Harry ], Armstrong Speaks of
 This City 50 Years Ago

The appearance of Five Joll,
 corks, a quintet of old time min,
 strels and vaudeville performers, al the Capitol theater is of unusual in. terest to New Britain theater.Foer, because of the fact that Tom Eng. fish, one of the Hardware city son. and the greatest minstrel man ever to have lived here, is one of the en. tertainers in the act Also of inter est is the appearance of Harry. J. Armstrong, one of the two living members of the original Jolly Corks who founded the order of Elks.
 MT. Armstrong, when interviewed in the Hotel Delaney today, stated that he had played New Britain 50 years ago, as q member of Harry Robinson's rninstrels. Robinson was the famous man with the silver horn," and many of those whose memories can hark back 50 years ago will readily remember him and his troupe.
 MT. Armstrong, in his seventies, but younger than many more who have a score less of years on their shoulders, reminisced about the old days and tells an interesting story. He said that on Feb IS, 1883. he became member of the Jolly Corks. He was IT years old at the time and when the Elks were formed he was too young to join. He waited then until Oct. Is, 187s, and went. to Chicago and joined the order. He is a charter member of Chicago lodge. and holds an hono- rary life membership card. On the list of members he Is No. 2 and is the oldest veteran Elk belonging to the lodge. He has been a member of the order for 4s years and plans to return to Chicago next year to celebrate his 5oth anniversary as a Bill"
 He said that there were originally 5s Jolly Corks. The group original ly called itself the "Corks." and 1t was left to an Englishman by the name of Mcdonald to add the jolly to the title. Mcdonald saw the initiation ceremony of the Corks and after enjoying it for some time he made the remark By jove, you certainly are bunch of Jolly Corks" and immediately the organ izatlon adopted the "Jolly Corks" for a name,
 In the Good old Days
 Always when a candidate was to be initiated nine members gathered together at the bar. The candidate was the tenth. When Jolly Cork came to the bar he always placed his cork on the bar in front of him. When others came they did the ga ame. At the initiation ten line up, each with a cork in front of him, and the leader stated that when he said GO" the corks were to be taken off and the last man would have to pay the initiation fee of 50 cents or ten glasses of beer. The candidate always vas, stuck for the fee. ''' ''''
 He said that when the order went 70 change its name to the Elks it was left to man by the name of Thomas Stratton of Buffalo, N. r, Q give 1t the name. There were our members from Buffalo and hey wanted the order called the 3uffaloes. Stratton said Let's call t the Elks. I live on Elk street in Buffalo and the Elk is gentle anil nal, fleet of foot. and has many ,ther good qualities to p9 ,ne em-
