Grand Display Of Exhibits - The Dog
Show q Great Success

dispatch from Frederick. Md. last night
says: The forty-fourth annual fair of the
Frederick County Agricultural Society was
opened today with a great overflow of en-
tries In every department. Never before
have there been such grand displays of
high-class exhibits.
The exhibit of farm products is extern
sive, and in quality and size they are good
enough to compete with the choicest mar
ket gardeners products. The exhibit of
fruit is very good and shows increased in
terest in apple growing in the county.
The grains are all represented and are
of quality equal in every respect to those
of any state.
The poultry department numbers fully
twice that of any previous fair.
The dog show is one of the most inter-
esting attractions the grounds. The
many high-class dogs, a great majority of
which have winning records prove that
this new departure in agricultural fairs is
exceedingly popular. Not only is the live
stock the greatest in numbers, but the av-
erage quality is far superior to that of any
preyiouS fair.

as Thanksgiving day comes on November

Last year Harvard barely won from the
Indians by a score of II to II.
Harvard, Dartmouth and Amherst are
about the only college teams that have not
been scored on this season.
Amherst has a star punter in Watson. He
would make a valuable addition to the
Harvard team.

against them.
Field Coach Rafferty, is through expert
r,enting with Shevlin as full back, and
the latter has returned to his old place at
end.
Judging from the interest that is being
taken in the Harvard-Indian game to be
played next Saturday every seat In the
Stadium will be occupied.
Jim Hogan is a great believer in cheerful
ness among his men. Unless he hears a
man laugh frequently, he goes to Mike Muir
ply without delay and makes inquiries
about the silent persons health. 1t Is Ho-
gsn's belief that one shouldn't worry about
the game. He believes that worriment pulls

FIGHT FOR LONE TREE HILL.
Capture by Russians and Repulse of
the Japanese

Lone Tree Hill, won by the Russians af
ter desperate struggle. was the object of
a gallant but unsuccessful attempt at re-
capture by the Japanese Monday night In
spite or the awful slaughter with which
they had been driven from the hill. the
Japanese returned to the charge that night.
recognizing that the hill was the key to
the position on the southwest front Nine
regiments participated, creeping I'D through
the night and delivering a furious assault
at dawn But the hill had been bought
too dearly by the Russians to relinquish It.
and the Japanese were driven back with
terrible slaughter
The battlefield of Lone Tree Hill presents
the most awful spectacle that can be con-
ceived. Russian and Japanese dead are
mingled in heaps in inextricable confusion.
The ground is strewn with broken rifles
that had been smashed in hand-to-hand
lighting. Everything seems to have been
utilized as weapon. The Russian doctors
are working heroically on the slopes of the
hill In the attempt to save those of the
wounded who still survive, but the Japa-
nese keep up sniping fire and render
the work of relief difficult and dangerous
Nemirovich Danchenko, the well-known
Russian war correspondent telegraphs a
description of the recapture of Lone Tree
Hill, which fell into the hands of the Japa-
nese during night attack while the Rus
slams slept. He says:
Gen. kuropatkin the following day Or
dered the hill to be retaken, and the whole
Russian artillery concentrated at ) in the
morning and showered the hill with projec-
tiles, the awful spectacle lasting the entire
d. y. 1t seemed that no human being could
outlive such an ordeal, yet the defenders re-
manned manfully at their posts.
1.-The sun was already declining when Ku-
ropatkin gave the order to storm. Six regi-
ments advanced, fording the river in the
face of a murderous fire. The enemy de-
termined to make us pay dearly for 1t. He
poured a hail of gun and rifle fire on our
advancing columns, but nothing could stop
them. They reached the other side, clam
bered UP and at IL o'clock at night the po-
stion was in our hands. I have just Wis
tied the scene of our triumph. The trenches
are filed with dead Japanese and Russians
clutched in death embrace"
The last Japanese defenders of Lone Tree
HILL two artillery officers, refused quarter
and died fighting with their swords beside
their guns.
The Russian correspondents are sending
voluminous details of the horrors of the
capture of lone Tree Hill. The slopes and
summit are covered with mangled remains.
1t turns out that in the twentieth and forty
first Japanese regiments which made the
defence of the crest, every Japanese officer
killed had compass on his person.

The Business High School foot ball team
was given a severe trouncing yesterday af-
ternooD at American League Park by the
technical High School team, the ''Mechan-
les winning by score of q to o. in two
fifteen minute halves. The Technical boys
outweighed the Business team, several of
the players looking like mountains beside
the Commercial" team
Not only the weight but the excellent
team work of the Technical team won the
game. The Business boys found in the
not win. so they tried to hold the winners in
check and keep the score down.
Tech scored sixteen points in the first
half, on three touchdownS and a goal. On
the kick off of the second half the Tech"
boys received the ball and went through
the business line for long gains until they
had crossed the line for another touchdown
few minutes after play started. Gentner
scored the first touchdown and Parsons
kicked goal, but the latter failed on two
other easy chances.
The Business team did considerable punt
ing in the second half when it found
that the Tech" line was stone wall. The
yictors had the ball within one foot of scor-
called
Gentner. Duganne and Backus played a
fine game for the Tech team, while
Keser and Bender were the best for Bust
ness. Foster. the much-talked-of right
guard of the Business team, who towers
head and shoulders over the other players
of the Business team. was not in the game
with his good playing. as the Technical
team plowed through his position at will.

WEIGHT OF FIGHTERS.
Featherweight and Lightweight Glass
Hard to Determine.

With the arrangement of the match be-
tween Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt for the
lightweight championship and the rehabil-
itation of Terry McGovern the devotees OF
pugilism have had great deal to talk
about lately. McGovern's great six-round
bout with Eddie Hanlon is still being dis
cussed and will be commented upon for
weeks to come. There is no more popular
little man In the business than Terry. be-
cause Of his record and his willingness to
fight when called upon to do so. While
McGovern's restoration to form is not as
decisive as his most ardent supporters
would desire. it Is sufficient to lead his ad-
mirers to believe that with patient training
and close attention to tho rules OF regular
living McGovern may again become the
premier fighter Of his weight. AS to re-
gaining the title OF featherweight cham

A dispatch from New York last night
says: The jury in the case of Philip Wein-

Trades Alliance, on trial for extortion,
returned a verdict of guilty shortly be-
fore midnight tonight. He was at once
remanded to the Tombs until October %,
when sentence will be pronounced. Vein
seimer has been on trial for more than
a week. He was charged by George j.
Essig, a master plumber, with extorting
s., 100 from him under a threat not to
permit work to continue on the Chats
worth apartment house here unless the
money was paid. Weinseimer and his
counsel expected a disagreement or ac-
quittal.
When Weinseimer heard the verdict he
trembled and grasped the railing to steady
himself. When his pedigree was taken he
answered in a voice scarcely audible. His
counsel said that he would at once appeal
the case on the ground that the verdict
was contrary to the evidence.
