The show proved one of the most

highly elated over the success of the

coming, and by o'clock at night the
best attendance that had yet viewed
the exhibit was on hand to make a
final inspection of the prize winners
and watch with eager interest the dis
tribution of the prizes to the lucky
ones.
The judging ring was the center of
attraction shortly after $780, when the
winners in their respective classes were
paraded before the admiring throng
and were then lined UP before the
judge for his decision as to which was
the best in the show. Only half dozen
owners brought their dogs out for the

The baseball walloping came off

Ganley took safe clout at the ball
and Francks was hit by Williams.
Kruger forced Ganley at third, but
Schahy hit safe enough. With the

forced Francks over the rubber.

Streib tore through on Lohmans dou-

RUNNING THE BLOCKADE.

Increased vigilance on the part of
Admiral Togo's fleet has resulted in
the capture of the British steamer
Fupin heavily laden with contraband
and on her way to Port Arthur. Some
days before another such vessel, with
Shanghai. Incidentally many junks
carrying food and ammunition to the
besieged fortress from Chefoo have
been overhauled by japanese torpedo
boats and sunk. 1t is but lately that
the japanese have kept such a bright
lookout; but they evidently have
reason to believe that the prolongation
of the siege is measurably due to the
inflow of contraband under the slim
illus of StoesseFs offer of large cash
premiums for supplies.
The reason why blockade-running
has been so eagerly attempted at Port
Arthur lies in the fact that Admiral
Togo has maintained only the form of
a naval Gordon there. According to
George KEENAN, the japanese fleet
stays in port at the Elliott islands,
something like 80 miles from the Rus
sian fortress, being represented On the
siege line only by guardship and
some torpedo boats. At night and in
stormy weather the vessels go to sea
and it is then the blockade-runners
creep in. 1t looks now as if the Japa-
nese Were watching nearby ports care
fully and preparing to intercept any
suspected vessel that may come out.
Why Admiral Togo did not form the
usual semi circle of the entrance To
Port Arthur and maintain a rigid
blockade is not clear; but perhaps such
methods have gone out now that sub
marines and floating mines have come
in
