Society was not as well represented as usual, owing to the inclement weather, but sonte of more enthusiastic members who had exhibits were seen about the judging rings. What was a unique sight was the nastily constructed tent under which the greater part of the judging was done. In a short time the tent was very poor protection, and the dog lovers and the menbers of the fashionable society colonies who braved the storm sheltered themselves under umbrellas. The greater part of the judging was done centered yesterday, in and the all the champion interest dog was and bitch class. The president of the association, Miss Anna Sands, offered a cup for the best dog in the show, and the vice president, Mrs.

H. M. Harriman, also offered a cup for the best exhibit of opposite sex to the winner of the Presi- The president's award is given to the best exhibit of the show, and the contest is always very keen for first honors in the class. The award in this class was made to Champion Dreamwold, from the Dreamweld Farm of Thomas W. a Lawson, the Boston financier.

The kennels are located at Egypt, Mass. The winner of the champion honors is bulldog, and while in Tuesday's contest in his own class he swept all before him, it was not expected that he would walk off with the championship honors against such old-time winners as Mrs. Tyler Morse's Champion Brentwood and Champion Midnight. All the contestants were champions of record, and Champion Orchard Snow Storm took second place. He is a poodle from the Vickery Kennels.

The same kenenls took third place also with a wire fox terrier called Vickery Fast Freight. The surprise in the contest was the fact that Brentwood Hero, the chama pion of past shows, a rare old English sheepdog, was relegated to fourth place. In the contest for the champion bitch of the show for the Vice Presidents Cup, Vickery Kennels was the winner, taking first place. Vickery Kennels Champion Soubrette, an airedale terrier, was declared the victor and was awarded the blue ribbon. Mrs.

Tyler Morse, however, a was given A second ribbon, with her old English sheepdog Slumber, a champion, with a past record. This was also a surprise, as the dog fanciers had predicted that Slumber was invincible. KenneIon Kennels, with Champion Nellie Waters, a Great Dane, was awarded third prize. Vickery Kennels Win Many Firsts. While the judging in all the claases was very interesting, the chief interest centered about the specialty classes, and Vickery Kennels of Evanston, 111., had a monopoly of most of the firsts.

June 5--A complaint has been lodged with the officials of the United States Light House Department against the recently installed bell buoy Sands Point, across Hempstead Harbor from here.

The offa bell on the buoy is of such a loud tone and rings so incessantly that it disturbs the rest of the residents at night and proves annoying during the day. It is especially annoying to those living along the shore in the Red Spring colony. Shortly after the buoy was placed there as a guide to navigation the ringing of the bell attracted much attention here, for it was thought that it was the fire alarm at Port Washington and that there was a big fire in that village. The matter has been taken up now with the inspectors of the Light House Department and they have promised to give the buoy their attention. "We would be glad to consider the feelings of the people of Glen Cove," said the inspector, at his To office in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, today, "but we have also to consider the maritime people for whose benefit the bell buoy was placed there.

We will try to take care of the interests of both sides in this instance and if it is possible the tone of the bell will be softened." FORESTERS HALL ON FIRE Prompt Action Prevents Spread of Flames in Business Center. Southampton, June 5-Fire broke out in Foresters Hall, over C. Elmer Smith's carpenter shop, on Monument Square, yesterday, and a catastrophe to the business portion of the village only averted by the fact that. it was the middle of the day and there was plenty of help promptly on hand and an abundance of water under pressure. The building, which is situated directly opposite the fire headquarters, was formerly the old Southampton Academy, where many of the most prominent men of Suffolk County of the last generation were educated, but when the Southampton High School was established the Academy fell into disuse, its site was acquired by the library trustees for the erection of that institution and the building moved to Monument Square.

All the morning yesterday the carpenters, working in the shop below, smelled smoke, but attributed it to the asphalt which had been placed upon the highways near there. Toward noon people in the street saw flames coming from the kitchen windows, and the fire, which was just gaining headway, was put out after a hard fight. The damage to the building will not exceed $1,000, but the deluge of water, which poured down into the carpenter shop below, worked havoe there to the elecirical machinery, tools and a lot of specially selected lumber of considerable value, besides the damage done to the plans, account books and furniture in the office which occupies the front of the building. Other property endangered by the fire was the Liberty Hotel, Fordham's paint store. Edwards' livery stable and several dwelling houses, besides all the business places on that street extending to Mr.

