while Tom Shields went behind his protege
Rose.
Rose won the toss and ai.ose Cumber-

as rests between falls. The Scotchman
won the first bout easily. He took strong
backhold and lifted Butler high in the ali

The next bout was collar-and- elbow.
Rose appeared stiff and kept back so far
that Butler could not get at him. After
sparring moment Butler caught an inef-
fectiye cross toe and in the next instant
repeated the maneuver, but Rose was too
far away. Rose then took switch trip,
but to no purpose. Then, after Butler had
tried another cross toe, took Enee tack.

then said he was hurt and quit. The ref

money" as it was stated. J. f. Dormer
volunteered to give a Graceo-Roman
exhibition with Butler. Two straight
falls were won by Butler, but the eXhi-

NOTES.
The Thistle curling club played prac-
tice game at Central park yesterday.
Colonel Mclaughlin will return at once
to Detroit and go into training to meet
Charles Moth.

leave for Fargo on Wednesday on an exhi-
bition tour of the Northwest.
Mcguire the special" still has blood in
hiseye. by gracious! but I'd like to get a
hold of Butler" he exclaimed yesterday.
I'll give him SIS if he throws me-"
The heavyweight struggle at the Theatre
Comique tonight is exciting considerable
comment. Charles Moth will endeavor to
win five straight falls from Tom Shields in
an hour and a-half, but will be allowed five
minutes rest between each bout. The
match is for 500 side, and the money is
up. Betting is about even.
On their trip to the various cities of the
Northwest, Patsey Cardiff and Charles
Moth will post money to meet any
athlete in their respective styles. Cardiff
will offer any men 500 to stand in front of
him four 3-minute rounds, and Charles
Moth will give any man 500 if he fails to
win five Greco- Roman falls in an hour-and.

Once more the world hears of a pre-
iect to establish stations in the Allan
tic where ships could stop, either to
take in stores or TO report by telegraph
to their owners, or 10 receive later or
ders as to destination. No one will
contest the usefulness of such halting
places: the main question is whether
they would pay. Considerable diff
Guilty might be experienced, ne imag-
Use. Ia anchoring at such enormous
depths, while it would require i'm
mensely strong vessels TO stand the
blows Of the great Atlantic pillows
All this could be managed, however,
nor would there be much trouble IN
inducing sailors TO man the station
ships. But the outlay under one head
and another would needs be very
large, and we doubt whether the re-
ceists would ever pay fair rate OF IN
terest. Perhaps some profit might be
made during the summer months by
allowing invalids to put up at the sta
tons. They would be sure to get an
abundance Of ozone and other whole
some products of the briny ocean,
while as there would be no poStoffice,
no daily papers, no political speechi-
flying. and no organ grinders, their
minds would be at peace. If the pre-
moters of the new undertaking think
well of the suggestion they cannot do
better than secure the Great Eastern,
which has just found purchaser, for
their principal oceanic sanitarium.
AS Brunel's gigantic ship is about the
size of Heligoland, there would be
plenty of elbow room Tor visitors,
even if they GENE IN their thous-

ty in anchoring the huge craft, but
that, as politicians say when they
wish to get over a fatal difficulty, is

Glider he simply observes: "Of Mr..

Steadman was writing in The Century,
of which Mr. Glider is the editor, and
the formers silence in regard to the
