Maher has very interesting record
which begins with his fight with the ter
ror OF Dublin, In the yard OF Guinness g
brewery. He is Galway man and Is five
feet eleven and a half inches in height.
After he whipped the terror he entered
Tony Sage's amateur competitions In the
round room In the rotunda in Sackville
street, Dublin.
The first man he boxed with was j. E.
Sullivan, who was 6 feet In height and
weighed about 1s5 pounds. Sullivan was
announced as the middleweight champion
OF Ireland, but he was n beaten man In
three rounds. Maher felt fresh enough
on the same night TO put on the gloves
with Martin O'Hara, and after punching
him pretty hard in the first round OHara
announced that he had had enough. After
that, whenever Maher was spoken Of, he
was called the amateur champion OF Ire
land
II wasn't long before he turned profess
sional and made a match with James
O'Doherty, In Dublin. They fought six
rounds and Maher had the better Of 1t,
when the police jumped In and stopped
the fight. After that he entered for the
English championship. Maher came out
very well. He beat two mon and in the
finals was brought up against Ro bert
Hair. The decision was given TO Hair.
Maher wanted Hair to come over to Dub
lin and make a match, but Hair declined.
Maher made match to box Alfred Bow
man OF England for ESQ. The men came
together In August, 1890. in Dublln. in n
16-foot ring. In the sixth round the Eng
lishman was out and Maher was favor
ite.
In the fall OF the same year he was
matched TO fight Joe McAuliffe in San
Francisco, but IL amounted to nothing be-
cause of the objections Of the police,
Then Tony Sage. OF the Albert Club.
Dublin, made match for Maher to fight
Lambert OF Canada. for E100 q side. They
came together In the Pelican Club OF
London. on Feb. z. 1891. There was one
round fought, and the contest lasted less
than minute.
Lambert landed the first blow, body
one. but Maher countered effectually.
Maher followed up the blow after the
breakaway and landed blow on his an
tagonist's face. When Lambert got up
Maher advanced again and hit him on the
cheek, upsetting him. Then he finished
him, knocking him out.
He came across the ocean to fight, and
in the words of Billy Madden, He'll fight
when he is told"
Madden says he wants to get a go with
Mitchell or Fitzsimmons, IL he can. II
not he will be satisfied with James Cor
bett or any good man In the class.

In fact, he is in that branch Of the game
keener than ever, but in the playing of his
position he has deteriorated in marked
manner, and cannot hope to continue in
the field much longer. 1t was this knowl-
edge. perhaps. that made him so anxious
TO win the pennant this season, and there
Is a strong likelihood that had he been
successful Arson would have retired from
active participation in the game.

when it comes to relics associated with his
torical events or famous individuals be-
lieve it is really duty to preserve them

the preservation of his abiding place for
future generations7 It has for some time
