YACHTS ARE READY FOR
T0M0RROW'S CUP RACES

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Not in the
history Of the contests for the Ameri-
ca cup has such a widespread inter
est been aroused on both sides of
the Atlantic as is manifested in the
races between the Reliance and Sham
rock Ill, which begin tomorrow of
Sandy Hook.
Not only are hupdreds of strangers
in town from Boston. Philadelphia.
Baltimore, Chicago and many other
cities. eager to witness the grand
struggle between the two speediest
yachts ever built. but the number of
foreign visitors who are here for the
same purpose has never been ex-
ceeded. The hotels are packed with
guests and the overflow has filled the
boarding houses. .-
1t is estimated that $4,000 per-
sons will witness tomorrow's race
Besides the multitude of private craft
that will flock toward sandy Hook
lightship before IL o'clock tomorrow
there are excursion boats by the
score to give those not fortunate
enough to own yachts Of their own
or have friends who do an oppor-
tunity to witness the contest at a
moderate cost.
Betting became quite lively today
and several heavy wagers were re-
ported in the Wall street district. 1t
IS a significant fact that the most
enthusiastic supporters of the Amer

great odds and their money found
ready takers among those who are
of the opinion that the latest Upton
boat has an even chance of winning
the cup. The large party of English
visitors that reached the city early
this week are reported as placing
some heavy bets on Shamrock Ill.
The Shamrock III. was measure
today at Erie Basin cry dock, and
after her measurement the Reliance
passed under the tape. The Shamrock

May Rent Annexes
for North Side Schools

No plan has been outlined for sup
plying the deficiency in school houses
caused by the burning of the Lincoln
school. Today Secretary Thomas and
Superintendent Tormey are engaged
in collecting facts regarding the sit
uation. President Daggett said that
it is out of the question to try to
rebuild the school, as such a struc-
ture cannot be erected within a year.
1t is possible that the board may
decide to lease some building in the
vicinity of the destroyed school for
the smaller pupils, and send the larg-
er ones out of the district to the
other schools. 1t may also prove ad-
visable to rent annexes for the build
ings now in use to provide room for
the increase from the Lincoln dis
trict.

ton that he is pointing game. will make him commit the same error at the next opportunity. #.
 The greatest trouble in all breaking is to undo the errors previously taught. possibly by inadvertence, probably by a wrong system, and this double point ing will generally last through life if the breaker begin bS encouraging it. AL though, as I have said, the toxt- books make these bad blunders, and the ma jority of breakers follow them, the field trial men know better: and yet they know no more than the artists of hun dred years ago knew, for these men diG not make the blunders of the moderns.
 The simple way of breaking dogs is to talk to them as if they we're children and to prevent them from doing wrong as often as is possible. It is wonderful then what very few minutes in the day will accomplish; but If, on the contrary, dogs are started wrongly, and have to unlearn, they will not be ready to start the right way until their first lessons are quite unlearned, a process that may take ten times as long as the whole business of teaching would have taken if proper start had been made.

SMALLEST STATE IN EUROPE.
Recently Lost Its Identity by Being Annexed to Belgiuna-Had Only
 1,2O0 Inhabitants.

Few people are aware that the smallest state in Europe has just ceased to exist, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The minute country in question was neither Monaco, nor San Marine, nor Andorra, nor yet Leichtenstein, but Noresnet-a small scrap of territory between Belgium and Prussia, not far from Aix-la-Cha- belle. The independence of Moresnet dates from 1915, and it was only a few days ago that the two neighboring states at last arrived at any agree. ment for It's absorption. .
 Moresnet has now been annexed by Belgium, while Prussia receives pc cuniary indemnity. The amount of the latter should be large, for neutral Moresnet contained the most valuable deposits of zinc in the world The decision was hastened by the estab- lishment of a gambling hell there, which was stopped by the Belgium government. i.
 The inhabitants, who paid no taxes and were free from military service, will be the losers by their compulsory incorporation in the Belgian Kingdom. But as there are only 1,200 of them they could not resist the act of annex ation. Had they. like San Marine. de clined the dangerous gift of casino they might have remained neutral and obscure.

BREAKING OF DOCS
The Skill Cannot Be Acquired from
 the Reading of Books.
A Trainer of Dogs Points 0ut Some oS the Most Glaring Errors Which Prevail In Fitting Dog
 for the Hunt,

It Is often said that half the books that are written telling how to break dog to hunting are untrue, and that the other half are written to prove them so. If there be measure of accuracy in the statement, 1t must be concluded that the wayAto learn to break dog is upon the field under the tutelage of a competent dog trainer. It is not necessary to teach pointer or setter to point in a room be- fore introducing it to game This Is so because the young dogs of these days, if we'll bred, at least, point naturally and the last thing any dog ought to be taught is to point to order. If his breaker knows the bettep when the dog should point,
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-11-12
A BEGINNER.

obvious thing to do is to leave him In ..ennel, and go shooting without him. This Is not only true of private breaking, 1t Is true of field trial breakers Indeed, one of the most successful owners asked me this season how it happened that a certain field-trial breakers dogs always have good deal of false point, or creepi- ness, about them. Of course, did not know, but it often happens that man who habitually has false pointers is one who e.ly half trusts his dogs noses, and tries to supplement their olfactory pow CTS by his own supposed sense of know ing. by the manner of the dog, more of the locality of game than the dog knows himself
 Nearly all the writers upon shooting make this mistake The instant dog begins to draw, up goes an arm, and Have care" or "To-ho'' is uttered. This is all wrong; no dog that is broken upon proper system is the better for Have a care" He may be doing one of two things: either he is trying to catch the birds himself, and deserves more drastic treatment. or else he Is trying to make sure whether they are there before he points them. Caution him. and he will false point, and learn two bad things first. to rely upon his breaker to tell him when to point; and. secondly, to point before he Is sure of game, that is, to false ~-point.
 When he has been "To-hoed" into these bad habits, take him home and shoot him, for he is quite useless This may seem
