cipal place of gathering was at Bristol Basin,' near the present center This was the only general depot in the district, and the canal boats and stage coaches (the latter came twice a day) brought mail, merchandise. and passengers for Bristol New Britain, and other sur rounding localities
 Al Bristol Basin the people gath cred every Sunday morning 10 take the boat for Pennington. Plainvile then had no meeting house and the inhabitants attended church in the mother town. Old and young swarmed aboard for the four mile ride through what was then a wild erness of plains and woods. The country was filled with rabbits, partridge, and quail, and these leaped out at frequent intervals as the boat slowly glided by on its de- lightful trip.
 Never Paid it's Way
 The canal despite all efforts, was never q financial success. Great damage was done during every win ter, and at times the water brole through the banks and flooded the countryside. These floods were as spectacular IS fires. and the eager crowds followed the mud boat" as they did the fire engine as 1t hastened 10 the break and filled 1t with mud and straw. In 1S36 the canal was bought for only s3o0,o ,o0o by a new company, the New Haven & Northampton Canal Go. There was another rescue in lS41, but de- terioration was too fast and rates too low; the canal was abandoned in 1S47.
 Luckily, Its place was taken al most immediately by the railroad, for on January S, 1S4S the first train on the New Haven & North ampton railroad reached Plainville. The landowners along the route had contributed the right of way and received In return free passes to New Haven. The Hartford, Providence, & Fishkil railroad N"''S tiiiotSl III ] co.. IiltI, lDNdTu the end of the century, came the third-rail cars (now the Hartford Bristol 'dinky' line) and the trolley cars of the Connecticut Co. and Bristol & Plainville Tramway Co., while two years ago further ad- vance in transportation came with the opening of the motor coach line by the New England Transportation Co. An incipient landing field al ready exists in Plainvile, and the day may not be far off when the old barge and horses will have been superseded by the airplanc.
 But of the original canal rrac,i cally nothing remains. The banks long ago fell in and wiped out the basin, the towpaths are covered with trees and underbrush and it has been practically forgotten by even the oldest inhabitants. "The aqueduct' is still haven for Boy Scout troops and youthful swim mers in summer, and few ditchcs Stlll exist and are used as unofficial sewerage beds. But almost the only remnant today is in the name Canal Street." given the thorough fare along which tho once mighty creation of Connecticut's transpor- talon passes.

BENNINGTON CANAL
 IS ONLY 4 MEMORY
Once Proud Artery Of Commerce
 Falls Victim to Time

Only few brush covered ridge; Of earth remain today of what was one Of the proudest achievements Of Connecticut promoters in the carly 18th ccntury-the Farming ton canal This canal, which at one time made Plainyille the lead ing point of transfer for this sec tion of the state, passed long since into dsuse and has gradually been plotted from memory and from the very earth itself. But during its short period of existence it provid- ed one of the most picturesque features of those decidedly pictur- esque days of beaver hats and hoop skirts.
 The canal was originally con- ceived as a boom project for New Haven. to give it inland connections rivalling those of Hartford. The Hampshire & Hampden Canal Co. was incorporated in 1923 and work begun immediately. The route led from Northampton. Mass, 10 East hampton, Southampton, Wcstfield, Southwick into Connecticut at Granby, and on through Simsbury, Pennington, and Southington to New Haven, It was completed at a cost of S2.000.000, a huge sum for those days, all raised by private subscription. and was formally opened in 1884.
 First Boat from New Haven
 The first boat left New Haven and proceeded northward with 200 pas sengers. including the governors of Massachusetts and Connecticut aboard. IL was drawn by four horses which ploddcd along the : towpath and which were replaced by fresh animals every ten miles Crowds gathered along the banks at eevry settlement and answered the boats horn with a cannon salute. It seemed that a new and prosper ous day had come to Connccticut.'
 The boats themselves were sump- tuous vessels, almost as elaborate as the famous Mississippi steamers Of slightly later period. Frequent ly there would be band on ship to VII H"pS lllt IoIlS uouIS OCtupltu in moving ponderously along tho course or in the half-hour waits at the locks. It was at these that the toll was collected. Other delays were occasioned by the numerous draw and arch bridges along the course. while at Lake Coneamond there was a floating bridge" an- o1, Il draught animals crossed from one shore to the other. These draw bridges were great sport for the youth of the day, and no youngs,er had won his spur until he had chung to one while it was revolvod.
