A city wharf, about 5Ox6O feet, for the accommodation of the new town site, will be constructed at the corner of E and First streets.
 A large pump will be installed east of F street to pump water for the new townsite. A large storage tank will be placed on c street, between Fourth and Fifth streets. A pipe line from this tank will extend from c to K streets with stand pipe at each street corner.

Indeed, great activity is already displayed on the new townsite, and some buildings and residences are already In evi- dence. But it will take a few days to clear the lots, in most cases, prepara- tory to building.

or the first three dave.
A squad OF pitchers. composed Of
GLASS. Gipe. Flanagan and Erickson.
warmed UP together and uncovered more
speed than has been seen since the prep
aration began. They worked up to speed
gradually and then didn't stay at il
long. Good judgment in making haste
slowly IN getting into condition has
been shown by most Of the youngsters
in camp and such soreness as there is

Young Mr. Holloway. who is = can

SHOW COMES TO END: PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

The judging OF the packs OF ~foxhounds
and beagles marshalled into the ring
by masters and servants in full hunting
regalia attracted many spectators to the
Westminster Kennel club show in Mad
ison Square Garden yesterday. Hound
Day as ii is called, brought the show
to a close after four days of continued
success. a success that hardly was ex-
pected bocau ~ the conditions pro-
duced by the European war.
Before the work of JudginG the hi mt
ing packs began a few privileged spec
tators were seated within the enclosure
and the less favored ones gathered along
the fence surrounding the ring and in
the galleries overlooking the whole
scene. -Four packs were entered In the
foNhound class. just enough to fill the
four pens in the corners of the enclos-
ures. Each pack was composed OF five
couples and was attended by two men
in hunting livery.
Charles Mcneil. an Englishman and
former master of the Grafton Fox
hounds. was the judge to whom was
entrusted tho task Of selecting the hest
pack. Uniformity OF height. color. con-
troll and general excellence were the
main points to be considered. and after
careful elaboration Mr.. Mcneil awarded
first place to the dog pack OF the Mid
dleseX Hunt in charge of A. Henry Hig-
ginson. the NJ. +. II. 4 bitch pack from
the same hunt shown by the huntsinan
c. Morris received the second prize.
The other two packs which competed
were that Of the Cheshire Hunt in charge
of T.. X. C~otcsworth and Major Wads-
worth's pack under the care OF George
Poole. huntsmsn.
In the beagle class. judged by pr. L.
Lester Jones. the Somcrsetshire Rearles
won. defeating Raymond Belmont's Bel
ray BeaClcs. shown by Mr.. Belmont In
person. The award did not satisfy all
Of the spectators. az many friends OF
the Be,ray pack seemed sure that their
favorites were the better. The criti-
cism of tho award was based on the
ground that Mr.. Belmont's dogs were the
more level looking lot.
A change In the usual methods Of
Judging was made in the case az the In
divldual foNhound classes in the morn
ing. and the English system was used.
