five games played this .senson, their goal
line has been crossed i'll but one game.

Under the able coaching of Sam Walker,
OF Pennsylvania University, the team is

up a big score against the boys from
Blacksburg. The contest between the two
schools was scheduled to be played at
Norfolk on Thanksgiving. but the Poly
technic Institute afterwards refused to
play anywhere but at Roanoke. In order
to have the game the Lexington boys fin
ally agreed. although Roanoke is not in
neutral territory, it being largely sympa-
thetic with Blacksburg.

WTYs A NOTABLE VICTORY.
A New Fnven Man's Signal Success
 After Twelve Years of Legal Battling.

After Twelve Years of Legal Battling. Our former townsman, M, c. Swezey, years ago a Chapel street merchant and for many years one of the most active workers in the Church of the Redeamer, now a resident of our neighboring town, Orange, is receiving many con- gra atuIatio on the notable success of his defense in the United States court of his Acme Store Service System of Cash Cars and Basket Carriers, of which he Is the patentee and which was first introduced in New Haven. MT Swezey is president of the company which he formed to carry on the busi- ness on an extensive scale and the fac
 tory where the cash railway apparatus is manufactured Is a New Haven enter prise and located here. The main office of Mr. Swezey's company is "A Fifth avenue. New York city, near Four teenth street, and the company has New Haven office, MT. SWeezey being at the New York office from 10 a. m. to 3 D. m. and at the New Haven office from 1 to p. m. But the chief point of interest of this articles lies in the fact that MT. Swezey has been involved in litigation with another company which Is his only great rival, for the long space of twelve years, and has won the battle after many conflicts in the courts. By a decision of the United States Circuit Court, a copy of which lies before us, MT Swezey is declared victorious. This suit was a test case for o ,,,,,1+tt,,da of e,,ite br0uobt oyai,, St stores using MT. Swezey'S Acme cash railway system. MT. Swezey in each case absolved the stores from any lia- bility in the fight, his company taking up the contest for them. This last case is nominally against the Siegel, Cooper Co. of New York, ct al., and the courts decision after stating the claims made by the opposition, recites in detail what the Acme system consists of and con cludes with the statement "the bill is dismissed with costs" This Is very substantial victory after twelve years of battling in the courts. The series of contests. MT. Swezey remarked Satur- day, has been very expensive although the opposition company had the costs of court to pay, but the lawyers fees for defense of course devolved upon the defendant and have amounted to many thousands of dollars. Mir. Swezey now anticipates complete rest from legal battles and the full enjoyment by himself and his company of the net returns of profits from his enterprise which are large, as no less than 6,000 stores are using his Acme invention.

Their Weeks Cruise on the Prairie
 Ended Saturday.
 The Connecticut Naval battalion ar rived home from it's week cruise in the Prairie early Saturday morning with every man In the best of health and spirits, The big cruiser dropped anchor outside the brealswater, shortly after g o'clock and immediately the transfer of men from the Prares to the Luzerne Ludigton, which was alongside, began Two trips were necessary to land the sailors, the Hartford division being taken off first. The New Haven and Bridgeport divisions were landed to- gether on the next trip.
 All the young fellows reported good time on the trip and in this assertion they were supported by the officers. Commander Averil and his subordinate officers were all bronzed by exposure to the sun and looked to be in very good health. The work this year was some what harder than in previous years, but the discipline was excellent and everything went off smoothly.
 Fine work was done by the men in heaving the lead, the signal work was good and the shooting while at sea was uncommonly good The best shoot ing was done by Coxswan Peabody with Seaman Hodges close second. Howard of the Bridgeport division struck the target at 5000 yards while the ship was rolling heavily making fine shot. At 3,400 yards a flag was cut down while the ship was going at half speed. With sub-salber at 2,3C0 yards a staff was also cut which shows the good work done by the men
 Some of the men were a little under the weather but it did not amount to much. The officers were partially ex- amined in navigation by Mir Hunt of the Prairie.
