James Go1doa Bennett, who is new at New
port. His popularity at that plsc, is said to
ba das to his grost liberaIity. His stall con-
prlses eight palo ponies and six ieen carr iagc
horses. ~ith evsr3 variety of carriage.

aDv negligence or bad work, but that he is not
a hard tsskmaster is shoWo by the fact that

of Mr. RoDnett'a idiosyncra2ies. but no man can
deny that oO tho whole tho conoarn is very suo-
