Auto Mixup on Water Street

Three automobiles and a team of
the Standard Oil Co. were mixed
up in "a collision which occurred
Friday afternoon in front of the
postoffice building on Water street.
The Dodge Brothers touring car
owned and driven by Frank Morton
was coming out of the highway at
the rear of. the postoff1ce, and in
some manner came into collision
with the shaft of the Standard Oil
team, which was driven by Bert
Tenney. The harness of the team
was damaged to some extent, and
one of the horses sustained an injury
to the left hind leg.
A bort touring car owned and
driven by stephen Blaisdell then
came upon the scene, and this car
and Mr.. Morton's auto collided. The
only damage to the third car in the
mixup, which was owned by Charles
Greasy, was the breaking of one of
the headlights, caused by the back
ing of the Standard Oil team into
the front of this car which was
standing beside the sidewalk.
The principal damage resulting in
this "four-cornered" mixup, was to
Mr.. Morton's car, which had a brok-
en- hub cap. broken windshield,
and a bent-in radiator.

A Successful Coach.

Carl Reed, who will be remembered
as a Gardiner boy, member of our
Elks club and prominent in Y. NJ.
c. \. work and athletics, is coaching
winning baseball team, that of the
Rattin High School at Elizabeth, N.
J. The Elizabeth Index has this to
say of his work:
"Mr. Reed gives every indication
of being one of the best baseball
coaches Battin High School has had
in years and from the way the lads
flock around him and take their Or
ders it can be plainly seen that he
is we'll liked.
This is one thing that will help
the boys to many victory. There
are schools that have coaches that
are not liked at all by the players
and the result is many lost games
due to the fact that the men will not
play for the Crouch"
Gardiner people will remember
Carl when he carried the Kennebec
Journals in the days when he was a
schoolboy in that city.

Augusta Rotarians know how to
stage good time at any time and
that was the very thing that they
did Friday night at the new service
station of the Perley M. Lawrence
Co. on Lower State street, when they
gathered to enjoy a lobster dinner
with all the fixings, served in a fine
manner under the direction of w. p.
Perry of this city, caterer.
The affair started off in rather a
mysterious manner as only a chosen
few knew what the scheme was.
615 o'clock. as is the custom for all
regular meetings of the club. The
members were told to keep their
hats with them and follow their
leader, which was accordingly done.
Then, they were escorted into the
dining room of the hotel passing out
again, and on State street a special
electric car was in waiting to convey
them to the scene of activities the
new Lawrence service station.
AS the merrymakers swung from
the car the large doors of this fine
new building rolled back, and to the
music Of Douglas orchestra of five
pieces, the grand march was made
to the tables which were neatly ar
ranged in the spacious storage room.
The tables were in the form of a
square and were well laden with
fresh boiled Holsters. The orches-
ira and walters were arrayed in the
uniforms of regular garage me-
chanics which wee unique and add
ed to the novelty of the occasion
The menu consisted of boiled lob
sters. potato chips, hot rolls, ice
cream. coffee and cigars.
President Ivan Lang presided "a
master of ceremonies and in connec-

broke a bottle of champagne (?)
over the walls of the building, wish

plant and its owners. This was
heartily responded to by a generous
round of cheering.
