OF our own artist potters it is surely
ground for national qualification.
The original vase came into the pos
session Of the noble italian family Of
Barbertni. hence its name. 1t was
acquired by Byres. the antiquary, and
then by Sir William Hamilton, who
brought It to England in the year 1854.
He, In turn. sold it to the Duchess OF
Portland. Her descendant. the fourth
duke. deposited IT in the British mu.
scum. owing TO which fact It is best
known to Englishmen as the Portland
vase. 1t was lent by the duke to
Wedgwood to make his copy from.
The body OF it had been much disput.
ed. but he found that it was glass. He
was not a glassblower. but had in.
vented his wonderful iasperware by
that time and decided his copy should
be made of that substance. 1t was a
tremendous task and took some three
years in the modelling by Hackwood
and others. The cost was never re-
couped by the subscriptions.
1t is Justly esteemed to have been
Wedgwood's masterpiece. IT has been
reproduced by his successors and by
other potters. but. Of course they have
not the same market value as those
made by the great Josiah himself.-w

One Man Cut by Flying Glass
Only Person Injured-Passen-
gers Transferred - Schooner

Steamer Narrowly Escapes
Second Collision

Boston, Sept 9-One hundred and
fifty passengers on the steamer Rose
Standish were thrown into a mild
panic tonight when the schooner r.
L. Tay, lumber laden from Bangor,
Me-, crashed into it off Long Island
Head. Women screamed and there
was a hush for life preservers but
order was quickly restored. A man
who was cut by flying glass was the
only person injured. His wounds are
not serious
A hole was broken in the Standish's
starboard side, just off the paddle
wheel. AS she could not continue her
trip to Nantasket Beach, her passen-
gers were transferred to the steamer
Myles Standish of the same line,
without mishap.
The bow of the schooner was crush
ed by the impact, and water entered
in such volume as to bring the YES
sci down by the head almost imme-
diately. Her crew hurriedly launched
a small boat and rowed away. The
municipal steamer George A. Hib-
bard recalled them however. and sent
a line aboard the schooner. which
was taken in town and beached on the
island.
The Rose Standish was grazed soon
afterward by a second schooner,
fisherman, which did not see her IN
the dark.
