BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

Great was the disappointment on Saturday because the rain prevented the ball game between our boys and the Burlington nine.
 The hottest and best game ever played on Lime Rock diamond was the fierce struggle between the Hotchkiss and the home teams. Sixteen innings finished the game with score of 3 to ? in favor of Lime Rock. It was great ball and for once Hotchkiss met it's equal. The boys from the school are a nice lot of fellows and it took the Yale second team, the Alumni team and the Lime Rocks to give them their medicine. These are their only defeats this year.
 The Chicago Stars, nine mostly of the feminine persuasion" will show the Lime Rocks how to tease the ball. Good as circus.

~ HE history Of Venezuela since its
freedom from the spanish yoke
in 1921 and its severance from
the federal st..-s II Colombia Is made
up Of petty revolutions, pots, counter
plots and complex politics supposed TO
represent n repusi.ssn u form of govern
meut.
Nowhere else save in q South Ameri-
can republic could such rapid and com
plete changes occur in the government
Tor such Insignificant causes.
With the other south American
states Venezuela arose against the
Spanish rule on July "A, 1sii. Gen. 81
mon Bolivar commanded the armies.
The eight against spain was conduct
ed 10y Gen. Bolivar for ten years, with q
few Intervals. when the countries in
the movement for liberty gave up. In
1872 Venezuela, with the other coun-
tries, returned 10 the yoke on account
of an earthquake which destroyed
many lives and was said TO be mani.
festatIon OF Providence against their
efforts for freedom.
At the battle Of Carabnbo, in 1921,
the army of spain was utterly routed
by the allies. Bolivar was appointed
dictator. Of the republic and after
wards president.
Spain did not, however, formally rec.

pendent until March 30, fsl5.

Of yencznela's independence. He wa,
succeeded TO the presidency by Doctor
Jose Vargas in 1885, IL having been de
cided that the president should hole
Office for two years and not be eligibl,
TO succeed himself.
President Vargas became embroilcC

was deported in consequence to the
island of st. Thomas. Former Presl-
dent peaz, who had retired, at once
raised 1000 soldiers and marched on
Caracas, the capital. and captured 1t
after months operations. President
Vargas was recalled, However, the
military element did not cease causing
disturbances until 1896. On the expi-
ration OF Vargas term peaz was in
dueed to succeed him, and In turn was
succeeded by Gen. Soublett. in 1542.
Four years afterwards war broke
out between the negroes and the Gre
oles. peaz was recalled from his re-
tiremcnt and invested with the title
Of dictator, and, as the president was
not satisfactory, was offered the pres
idency. However, peaz did not want
the Office and supported Gen. Monogas,
who was elected.
Gen. Monogas, In 1sls, in conflict
over matters Of state with the depn-
ties of the states Of Venezuela, head
ed a party of soldiers, forcibly en-.
tered the hall of deputies and killed
several Of them. peax then took up
arms against Monogaa, but was de-
feated and captured in iS40. He was
kept prisoner in Caracas for nearly a
year, released and sent to New
York.
The Monogas family, consisting OF
father and two sons, managed TO al
tcrnate in the presidents Office until
1855, when revolution of more than
ordinary proportions arose, and they
were put out Of Office and left the
