The present maker has turned ont at
least two organs each week for thirty
two years, or about five thousand In all,
and they are nearly all In use. There are
seasons when New Workers imagine that

BILLY MYER WORsTED.
THE srREEToR CYCLONE LOSES AT
NEW ORLEANS.
Andy Bowen Outgenerals His Opponent
and Wins on Foul-A Great Battle
Between Lightweights.

NEW ORLEANS, May 19.-The great
lightweight glove fight between Andy
Bowen, the Louisiana Tornado and Bill
Myer, the Streetor Cyclone, occurred to-
night. The betting today was $10O on
Myer to $50 on Bowen. These men it
will be remembered met last May and
fought twenty-six rounds, at the end OF
which time Myers manager, Cheney,
gave up the fight. Myer was not
knocked out but bruised and bloody,
and presented the appearance Of man
nearly beaten. Alexander Brewster was
appointed referee.
In the first round Bowen was wary
and Myer aggressive. Bowen hit Myer
a smasher on the head, knocking him
down, and repeated the knockdown in a
short time.
In the second Myer continued to crowd
Bowen, and received a hard swing on
his eye. Bowen got a heavy left-hander
on his ear. Bowen landed his right on
Myers ribs, the blow sounding all over
the house.
In the third round Myers nose was
bleeding freely, and he received a
smash in the ribs that nearly knocked
him down. Bowen staggered Myer with
a right-had swing. In the fourth Myer
kept pressing on in spite Of hard blows
from Bowen, and succeeded IN landing a
right-hander on Bowen's nose. In the
fifth, sixth and seventh sharp blows
were exchanged, but nothing decisive.
In the eighth, Myer seemed tired of
being the aggressor, and tried to pull
Bowen on, but the latter was too eau
tious. Finally, when Bowen did lead,
Myer knocked him down. In the ninth
Myer was staggered by a Highlander.
In the tenth, eleventh and twelfth there
were some sharp exchanges, and Bowen
was evidently getting angry. He began
to fight viciously, but with bad judg-
ment. Bowen smashed Myers eye
with a right-hander, and it bled pro-
fusely.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth
Myer Begged Bowen to lead. Bowen re-
sponded. with smash on Myers stom-
ach. Myer landed his right solid on
Bowen's head. In the fifteenth, six
teenth and seventeenth there was sharp
fighting, both landing heavy blows,
Bowen finishing the round with heavy
right on Myers jaw, following it up
with one on the stomach, Myers face
looking very bad at this time. He had a
terrible black eye, which was bleeding
at one corner and swollen and bloody
nose. Myer still continued his aggres-
sive tactics, and in the next few rounds
landed some hard blows, seeming to
gain ground. In the nineteenth, after
sharp clinch, Myer in breaking away
fell. In the twentieth Bowen landed,
knocking Myer to the ropes. The referee

boy being too eager to finish the fight,
but could not land. In the twenty
second round Bowen landed heavy right
on Myers sore eye. Myer landed vicious
right, and committed several fouls. In
the twenty-fourth round Myer fouled
Bowen several times, and the crowd be-
came boisterous. The referee awarded
the fight to Bowen on foul. President

rendered tomorrow. Several Myer men

Again.

CHICAGO, May 19.-Much business OF
Importance to horse-breeders was trans
acted By the executive committee OF the
American Trotting Register association
today. After a long discussion it was
voted to incorporate rule in the by
laws that any PAGER otherwise eligible,
may be admitted for registry as standard
when it has made record in
accordance with the rules OF
the association of the 2:25 or better.
1t was agreed that it was OF vital i'm
portance that some safeguard be thrown
around the registry, to avoid any con.
tingency of appeal from the decision OF
the registrar. To effect this a board OF
censors was appointed, consisting OF
Ijams of Indiana, and @. f. Emory
of Ohio. This board will
have absolute authority in the
matter OF registry. Rules were also
adopted, directing that the year book
shall contain complete summary OF all
harness races; and that all perform
ances against time shall be at a regular
meeting Of society in membership with
the American or National association,
and conducted by regular officials
of such societies. This is very
important because hitherto there has
been great uncertainty in many cases
about authenticity of records against
time. Mr.. Brodhead, when asked about
the prospects for consolidation, said !:
'sThe National Breeders association is
willing to join us, but cannot legally
take action until December. At that
time there is no doubt that an amalga-
nation will be effected.
