AMONG The DOGS.

The Westminster Kennel Club and the con-
tributing organizations and exhibitors have rea-
son for qualification over the notable success OF
the show which was held in the Madison Square
Garden last week. II is generally said by those
competent to pass judgment that this was the
most remarkable collection of fine dogs Of all
classes ever got together In New-York; and. Of
course that means II was much the best yet
gathered in any part Of America. Many other
cities in the United States have had interesting
and successful dog shows hut no one ventures

I'm the wonderful fulne5s, variety and excellence
Of the representation Of every imaginable type.
And nowhere can be found another building so

The response OF the lovers OF dogs 20 the ar
ranSements Of the managers OF the show was
generous, aS fl should have been. Hosts OF dog
fanciers came 10 town especially 10 see this
exhibition. and the list of entries covered
wide range between the Atlantic and the Pa

seen the biggest shows I'm London and also in
Continental capitals say that the New-YOrk
classes did not fall in merit below the highest
standard Of the exhibitions of the Old World.
and some who ought 10 know what they are

that in several departments Of this fine cOllec-
ton OF intelligent animals the most striking
achievements Of Old World exhibitors We're sur

money like water for many years in bringing
here the choicest dogs that any country could

THE PACIFIC MAIL DISASTER,

The primary cause OF the loss of the City Of
Rio Janeiro was the eccentric behavior OF the
fog which overspread the sea near the Golden
Gate and compelled the ship 10 anchor outside
the harbor on Thursday night little before
dawn II began 10 lift. and the pilot, being able
10 identify familiar landmarks, got under way
At the entrance 20 the bay. however the misty
veil grew denser again. At this juncture the
slow speed of the ship and the lateral set of
tidal currents combined 10 throw her further 10
one side of her proper course than the pilot
realized. Before he knew it, therefore. she was
on a rock whose existence was known. but
which he had doubtless hoped 10 avoid.
The question whether the pilot was warranted
in proceeding as he did is one concerning which
two opinions may perhaps be entertained. Other
navigators might have decided 10 drop back 10
the anchorage OF a few hours before when they
found the fog thickeninS once more. But It IS
70 be borne in mind that this obstacle to vision
had already shown signs OF breaking up. Again.
the ship was now three days overdue, and
owners as we'll as passengers are always i'm
patient over needless waste Of time. Still fur
ther, IL is asserted that Captain Ward, who was
on the bridge beside the pilot. advised the latter
10 90 ahead. Finally. the ships speed so
slow that one cannot help wondering whether
she might not have escaped by putting on more
steam. II Is credible that such policy, though
risky from one point OF view, might have
diminished her lateral drift
Some of the passengers OF the lost liner believe
that when Captain Ward fully realized the situ-
alton he took his life In his cabin, the act being
inspired by grief and sense Of responsibility
for what had happened. II this surmise be cor
rect, the captains suicide would betray senti-
ments Of an exceedingly high order. But II IS
not clear that SelfreprOach was justified Tech
nlcally AZ least he was not In charge Of the
ship when she struck Mile Rock. and he was not
TO blame
BY thar event. OF course, a new emergency
was created. IL was now necessary 20 launch
the boats as speedily as possible and get the
passengers and crew into them. The time was
far too short for deliberate execution OF that
programme Yet had the men been more famil-
lar with their duties the sacrifice OF life might
have been smaller Inasmuch as a different Off
Ger and gang Of men are always assigned 10
each station. II should he practicable 20 have
all the boats afoat in the time required TO
launch one. But the efficiency OF a crew on
such an occasion depends more largely on pre-
viOus drill than on the cOOlness OF the captain
or pilot when the crisis actually arrives And
IN this important detail % a ships discipline
there is a great variety In the usage OF the diff
ferent lines and even between the different
ships OF the same line. But whether or not there
was any lack OF fire drill under Captain Ward.
the fate of the Rio Janeiro certainly will i'm
press other mariners with the necessity for
systematic exercise with the fire apparatus.

of the Flatbush-ave. extension to the Bridge IN
Brooklyn, which was once proposed and was
one Of the most desirable of all Improvements
But the case should serve as an instructive
warning against a repetition of such laundering
in the case Of the new bridge. A bridge Is OF
little value unless IL is easily accessible. AT
the Brooklyn end the great thOroughfare OF
Broadway may be utilized as an approach But
at the Manhattan end il would be ravesty
on transit to depend upon Norfolk and Delaney
sts in their present state as avenues OF access
10 and egress from the bridge. There must be
ample roadway for half a dozen surface car
lines probably for a branch OF the elevated
road system. and for innumerable caravans OF
vehicles of all sorts not 10 mention bicycles

them all without the delay and dangerous
crowding that result from the inadequate facili-
ties Of the present bridge.

RRLDGE APPROACHES

The question of proper approaches To the New
East River Bridge is raised. IL Is pertinent
and important one, second in Importance only
to that Of the bridge itself. In the case of the
existing bridge this question Was deplOrably
neglected. When IL was opened to travel that
peerless structure extended from gridirOn OF
car tracks al one end 10 "A maze Of narrow
alleys AT the other. Some improvement has
heen effected in Brooklyn by the opening and
widening Of LibsIty-st. and the creation of the
so-called plaza" but the approach 70 the
Bridge from the east side is still about as bad
as possible and the consequent congestion and
delay Of traffic are enormous. At the Manhat-
tan end the approach rs in all respects so bad
