Time
special to The Evening Journal.


NEW CASTLE. July si-Up until g
O'Clock last night Clerk Of Council
Hush Duffy had registered 2l2 dogs
of all species, colors and sizes. This
is believed to be about one-half of the
number OF dogs In the city.
Although there is stil some grumbl-
ing among owners OF dogs regarding
the new ordinance. as rule those who
place any value az all upon their
CANNES have nearly all come TO the
front and obtained register a
peculiar part Is that a large percent
age Of colored people have had their
dogs registered.
SO far three dogs is the highest
number that my one person has
claimed ownership to. although il Is
said that there are several families in
the city who are known to have at
least a dozen CANNES about their
premises.
AS a matter OF accommodation Mr..
Duffy will sit again at the Mayors S
Office for the purpose Of registration,
but tomorrow the Slaughter Of in
nocents" will begin. So far Mayor
Boyd has not appointed anyone to kill
unregistered dogs, but viii do SO prob
ably tonight. Clerk Duffy has had a
number of requests to wait tin sat
urday" by colored owners Of dogs, but
the law states that all CANNES must be
registered by August 1.
"seetion Three"
Section Of the new ordinance reads
as follows:
3.-If the owner possessor or har-
borer of any day. shall not, before the
first day Of August in every year,
cause the same to be registered Cor
if any person coming into the possess
sion of any dog after the first day OF
August shall not Immediately cause
the same to be registered) or shall suf-
fer such dog while on his or her prem
ses to give reasonable cause of annoy
ance TO any person. every person so
offending shall be fined not less than
one dollar nor more than FIVE dollars,
one half the fine to be paid to the in
former provided that nom residents of
the city not continuing therein at any
one time longer than ten days are not
required to cause their dogs to be
registered"
Game Not in Doubt.
Despite the fact that Dover is re-
cognized as a fast ball team there is
but little doubt as to the outcome OF
the game which II viii play with New
Castle on Saturday As the umpire is
a stranger TO New Castle there should
be no howl" regarding unfair decisions.
II Is probable that John Kenney OF
Wilmington viii succeed Booth as Of
fetal umpire for the n. c. A. A.. for
the remainder Of the season.
Dover's line-up for Saturdays game
will probably be as follows: Wright,
RI; Jones, If; Alice, %; Johnson, IS;
zearfoss, C; Donohoe CT; Price, 1b;
Mcdaniel, 3b; Topham. p.
