well-knowp Boston sporting man, who had
wagered big money on Jack. at this
moment threw up his hands and begged his
seconds to stop the fight. But whatever
may be said, Dempsey was plucky through
out.
When Referee Alex Brewster awarded
the battle to Fitzsimmons, jimmy Car
roll jumped at his protege and kissed him
time and again. Dempsey was badly pun
ished. His swollen face, cut lips and
nose and bad mark or two on his body
not scratched. He won in a walk over.
Jake Kilrain, William Muldoon, Billy
Meyers and other fighting authorities were
unanimous in pronouncing Fitzsimmons a
marvellous middle-weight. All of them
were amazed at his hitting powers, reach
and generalship. All said Dempsey was
out-classed.
Phil Lynch says F'itzsimmons can whip a
dozen heavy weights. He knows Dempsey
is as good in his class as ever, and Lynch
is willing to bet $1,000 tomorrow on him
against La Blanche. Major Mclaughlin,
president of the California Athletic clue,
said: Ever since L saw F'itzsimmons
fight with Mccarthy / have been certain
he could lick Dempsey. My only surprise
is he did not do it in fewer rounds"
In the tenth round, Fitzsimmons picked
him up after having knocked him down,
and said: Jack, you are whipped, | can't
hit you.' Dempsey would not be downed
and insisted on fighting. Fitzslmmons
after that did not want to hit Dempsey
but the latter insisted and he was finally
Strengthened out on the floor. A promi-
nent New Orleans politician won 1000 or

minutes.

Swapuing Wives.
lspecialtO TIE MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

lSpecialto THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch !
COLUMBUS, Ind, Jan. IA queer story
comes from Williamsburg relative to Frank
Helms, of that place, and Daniel Smith of
Carlos City, agreeing to swap wives. 1t is
said that the Helms were disconsolate be-
cause they had no children and the Smiths
because they were being favored with too
many. BY the swap Smiths wife and four
children and small farm were to go to
Helms, and Helms wife and small town
property to Smith, but Justice Rush. of
Carlos City, on whom they depended to
satisfy the law while they were satisfying
themselves, could not find any authority
for divorce and remarriage under such cir
cumstances, and hence the swap hangs fire.
The latest is that the contracting parties
have agreed that each shall apply for di-
vorce at the coming term of the court on
the ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment and then remarry according to the
original agreement.

THE CONCORD'S TRIAL
The Sister Ship of the Yorktown
and Bennington
Makes Very Successful Ran of Four Hours
Her Engines Workd to Perfection
Probable Bonus Earned.
[special to THE HERA1p-Examiner Dispatch.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE new steel
gunboat Concord has just finished sue
cessful trial trip in Long Island sound.
She is sister ship to the Yorktown and
Bennington. She left the dock at the
navy yard at 1890 am. Monday and made
run to Sea island where anchorage was
made for the night. Yesterday morning at
9 o'clock the anchor was gotten up and
with clean fires and engines in good condi-
ton the ship gathered Roadway and at 9: 80
the trial began. 1t was to last four hours
during which the engines were required by
the contract to develop an average of 3, 400
horse power with bonus OF 500 for each
horse power above this number and cor
responding penalty below. The machinery
easily fulfilled these requirements, at
least such is the opinion of the engineers on
board though no Official figures can be
given out until the indicators used on the
cylinders are tested at the New York navy
yard and the corrections applied to the
cards taken on the trial.
Taking the performance of this ship, of
her unsuccessful trial in November last,
and considering her horse power to vary as
the cube of the revolutions this trial gives
about J, 400horse power. 1t is probable,
however, that the ship did better than this
and earned for her builders bonus of from
| IS, 600 to $4,000 in addition to the contract
| price of $4,000. a favorable point in con-
nection with the trial is that at the end OF
the four hours the ship was making ten
revolutions more than at the start, so the
contractors ran half an hour longer so as tc
throw out the first hour, during which the
engines were making but $40 revolutions
and add in a half hour with 1908 revo
| luuonS. The engines worked beautifully
with no water on the bearings and the
throttle was wide open all the time. The
steam pressure averaged 100 POUNDS for the
four hours Sc ected. The average number Of
revolutions Of the engines was slightly
over $50.
