LAST BALL GAME
Bennington VIII Close Season With
Cuban Giants Tomorrow

The Bennington baseball team will
close its season after the game with
the Cuban Giants at Morgan park at
4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The
team is by far the best that has ever
represented the town. Bennington
has had some fast ball mines during
the past three years but the organi-
cation of 1911 is by ali odds the best
balanced.
During the past three weeks, al
though the team has been beaten in
pretty good shape by Pittsfeld, 1t has
nevertheless showed excellent form.
There has all along been evidence Of
inside baseball and the team as a
whole has worked well.
During their stay in town the play
ers have made a large number Of
friends, who, 1t is hoped, will turn
out in good numbers and give the
boys a good send-off on their final APP
pearance.

A WONDERFUL RECORD
Only Three Arrests In Bennington
During Week Of Celebration

During the entire past week of Gel
ebration in Bennington there were
only three arrests made. and in each
instance the otfense was lntoxlca;ion.
In view of the fact that during the
week there have been many thcus-
ands OF visitors in town, this record
is nothing less than remarkable. The
saloons were open every day except
Wednesday but in no case were they
overwhelmed by thirsty crowds as
happens In some towns during a Gel
ebration period.
IL there is any other town Of 5000
people in New England, either license
or no license that can show as good
a record, We should like to hear about
it. Nor was this record due to in
action on the part of the officers for
the town was well policed and the
orders were to arrest anybody who
was drunk enough to be annoying.
In addition to the three arrests two
suspected crooks were spotted by the
local police and the Pinkerton detec-
tives and warned to leave Monday
evening They took the first car out
and did not re-appear

Next week, the event Of the season
The great Cambridge fair opens early
Monday morning and closes late Fri
day evening,
Unless all signs fail this will be the
banner year at Cambridge, both as to
the agricultural exhibit and in point
Of attendance. In addition to an I'M
usually long list of special attractions
there is the famous Curtiss aeroplane
which will make flights every day.
This will attract thousands and will
alone be well worth the price of adj
mission to the entire fair.
The early dates this year will be a
decided advantage as no schools will
be open and parents will not have to
keep their children from school or
stay at home because they are in
school, and It is perfectly fitting that
both parents and children have cou
pie of days at the fair before school
opens.
Another important point in favor OF
the early date is the effect il will
have on the racing; after two or three
weeks of racing every horse has his
place, he knows just what he can do
and what others can do; but the fun
Of horse racing is when horsemen are
finding out what they are up against
The races at Cambridge are among
the first of the season, horsemen will
not know where they are at, but all
will be fighting for first place and
with the long list of excellent horses
entered there must be good racing.
