the American teams captain gave his men
a signal. and as quick as q flash the dial
shot along the bar and banged up against
the end stick. The referees pistol sounded
again and America was declared the vim

contest. Time, 2 min. y sec. The aggre-
gate weight of the teams was: America,
1904 pounds; Germans, 1887 pounds.
The teams rext to appear were the
Russians and Italians, and the betting on
this contest was in favor of the Italians
at SO to SS. Considerable money changed
hands at these figures.
At ten minutes past 9 o'clock the Rus
slams marched to the national tune Of their
native land through the big crowd and
upon the platform. They won the choice
of corners and selected the north END,

opponents, who retreated in decidedly bad

Italy by Russia, the Scotch and Swedish
teams marched to the front TO test their

The aggregate weights of the teams were:
Scotland 1880 pounds, Sweden 1543 pounds.
The betting was In Scotland's favor at $40

contest.
There was considerable delay before the
teams put in an appearances, owing to an
accident to one of the anchormen's trap
pings, which was finally righted.
1t was almost 10 o'clock when the strug-
gle commenced. The order, ''Are you
ready. gentlemen ?" was given and once
again Referee Suilivan's little gun went
on. The red cleat did not bulge an inch

something fearful. Finally the Scotch
captain. from whose Tam o. Shanter"
huttered the feather of a turkeys wing,
gave signal and the dial budged just an
inch IN Scotlanu's favor To the surprise
OF almost all the spectators the Swedish
team made grand effort and gained two
cleats on their opponents.
The Scotch now made desperate effort
and won back lost ground. Their slight
victory was soon taken from them, "a the
SWedes, as one man, SO even was the
strain, made another effort and gained a
few cleats. Now the excitement was in
tense. and many men who had wsgered
on Scotland surrounded the poolbox and

pulling as Ii they had tho game down to a
fine point. They were cool even when

every person in the building seemed to be
aroused to high pitch of excitement.
The Scotch captain looked herce as he
again signaled his men to pull and if pos
sible win back some OF the lost cleats.
The sons of old Scotland did bend over
until their foIeheads almost touched the
cleats, but not an inch of ground did they
Gain, In fact the Swedes held their
ground. and when the Scotch teams
effort had spent itself the Swedes got
down to work and gained cleat or so.
Ii was great struggle while it lasted, but
the little Swedes proved too hard
game for the sturdy Scots, and
finally by one great effort they xot the
Scots feet tangled on the ceats and in a
iiffy the dial shot along the pole and hit
the end stick Just as the pistol cracked and
the smoke huated over to welcome the
champion Swedes. Time of pull minutes.
The anchorman of the Schoch team wore
anything but pleasant lace as he stepped
a defeated man off the platform The
Swedes. on the other hand. were recipients
of hearty congratul lations, which welcome
from their countrymen they richly de-
served. The Scotch pulled from the un-
lucky side.
The final pull of the evening was be.
tween the Danes ana Canadians, and the
betting was $40 on the former as against
SS on the latter. The aggregate weight of
the teams was: Denmark 100 and Can.
ada 1866 pounds The Canadians lost thu
toss for sides and marched down the plat
form to the hoodoo's place, while the
Canucks marched to the lucky end nearest
the entrance.
Referee Sullivan, who was dressed in
his best evening suit, pulled from his hip
pocket his favorite little gun. Then taking
a review of the lines he gave the command
to get ready and at 10:40 o'clock sharp
report was heard and the horses were off
under a heavy pull.
Canada gained an inch at the start, but
in the second following the surprise the
Danes won back the inch and half foot
in addition. The Canadians were strain
ing every muscle and slnew, but could not
gain an inch, as the Danes held their op-
ponents we'll in check.
Another powerful attempt by the Danes
gained them half cleat. Canada was
now selling S6 to So Another grand ef-
fort by The Danes and the Canadian team
broke from its position on the cleats and
the victory was won by the Danes in 4
min. 80 sec.
This ended the second nights inter
national tu2-of-war, which so far has
proved to be q great success. The defeat
of the Scotch and Canadian teams was
great surprise. but such strange results
are to be looked for in tugs.ot-war. The
Danes and Swedes have been training for
this contest for several weeks. The fol-
lowing is a summary of the result:
