dogs for considerable money. In the first
round h0nors were easy, rs eight san Fran
cisco dogs and eight of the visitors won
their courses. Owing to the scarcity OF good

the stake could not be run through, but
there WAS some good racing, the weather

Tug-of-war tournaments are as strong in
popular favor as they have ever been judg-
ing from the thousands who attended the
opening contests OF the international tour
nament last Saturday night at the
Mechanics Pavilion. There were between
5000 and 10000 people present, who enjoyed
every moment of the two hours entertain
ment.
The betting crowd was so great that the
two poolboxes did not furnish accOmoda-
ton enough, and a third box will be run
this evening.
The teams booked for the pulling tonight
are: Canada vs.. Germany, America VS..
Sweden. Ireland VS.. England. Scotland vs..
Norway, and Denmark vs.. Slavolia. The
first mentioned teams in the list are the IA
y0TlteS in the betting.
The contest in which the most interest
centers for tonight is that between Ireland
and England. and judging from the result
OF Saturday nights pulls II Is hard to make
a choice between them. The SWedeS and
Norwegians made such good showing that
the betting on the pull between the former
and the American giants Will be very close
