Polls Open in Bristol for Large Vote Under Ideal Weather
Bristol’s town hall opened at 10 am with about 60 present as Town Clerk Herbert F. Bennett read the call. Moderators and supervisors from Republican and Democratic parties oversaw ballot casting amid clear weather and expectations of nearly 1500 votes. The day’s counting will be slow, with Bristol and Westerly among the few towns with such large single-precinct totals.

Last evening a full house watched Murray's carpenters face Hathaway's sail makers in a local Y M C A bowling tournament. Murray's team pushed hard but dropped all three strings, the final one by one pin. A decoy duck trick aided James Davidson who kept hitting pins behind the duck as he rolled. Murray stays upbeat, claiming his team will improve and trim rivals later in the season.
