against John DefQrge of Pownal, who
was charged by George Potter of the
same town with selling cider illegally

make complaint against Potter with
having sold cider tohiss sons. Prompt
ly Potter made a complaint against
Deforge for Illegal selling of cider. At
the hearing Saturday morning it was
mutually agreed that the cases should
be dropped, each man paying his own
costs, and Deforge's case was contin.
ued until next Thursday to which day

Afternoon.
HONE TEAM SKUNKED

Saturdays game between the Ben
nington base ball club and the Natio-
mails of Cohoes resulted in an over
wbelming defeat for the home team,
with the score 10 to 0 in favor of
Cohoes. The game was called in the
seventh inning on account OF rain.
The same old story of crazy errors
and weak batting were the cause of
Bennington's down fall. The home
players would pop up little flies which
the boys from the spindle city would
gather in with ease, and when they did
land on one of the bases poor coach
ing was often the cause of the runner
not getting around.
The nearest Bennington came to
scoring was in the fourth inning when
Higgins smashed out double and
tried hard to reach home on Ayers
hit over third, but the ball was fielded
and returned winning out by foot.
A pleasing incident in the game was
Adams base running, by cutting first
fully fifty feet on stealing third he
stretched base hit into three bag
ger but the effort was useless as the
next man np to bat was thrown out at
first and the side retired leaving
Adams on third.

Cronin behind the bat was of high

A New American Industry.

From the New York World
IT appears from statement by General
di Cesnola that the Metropolitan Mu-
seum's prize treasure, the $4,000 Etruscan
chariot was made in America" His
eSplqnation dlsc.oses the existence of a
native Industry which will 90 far to JUS
.ufy the duties on foreign works of an
Client art while Illustrating the foresight
.of the tarin laws trainers.
There being a law IN Italy against the
deportation of art works. Inquiry has been
made by the Roman Chamber Of Deputies
las TO how the chariot found It's way to
New York. IL develops that an Italian
peasant ploughed up a number OF loose
bronze pieces adorned with carving. In
some way these fragments reached Paris
carefully boxed, and from there came to
New York FOR the monetary consideration
specified
Then began an assembling" work such
as goes on IN the shop of the antique
dealer with the disjecta membra of old
mahogany furniture. A walnut frame
was made Gust like tho one In use 1900
years ago" To that the bronze frag-
mcnts were carefully ntted and presto!
out Of them appeared an beautiful chariot,
one of the choicest relies OF antiquity.
But with this difference, that whereas
the cabinei-maker's work becomes an
Original New England heirloom" the
chariot, TO avert international complca-
ltions, remains domestic art product.
The subtlety Of the distinction is worthy
Of a mind trained IN the intricacles OF
tarin rating. II Is almost as bad as
making a frog a chicken.
