Keep your eye on the stupid boy, the

time. He wakes up. Nearly every

haps it is true that the shock does not

WHEN THE PETS SUFFER.

A large gray cat leaped to death
from a thirteenth-story window OF
New York hotel, and a telegram gives
the explanation that the animal COM
mitted suicide in this way because its
mistress had sailed for Europe, leav-
ing it behind. Whether the cat COM
mitted suicide or not is immaterial,
but the incident does serve a purpose
in calling attention to pathetic sioe
of the vacation season.
In thousands of homes all over the
country there are household pets
such as dogs and cats and birds. and
as many of these homes are closed
during the summer, or at least for
several weeks, the pets are in most in
stances left to shift for themselves
For the sake of the songs there are
neighbors who Will take charge of the
canaries during the absence of their
owners but for the dogs and the cats
there are. as a rule only harsh words
and buffetings from the reighbors, and
sticks and stones from the urchins OF
the community, and the poor Great
ures, homeless. friendless and abused,
are indeed objects of pity 1t would be
much more humane for the owners OF
these pets to put them to death before
going away on long vacation trips, in
stead of leaving them to their fate, but
the practice of deserving them goes on
year after year.-Pittsburg Chronicle

HOLD REGATTA
ON SATURDAY
Yacht Club Has All
the Plans Complete.

The postponed regatta which was to
have been held under the auspices of
the Bentley Yacht Club last Saturday
will be held this Saturday. The races
conflicted last week with the dory
races and the owners of the boats did
not know about the arrangements
which had been made, consequently the
regatta had to be called off.
1t is now announced that the regatta
will be held this week and many local
boats will enter. There viii be six
events. These are: the open and cabin
launch race, the speed and semi-speed
race, the slow race and the open dory
race. The prizes fir the winners will
be cups and penants.
Competition is becoming keen in boat
racing in this vicinity especially in
dory racing and many of the dory own
ers who sail for the clubs in the Rari-
tan Bay Dory Association will enter
their boats this week at Tottenville.
The speed race is expected to be one
of the best seen in these waters for
some time and boat owners who have
speed launches are trying out their
craft this week to get them into trim
for the meet on Saturday.

Long Acre A. c. Saturday
Night Both Known Here.


bers of the Long Acre Athletic Club
are In for a treat Saturday night, on
which occasion young shugro, the
clever Jersey featherweight, who is
considered by fstic experts to be the
logical successor Of frankie Burns,
has been secured by Manager Billy
Neumann to meet the clever and
hard hitting long Acres protege,
Johnny Dundee.
Both boys are training faithfully
for this bout, as the winner will be
matched with Packey Hommey at
this club within two weeks. Dundee
is putting the finishing touches to
his work at Far Rockaway and has
Young REILLY assisting him. Shugro
is at Rockaway and has frankie
Burns. the champion, working with
him.
The boys have agreed to weigh in
at 11S pounds at 9 O'Clock al the
club house. The dues are to remain
the same. The Jersey members can
come to within two minutes walk
of the club house, as the tube runs
to Twenty-eighth street; the same
for the Newark members by way of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Applica-
lions can be received at the frankie
Burns Club House, at Jersey City, or
at the Long Acre Club Saturday
night, as the Board of Directors will
be in session to receive all applicants
up to 10 P. M.