Parrish's Art Museum and the Library Building. A strong wind was blowing at the time, which would have rapidly spread the fire if it had not been brought under control promptly. DINNER FOR ENGINEER LADEW. People Gratifled at His Interest in Three-Mile Harbor Widening. East Hampton, L.

PROSTRATE FOR HALF HOUR. Remanded in Custody of Sheriff Until Sentenced -Clifford's Trial Will Begin Next Monday.

(Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 5-Richard MIller, one of the former jailors of the Nassau County Jail, who has been on trial since last Monday for being a participant in the Nassau County Jail orgies last December, collapsed when the jury found him guilty last night. The jury had been out since 1 o'clock and there were rumors about the courthouse of a disagreement. It was after 10 o'clock when the jury fled in and Miller was requested by Clerk Samuel S. Ransome to face the men who had his fate in their hands.

Foreman Clark, in almost a whisper, reported the verdict of guilty with a strong recommendation for mercy. Miller was then called to the bar and his pedigree was taken. He said that he was 43 years of age and when he was asked his occupation he threw up his hands and fell, in a dead faint across the press table. All attempts to revive him were futile and finally Dr. F.

F. Schirck of Mineola was summoned and after halt an hour's work Miller was revived. Justice Kelby, who presided, was visibly affected and after Miller was revived remanded him in the custody of the sheriff until next Monday, when his full pedigree will be taken. It will then be determined as to the time when his sentence will be pronounced. In discharging the jury Justice Kelby said that he realized their unpleasant duty and he added that it was now his unpleasant task to perform his duty.

He also said that he will heed their recommendation for mercy. After the jury retired to deliberate on the case they came in twice for instructions, and it was this that gave rise to the rumor that there was to be a disagreement. Miller resides in Baldwin and has children. His wife has remained loyal to him and was at his side throughout the trial. The sensational stories of the happenings at the jail resulted in the investigations by the Nassau County Grand Jury and Miller, William Clifford, Miles Rhodes, Winfield S.

Box, John Conrad, the jailors, were indicted. Ralph N. Jacoby, an inmate of the county prison, was also indicted. He and Conrad testified for the prosecution at the Miller trial. The trial of William Clifford will be begun next Monday.

District Attorney Lewis J. Smith, who prosecuted the case, will insist upon the immediate trial of the other men. who were indicted. Miller was represented by Harry P. Keith and Neil H.

Me Wagstaff and his bride will pass of the summer at the house of and Mrs. Cumnock, In Seabright, In the autumn they will live in will be ready in September. A notable feature of the course is that it includes two distinct nine-hole courses, one lying on each side of the Motor Parkway, and each beginning and ending at the clubhouse.

The land west of the parkway is rather rolling, while that on the east side is comparatively level SO that the two provide an eighteen -hole course of over 6,000 yards with a pleasing variety of ground. The two courses are connected by a passage under the parkway between the rinth hole and tenth tee---north of the clubhouse and about halfway up the course, a bridge has also been built over the parkway. There will be other out door diversions besides golf. Tennis courts are being installed and later there will be other sports. The clubhouse is a fine type of oldfashioned country home, has been made over into a very pleasant clubhouse.

It stands on an elevation over the surrounding land and about seven acres of lawn lie on all sides dotted with handsome shade trees. Richard Turner is president of the club. George H. Lowden is secretary and Hugh E. O' Reilly is treasurer.

Others on the board of governors are Eugene Van Schaick, Wilson B. Brice, George Woolston and Fred W. Westlake. The property is held by the Wheatley Hills Holding Company, of which the directors are Richard W. Turner, Hugh E.

O' Reilly, Fred Westlake, Wilson B. Brice, Donald McKellar, Eugene Van Schaick, and George Lowden. It is proposed to limit the membership to 300 and it is expected that the list will fill rapidly, The accessibility of the course, both by the Long Island Railroad and by automobile route from Brooklyn and Manhattan, make it especially popular.
