EATON AVENUE GRADING.
A Brief Discussion by the stress
COmmitIee--NO Hay Scales.

Aid. johnson, Long, Petseh, Starkey,
Dowlan and Bryant attended the meeting
OF the committee on streets at the city coun-
ell last evening. AS the Eaton avenue
grading was expected TO be under consider
alton, quite good sized delegation from
the Sixth ward was present, but they were
disappointed, as the matter was disposed of
for the time being in a way that was unex-
pected. As soon as the subject was taken
up Mr.. Nilgus stated that he represented
over 500 feet on that street and he would
Ike to have some person who was i'm favor
of the proposed improvement to make
statement as to what the reasons were fol
asking for it. lie wanted to know what
advantages were to come from such an ex-
pensive piece of work. Ex-Aid. st. Peter
gave the reasons, which in substance. were
that the ward needed just such an avenue
as the one proposed. in order TO accommO.
date the people generally and the street
railway. Mr. Wilgus opposed the work on
the ground or the enormous expense and
also because there was an easier and
more desirable way of getting up to
the same point lie declared that if
the committee would take the trouble
to 20 over there and see the proposed inn
prOvement they would be decidedly opposed
10 1t. and offered to furnish transportation.
III. Onyuer urged the Improvement and
pointed out the advantages of having the
work done. Aid. Petsch liked this idea,
and on his motion the committee adjourned
TIL next Friday afternoon at . O'Clock, when
the committee will go over there.
HAY SCALES.
The proposition to allow the board of
trade to pnt in scale on Rosabel street
was sat down upon very quickly and solidly
Every member of the committee was de-
cidedly opposed to it from the start and
upon principle. The council had refused to
allow the fire commissioners to put in
scale on the street and other parties had
also been refused. The only way for the
board to do was to buy lot for the pur-
pose. The committee unanimously decided
TO report adverse to the request. The com
mittee favored the vacation of Decatur
street. A request from the chamber of
commerce to have the board of public works
designate the fifty feet on the West side
levee for the Minnesota & Northwestern
road to make improvements upon. that the
road had agreed to make, was sent to the
board of public works.

Good TWo-ROund Contest.

CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-The glove contest at
the Park theater this evening for the usual
purse of 500, between James Feeley of
Chicago and Hugh Allen of Detroit was
entirely q different affair from that wit
messed at the same place week ago. Both
men were in good condition and it was a
flight" from the word time" Manager
King acted as referee and William Lake
man as timekeepeT. In the first half of the
first round both men spared cautiously foran
opening. Feeley led with his left. landing on
Aliens optic, completely closing it and
knocking him down. Allen recovered him
self and did some very hard rib roasting"
upon Feeley until time was called. In the
second round one or two light exchanges
were had. doing little or no damage. until
Feeley, who had up to this time held his
right in position, as if it was glued there,
let 1t fly, catching Allen under the chin,
completely knocking him out. This was
one OF the most savage twO-rOund battles
ever had in Chicago, and as clean a knock
OUT as is usually witnessed anywhere. The
house was packed from the foOtllghts to
the door,
