 Two men in a Stevens -Duryea car made flying visit to this town last Sunday. They flew through Main and East Main streets on their way to the Hollow about 1.15 p. m. They had inc throttle wide open and were going the limit, whatever the limit is for this make of car. Returning later in the afternoon, they came to grief at the corner of East Main and East streets. The turn is abrupt, and as they came into East Main the ma chine slowed to the curb in front of the Hancock residence. One wheel was smashed, but the machine did not overturn, owing perhaps to the fact that the hub and broken spokes ran along on the curb. It was a tester $ body on the machine, with seats fo1 two. When they made the turn, coming back, there was one passenger, girl whom they had picked up on the way down. The man who was not driving held the girl firmly in his arms and she was uninjured. A pint flask went safely through the accident, but even if it had been broken the loss would not have been total, as some of the contents had been used.
