Boxing Matches.

Pugilistic exhibitions seem to be
growing in popularity. There were
5000 persons present to witness one at
the American Institute Rink in New
York on Monday evening, between
Mike Cleary, Of Philadelphia, and a
young man named Mitchell, from Eng.
land, who had the honor of knocking
" Tug Wilson out and beating other
bruiscrs in London Although Mitchell
looked like Il boy he vanqnished Cleary
with ease, and it is supposed that he
will prove a match for sullivan.
1t is said that .)em Mace, II. A. Slade,
d. l.. Sullivan, as well as n squad u
police to preserve order, were among
the company. Exhibitions Of this
kind are degree above dog fighting
and rat killing, but the tendency Is
equally as great toward brutality and
immortality. 1t is unfortunate that
some equally attractive exhibitions can
not be invented that will prove instruc.
tive and have il tendency to make those
who witness them better men and better
citizens.

Mr.. BaEgh did not agree with Mr..

the incoming Council, the same argu-
ment would hold good in the election of

City Solicitor Turner, who had been

stricken out, as it was thought that
there was too much responsibility to be
assumed by members of Council for the
money received.
The amendments relating TO the po-
lice force were so fixed as to not include

The question of salaries was then dis
cussed, Mr.. Bates taking part III the
