passenger rates during the Worlds Fair and

are urged. One is that it cuts into the present

other objection Is that the round trip rate

WOMEN PRIzE-FIGHTERs.

Two women of muscle and avoirdupois
appeared before on Eastern District gath
ering last night on the stage of apublic
theatre in modified fighting costume and
proceeded to pummel each other after
the violent fashion prevalent in the prize
ring.
The place was crowded to suffocation.
Brooklyn politicians of prominence
graced the ringside. Brooklyn police
men, conspicuous for theif inaction until
the best of the fun" was over, were
sprinkled literally through the throng.
A howling and miscellaneous mob Of
humanity made up the rest Of tho cul-
tured assemblage.
A prize of S25 was dependent upon the
issue of the fight. The women clinched
and slugged and bled through three
rounds and part Of fourth, when, see-
ing that one Of them was giving out and
that the sport was likely to run low, the
police ended the affair.
The occurrence hardly calls for COM
ment. In the disgusting details Of the
brutal affair is TO be read all that could
be suggested by any pen. But for Brook
lyn's good name and for the sake of a
race which claims to have made this age
one of progress and of high civilization,
some one should ask. and see to it that an
answer is forth coming, why this thing was
permitted.
