(orally). The importations in controversy are small lanterns made of metal and glass, metal being of chief value. The collector assessed them for duty under paragraph 193 of the act[*1008] of 1897, as “non-enumerated articles, composed wholly or in part of iron, steel, lead, etc.” The importer insists that they should have been classified under paragraph 418 of the same act as “toys.” The board of general appraisers found as matter of fact that the articles were not toys. Evidence has. been taken in this court of which it is sought to predicate a finding by the court that they have been commercially known as toys. Proof necessary to establish commercial usage has been characterized by the supreme court in the case of Maddock v. Magone, 152 U. S. 368, 14 Sup. Ct. 588, 38 L. Ed. 482, as follows:

“Necessarily, commercial designation is the result of established usage in •commerce and trade; and such usage, to affect a general enactment, must be definite, uniform, and general, and not partial, local or personal."

The evidence in this case is clearly within the exception last stated. It is “partial, local and personal.” It is confined entirely to the evidence of two employés of the importing house of F. W. Woolworth, which is conceded to be a retail house, and the knowledge of the witnesses is confined exclusively to what has been known or done, by the particular house in question. In other words, there is no evidence tending to show how these articles have been regarded by importers and large dealers in the commerce of this country.

The decision of the board of appraisers is affirmed.
