MammMotH Brock OF GRANITE 
Movep THROUGH MAN- 
CHESTER STREETS. 
Many people were attracted Tues- 
day by the unusual sight, for Man- 
chester, of a 12-horse hitch drawing a 
mammoth piece of granite from the 
local freight yard. It was taken to 
the new house being built on Smith’s 
Point for George R. White, and is to 
be used as the bottom step for the 
main entrance. 
It was a block of light gray Rock- 
land granite from Rockland, Maine, 
and was 16 feet long, by 8 feet wide, 
by 14 inches thick. It contained ap- 
proximately 150 cu. ft. and weighed 
Ii 1-2 tons. 
It will therefore be seen that the 
task of removing it from the freight 
ear to the dray, and then carrying it 
over the hills to Mr. White’s residence 
on Smith’s Point, was no easy one. 
The L. B. Soule Sons’ Co., who are 
the contractors in charge, are well 
equipped for such work, however, and 
the stone was placed in its position at 
the house without even a chip being 
broken off. 
We hoped to be able to print a pic- 
ture of this stone and the hitch draw- 
ing it, but will have to hold it over 
until our next issue. 
IMPERTIENT QUESTION 
A countryman, on his first visit to 
the city, registered at one of the ho- 
tels. He did not ask regarding the 
plan of the hotel or explain how he 
proposed to become a guest. 
“European or American?” 
the clerk. 
The man looked very much sur- 
prised. 
“Why, American of course,” he re- 
plied, emphatically. “Born and raised 
in the country about fifty miles south 
of here. I don’t look like no foreig- 
ner, do [?”
