The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-19
This, That And The Other THE MAN AROUND TOWN

Now that the world series has passed, the city safe for democ- racy for two years more and the African war finally started, the local residents can sit around and enjoy themselves, after several weeks of suspense. Undoubtedly many of the natives will take in a football game this afternoon, while several parties have been arranged for the races at Aga wam. This track by the way is receiving a big play from Water bury people. If you go to the track, be sure and do not make Gny bets on the daily double un- less you have plenty of time. STom" Moynihan, who is an ex- pert on horses and dogs as well Is game cocks, had a rather amusing experience during the week. A well known young man was having lunch in MT. Moyni- hans famous grill. He said he was going to the races. Tom gave him the names of two horses to bet on the daily double. To play the daily double you have to pick the winner of the first and third races. The young man arrived at the track just as the daily double window was closing. He had several bets to make. After the window was closed he discovered he had the right num- bers but the wrong horses. To make matters worse, the two horses which MT. Moynihan pick cd, won. Luckily the daily double paid only twenty dollars. Of hourse you know Tom has fine Exposition, so he said better luck next time and T guess the drinks are on me-"
 Was speaking with Jim Me-
 Carthy a few days ago. You, of
 course remember him. For
 years he was one of the best
 mixologists In Hods0n's. He was
 commenting on the passing of
 this famous restaurant. He said in all his travels he never
 Kaw a place quite like 1t. He
 commented highly on his em-
 ployers, Frank HOdsOn and the
 late "J. w." He reminiscenced
 about the men and women
 that were steady patrons of
 the grill and restaurant. He
 recalled the names of some of
 Waterbury's prominent citizens,
 especially those who would drop
 in towards the close of the
 afternoon. He said it was a
 pleasure to meet them and a
 treat to serve them. Mac" him.
 self was q pleasant asset to the
 establishment.
 Talked with some of the boys, who took a ride with Clarence Chamberlain. One of them said that while almost everybody pre- tended to be right at home in the plane, they were really concealing their emotions. You tell the world" he said, they were all glad when they got back to earth" They all agree, however. that Col. Chamberlain is not only . very skillful aviator, but that he has charming personality. Ee is modest, gracious and at- bantive. He evidently has a keen sense of humor for he appar- 0ritly derives much pleasure from he reaction of his passengers. ne was much impressed with Waterbury. Like most visitors, he eays that he would love to come back again. It certainly is a fine place, except around election bime.
 Although Waterbury can sit
 back and rest for awhile as far
 as politics is concerned, Hart
 ford, New Haven and Bridge
 port will be staging active
 campaigns for the next couple
 of weeks. Visitors from New
 Haven say that Mayor Murphy
 will be an easy winner over ex-
 Mayor Tully. Both democrats
 and republicans are claiming
 Hartford, while the progn0sti-
 cat0rs predict that Mayor Me-
 Levy will be reelected in
 Bridgeport.
 The old saying that politics make strange bed fellows" was well illustrated one day during the campaign. One could hardly believe his eyes when he spotted E. Vincent Maloney of The Waterbury Democrat, William J. pape of the Republican-Ameri- can and Charley" Allen of the Conn.
