this was wrong or better counsels pre-

The Chicago Times has the follow
ing account of the Meyer-McAuliffe
fight: North Judson, February 13.-
The time in the Meyer-McAulitfe fight
was called at 6:5S a. m. There was a
wrangIe over McAuliffe having plas-
tered his hands under his gloves,
which for a time threatened to stop
proceedings. Colville advised McAu-
life to keep his gloves on. Finally
he was allowed to put them on. At
$40 two city marshals jumped on the
platform and informed those present
that the fight could not 60 on. After
. wrangle with the referee and sheriff
it was agreed to allow boxing
match. First round: McAuliffe led
with his left and forced Myers to the
ropes and landed his left hand on his
nose and his right on his ribs. The
rorld ended in favor of McAuliffe.
Second round: There was an eX-
change in which Myers landed on
the back of his opponents neck, get
UlnS Ill reUuru SGluger Ou VIC HOSe.
McAuliffe slipped at the ropes saving
himself from a terrible right hand
swinging blow. Foul was claimed +,
but not allowed.
NORTH JUDsON, II a. m.-Fifty-two
rounds have now been fought with
out either man having obtained any
advantage, although Myers had a
shade the best of it. Both men are
fighting strong but cautiously. The
Streator boy is letting Mac. do most
of the leading, and when the latter
does, he always manages to get an
element among the crowd, which is
urging the men on, being evidently
tired of waiting.

THE returns from the United States
Census Bureau for Ward No. 2 of this
city will be looked for with no little
interest. If the census takers figures
conform to those of the election re-
turns they will show an increase of
about four thousand population in
that ward in the past TWO years.
Who says that San Antonio has not
grown in population in most re-
markable manner. Should the census
takers figures, however, prove that
there was greater gain in the num-
Der of votes IN that ward than in &C
tual population it will be accepted by
the evilminded and those who seek
after figures as a sure sign of some
thing else. The arithmetic of ward
election across the San Pedro is like
the mind of the infinite, or Lord Dun
dreary's cOnundrum, or boarding
house hash-a mystery.
