might force by persistent torpedo aE= tacks some of our ships to break the formation and engage us with all their ships.
 Taking into consideration the fact that the enemy's entire force was greatly superior to ours and in view also of the large number of Japaneee torpedo boats, I decided to return to Port Arthur
 The squadron reached the roadstsad of Port Arthur, where it cast anchor. At the same time our rearmost war- ships successfully repulsed two Japa- nese torpedo attacks.
 There were afterward found along the coast near our warships twelve Whitehead torpedoes which had been launched by the enemy at long range. the torpedo boats not being allowed to approach nearer than twelve cable lengths.
 .'The torpedo boats attacked sn groups, and at least two of them were sunk.
 "The bodies of Japanese officer and two sailors have been found upon khs' beach.
 ''All our vessels entered port at high tide.''
 A Liaoyang dispatch says that Genz. eral Kuropatkin and General Kurokz are moving their troops like men on q chessboard. The Japanese are now twenty miles from Liaoyang Detach- ments totaling 1,200 men have been detailed from General RennenkampfEs # < Cossacks to scout in the defiles and hills, harassing the Japanese and not allowing them any rest day or night The Japanese artillery is said to be commanded by an American. His tnzI form is frequently seen with the bat-s teries.
 The Russian center is boing rapidly pushed northward to a point where Kuropatkin established his base after the battle of Vafangow. So far ae the Russians know Kurcki is steadily pushing onward through all the moun-. tain passes, even toward DTukden Preparations for a strong defense are now practically complete. The dem onstrations made during the last few days against the Russian left flank threaten to completely change the po- sition of the two armies

RACING
DRIVING PARK SPORTS.
Big Day on Monday for South End
 Social Club.

Every thing is now in readiness for the second grand carnival and picnic to be given by the South End Social club and the Waterbury Driving asso- citation at the Driving park July 4, af- ternoon and evening.
 It is expected that one of the largest crowds will be on hand as considerable interest is being manifested in the different athletic sports. The 1OO- yard dash, which will be exclusively for boys under 16 years, is causing no end of anxiety among the young gen. eration and already over 50 entry blanks have been given out.
 There is considerable interest taken in the match race between Highball and American Girl, which will be for one mile Charles Gumpfer, the well known business man of the south end, is the owner of Highball, and John F. Downey will look after the interests of American Girl A side bet has been made on this race between the inter ested parties and there is a consider able number of small bets.
 The automobile race will certainly be a novel feature of the picnic, as this will be the first race of its kind held iE this city.
 The 2:35 class, which will include many of the fast horses in the Nauga- tuck valley, will give the public an idea Of the kind of horse that is in this section.
 The fat mems race. which will be for T5 yards, will without b doubt be the means of many pounds of flesh be- ing lost on the Driving park Monday afternoon, as number of the 300- pound class have already entered.
 The committee has made arrange ments to keep the grand stand re- served for ladies and children in the evening so they may have an opportun- ity of witnessing the fireworks, which will take place at Morningside.
 Dancing will be enjoyed both after noon and evening to the tuneful music furnished by F. J. Lallier's orchestra, which will furnish music up to late hour.
 The athletic sports will commence promptly at 2:3O, so all those who are to enter the different races are re- quested to be on hand so that all the races will be completed by dark.
 There will be policemen on the grounds all day so those who attend will be assured of good order prevail ing during the picnic.

CORKING
 GOOD DRAW
Joe Walcott and Larry Temple Fight a Hard Battle-Two Society Men Have it Out.

Baltimore, July 2.-Joe Wa1cott and Larry Temple fought like wildcats through ten rounds to a draw before Al Herford's athletic club last night.
 Temple started in like a whirlwind in the first round, and there was hot exchange of swings, cuts and wallops. The second round was repetition of Temples rushing when Walcott would clinch and wallop his right to Tenn ple's kidneys.
 Temples rushes made the crowd yell and he landed some effective blows, but Walcott always had punch in return. Temple continued the forcing ill the third and fourth rounds, and had a shade the better of these two. Tn the fifth Walcott evened tip mat ters with wallops to the head and stomach.
 The sixth made Temple look like a winner to the crowd. He rushed Wal colt. swinging rights and lefts for Walcott's head, and he made the Bar bados wonder tin-can until he fell through the ropes
 Temple continued to hit at Walcott until Referee O'Hara pulled him away. When Walcott got up Temple again rushed, and had Walcott going when the gong sounded.
 The seventh was tame. The crowd was yelling then, but changed its tune in the eighth, when Walcott landed a right on Temples jaw and scored the cleanest kind of knockdown. Temple took the count and came back into a clinch, looking all but out. He re- ceived more rights and lefts to the head, but managed to stay the round out.
 Temple fought. but was evidently sat isfied to stay the limit. Wa1cott tried hard to finish Temple, but could not land right.
 The decision of u draw was popular.

