HICKORY NUT SIZE HAIL

Judging from reports that have
been received today, bennington
caught only the edge of the storm
Sunday afternoon. Here in the Wiz
lage considerable water fell but only
50 much as usually accompanies a
good summer shower. The cutters
were filled and section of South

here were not unusual. West of the
village little or no rain fell.
Between Bennington and Wood
the elements of cloudburst In
short time the Bickford hollow
stream was up to the spring flood
mark and during the late afternoon
and evening a large volume of water
rolled down the Walloomsac river.

years that he has lived in Woodford
hollow he never saw the stream rise
SO quickly Even at night there was
SO much water in the brook that he
was unable to drive in small herd
of cows pastured on the side of the
mountain.
At the height Of the storm hail
stones as la,ge as walnuts pelted the
leaves from the trees.
a new footbridge at Camp Com
fort was carried away but outside of
injury to gardens along the streams
through the overflow, little damage
was done.

The Bennington Woodmen held
their first annual picnic and field
day at Hunts upper grove Saturday af
ternoon and the event was an unqual-
flied success. Notwithstanding other

was the competitive drill between
teams representing The Woodman or
CARNATIONS in Hoosick Falls and
Bennington. The visiting team was
d,lled by George Anderson and the
Bennington team by Capt. William
]. Lonergan. The eyOlutions of each
team were not at all similar ito those
carried out by the other and though
the drills occupied nearly three-qua:-
ters OF an hour they kept the atton-
lion OF the crowd.
Because the Glks' team did not put
in an apes ancc, il was necessary
to cancel the tus OF war and Chair
man Sperber awarded the handsome
silver loving cup to the Eagles by

gram was the race for the creased
pig. The porker did not make haii
a dozen jumps before Paul Kettle. q

by hind leg. Piggy was returned
TO the crate and, with the assistance
OF another small boy, Kettle carricN
his prize away in triumph.
