under the rules the pull between the Ger
mans and Swedes went over until Monday
night, when the English and Scotch will
also struggle for supremacy, and should
there be time, there will be a third contest.
NOTES.
The Danes should get another captain.
and their third man on the rope would fiji
the position well. Captain Peterson would
make a good guard.
Captain Lange's work last evening was
perfect.
1t will be a battle royal when the Scotch
meet the Norwegians or Americans.
Everybody admired the wonderful pluck
of the Danes.
Captain Killers Scotchmen ought to win
from the English tomorrow night in a
canter. About fifteen minutes Will settle
it.
The Italians should not be judged by
their work last night. They were prac-
tlcaily working without an anchor man
from the start. Captain Corrao's men will
be heard from yet.
The N~orwegians and Scotch have each
won two victories, and have not been de-
feated. The Swedes, Danes and Ameri-
cans have each Won once, and the two lat
ter teams have suffered one defeat. The
Germans, Italians, Irish and English nave
each lost once without winning anything.
II the Americans had lost last night,
they would have been shut out for first
place. They are in it now.
Simon is a great anchorman.
Lange seems to be the only captain
who understands that it is important
Tor the captain and ancnorman
to understand each other properly. 1t
Is worse than useless to pull unless the
anchor is ready to take in the slack, be-
cause 1t is impossible to gain any rope, and
each pull costs the team something.
The contests will be very exciting from
time on.
The championship will go to either the
Americans, Norwegians, Swedes or Scotch.
Each of these teams has its favorites, and
the betting on the tinal result is getting
quite lively.

think that defeat was impossible. Three
mighty pulls brought the rope back six
inches, and then ignoring their captain
who was dancing about on tue platform
and yelling like a Comanche, they cor
tinued to heave and before the struggle
was over, had gained seven inches. AT
this stage, Captain Peterson should have
given his men a long rest, letting them

tempting TO gain any more, but

they pulled the saddle around with the
rope until there was nothing between the
hemp and the anchorman's body. OF
course he could not stand this, anG in try
ing to adjust the saddle several
more inches of rope were hauled in
by Captain Bonnerud's men. Finally the
Italian anchorman threw off the saddle al
together and q few minutes later he was
disabled. Then Captain Corrao saw that
it was useless to continue the contest, and

In the deep gloom, one form dropped onto

gallant Danish POLICEMAN, who said AT the
outset that he would rather have his arms
hanging to the rope than see Denmark

anchorman, he waited until that individual

watch on the Danes, and whenever they
were a little off their guard, a hand went
up and Captain Lange gave the signal.