St. Peteraburg Says Japs' Report of Sinking of Russian ships Of Port Arthur Is FaIse-VIadivostok
 Fleet Safe In Port.

LONDON, July 2.-A Liaoyang dis patch says that General Kuropatkin, with endorsements, has personally moved on the Dalin pass, which has been evacuated by the Japanese and reoccupied by the Russians.
 At St. Petersburg it is said that the Japanese report of the sinking of sew eral vesseRs of the Russian squadron and that the killed included Rear Ad- miral Prince Ouktonsky and TOO sail- ors is absolutely untrue.
 Emperor Nicholas has received the following dispatch from Viceroy Alex eieff:
 "A report received from the acting commander of the Port Arthur squad ron, Rear Admiral Withoft, states that when the Japanese attacked Port Ar thur eight torpedo boats were dispatch- ed to guard the roadstead seven miles out to sea.
 "The torpedo boats repulsed the enc my's torpedo boats, which had ap- preached. During this action Com mander Ellisseien, Lieutenant Smir- noff and two bluejackets were wound ed. All the torpedo boats returned safely.
 "Then the Novik, Diana, Askold, sevastopol, Poltava, Cesarevitch, Po- bieda, Peresyiet, Retvizan, Bayan and Pallada steamed out into the roadstead in line ahead and anchored. Two float ing Japanese mines having been per ceived in the roadstead, the squadron remained at anchor.
 Meanwhile several small boats which had been searching for mines discovered and exploded ten on the eastern side of the roadstead. An ex- animation showed that the mines were probably laid during the night by two of the enemy's torpedo boats, which had approached Port Arthur.
 Later tie squadron, preceded by a fotilla of mine dredgers, torpedo boats and the Novik, steamed in line ahead toward the open sea, having emerged from the roadstead without mishap. The squadron shaped it's course southward, and the dredgers were sent back to Port Arthur, escort ed by armed picket boats. Two Japa- nese scouts with detachment of tor pedo boats were keeping our squadron in sight all the while.
 Twenty miles from shore a Japa- nese squadron was sighted steaming in division lines ahead, which on draw ing closer was found to be composed of one second class and four first class battleships, four armored first class cruisers, seven second class cruisers, five third class cruisers, one scout boat, one steamer and thirty torpedo boats in two divisions
 .'As they approached the Japanese were seen to be preparing to place a l division of cruisers and torpedo boats between the shore and our squadron in order that during the darkness. they

SOCIETY MEN FOUGHT.

Philadelphia, July 2.-To settle la grudge, Charles Willing and F. sCad- wallader Dade. both of whom are well known socially, fought twenty rounds Wednesday night, and Willing was proclaimed the victor. The fight, which was witnessed by a few of the friends of the men, was lively from the start.
 The men fought because they had a tiff on the streets several weeks ago in which Dade slapped Willing f1 the face. Willing was hot, and Dade didn't object to the row going still fur ther.
 1t had been agreed that the fight should be to finish, and it went to the twentieth round with neither of the combatants having gained any ap- parent advantage. Toward the end of this round Willing landed blow that resulted in a. knockout. A former Yale oarsman was referee.

London, July PA dispatch to the Daily Mail from Kiel says that. En- peror William is so annoyed by the manner in which the American yachts there have been sailed that he refused to share in the races Friday. He did not attend the distribution of prizes.
 The Field describes in detail the rae in gat KieIup to June %, but nlSlxes no mention of dissatisfaction with the Americans. It remarks that the Me- teor III was wholly to blame for the incident on June 26, when she was nearly in collision with the Ingomar, a fact that Emperor William recognized by retiring from the race.
 The Field points out that the meas urement and time allowance rules gov erning the regatta have proved very un- satisfactory for the British and Ameri- can yachts, none of which is built to meet such conditions.

Does Not Like the Way American
 Yachts are sailed-Ingomar Win.
 Kiel, July 2.-Races for three classes of yachts, from Kiel to Travemunde, started early yesterday Emperor Will liam's Meteor III, the Empress's Idu- na. Morton Plants Ingomar and Herr Ballin's Hamburg entered the big schooner class. but the imperial yachts did not sail, the race being between the Ingomar and Hamburg. Their course was nearly 100 miles long. The smaller yachts had shorter courses.
 The wind was light and variable, which prolonged the contest until a late hour The Ingomar and Navahoe won in their respective classes. There was much. .disappointment that the em- peror neither sailed the Meteor III him. self, as is his custom, nor allowed her to be sailed.
