The Father Mathews of Chcopee were
not satisfied with the defeat at the hands
of the Hinsdale nine, which we repor ted
in our last issue, and so another game was
played last Saturday on Riverside park
They came up here with the expectation of
winning, as they had added several new
players, but the defeat was even worse
than the previous one. The game was Il n
interesting after the second inning and was
played without any snap. The Visitors
gave a reproduction of 1.-The Comedy of
Errors" while the home team "swatted"
out % clean hits. Hanifan went in to
pitch for the visitors in the eighth, but
proved no more effective than Riley.
Sweeney's errors were of the dad, bad"
kind. Trumbull made a fine catch near
the bank in left field, which called forth
deserved applause, Hanifan also made a
pretty stop in the pitchers box. O'Brien
made grandstand play when he secured
ball, which Sweeney muffed before it
reached the ground. j. Young filled his
new position as umpire very creditably
The score:

Quite serious accident occurred on

drove to the depot, and while Mr.. Davis
was in the depot transacting some business,
the horse became frightened and ran down
the road furiously. The young lady could
not control the horse and the result was
that the team went over the embankment
fully ten teet. The carriage was COM
pletely overturned and damaged to some
extent. Miss Davis jumped and thus
probably escaped more serious injury than
she would have received had she remained
in the carriage. AS it was she received a
spinal injury which may prove serious.
DR.. Gillett attended her and she was car
ried to Dover in the afternoon.

HINSDALE, N Il.
The Hinsdales of Hinsdale.

The Historical silver Cup Is in wood
bridge, N. J.---Were the HInsdaIes of
French OrIgInt
A recent brief sketch in The Sunday Re-
publican concerning the Hinsdale family
and long-mssing silver cup and tankard
mentioned in Mrs. Abigail Hinsdale's will
bore fruit speedily. The article met the
eye of a Miss Marshall of Weston, Mass,
a descendant, and she Immediately wrote
to S. b, Hinsdale of Woodbridge, N. j.,
saying '~ substance that the silver cup
with dinsdae coat of arms was
in her session that it was given to
her in 1876 with the legend that it was
originally bequeathed to Abigail Williams,
a granddaughter of Rev. John Williams of
Deerfield, "the redeemed captive" Mrs.
Hinsdale was his daughter; she was twice
married after the death of the colonel, her
last husband being Ebenezer Silliman of
Fairfield, Ct, whom she survived. Madam
Silliman's will bequeaths the silver cup to
her niece, Sarah Williams, not Abigail,
but Sarah and Abigail were sisters. Sarah
was married and became a widow early,
and may have made over the cup to her
sister. There is another curious circum-
stance. The old world coat of arms, of
which S. B. Hinsdale has a fac-simile, dis
plays three ravens upon a scroll, with
Latin motto and other embellishments,
while the coat of arms engraved upon the
cup in Miss Marshall's custody is a stag
surrounded with a wreath and surmounted
by stag's head. There can be no doubt
that the cup in Miss Marshalps possession
is genuine, and it is not at all unlikely
that Col. Hinsdale thought best to ignore
the old world heraldry and improvsed a
coat of arms BETTING a pioneer in new
country. AT all events, the silver cup,
which has been vainly searched for by diff
ferent branches of the family for years, has
been brought to light through the medium
of The Republican, and now where is "the
great silver tankard?"
In support of the theory that the Hins-
dales are of French origin, S. b. Hinsdale
has recently caused to be translated 40
pages in the Archives de la Noblsse and
finds parts of it both quaint and interest
ing as a record of the 'de Hinnisdals," or
"Hinisdales;" the name is spelled both
ways. We learn that along in A. d. 1900,
or from about A. d. 1870 to A. d. 1000,
Robert de Hinisdale was a common family
name. 1t was Robert who came to Ded-
ham between A. ID. 1880 40 and was one
of eight men who founded church there
in A. d. 1888. In the same period other
French refugees came there after having
lived in England, and what is more natural
than that the Hinsdale converts should
have followed along in the stream of ref
ugees, first to England and afterward to
America?
