unfavorable as expected, the deficit for
the whole system being only s275,0 600. This

rates in 1890 than in 1889. The mileage OF
the Union Pacific system has increased
since January l, $780, by the addition OF a
number of lines, bringing it up to S,075. On

AMONG THE SPORTS
Purcell Defeats Young Dempsey
in a Glove Contest.
THE LA BLANCHE-KESSLER MEET
Williams and Sullivan are in Active Training
Base Ball Teams Preparing for
Work-The Regatta.

There was lively scrap at the pool room
In the rear of the Turf Exchange, on Main
street, last night, the principals being Pur-
cell, local fighter, who has recently
sprung into prominence, and young Demp-
sey, one Of the best known pugilists on the
coast. The mill was witnessed by very
distinguished" audience, and the work Of
the young gladiators seemed to give great
satisfaction. Purcell was seconded by
Mike Sullivan, while jim Williams looked
after Dempsey. The California man is
much smaller than Purcell, and the latter
outweighed him by at least twenty
pounds. After some preliminary talk,
George La Blanche was selected as referee,
and the mill commenced. Purcell opened
the ball with drive at the face but Demp-
sey lodged, and landed twice in the
stomach. This was followed by heavy ex-
changes, and the round closed with honors
even. In the second round Dempsey
started in to force the fighting. and landed
twice on Purcell's face. The latter then
recovered and after smashing the Califor-
nian three or four times, forced him to the
ropes, when Dempsey clinched tc

commenced to rush in the THIRD
round and the little man stood him OF for 6

La Blanche and KessIer to Meet,

1t is quite likely that La Blanche, the
Marine, will meet George Kessler, his old
antagonist in this city. The latter has
frequently expressed his willingness to
meet the Marine and he has been written
TO and asked to fix date. In the mean
time the Marine is hard at work getting
himself IN condition. The proposed match
between him and Richards, the colored
man, is of, as neither party is anxious for
it. The two men are excellent friends,
however, and La Blanche says Richards is
q wonder, considering his inexperience
The two men will meet at Ed Kelley's
gymnasium to night and give little exhi-
bition for points.

The Castle Valley Railway.

We would say to the people of Emery
county turn out and do all you can to for
ward the building of the proposed new rail
road. 1t is an enterprise that means a
great deal to Emery county and will be the
making of every town along the line of the
road to the south of here. People of Price
should set the example by taking the mat
ter in hand and secure the right of way and
offer what other assistance they can, then
other towns will follow. The people are
liberal and will do all they can wien the
time comes. The new road, according to
the articles Of incorporation, Will start
from Price, which takes away any objec.
ton Price people might have to its build
ing, and makes it their duty to pull for the
road with all their might. We might re-
peat the statement made in our article of
last week, that the new road will un-
doubtedly be the main line to the coast in q
very short time, which adds greatly to its
value to Emery county.-Prfce Telegraph.
