The Boston Boxing Club. an organizA,
ton composed Of gentlemen, gave an open
ing entertainment in their ~newlyfurnished
room at the South End on Friday evening.
Although invitations were sent to the press,
it was the desire of the members of the
club that as the meetings that took place
were with six-ounce gloves and under the
rules recently devised BY d. q. Blanchard,
ECO, which prevents any dangerous or dam
aging results to any contestant, no mention
would be made of the affair. Jake Kihain
was selected to superiutend the meeting
and introduced young Green of the West
End and Tug Collins. The latter, being the
heavier man, had rather the best of the three
rounds. George Smith, Of Boston, and jim
my Doherty, of Cambridge, heavy weights,
faced each other for three rounds, and gave
a very clever and gentlemsnly set.to. neither
mar being injured in the least, notwith-
standing a report in a contemporary to the
effect that Smiths Jaw was broken. Jimmy
Hurst and Johnny Murphy were next intro
duced, and the clever manner in which the
former handled himself was enjoyed By every
one present.
The final affair was q six,round contest
for points, between Johnnie Murphy, a
bright little Charlestown lad, and Jack Viii

tribe warmer than the previous one, the
Britisher leading off with spirit. Murphy

ton from It's outset. At its opening the
Charlestown lad led with his left, catching
Williams on the face and nearly knocking
him of his feet. Williams was a nonplussed
youngsier from this stage to the close O. the
battle, and Murphy got all over him. recaiy-
ing few, if any blows in return. AT the
close of the affair neither man was harmed,
but on points Jake Kilrain decided that
Murphy wa the better boxer, in which de-
cision the entire audience concurred. The
spectators dispersed well pleased with the
entertainment provided, and a number
of them expressed the hope that more shows,
conducted in the same harmless and gentle
manly way, would be soon arranged.

The New Postal Delivery System.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-It appears that the
circular containing instructions to postmasters
at special delivery Offices, recently sent out by
the Postmaster general, is not generally under
stood. a prominent official of the Postofice
Department, who assisted in the preparation of
the circular. was yesterday asked the question
'if ten cents and the postage added would
insure the delivery, under the special stamp act,
of such packages as the express companies now
carry. And, also. can merchandise be sent
through the mail with the special stamp
attached as cheaply as by express?" The official
replied that the third, fourth, fifth and sixth
sections of the act making appropriations for
the postal service for the current fiscal year,
which provide for the special delivery stamps,
relate only to letters, and the intent of the law
is only to provide for the special or immediate
delivery of first class matter. Persons may put
up merchandise, not to exceed four pounds,
as first-class matter, and it would undoubtedly
be specially delivered, but it would probably
cost the sender more to send it by mail
than by express, especially if the distance is
short.
Third and fourth class matter can be sent long
distances more cheaply by mail thar by express,
because the mail rates are the same all over the
United States. while the express rates are regu-
lated by the distance to be travelled. 1t is said
that even now large quantities of newspapers can
be sent from New York to Washington cheaper
by express than by the reduced newspaper rate.

General Grants Memoirs.

I. Q. Crawford, In New York World.
Mr.. Dawson, the old secretary of General
Grant, whom saw to-day. says that the work of
copying the manuscript of the second volume of
Grants Memoirs was finished yesterday. All OF
the original manuscript of both books has been
copied. Col Fred Grant will deposit the original
manuscript with the Safe Deposit Company in
New York before he goes West. Mr.. Dawson
says that the first volume will be out by the LIST
of September and the second volume by the lst
of next March. He says that Col. Grant realizes
the Importance of getting out the book as quickly
as possible, but it will be impossible for the
publishers to put the book upon the market
before the time named, on account of the time
required for the binding. If all the binderies in
New York were employed it would not be
possible to hasten the publication of the large
edition of this book very much beyond the time
above indicated. The first volume is printed and
stitched together, but not yet bound.
