BOXED FOUR ROUNDS.

Five Lively Set-Tos at the California
Clubs Exhibition.
Ten feather and bantam weight boxers
faced and hammered each other In the
squared circle last night during the weekly
en- tertainment of the California Athletic
Club. Several hundred members, including
Directors Leek, Valentine, Morse, Andre VS.
and Dean, President Fulda and about five
score of friends of members were present.
The spectators were much amused and en-
tertained, appauding and roaring with
laughter quite frequently.
Frank Allen was referee and master of
ceremonies while lick Abraham held the
watch. The first pair to face each other in
a four-rnund set-to with soft pillows were
James McGuirk and John Joy. All the ex-
hibitions were under similar conditions.
Next to face each other and receive lib
eral share of applause were Tom KLINE
and Tom McAvoy. The two Toms were fol-
lowed by William Mack and Bob German,
who hammered each other at lively rate and
to the full satisfaction of the spectators
After German had his right eye closed by
a speedy left-hander, he reached Mack, and
almost KIN 9cked him through the ropes. So
fiercely was the last round fought that
Referee Allen volunteered a decision. He
decided that German displayed the most
science, although he was badly bruised by
his heavier opponent.
Ed Pinkus and Charles Fowler faced each
other in four good-natured rounds, after
which the bouts were brought to a close by a
to between Billy Woods and Bert Ell
bridge. While Billy is lightweight. and

The Third Infantry Also Wants to At
tend the Worlds Fair.
The Third Regiment has now caught the
fever, and at the meeting Of its board of Off
GERS last evening decided togo as a battalion
to Chicago IN 1893, to attend the Worlds

that originated by the Nationals and then
adopted by the First Infantry, namely, not
to count upon State aid. but to have every
man DESTROYS of going deposit 81 week ly in
a company fund for the purpose. The cap

age each the fund iu his respective company.
At meeting on Monday night of Battery

Fair, and to show their good faith, each one
paid 81 so down, and agreed TO deposit 81
weekly into q Worlds Fair fund. Ser

were appointed committee to make COM
piete arrangements.

MDONALD'S MONEY.
Mrs. Bansome-Lee Questioned as to Her
Past Life.


Past Life.
Mrs. McGregor-Ran was
again on the stand in the Probate Court
before Judge Coffey yesterday and was
very closely cross-examined by the unsal
opposed to her son Henry's succession to
the estate of Captain c. E. S. Mcdonald,
valued at $4,000.
Attorney Tum Sudden questioned her
most particularly as to her past life and es-
pecially as to her career while she was a
variety performer and waitress. She adj
mitted having worn low cut dresses in the
boxes of the various places she was en-
ployed at and gave the list of these palaces
of Thespis. The various houses she used
to lodge at were also inquired into. Her
marriage license to one Goodwin in Septem-
Der, 1870 was introduced and she de-
scrbed the physical condition of one
Stuart, a clOg-dancer whom she was mar
ried to later on. Her son, the claimant,
Henry, was never baptized, though her
other child was.
The attorneys for Duncan Mcdonald,
the oldest heir and brother of the deceased
here stated that they also desired to cross
examine the witness, but Judge Coffey said
he would rule on that matter when the
proper time came.
The witness stated that the most money
Captain Mcdonald ever gave her at one
time was S225. The hearing will be re.
sum ed to-day.

Only Two Clergymen Present-The Chamber of
Commerce Telegraphs Protest to

The ministers meeting which was called
TO protest against the selection of the Sew

Spouse to the call but two ministers put in
an appearance-Rev. j. Sanders Reed and
DR.. S. V. Leech-and there were in all some
fifty-thTee persons in attendance
1t was nearly 80 o'clock when the Rev.
Mr.. Reed arose and asked that the proceed
ings be opened by singing the well-known
hymn America" in which he asked all
to join. He followed by offering up a brief
prayer, and on arising stated the objects Of
the meeting.
ETHICS INVOLVED.
"This meeting" he said, "has been called
for the purpose of considering the ethics in
volved in the selection of the Postotfice site.

Is drawing at the Bush-street The people
in the cast are getting gradually down to
their work, and as far as the play will adj
nit, doing more acting and less talk. The
trouble with these fresh companies that
fash on US occasionally is that their members
think more of their individuality than they
do of compacting their work in such form
as to produce a good general result. There is
fine material in The President" if it be
handled properly. and what we are pleased
to see is a disposition to make the play COM
plete, even if it be at the expense of the
player in his individual capacity. 1t is a
combination" company and this term
means that each should vie with the other
in making a success Of the whole enterprise.
We do not expect to find stars in such an
organization, or, if we do, we shall be dis
appointed What we want is good, general
all-round acting.

At the California.


"Dr. Bill" is filling the New California,
despite its shallowness and reminiscent fea-
lures. 1t makes good deal of fun for the
not over-criti cal audience and Herewith
they are satisfied. If the management
would take off Jerome's Sunset curtain
litter and start the evening with the
comedy proper, we are of opinion every
body would be better pleased. The audi
ence would be saved this vapid introduction
TO the piece de resistance, and would be the
sooner dismissed. Because this young
Englishmau has written the twaddle OF
Three Men in a Boat to say nothing of
the dogl an eVentless excursion on the
Thames. it is no reason why we should be
bored with his inanites in our theaters.
This Sunset" rubbish stands in the way
of "Dr. Bill's" success, and the sooner it is
shelyed tie better it will be for the man
agement. There are pretty little mono-act
pieces. but jerome is not yet master Of

of playing Jim the Penman," nor would

true. but not in the sense in which the

TWO MINISTER'S PRESENT.
DR.. Leech arose at this point and sug-
gested as the meeting was one of ministers
that the clergymen present be requested to
arise and be counted.
A count developed the fact that DR..
Leech and Mr.. Reed were the only ones
present.
MI Reed then asked that the meeting be
converted into one for laymen, and this was
objected to by John P. Irish, who occupied
a seat well forward. The Colonel lost the
day, and the meeting was organized by the
election OF Mr. Reed for Chairman and DR..
Leech for Secretary.
The latter, on taking his place. begged the
privilege of making Il few remarks and IN
su6sta nee said:
q NY opinion is that the city clergy ought
not, as such. to express any official opinion
concerning the selection of a postOffice site.
Their mission should be to preach the Cos
pei and try to grapple with the tremendous
moral problems of the day. do not know
who has inspired the calling together of the
pastors, but | am opposed to having the
clergymen utilized in the interest of such
real estate dealers as have pOstOffiee sites to
sell.
CATs-PAws.
MY experience has been that ministers
nullify their influence with thoughtful men
when they allow themselves to be used as
cats-paws to pull chestnuts from the fire for
politicians. There has been no meeting of
ministers called to devise action for the de-
crease of intemperauce or to tender cleri-
cal support to Judge Wallace in his heroic
and sublime eDdeayor TO give us purer local
and State government"
He closed by paying strong tribute to
the worth of Postmaster-G General Wanna
maker, whom he had known personally for
years. and deprecated any attempt to
besmrch such man.
Al the close of his address the meeting
adjourned without action.
