EAGLE MASQUERADE
 LARGELY ATTENDED

The Eagle masquerade ball on Sat urday nIght, ln spIte of the blizzard, was attended by about 450 people. Of these about I25 were masked and per- formed after the manner or maskers "InIe oZo spectators Sd. three hours Ind watched the proceedings.
 Most Of ths meskers were late n appearing cn the floor and the spec ,alors had long wait but when the lun dId commence Il WAS worth watt ,ng tor. Nearly all the customary cus:omes were present and consld- eIitDIe number or ongInai charac.ers.

 The most perfect piece of acting was by the sunragette when she made her speech in panlomine in the cen- ter of the hall. The most fun was made by the Italian and his monk. he musical Rube who joined the orchestra with his toy trombone and so convulsed the musicians that they were nearly thrown out of their stride; Der Kapitan and Ma; the swell coon, and the troubadours with their side show.
 The judges were: Chairman, Judge Tucker; judges of gentlemen's cos- tunes, Mrs. Darling, Mrs. Pollster. and Mrs. Kittleson; of ladies' cos- tunes. Messrs. Downing, Polister and Lieut. Perrine.

HORSE RAGING IN
SPAIN WORRIES
BULL FIGHTERS

SAN SEBASTIAN. suain --Tsnll
fighters and their partizans look ask.
anee al a luxurious new establishment
Just completed here. where thoroneh-
bred horses win soon begin racing on
scale hitherto unknown In Spain.
The race course has all modern I'M
provements and with grandstands that
rival those Of Longchamps and Au-
tell near Paris. Alfonso XIII has not
only sanctioned the enterprise but has
given It vogue by acquiring a stable
OF thoroughbreds himself.
The more emotional and more con-
sentative see IN the kings encourages
ment OF horse racing the prelude 10 a
radical step in the undermining OF
Spain-the eventual abandonment OF
the bull fight out of regard for the
sentiments Of visitors from countries
which II Is not looked upon as sport.
Others see in il simply timely and
enterprising project in the Spanish
effort to encourage touring on the
peninsula.
Spain has shown remarkable
burst OF energy since the war began
with King Alfonso setting the exam
pie. He has accorded special facili-
ties to companies and capitalists for
the building of hotels at favorable
points, such as Seville, Cadiz and Alge-
ciras
The city Of barcelona is organizing
a systematic movement with view
to attracting American visitors to that
part OF the Mediterranean coast. FL
nancial aid to hotels and other en-
couragement to promoters of improve.
ments in coast resorts are to be Civ
en-, and 1t is intended to do everything
necessary to create q popular winter
retreat on the Spanish coast from
where cruises may be made to the
Balearic islands.
The extension of horse racing here
tofore absolutely neglected in Spain
is part Of this movement and does
not at all mean that bull fighting viii
be superseded by It. The national
sport win go on as long as there are
crowds to witness it, probably. 1t all
depends on what taste the Spaniards
develop for the horses.
The idea is to profit from the paral.
ysis OF racing IN France and Belgium
to draw to SPANS great sea resort the
big-spending owners Of thoroughbreds
and the free livers that follow racing
wherever It is.
A $4,000 stake for the opening day
indicates the earnestness Of the enter.
PRISE
Among the stables represented are
three American OWNERS, WI X. Wander
bilt with 80 Of the so horses he has in
training at Saint Louis de Poissy. JEFF

same number, and T. P. Thorne with

REVIVED AGAIN
Local Fanciers Interested in
Movement to Show Their
BI0oded CANNES

Nearly year ago the plan to hold
a dog show was suggested, but until
recently there has been but little in
terest shown in the movement. Lo.
cal dog fanciers are beginning to
realize that the movement would be
a good one and the old plan has been
revived and suggestions added which
may mean the reawakening of the
movement started many months ago
There are a number of blooded
CANNES in the city, and with renewed
interest 1t is thought that many would
import good stock from the mainland
Among the dog fanciers in the city
who would be interested in the move
ment are L. @. Ables, c.. w. c. Deer.
ing, Riley H. Allen, ]. F. Ness, DR.. L.
E. Case. Paddy Ryan and Dr.. w. T..

Taking everything into considera-
ton. there are enough blooded CANNES
in the city now for an exhibition, and
il one show could be staged it is Ger.
tain that the next would bring out
much improvement in the stock. Homo
lulu flanders are going ahead with
the movement and expect to stage a
show in the near future.

NEW RECORD FOR
BASEBALL MADE
BY A. |. Teams
Seven Clubs Have Percentage
of More than 500; Greatest
Race in History

ST. Louis and Washington have an
average of sos per cent up to and
including the games of Tuesday. This
creates a new record in baseball. as
there are seven teams in the Ameri-
can League having an average of 500
per cent.
In addition to the record It must
be added that not in years has race
been so close, as only seven games
separate Boston in first place and st.
Louis and washington in sixth and
seventh places. One year three teams
fought for the pennant until the last
series, Detroit winning out over
Cleveland and Chicago, but that sea
son these three teams were far in the
lead OF the others.
In the remaining games Of this
series, today and tomorrow, the De
troit Tigers viii have the edge, as
they are meeting Philadelphia, while
Boston and Chicago will be fighting
for first place. Cleveland and New
York win battle and the winner should
have an excellent chance Of remaining
in the fight. ST. Louis and Washing
ton viii play two games. two losses to
one club sending them down below
the 500 mark.

LES DARCY WHIPPED
DAVE SMITH WITHOUT
EVEN TURNING A HAIR

Details of the boxing contest be-
tween Les Darcy and Dave Smith
show that the Australian champion
had the better of matters all the way
through the fight and that when
Smith was knocked out in the twelfth
round Darcy had not turned hair.
Smiths cleverness kept him en- his
feet and enabled him to put up a
good semblance of fight after the
spectators realized that the bout
would not go to the S0-round limit.
Darcy completed his task in the
twelfth with a couple of right jolts on
the chin. Smith would have fallen
heavily on his face had not Darcy
broken the fall Ky grasping his op-
ponent's arm. The bell sounded the
end of the round as the referee said
"out," but the official awarded the
decision to Darcy, as Smith was plain
~ unable to continue.
Smith weighed in at 1872 pounds
and Darcy at 100, which was a sur
prise to the spectators, as each man
expected to weigh a couple of pounds
more.
