The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1913-06-09

Bennington lost to North Adams
at Fowler park yesterday before the
largest crowd of the season. Ben
ME Harrington. the former Huckle-
berry boy, was on the mound for
the Tunnel City outfit and he stood
his former team mates on their
heads. But for Bennie's own wild
throw to first in the second and Ru-
dolph's error in the final period the
game would have been a shut-out for
North Adams.
DeCora, a big fellow from Ball
ston, Spa. n. Y, who came to Ben
nington with a large reputation as a
pitcher. was used in the box by Ben
nington and was hit hard. He also
made two errors that we're respon-
sible for runs.
Harrington apparently used his
knowledge of the batting habits of
his former team mates to good pur-
pose. He put them over" for Prin-
die and struck out both Carolan and
Peloquin. He had speed. good con-
troll and change Of pace that was
puzzling. The score.

The bell echoed the hopes Of the peoples hearts
and its melodious Bon Voyage sounded over the
Delaware as he sailed away.
When the planning and splitting mills were
closed and the manufacture Of iron and steel pred
ucts was prohibited by acts Of parliament in
Pennsylvania and the kings arrow was affixed
upon pine trees and the trade Of the colonies in
all parts Of the world restrained, the bell was
again tolled to assemble the people in the state
house yard to protest against such %outrages.
Thus did the bell, long before the Revolution.
become the beloved symbol of truth and freedom,
reinforcing with pugnacious and violent peals, the
cry of determined citizens, in the largest political
meeting held up to that time in the state house
yard, that none Of the ship "Polly's detestable
tea" that had just been brought into the port,
should be funneled down their threats with mar.
lament duty mixed with it
When the port Of Boston was closed In May,
1174, and the heart Of the country was growing
heavier with its affection, the bell was once more
carefully muifled and tolled in a solemn and pro-
phetic manner, both to announce the closing OF
the port ard, a little later, to call a meeting to
relieve suffering in Boston on account OF the
restriction of It's trade.
AS the cor fiict with England approached the
bell was rung more and more; It's use became a
matter OF course, and then, on April 20, ITS,
just after the reports came to Philadelphia of the
Battle OF Lexington, it rang wildly to assemble
5000 people in the state house yard and to in
spire their souls to a resolution pledging their
all to the cause OF liberty.
1t rang also to assemble the Continental con-
gress to its daily sessions, both at Carpenters
hall and Independence hall, and, finally, its crown
ing achievement. the one wild, defiant and joyful
ringing that, more than all the previous reverbera-
tons it made, gave it the sacred name of THE

tones Of John Nixon the first public proclamation
Of the Declaration. and never did the old wooden
rafters Of the state house steeple rock and trem-
BILE with more sympathetic vibration than at this
time.
When returned to the old state house steeple
again one OF Its first uses was to ring upon the
announcement Of the surrender Of Lord Cornwall
lis, in October, 1881, and in the following month
to toll in welcoming Washington to the city. A
year and . half later It helped to proclaim the
treaty Of peace with Great Britain. and in Deem
Der. 1899, it was mufled for the first time in many
years, though not to mourn for lost liberty or
over tyrannical deeds, but to lend It's almost
hushed music to the funeral solemnities Of Wash

Despite the fact that the Liberty Bell is one
Of the most treasured Of national relics, it is not
originally an American product, but a foreign inn
portation; and imported from England, too, where
it was first cast according to the order given in
October, 1751, by the superintendent Of the state
house Of the Province Of Pennsylvania-noW Inde-
%pendence Hall.
Thomas Lester Of White Chapel, London, cast
the bell, and by August, 1852. it arrived in Phila-
delphia and was erected on trusses in the state
house yard. While being tolled and tested early
in September of the same year it was cracked by
the ~clapper, though by no unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident, Isaac Morris
wrote, March 10, 1853:
Though the news Of our new bell cracking is
not very agreeable to us, We concluded to send it
back BY Captain Budden, who had brought it from
London last August, but he could not take it on
board, upon which two ingenious workmen under
took to cast 1t here, and | am just now informed
they have this day opened the mould and have
got a good bell, which, l confess, pleases me very
much, that we should first venture upon and sue
coed in the greatest bell cast, for aught know,
In English America. The mould was finished in
a very mastery manner, and the letters, l am
told, are better than TOM the old one. When we
broke up the metal our judges here generally
agreed it was too high and brittle. and cast sew
eral little bells out Of it to try the sound and
strength, and fixed upon a mixture Of an ounce
and a half of copper to the pound of the old bell.
and in this proportion we now have It,"
Herman Pass. from the Island OF Malta, and
Jacob Stow, a son Of Charles Stow, the doorkeep-
er of the assembly, were the two ingenious work
men referred to In the above letter. After the
second casting OF the bell It was again hung and
tested in the spring of 1853. More defects were
soon found, however. The American casters,
Pass and Stow, who were not bell founders by
trade at all, had put too much copper in the metal
so that it's sound was impaired. Disappointed
with that failure and also nettled at the gibes Of
their townsmen concerning it, they asked permits
sion to cast the bell a second time. Thomas Les
ter, the original maker OF 1t, also offered his
services. but the authorities decided to allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again, and thus the
third and present casting was made, and again
the bell was raised; this time in the state house
steeple itself. That operation was completed by
the end Of August of 1853, when the American
casters were paid EGO 13s. sd. for their labors.
Then began it's chimes, August q, 1853, when
1t called the assembly together, ringing out the
old, ringing in the new: sounding its melodies for
~innumerable public and private events during
more than. four-score of years.
The first individual for whom it rang was FRANK.

the grievances Of the colonies in February. 1757.
