LONG MEETING LAST NIGHT
Plans and Specifications for Lyons
Street Sewer Submitted and Bids
viii Be Advertised

The trustees held their regular
monthly meeting Monday evening
with all the members of the board
present, President Martin presiding
and Clerk Hogan in attendance. After
passing upon the July bills Clerk Ho-
gan, as is his custom several times
during the year, submitted his finan-
cial account for consideration. From
the figures presented it was apparent
that the expenditures of the village
for the first five months of the year
are slightly in excess Of the total for
1909. The excess is due to the in
crease in the police department, extra
lights, an advance of 800 to the viii
lage Improvement society and the
purchase of oil for use on the streets.
Just how the money was expended
can be seen from the following tabu-
lotiOn.

In the case of the Central Vermont
the same settlement applies, with the
exception that the standardization to
be applied Or January /, 1912, is to be
that of the Rutland railway, a road
in the same territory, and not that of
the Canadian Pacific, which will only
apply to the Grand Trunk system.
President Garretson of the conductors
and President Lee of the trainmen
both declare that they are satisfied
with the terms of the settlement.
Both pay a high tribute to Macken-
zie King and Sir Frederick Borden,
the two cabinet members who worked
assiduously in bringing the parties
together.
Nothing is stated in the agreement
in regard to pensions and Mr, Gar
letson is authority that the matter
was not mentioned during the negoti-
atoms The belief of the men is that
they will be restored to their pension
rights Messrs Garretson and Lee
left last night for st. Louis.

CIRCUS PROP. AWAITS SHOW
Al Ringing, Of RinsIIno Brothers,
Spending Vacation in Town

Bennington has unknoWlngly been
entertaining a great circus proprietor.
AL. Ringing of Ringing Brothers, the
great circus projectors, accompanied
by Mrs. Ringing, came to Bennington
Sunday evening by automobile and
registered at the Putnam. The party
is travelling in Jackson touring car,
having left the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Bros show with which Mr..
Ringing is travelling, at Stamford,
Conn.
The party left Stamford Friday at
the arrival Of the circus, reaching
Bennington by easy stages Sunday
evening. Mr.. Ringing came to Ben
nington to make fishing expedition
and thus far has been most success
full
Mr.. Ringing is one of the four
Ringing brothers who for the most
part control the great circus business
of America, having controlling pow
er in the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Bros. circus, in the Barnum and Bail
ey shows and in the Ringing Bros
show as we'll as an interest in various
other great amusement enterprises.
The automobile which bears Wis
consln register number because its
owner has his summer residence In
ParbIo in that state, will be run on
one of the circus cars tomorrow and
continue with the show, concluding
Mr.. Ringlings vacation in Benning-
ton.
The chauffeur with the party bears
the peculiar but not appropriate name
of o. A. Lennon. Oddly enough his
nature is not at all sour.

BIG SHOW COMING
Final Arrangements for Circus II
Morcan's Lot Completed

The circus is coming! All the final
arrangements forthe arrival of Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers great
consolidated shows which are SEIZED
uled for two performances in Benning-
ton tomorrow have been completed
The circus is coming in four sections
from Hudson, N. Y. This mammoth
show has been travelling in three sec
tons but the distance to this town
and the grades on the Chatham divis-
ion by which route the trains will
come, made necessary the division.
Owing to the distance the first train
is not scheduled to arrive until some
time between and Z o'clock but
doubtless the usual crowd will be
hearing the engine whistle blowing at
o'clock in the morning. On account
of the late hour of arrival, the street
parade arranged for at 10 o'colck will
doubtless be somewhat delayed.
The tents will be erected in Nor
gan's lot this year. One Of the lar
ger tents is to be placed over the
baseball diamond.

Seybold and Herbert Blankenhorn,
are on the staff of the New York Sun
and are doing good work, Mr.. Sey-
bold Is the son of Prof. and Mrs. Chas.
Seybold, of 394 South Main street and
will be remembered as the boy who
so heroically worked his way through
Yale college, starting in with only a
few dollars But what he Hacked in
greenbacks, he made up in grit. When
the Mansfield boy graduated In class
of over 1900, he was one of the three,
selected by the Bell Telephone COM
pany to look after its interest. Mr..
Seybold drifted from the telephone
business to newspaper work for which
he Is well fitted.
Herbert Blankenhorn was formerly
instructor In English In the Mansfield
high school. While here. Mr.. Blanken-
horn did considerable magazine writ.
ing and was quite successful In mar.
keting his productions with the big
publishers Mansfield News.
