Antonio Casselletti, doing business as
f. Wagner & Co., was before the muni-
cipal court Monday morning, charged with
harboring an unregistered dog. The
defendent admitted that he had diminu-
tive greyhound which had been run over
and all the ribs broken MS well as the
collar bone fractured. In addition
to these injuries the animal was
deaf and blind, and Mr.. Cassellotti
attempted defense on the ground that
the quadruped in question was no longer
n dog on account of his numerous aiilic-
tions. The dogs anatomy is reduced
to mere shadow, and the owner claimed
that there wns not enough of the frame
work and flesh left intact to be digniiied
by the name of dog. He expected its
death daily, but could not have his feel
ings shocked by having it killed. The
court did not recognize the soundness of
the defense and the defendant was obliged
to pay the costs of prosecution, the
special officers fee and to pay registra.

TORONTO, ONT., Sept. 17.-The first
round of the Fulljames-G Gilmore tight here
yesterday resulted in favor of F'Illjamos,
who forced the fighting, md who claiined
and was allowed first blood. In the
second round Giinore's superior science
was shown. Both spared cautiously, but
Gilmore had the best of it, and finally
dealt his opponent a vigorous blow on the
jaw, knocking him down and drawing
blood. Just as time was called for the
third round the police put in an appear
ance and stopped the fight.

meeting of representatives of California
and American sugar reiinors, it was de-
cided to advance the price of sugar
two cents per pound. Later
another meeting was held at
which it was considered advisable to ad-
