A few days ago a number of speci-
mems of the puffer were taken to the

the neighborhood of this city. They are
so named because of the elasticity of
their skin and the facility with which
they can initiate themselves by dou-

tion they resemble in some respects n

steamers and other vessels carrying

The sailing rules for the patrol fleet
and for excursion steamers, which were
approved. are substantially the same
as those in force by the Regatta Com
mittee of the New York Yacht Club.
The regulations direct attention, how
ever, more specifically than hitherto to
the penalties which may be imposed
for violation of the rules. Secretary
Cortelyou makes it understood that
suspension or revocation of license Will
be the punishment of any captain or
pilot of an excursion steamer who
breaks the rules.
As soon as Secretary Shaw has def

Cup Defenders Trials.
While the winning record of Reliance
is remarkable, 1t is not without paral-
lei in the history of cup defenders. OF
twenty-one races she sailed she won
sixteen, while she finished first in eigh-
teen. In one race she was put out by
the loss of her topmast, and the re-
naming two were unfinished. Three of
her predecessors, however, made a still
better showing; they never lost race
in their first season. They were the
Volunteer, Defender, and Columbia.
The Volunteer, from her first appear
ance to the end of the match with the
Thistle, never was even headed.

Puritan and MayflOwer.
Neither the Puritan nor the May
flower in their struggles for the honor
of defending the cup enjoyed unin-
terrupted success. The Puritan, which
marked the departure in American
yacht building from the old skimming-
dish type, was built from designs by

when lying on gravel bottom it might
easily be mistaken by another fish
swimming above for part of the bed
itself. Although it is not known posi-
lively why the puffer has this power
to enlarge itself. it is thought by some
that this is a means of protection. The

eight inches long Everyone knows
how hard it would be to swallow a
ball six or eight inches in diameter,
and that the number of species of fish
which could do this successfully is not
large.
The puffer has the power apparently
to make itself as uncomfortable as a
fishbone-while in the process of being
swallowed. A story is told about two
New York fishermen who pulled in a
netful of buffers, a species of fish they
had never seen or heard of before.

of the boat and were surprised to find

Bad Place for a Fight With a Bear.
Redding (CaI.) dispatch to the San
Francisco Call.
On the edge of cliff, 100 feet above
a canyon, John Watts, a cattle raiser
of this county, lay on his back and
hung on to the jowls of bear which
had fallen on top of him until the an
imal was shot by Watts companion.
Then the beast, in it's death struggles,
rolled down the precipice and nearly
took the man along with it.
That is the story that Watts and his
companion, John Ogburn, tell of an oc-
currence in the Big Bend region of
this county. The bear ran up a ridge
near the camp, with the dogs and men
after it. Near precipice it took ref
uge in a thick clumb of young frs. Og-
burn started around on one side Of
the frs. Watts remained near the prec-
ipice.
The bear saw Ogburn, but did. not
see Watts. Out it ran, plump against
Watts, knocking him down and fall
ing on top of him. Watts, for some
reason, took firm grasp on each jowl
of the bear. Before the bear recovered
it's senses sufficiently to hurt the man
beneath it. Ogburn came running
with his rifle, pressed it against the
bears side and sent a bullet into his
heart.
AS the beast kicked in it's death
struggles and was nearing the edge
of the precipice, Ogburn yelled to
Watts to clutch young tree growing
within reach. The advice was needed.
A second afterward the bear toppled
over the edge.

BOTH SIDES HOLDING BACK HUNDREDS OF VOTES

The great Popular Lady Contest
is nearing a close. The last ballot
must be deposited tomorrow by 4
o'clock p. m. Then the official

Yesterday was the busiest day
in the Kentuckian Office for many

last count were nearly 1000 and
thousands more are in the hands of
the contestants to be deposited at
the last moment. This makes the
outcome one of great and increas-

BUSH AND COOK.
Have Another Joint Discussion al
CrOftOn.

Crofton, KY, March 2.-The can
didates for Circuit Judge spoke here
Saturday to a crowd of about $50
voters and there were some lively
passages in the speeches. Judge
Bush spoke first and made strong
plea for the voters of his own coun-
ty-men, and is speech was received
with strong evidences of approval.
Judge Cook followed and in the
course of his speech called upon
Judge Bush to name the "influ-
ences" he charged him with being
allied with. Judge Bush had said
in his speech in effect that the peo-
pie who voted for his opponent were
called upon to vote to endorse other
records, besides Judge Cooks.
In his reioinder Judge Bush gave
the name of well pown politician
who he said was understood to be
closely identified with the manage
ment of Judge Cooks campaign.
There are not many anti-Bush
men around Crofton and there were
still fewer after the speaking.
