Witnessed.

BosToN, June 1.-The fight tonight be.
tween Jack Williams, of Boston, and Frank
Murphy, the English featherweight, who is
matched to fight Jack Havlin, proved one
Of the hardest fought battles ever wit
messed in this city. The fight was nomi-
nally for fifteen rounds, but only one
third Of that number were neces-
sary. In the first round the fight
ing was very severe, and Williams was
twice knocked down. In the second
round Williams rallued wonderfully and
sent in sledgehammer blows upon Murphy,
one of which felled him to the floor. The
third and fourth rounds were compare
lively unimportant, although both men
were by no mean idle. The fifth round
developed some terribly hard fighting and
Murphy ultimately proved the victor. He
planted d terrific blow on Williams right
jaw, completely knocking him out.

SEWERAGE.
Alderman Pinkham's Estimate of the
Present Needs of the City and Most
Feasible Plan.

Alderman EStlIn8I0 Oh Ine
Present Needs of the City and Most
Feasible
When approached last evening on the
question OF sewerage, Alderman Pinkham
detailed the following as the present condi-
ticn OF the city sewer and the needed i'm
p~rovements:
'sWe need a sewer running the entire
length of our city. We have a natural
w~atercourse running through Butte from
north to south that is partially covered,
that is to say the watercourse is $3.50 feet
in length and of that there is covered 200
feet. Nine hnndred and ten foot is-een-
structed OF stone and 800 feet Of wood,
leaving 1000 feet that should be covered
at once. At present there's 278 feet OF the
culvert open above Granite street and
3,S12 feet below Park street, and that just
below Park is in a very bad condition, as
all of the filth OF the city from above Park
is left open to breed disease and works a
great hardship on the owners OF property
and the families thatlive below Park street.
To construct and complete this water
course it will cost $23,540."
lis this the best plan the city could
adopt?"
mo. The best plan would be to run a
four by six feet sewer by tunnelling the en-
tire length of Wyoming street at a depth oil
twenty feet from the surface and running
lateral lines at right angles from this main
sewer along each cross street. This would
drain the entire city with the exception oil
that portion lying in Missoula GuIch. This
system, however, could be done only at a
great cost, the amount of which | am II
in a position to state, and could give III
reliable figures, but l am very positive that
it would be much more than the largest
| sum we could raise by bonding the city
| which would be somewhere about $4,000
| But the old sewer, if the necessary and
needed improvements were made In the
| heal future, would be amply sufficient fol
| the present. 1t would not be as effectual
| of course, as the W~yoming-street sewer
| would be, but at present it is the most
| feasible plan we can adopt. So far al
| affects the sewerage question, the franchise
| given by the city to thenew water company
has some sixty days before it expires. Thu
| Silver Bow water company had a contrac
with the city to furnish water for the ex
tinguishment of fires, and received~there
for 500 a month. The new company fur
nishes this supply free, but charges 500
month for flushing the sewer. Now,
the council decides only to complete th
present work, which will cost abou
$25, 900, the balance OF money car well b
expended, and to public advantage in in
provements on streets. the water supply
and in the fire department.

not handicapped in any mea sure while ad-

in sustaining his theory that the great
sire must be one whose vitality has not
been subjected to the enormous strain of
arduous track campaigns. With one
exception. not single animal which
has trotted in 2:14 or better, and of these
there have been eleven, was sired by a

This is very striking showing in favor
Of the unraced horse as sire. aud it
must also be said that the surprising
dearth of colts to defend the reputation
of horses with low records. adds great
force to Mr.. Hamlin's side of the ques-
ton.
However. We must wait awhile. 1t
must be remembered that the custom of
trotting stations has increased very
greatly Of lato years There used to be
an idea that they could not trot so fast
as other horses, and consequently the
sires Of the great performers of the day
lived in time when testing their speed
was not the fashion. and they we're not
often highly tried. The new generation
of racing stations has hardly had fair
show, and the young Phallases and Pa
irons may yet stagger Mr.. Hamlin's
theory, though doubtless its foundation
is essentially sound and immovable.
