and if plans work out right crab dinner. caught and cook ed by the boys. will be one of the fea- lures

CRASHED INTO POLE
 ON BROADWAY HILL
Biq Touring Gar Went Backwards at High Speed Down the Grade-To on neau Ripped Off.

A touring car owned by Peter CIccarelli and used as a livery car, was badly demolished at about 1 o'clock this morning when 1t got beyond the control of its driver. Frank Navis, and backed down Broadway hill at high speed striking telephone pole in front of the residence of l.. L. Chapman. The driver. who is employed by MT Ciccarelli, was alone in the car when the crash came and was uninjuTed. The tonneau was torn completely free from the rest of the car, the left mud guard was ripped off and the rear axle torn loose. Repairs to the car will en- tail considerable expense.
 Navis had party of five friends with him in the car and was proceed ing up Broadway hill when trouble with the motor caused the car to stop. NaViS was unable to start the car so the other occupants get out while the driver started to back down the hill for a new start. The car was nearly to the top of the hill and before it had backed far it gained considerable mo mentum and got beyond the control of the driver. NaVis apparently lost his head and neglected to use his emer- gency brake. with the result that the car struck the pole with crash, which awakened the residents of the neigh borhood. Had any of the party been occupying the rear seat when the car struck they would undoubtedly have suffered severe injury. Navis stated that his foot brake refused to work and that he did not think about the emergency in time to avert the acci- dent. The car was left against the pole to be lowed to the garage this morning.
