4 LIVELY FIGHT.
Referees and Seconds Take q
Hand I'm the MILL.


MILWAUKEE, April 2S.-Between
600 and 800 from this city, Chicago
and elsewhere went to Thiensvile,
fifteen miles out,this afternoon to wit
ness a 6ght to finish between Pat
McCartin and John Ward. These
men fought to Ethe finish two years
ago, Ward who was then the acknowl-
eyed heavyweight champion Of Wis
consin, being knocked out in the
twenty-seventh round. To-day's
affair ended in great row, the
inability to obtain a mutually sat
isfactory referee resulting in the
choice of two men as umpires, in
stead of referee; Billy Sisson acting
for McCartin and Jack Bolan for
Ward. Five savage rounds were
fought, McCartin having the best of it
all the way through, when they
clinched. Sisson tried to separate
them and Ward struck him terrific
blow. Sisson thereupon jumped on
Wards back and was pummelling
him when the, seconds interfered.
While THE three-cornered fight was
going on the seconds got to fighting
among themselves. Finally Sisson
was thrown over the ropes and the
fight resumed. In the fifth round
Bolan gave the fight to Ward on 8
foul, and amid great uproar he jumped
into a buggy and escaped from the
angry spectators. -s,l. n, s.t,.,;.

with an object broad as humanity it
has united in sympathy and interest

peared, boundary lines been effaced
and high above all q banner raised,
upon which by common consent
has been inscribed, "For greater
than all these is chaiity." That with
the flowers that bloom in our gardens
and in the valleys and upon our hills,
each day new gift from the boun,,
teous hand Of our Father, we should
for ten days and eleven evenings nave
been able to continue our work OF
love, is the cause Of heartfelt rejoic-
ings. "More blessed to give than to
receive" Pass the Divine truth along
the line, and at our next annual festi-
val may we be, if possible, more will
ing to give cur time, talents, energies
and means to do grander things than
have yet been done !; for are not the
possibilities beyond conception

Last night witnessed the close of the
Flower Festival, and thousands were
present to participate in the parting
pleasures. The booths all looked at
their best, and it was evident that
those in charge had exerted their ut
most ingenuity to entrance the public
in bidding them farewell. Most of
the flowers had been changed and
several new devices were displayed, a
PARTICULARLY noticeable one being an
''Adios" which appeared over the
Alhamb bra booth. The entertainment
consisted of fa a. drill by the
N. G. O., after which several ofches-
itral selections were given while the
visitors made their parting trips to the
bowers of beauty around. About 8 80
it was announced that the decision Of
the judges would be given, and few
minutes later Mr.. William Pridham
mounted the stage and read the fol-
lowing fat ::-4-s's-s.si;'s 's..'-.'. '''tss:.s

The judges appointed by your So
ciety entered on their duties on the
goth instant and have been engaged
therein daily, noting carefully all
changes, additions and improvements
in the competing booths. They we're
embarrassed by the great merit OF the
competitors and by the fact that there
were but two prizes in each class to
be given. OF this, however, we were
relieved by your prompt and generous
acquiesence in our suggestion that
5000 be added to the amount of the
above prizes, to be used as special
awards. In distributing the prizes
for design, particular attention was
given to the novelty thereof, not to
say originality, of course giving all
other points due consideration. We
find that Alhambra is entitled to the
first prize for design, 500, and Long
Beach the second prize for design, $75.
The general excellence of the vari-
GUS exhibits was hung in view:
First, beauty of display.
Second, artistic effect.
Third, neatness.
Fourth, variety and num1er Of
flowers.
On careful daily examination of
comparison we award the first prize OF
5000 to Santa Monica, second prize of
$3.50 to Alhambra, and the special
fund OF 5000 so literally voted by
your manager, we have apportioned
as follows: 800 to San Fernando and
Pocoima, $50 to Anaheim, $35 to Mr..
Lyons, $15 to Pansy exhibit.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the ladies in charge Of "Inglewood"
for the great taste and labor displayed
in their v work, for which they are we'll

Effect Of the Rate war.

.i.: CHICAGO, April 2S,-The statement
prepared by Chairman Midgley, of the
Southwestern Traffic Association, Of
the losses sustained blythe Association
lines during the recent rate war,
showed g. reduction of revenue, as
compared with the CORRESPONDING
period OF last year, of GA per cent on
Western and M per cent on Eastern
tonnage, or total decrease Of 81, ,104,
600. There was also decrease in
tonnage amounting to II per cent Of
west bound and 81 of east-bound
traffic. It is calculated that the losses
on all the lines between Lake Superior
and Texas reach a total Of 81 $50, ,00(
on through traffic. To this should be
added the reductions to and from in
terror points, . traffic three or foul
times as large as the through business
