The less the management could provide for him a chair sufficiently large. He reâ€" mained in the gangway! more comfortably, and so long as he l’was able to mount the trap he used it as much as posssible. He enjoyed the fresh air, which he believed kept him in good health for so many years. "A great lover of birds and dumb animals, Mr. Lovatt‘s greatest hobby was his pigeons, and his birds won numerous prizes for him. When a young man a knes was thrown out of joint, and in later years that injury proved a serious handicap to him. that combined with his weight, was responsible for a bad fall he had from the loft at the rear of his house about 20 years ago, resulting in the fracture of his left leg.
