lie 10 a printer by trade. He is thought highly
OF in New Orleans, and is much in demand to
referee the big contests down there. Mr. Violet,
OF the Cotton Exchange in New Orleans, is an
other excellent referee. Mr.. Recap, of the
schuykill Navy A. c., and James Dawson, of
Philadelphia, should be included in the list of
referees whose judgment can be depended upon.
In general, l wish TO repeat my statement that
the sport suffers little from bad decisions. They
are much fewer than the public is led to be-
lieve.
A good deal is said about foul fighting I be-
lleve in prompt disqualification tor Intentional
vicious fouling. | don't take very much stock
in what is called shOuidering. II is hard to do
any damage that way. Pat Cahiu was accused
OF ii in his recent fight with Jim Butler l didn't
see the battle, but | know Cahills style very
well, and am inclined to believe that his real
intention was to getclo to his man in order to
deliver his favorite blow, which is right-hand
swing on the jaw given at close quarters and
with peculiar lift of the body.
Buttng is dangerous practice and should
dlsquaiify any fighter who does II with malice.
Another bad foul is the elbow trick. II is worked
at the breaking OF eli ch, sometimes with
simple lab" or perhaps with the pivot If
saw man hurt by this trick in a fight would
certainly give him the decision.
The pivot blow generally bears La Blanche's
name now, though il Is real Y Jimmy CAROLS
He claims that he hits with the "hee of his
hand" as the phrase is, and of course that is
perfectly fair. | am not iutimating that he
does not. But there are fighters who use the
elbow in this way and they should never be al
lowad TO win by it. A good referee can tell
whether punch with tho elbow is accidental or
not
Low hitting should always be watched The
Birmingham blow is an ugly foul 1t is
swinging up cut, ostensibly for the pit of the
stomach out really aimed low. The referee, if
he knows anything about boxing, can readily
detect this sort of work, and he should stop It
right away There's nothing in this style of hit
ting, and II n man who knows better uses it. he is
trying TO foul. A man " no commits deliberate
foul il coward. He wants TO quit. III / am
referee I'll please him by letting him quit, for
I'll decide against him as soon as his intentions
are revealed.
In closing wish TO say a word about profess
sionaIi.m in the amateur ranks 1t seems to me
that the best way % get rid OF the evil would be
10 form an amateur boxing league of America.

much. with its outdoor s,,Orts and other yaria-

popular sentiment must be founded upon right
principles in order TO accomplish good results.
When fair and crooked work meet about an
equal shsre OF adverse criticism, there is not
much chance for reform
The course OF affairs in the department of
amateur boxing has been the subject of much
dispute recently, and the air has been full OF
accusations and denials. The charge OF pro-
iessiona.ism has been freely made and no
well-informed person can doubt that

matter of decisions, claiming that, through in
competence and prejudice on the part OF judges
and referees, the best boxers frequently missed
the medals. IL is on this subject that have
been asked to give an opinion.
A sport In which the best men do not win can
never hold place. Participants and spectators
soon tire of unfair contests The sentiment of
Justice is deep-seated and easily offended. Spec
tators Of boxing contest are quick to rise in
protest at a decision which looks bad. But they
are not always right even when nearly unan-
imous; indeed, the kickers are much more often
wrong.
It's impossible for a referee to please every
body; IL Is hard enough for him to act so that
bis own sense of Justice will be satisfied after
wards. But believe that this arduous position
sgenerally well filled.
II should be remembered that in a crowd Of
1900 or 5000 spectators there are ordinarily not
more than fifty really good judges OF boxing,
and no great proportion of so large a number
can be near the ring. 1t is not easy to appre-
eate the fine points Of boxing match unless
one is reasonably close TO the contestants.
Then, too, with good judges and a fair
view there will be room for difference of
opinion. / have sat with Billy Edwards,

TO unshackle the cable, but before it could

The captain made several attempts to
reach the bow of the vessel to cut tn g

the poop nearly breaking his back. Finally
the tremendous sea power caused tho cable
to lift and carry across the vessels deck the

foot long buoy. Then the vessel dragged
her 3700- pound anchor by the head line and

HAMILTON GRANGE SOLD.
The Thirteen Famous Elm Trees
in New York.
They Were Planted to Represent thu Orig
nal States and Are Still
Standing.

