blue checked overalls, with a colored blouse, in which 
livery many were about, who opened the coop door, and 
showed both how to open and close it. 
''A little later the pow^erful and peculiar exhibit had 
moved the iron cage, unforesightedly not fastened at the 
bottom, along and partly beyond the platform whereon it 
stood, making an aperture sufficient for its escape. Then 
he was of¥. There was a quick but bootless pursuit by the 
attendants in pack, with many others, with hue and cry. 
Though often spied in the secrecies between the roof 
rafters and sub-cellar of the vast garden, Zenda was 
never recovered, 
"Whether his raatitioaptvire was impracticable, because 
he was strenuously moved to solitude by jealousy or any 
other of the impulses delicately suggested by Allen, J., in 
his lettered and sympathetic opinion (22 Barb., S06) 
anent the contentions of and over the dogs of Oneida 
county, or because ferm ■natur<s, as was held (47 Hun., 
366) to be bivalve, though destitute of locomotivity, in an 
oyster bed litigation, in an adjoining judicial department, 
is not stated. The defendant contends that it was relieved 
from liability for such loss because the animal was re- 
■ ceived at 'owner's risk.' 
"But that proviso in the entrance blank, read with the 
regulations, also prepared and furnished by the Associa- 
tion, caused the owner to assume only the risk arising 
"from ordinary dangers not to be prevented by reasona- 
ble and ordinary care on the part of the show company. 
It left the latter liable for occurrences which might be 
avoided, with ordinary care and prudence. 
"It still left to the exhibitor a right to anticipate that 
the coops provided, and in which, within the regulations, 
exhibits could only be shown, would be suitable for their 
purpose and such as were likely to enable the defendant 
to carry out its undertaking. Besides, the constructive 
caption of the cat at the outset was lucrandi anumo, so 
far as the corporation had a mind. 
"It was delivered on the invitation of the defendant, 
which charged and received a payment for the entry and 
for the coop. 'Then it was,' to take again from Massa- 
chusetts, without plagiary, 'locatum and not depositum' 
and the defendant was liable for want of ordinarj' care. 
The learned Justice of the Municipal Court, before whom 
the parties appeared and introduced their evidence, found 
for the plaintifif, and cast the defendant in damages of 
$50. He was right."

Genesee to Sail for Canada Cup. 
The judges of the Chicago Y. C. have decided to select 
Genesee, owned by Charles Van Voorhis, of the Rochester 
Y. C. to represent the Chicago Y, C. as challenging party 
in the races for the Canada cup to be held at Toronto on 
Aug. 21. This decision was reached on July 27, when 
Prairie beat Briar, the other candidate for selection as 
challenger, in a race over the Chicago Y. C.'s eight- mile 
course. While the race was not a satisfactory trial of 
Briar, Mr. Geo. R. Peare, her owner, has decided to 
withdraw as a candidate, owing to the lack of condition 
of the boat. 
The race on July 27 between Prairie and Briar was to 
decide whether Briar was fit to contest with Genesee for 
the honor of representing the United States in the com- 
ing races for the Canada cup. Prairie's clubtopsail was 
faulty, and Charles Thorne, her owner, requested Peare to 
sail with working topsails, but as Briar's working topsail 
was also unfit for use it was decided to sail the race 
under jib and mainsail only._ Briar crossed the line forty- 
four seconds ahead of her rival, but at the half-way mark 
Prairie was over three miijutes ahead. Prairie gained 
The Canada Cup. 
The first meeting of the three Toronto 3S-footers, Mc- 
Leod, Payne and Toronto, took place on July 22. The 
new Payne yacht, named after her designer, had just 
arrived from Oakville, where she was launched a short 
time before, and was thus at a disadvantage with the 
others, which had been under way for several weeks. The 
wind was light S.E., with a roll to the sea. Toronto was 
steered by J. Wilton Morse; Payne by Fred Turner, and 
McLeod by ./Emilius Jarvis. The start was made at 3 
P. M.. McLeod being over the line and compelled to re- 
cross, with a handicap of im. 28s. Payne took the lead on 
the wind, but McLeod passed Toronto and would have 
caught Payne, but she mistook a mark of the Queen 
City for her own mark, and lost a little time over the 
error At the next mark Payne overstood and went to 
third place, McLeod being first. The first round was 
timed : 
McLeod .,.3 33 15 Payne 3 37 42 
Toronto 3 34 10 
On the second round Payne did good work in the sea 
and light wind, but failed to catch Toronto. The final 
times were: 
McLeod 5 19 25 Payne 5 36 00 
Toronto ; 5 35 09 
Toronto carried away her large jib and had to set a 
smaller one, to her disadvantage. 
On the same day the two Hamilton boats, Myrtle and 
Hamilton, met for the sixth time, Hamilton under her 
proper rig scoring her second win. The times were : 
35ft. Class— Start, 2:35. 
Finish. Elapsed. 
Hamilton 5 10 17 2 35 17 
Myrtle 5 14 45 2 39 45 
The third Hamilton yacht, designed by Jas. Wefr, was 
afloat, but not yet rigged. 
Briar, the last of the Chicago yachts, was successfully 
launched on Jul y 22.
