A quarter of a century ago no day seemed quite complete without a runaway" prancing desperately along the downtown streets. Some times the nags made use of the sidewalks; frequently frightened womenfolk jumped from the careening vehicles, mussing up their balloon sleeves and their pie ture hats terribly.
 Drunken drivers, however, seemed to be uncommon; at least, they were not molested. The fav- orite method seemed to be to bundle them into their rigs" say 'giddap" to the faithful horses, and in an hour or two the knowing animal would have them at the gate of the domicile. Those were the days when a man could drink and ride and still be safe.

And the pesky bicycle speeders West Main street seemed to be a particularly happy hunting ground for the "scorchers, as they were called. That they frequently jeo- pardized life and limb of innocent pedestrians trying to cross the streets is self-evident from the com plaints inscribed in the files. It ap- pears that "coasting" down the hills was a particularly favorite amuse- ment, and as the new departure" style of brakes had not yet been perfected in New Britain, where they originated, the riders had to put their feet upon the top of the front fork, and could not stop very readily. But the bikes had "regu- lar brakes which worked some- times. Laws against scorching were very severe, but apparently nobody went to the penitentiary.

owned their own horse and buggy, it was necessary to patronize one of the numerous livery barns" in the city, which existed in nearly as much profusion as gasoline stations do today.
 And let no one imagine it was impossible to pet to perfection in a livery rig. Any old timer in the city can give concrete evidence. if he wishes to talk about it - but he probably won't. The rig had the ad- vantage of being able to keep go- ing while the betting proceeded. 1t being necessary only to throw the reins over the dash board and let the horse trundle along without guidance. There were no glaring headlights to be met with on the roads, either, and one highway was as good as another in the day of livery rig love-making.

Among the most pestiferous nuisances around the city 20 years ago were the young bucks who hired a livery contraption and then went joyriding over the quiet roads of the time. They would spank the poor horse into terribly fast travelling - about an average of 15 miles an hour and keep it up as long as the beast could run. They were denounced by all the humane societies and the people of humane sentiments, and as it was the GUS tom to halt only at saloons or road side inns, they had sorrowful hang overs the next day. This, at least. was good punishment for their high crimes and misdemeanors.

Just about that time the first "horseless carriages were heard from. Soon they became known as automobiles, and when the first ex- amples popped up in the city they were the exposure of all eyes. Peo- pie had little confidence in them, claiming the chance for accident was too great. Besides. bad feature was the loud whining of their machinery, which scared horses and made them run away even more frequently than they would do by nature, or on general principles. Uncle Abner wrote a letter to the paper claiming there were enough runaways as it was. without adding 10 their total by allowing such things to run at large.
 Nobody at that time ever ex- pected that the time would come when the multitude of hitching posts around the Center would no longer be necessary.
