 The Fourth passed pretty quietly in the town this year. The three-years' celebration in one seemed such a big proposition that it was let fall almost flat. The night before the Fourth was quiet compared with before-the war years. There was little noise during the day, so that on the whole the 4th just passed was almost as safe as last years. Other surrounding towns had big time, however, and many To- cal people went to Hartford, Rock vile and Monson to see the celebra- tions there.
 Fourth in Bristol and returned home after being presented with two cups for his efforts while in that place William went there to take part in the track meet which was being held and in which some of the best athletes in New England performed. He entered the 160-yard dash and the running broad jump, both of which had large fields. He took first prize ill each event, running the 100 yards in ten seconds and surpassing the field ill the running broad with jump of z1 feet and inches. Comins did some what similar thing in Storrs last May where he entered three events and took three first prizes.
