In spite of the factory appearances of the schools and thei approximation to the Four Corners, however we did ourselves justice as beginners and were finally transferred o the Branch Brook location | we arrived just in time to enjoy the initial privileges of the new С with its splendid equipment and inciden tally to witness a few other important events. The first of these was the appearance of a “regular” automobile in Barringer's back yard. This furnished us D's great relief and a vast amount of comment.
