Slight Accident.
A slight accident occurred on the
Beach Swamp road Saturday night in
which the automobile of J. O. Mills
the New Britain plumber figured.
The accident occurred just below the
fridge and as reported by Mr.. Mills
shows that he was hardly to blame.
He states that a bicycle without a
light of any kind came out of the
darkness in the opposite direction to
that which the auto was going and
the bicycle struck the automobile.
The man on the bacycle was not badly
hurt as the result of the crash.

Recent Meeting of the Grange Cor

urday Night-Church News.


On the eve of the greatest national
land state election that has ever been
held the leaders and nominees of the
different PARTIES in Berlin express the
utmost confidence that a victory will
be returned for their party. When
interviewed this morning Colonel
Charles M. Jarvis, republican nom
inee for representative predicted
that there would be all overwhelming
majority for the republican party.
Hughes and the entire republican
ticket would carry Berlin and there
was no doubt as to the final outcome.
Many have expressed the belief that
there would be a close contest due to
the fact that the contest for select
men was so bitter but there is very
little doubt in the minds OF the town
committee that this condition will re
peat. In 1912 there WAS the fear
that the progressives would oVerJurn
the old order of things but today the
members Of that party have returned
to the fold and are out to help the
G. o. P. ring up a big majority.
Chairman John Moore Of the demo-
cratic town committee and also the
nominee Of that party Cor representa-
tive expressed the opinion that Will
son would carry the national issue by
a large majority. The greatest Of
confidence was also expressed in re-
gard to the state ticket. In regard
to his own election ne said that there
was nothing to it and he would be
returned the winner by 4 large ma
jority. Leaders Of both parties are
going about with the greatest Of con-
fidence as to the genera outcome and
are eagerly waiting for the announce
Tnents at the poles.

STANFORD'S CREW

SYRACUSE BOAT A GOOD ONE
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, July 1.-The cub re-
porter horned into a discussion
among rowing experts the other day
with this quiz:
(which was the greatest eight
cared crew that ever figured In a re-
gatta, either at Poughkeepsie or New
London1"
Without a moments hesitation,
there came a chorus:
Leland Stanford's 1915 crew, which
finished second in the 1915 Pough-
keepsie regatta, undoubtedly was
the most wonderful natural crew in
American rowing history.
And then one of the grizzled old
fellows added:
"The fastest time made by any
crew was that accomplished in 1901
by Cornell. 1t raced the four miles
in IL minutes, 53H seconds. That
would indicate that it was a crew far
superior to the 1915 Stanford outfit
which made the distance in 10 min
utes, 81 As seconds. But had Stan
ford been benefited by the wonder
full coaching that the Cornell, SYRIA
cuse and other eastern crews get, it
would have won that 1915 regatta by

a margin so wide that II would have
made the race farce.
Stanford handicapped
Those Stanford boys Of 1915
were handicapped. First Of all their
teacher was only a boy-a youth,
bright and with a fair knowledge Of
oarmanship, but raw novice in COM
parison with Ten Eyck, Courtney,
Rice and the others. In the other
place, the westerners had to propell
"a shell that was clumsy to an ex-
treme.
"Given the benefit of expert coach
ing, boated in a real racing shell,
trained to the minute, that powerful
western outfit might have gone the
four miles in close to 10 minutes.
Certain it Is that they would have
hung UP a record that crews Of the
next twenty-five years could shoot at
and probably never hit.
1.-THE westerners all were over 8
feet in height. They averaged around
6 feet and 2 inches. They were long
of arms and with amazing power in
their shoulders; the ideal rangy type
OF oarsmen. Those who saw that
last half mile squirt Of theirs never
will forget the exhibition of strength.
With every sweep Of their blades they
fairly lifted their craft out Of the
water and hurled II forward.
Their very clumsiness, due to lack
of skilled tutoring, slowed them a
minute or more. And their lack of
knowledge as to pace really lost them
the race. When the finish line had
been crossed, with the wearied Cor
nell a winner by bare half length,
those Stanford boys seemed as strong
and as unwinded as at the start,
Their real error was made because
they had laid back just trifle too
far, and had started their thrilling
squirt about 20 seconds too late"
Syracuse Crew.
while we are on the subject OF
great crews" continued the vet,
LET US touch on the Syracuse
squad which won the Poughkeepsie
regatta this year. That squad was
one of the greatest ever boated.
Just how fast it could have gone, if
forced, always will remain a ques-
ton.
Syracuse made the four miles In
20 minutes, Is rs seconds. That is
slow time for the Hudson river
course. But the Orange crew could
have gone at least minute faster
had it been necessary. But it wasn't.
It's men had orders to get into the
lead and hold it all the way. That's
what Syracuse did.
Cornell kept close to the stern OF
the Orange shell all the way down
the river. Time and again the Red
and White crew tried to overhaul
Syracuse. But on each occasion
Syracuse simply pushed it's stroke a
bit, forced. Cornell into submission,
and then settled back into easy
sweeping.
Never once during the entire race
did the Syracuse men tow to their
limit. They did little else but jog
four miles. Had some crew really
proved dangerous, forcing Syracuse
to exert herself, the time would have
been far under 20 minutes. 1t might
even have gone below 10 minutes.

memorable races. The first meeting
of the National Association of Trot-
ting Horse Breeders was held there
in September and Geers drove Alice
West in the stake race for 4-year-
plds, winning the third heat in 2.2oN.
She also won the fifth heat and FIN
ished first In the fourth, but was set
back for breaking.
The first two heats Of this race
were trotted faster than any previ-
Gus performance by a 4-year-old, Gal
atea winning the first in 2:25H, and
Hogarth, the second in 2:26. Thirty
two years afterward Geers drove the
Harvester, then a 4-year-old, over the
same track in 2:07N in winning the
$4,000 race, and in 1914 he drove
Etowah, another 4-year-old, three
winning heats in 2:034, 2:03H.

The Daddy" of all American
reinsmen, "Pop" Geers, who has seen
thirty-nine years of service in driving
trotters and PAGERS in this country,
will again campaign on the tracks Of
the Grand Circuit this year. Geers
is the most unique figure in the light
harness-racing game and is the best
known trotting and pacing man in the
country. He has never driven a race
horse mile in 200 seconds fiat, but
this year hopes to accomplish that
feat with Napoleon Direct.
Recently compiled statistics show
that Ed Geers has won more than
81, 100000 in purses and stakes since
he drove his first race in the grand
circuit. No other driver of trotting

horses has equalled this record, says
Expert G. Chaplin.
Now that syndicate stables are the
thing, it is not unlikely that some
day someone will win more money
than Geers has won, but each sue
ceeding season makes It seem more
certain that when his long career Is
ended the verdict OF horsemen will
be that, take him for al in all, we
shall not look upon his like again.
1t was in 1877 that Geers first
came up north" from his home at
Columbia, Tenn, with the black mare
Alice West, by Aimont. She was the
first trotter Geers over drove In ESQ
or better. This he did at Hartford
on the old track at Charter Oak park,
where he has since driven so many
