CANS THE WINNER.

NEW YORK, September Joe
Cans, of Baltimore, whipped Eugene
Bezenah, of Cincinnati, at the Broad
way Athletic Club tonight. The men
met for twenty-five round go at 1873
pounds. For the first three rounds
Cans confined himself to sizing up his
opponent. In the fourth Bezenah went
to the floor, but got up instantly and
threw right swing which landed in
the middle of Cans back. In the next
round Cans punished his man in the
short ribs and over the kidneys, forc>
ing Bezenah to the ropes and floor.
Bezenah was very wild in the sixth and
fought blindly. Cans was cautious in
the seventh until he saw an opening,
when he sent his right in and Bezenah
remained on the floor for nine seconds.
Bezenah's legs seemed to give out in
the eighth and after receiving a kidney
blow he staggered all over the ring and
went down three times before the call
CT time. Rights and let's were show
cred on Bezenah in the ninth and the
end came in the tenth. Cans shot his
left hard to the face and followed it
with two rights on the jaw which put
the westerner on his back and he was
counted out. Time of last round two
minutes and twenty-three seconds.

SIR THOMAS ARRIVES.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE Gu
nard Line steamer Campania arrived
at quarantine tonight at 7:30 o'clock,
and was met in the narrows by flotilla
Of tugs and the steam yacht Erin to
greet Sir Thomas Upton, who was a
passenger on the liner. The quaran-
tine commissioner boat, the State of
New York, also appeared on the scene
with a large party under the guidance
Of Commissioner Palmer. The party
consisted of Col. Tredwell, Gov. Roos-
evelt's military secretary, who was
sent by the governor to receive Sir
Thomas Upton, a number of officials
and members of the New York Yacht
Club, a number Of members from the
New England Society and other similar
organizations All boarded the steam
er and came up to the dock. Sir
Thomas Upton, when seen at quaran-
tine, said that he had had a pleasant
trip.
Sir Thomas in his welcome down the
bay received an invitation. extending
the courtesies of fifty-six clubs while in
this country and an invitation to lead
the marine division of the Dewey cele-
bration with his yacht Erin. Both
were accepted.
One OF the first questions Sir Thomas
asked after the first greeting was:
How is the Columbian" He then ex-
pressed the belief that the best boat
would win, saying; I'VE felt it waste
of time to come here with anything but
the best boat in England. She is here
now. We are going to do our best.
The Shamrock will do her best and we
will try to do better than some people
who have been here before. Whatever
the outcome of the race may be, l am
sure if | am defeated it will be because
have not the best boat. feel that
am among friends"

An Army Of Them Busy Arranging
tie Public Schools Exhibit
AT THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS.
THE LIVE STOCK ENTRIES
HAVE CLOSED AND Is THE
LARGEST AND BEST EVER
SEEN HERE.

The Exposition building at the State
Fair grounds was the scene o. activity
yesterday, and it was worth ones while
making a visit over on the Island to
witness the scene. Early " the morn
ing there was procession of school
marms down South Front street and
through the main gate of the grounds,
and by noon complete transformation
of the north wing of the main building
had taken place. The entire right side
of the north wing has been assigned
this year of the educational depart
ment, and yesterday was the day set for
the principals to begin the decorating
and exhibiting of the display to be
made by the public school children.
Each district is trying to out-do the
the result is that the finest exhibition
of school work ever made in the State
will be that of the Wheeling schools
at the State Fair. Every grade is to be
represented, from the primary to the
graduating class. Drawing, sketching,
music, writing, fancy work, eXamina-
ton papers, and in fact every branch
of the work that is going On in the
public schools is to be displayed. Among
the principals present yesterday were
Professors Crago, Gwinn, Hammond,
Miss Bingle, Miss Reppetto, and nearly
every teacher in the schools was pres
ent assisting in the work. Prof. w. c.
Anderson, who is superintendent of the
department, said yesterday that he had
never seen so complete display Of
school work, and expressed his salts
faction at the excellent quality of every
exhibit. 1t is superior to that sent from
Wheeling to either the Centennial or
the Worlds Fair, and VIII attract gem
eral attention during next weeks big
show.
The entries to the races printed in
yesterday mornings papers, was com
mented favorably upon by everybody,
and the prospect of fine week of
racing is looked forward to.
General activity all over the grounds
is the order of things from early morn
ing until late at night just now. The
privilege men have already begun to
arrive, and yesterday half dozen res
taurant and refreshment stands were
up and ready for business. An immense
merry go-round is already on the
grounds and the Machinery Hall is
beginning to fill UP with exhibits Of
farming implements, etc. A photogra-
piers tent is along the Midway and
the camera is pointed ready to make
tin types of the festive lover and his
intended.
The entries for the live stock depart
ment closed last night, and they are
larger and of a more extensive and
superior quality than has ever before
been exhibited at the Fair. The textile
department and fine arts. under the
direction of Miss Annie Reymann and
a large force of assistants, is assuming
gigantic proportions and yesterday the
ladies were kept busy arranging for the
increased number of exhibits.
The special features, made up by Jay
Cooks Hippodrome and Equine Para
dox, will arrive on Sunday and the out
fit. which requires three large cars to
transport 1t, will be taken Immediately
