WASHINGTON, Jan. l1.-Social circles
here are turned completely inside out by
the latest row between the members OF the
upper tendem. Since the gay season set
in'there has been two family scandals, an
editor thrashed, and now as fitting eli
max two of the best known young society
men of the city hire a barn and pound
each other until their own families cannot
recognize them. The pugilistic young
gentlemen in question are none other
than the sons Of Acknowledgement Gar
land and Senator Jones, OF Arkansas.
Last Saturday night, over friendly game
Of billiards, they quarreled and the lie
was given. They concluded TO settle il
in the approved style under the Marquis
Of Queensbury rules. Accordingly, Sun
day was spent in securing place. The
barn chosen being in the northern out
skirts Of the city. Ned Donnelly, OF
Brooklyn, the expire fighter, was Sc
lected TO act as jack-in-the-box for
both. The men stripped TO the buff,
and when time was called, both sprung
into the ring looking as vicious as IL was
possible for two undressed dudes TO look.
Jones is the tallest, and his long legs and
arms were used TO advantage. Garland is
shorter and, II possible, somewhat thinner
than his antagonist. The referee advised
Garland TO remove his eyeglasses, but he
refused, saying he could see just where 10
hit him-meaning Jones.
In the frst round Jones countered on
Garland's ribs and the latter retaliated
with one on his antagonists nose. First
blood for Garland. Time was then called
for the injured man TO get silk handker-
chief. Then they went at each other with
vim, Jones winding his long legs about
Garland. and down went the latter. Time
was called and both men took their cor
ners.
Round Both men came up groggy,
and Garland was in a plight about ms
glasses. Jones hit out freely, and Garland
returned everything. Close fighting then
came ON, and both went down in one
corner, scratching and biting The referee
ordered the fight stopped, and declared II
a draw.
The injured men were then sent home,
and are now being fed through str vs..
