Lake Champlain's Monument.
- The monument to commemorate the
discovery of Lake Champlaln by Sam

likely to be erected on Split Rock
point, says a Burlington (Vt) dispatch,
The lake at that point is only about
half a mile wide, but just to the north
gradually broadens to its greatest
width, fourteen miles. Those who fa
vor the Split Rock site point out the
fact that the monument. If erected
there, would be in full view of all
craft traversing the lake north or
south and , that a light placed at the
top of the shaft would be visible for
more than fifty miles In both direc

CANINE MARATHON RACE.

.'. One . 'of the i novel feature of : the
liueenslioro bridge carnival in New
iork. during the -week of June 12-19
will Le a 'ciiiiue Marathon race. This
is the first time that this will be tried
and will be open to trained dogs onfy.
The affair will be under the direction
of Philo G. Andersen,, the well known
dog .fancier of Union. 'Course, ' N:; Y.
The race will be from the Manhattan
end of the Queensboro bridge to some
point on the Hoffinan boulevard near
Gleudale, N. Y: The lists are open to
field dogs and hounds. There will be
several contests for trained dogs.
There will be also a race for the booby
prize by dogs not thoroughly trained.
The dogs will have blankets with
numbers so that they can be distin
guished in the race. At first the com
mittee Was doubtful about the possi
bility of carrying on such a race, but
several experts on dogs have satisfied
it that the thing can be accomplished.
In speaking of the matter Mr. Ander
sen said: 1 :
"Dogs can be trained to race as well
as horses, and more so, because they
do not need any jockeying. Some of
the most exciting coursing events of
this kind have been held right on Long
Island, and at one time a good deal of
moaey has been put up on the contest
ants. It will be great sports to see
from 100 to 130 dogs- go streaking
across the big bridge.
"The races can be made more excit
ing by interspersing them with hurdle
and other obstructions. To see these
dogs leaping fences and ropes would
add to the excitement and novelty of
the affair. This race will Interest the
owners of all thoroughbreds and espe
cially the owners of field dogs.
"I have sent notices to about 350
owners, and all of them have signified
their willingness to enter the races. It
will be a question of selection. Each
race should be Jimitedto about fifty
dog's at the maximum. If there are
more than that number the dogs are
apt to run in packs, and that would
spoil the race. Owners of dogs as far
west as Los ' Angeles have signified
their intention " of entering their animals."-
