The intention, however, is to make the event otherwise bigger and better than ever. For the main race and the freight race the dog owners are going in for the sport of the thing in fine spirit and it is likely that there will be more than the usâ€" ual number of entries despite the reâ€" duction of prize money. At this time it seems apparent that sufficient finâ€" ances could not be collected to ward rant prizes equal to last year. Next year, however, it is intended to start early and make the event one of outâ€" standing interest and importance in eVery way. In the main race the prizes, in addition to the cups, etc., will be $100.00, $75.00, and $50.00. For the Frexght Race the Prizes are $75.00, $50.00 «@and _ $25.00.

In this case one man was sentenced at Cochrane to a six months‘ term. The Appeligte Court granted his appeal and he will be released after serving about half the term imposed. â€" The judgments in the other two cases,â€" John Maltese and the women, of the house,â€"were upheld, and they will have to serve out their terms, \Ihltese being sentenced to three vears.
