Daniel 0Connell, the famous Irisk
agitator, had a contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion a meet.
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled in room on the FIRST
floor Of building In small city In
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
"Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore 1t up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in few
minutesw
Keep silent" said o'Connell. Then,
raising his voice. he addressed the as
sembly:
Il find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to
come in, so we must leave 1t and hold
the meeting outside the building"
At this few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
OConnell said:
Il will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen, therefore brave men. The
floor Is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once. II there Is a panic

POLICE DOGS At >SHOW.
Ne,c Thief Catchers VIII Compete
for Prizes IN the Garden.

One of the features Of the annual bench show or
the Westminster Kennel Club. which opens in Madl-
son Square Garden to-day, will be a contest for
prizes between the dogs recently added to the po-
lice force The team will be in the Garden on
Thursday night at o'clock, under the charge of
Lieutenant Wakefield and. as the interest in these
dogs has marked. it is expected that the place
will be filed with those who have been unable to
go to the out of the way places where the animals
have been worked.
The big ring in the Garden will be specially pre-
pared for the test. patrol box will be built. and
the dogs will be called upon go through all their
stunts. There Will be three prizes and each dog
will be worked separately. The new thief catchers
will therefore have opportunity TO show their
ability. but they will be under disadvantage,
for they have been worked Jnder the electric
light and 1t will be a hard test.
Working in the open is much easier, as has hsen
in the jumping contests at the horse show, 1t
being three days before horses strike their
gait. The programme for the dogs will be as fol-
lows: Protecting patrolmen being attacked; l.; at
tacking person when ordered by patrolmen in
charge of dogs; answering police whistle and COM

SOME HOPE FOR GAMES.
Earlier Date Nay Be Suggested for
international Meet.

Cambridge England Feb. 1o.-Some members Of
the Cambridge University Athletic Association. in
Guiding L. H. Ryle president. of the opinion
that the British universities should accept the
challenge sent by the Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletes of America for an International
track and field athletic meeting between teams
representing the colleges and universities of the
United States and those of Great Britain following
the Olympic games this year and they are making
an effort TO bring about meeting this summer
Oddly enough. the presidents of both the Oxford
and the Cambridge clubs, who students are in
favor of accepting the American challenge with
some notifications while the honorary treasurers
OF the clubs. who professors. think that the
obstacles insurrnountabe. Mr. Ryle said to-day.
AS has been said before. II is most difficult for
us TO keep our teams together until July the
university athletes go out of training in March
few Of them, however. will keep in condition for
the Olympic games and II might be possible to
make up team. It would do. however to
wait until after the Olympic games as the Ameri-
cans suggest. for the people then would tired OF
athletics and could get anybody 10 attend
] suggest that instead the universities have their
contests the first week in July the Queens Club
after which the men could take part in the Ovmpic
games If they desire. i had another idea but I
have been informed that the Olympic Associa tioa
would not agree 10 It this that the Ovnapic
games be opened with interuniversity sports sug-
ges that the challenge be accepted if the Americans
to change the date 10 the first week in
July"
Mr.. Ryle is confident Of carrying this propn-
sal with the treasrrers opposed 0 him but the
question Will be- discussed meeting TO be
called 10 discuss the decision reached by the OK