The famous old country place known a.
Hamilton Grange. located in New York
City, containing the great trees familiar to
all old residents Of the metropolis, was sold
at auction last Tuesday, and it is welcome
news to learn from the Sun that the old
elms are to be preserved. When Alexander
Hamilton planted thirteen trees to represent
the thirteen original States 1t was not GER
tain that these States would endure. And
it seemed foolish to suppose that all of thu
trees would grow. But they have flourisbed
as the States have fiouriShed. For ninety
years they have raised their branches to the
sky. 1t was during the first year of tina
century that General Hamilton bought the
property which became known as Hamil-
ton Grange. 1t extended from One HIM
dred and Fortieth to One Hundred and
Forthwith street. and from Convent to Am.
sterdam avenues. Those streets were not
in existence then. The whole country
thereabonts was known only as Harlem
Heights. General Hamilton was told that
he had gone too far away from town. even
for a country place.
Before the foundation was laid for the
house General Hamilton planted the seeds
of the trees. Then he set himself about
building the fine old colonial house. when
is pride to this day. The timbers for this
house were given to General Hamilton nv
George Washington himself. They came
from some lands which Washington owned
up the Hudson, and the logs were fioated
down in a raft. The house was slow in
building. The elm seeds had become fine
shoots when it was finished in 1902 Gen.
eral Hamilton lived in the house less than
two years. for it was in the latter part of
1894 that he was killed in the duel with
Aaron Burr. At that time the trees were
only thrifty shoots. Ii seemed impossible
that they all should live. The place re-

Young Chauncey NJ. Depew, known at

and this mere fact of extreme youth seems
to be about all that keeps him out of the
race for the Presidency of the United States.

CONCERNING THE WRECK.

Something About the Five Men Who
Lost Their Lives.
The main topic Of conversation along the
city front yesterday was the terrible disas-
ter that had Overtaken the Venture at Rock
port, and by which five unfortunate men
had lost their lives. All the victims were
well known in this city, but only one of
them was married.
William j. Strand. the dead fireman, lived
at 1923 York street. leaves a widow ard sew
eral children to mourn his loss. Strand had
been on the Inflated steamer nearly three
years, was a man of good habits and was
considered one Of the best firemen on this
coast
Chief Engineer Daniel Holland was a
single man, was about 50 years of age and
had been on this coast about 10 years. He
was an Eastern man.
Frank Burns. the second engineer, was a
native Of Wexford, Ireland, and was 80
years of age He had been on this coast
over % years, and was formerly engineer on
the wTecking steamer Whitelaw. He re-
sided at 523 Second street. Both Holland
and Burns Joined the Venture the day be-
fore she sailed on her trip to Rockport.
Holland took the place Of Chief Engineer
McCalden, who was detained by private
business, and Burns was shipped in place of
Second Engineer Charles Shappy, who. to-
gether with the chief mate, was injured on
the previous trip by heavy sea that washed
over the steamer.
James Carlson. the steward, was also an
old resident OF this city. and lived on Sacra-
ment0 street. He was native of Sweden,
80 years old.
John Peterson, the sailor who also lost his
life in the wreck, was member Of the Coast
Seamen's Union. and had been on the vessel
nearly year. He was native OF Sweden,
and was about 80 years of age.
All Of the crew who escaped with their
lives were more or less bruised by contact
with the sharp rocks while reaching the
shore.
Rockport is about the only place on the
coast where the lumber is loaded into a YES
sci by means of a wire ha stretched
from the cliff. and down which the lumber
Is sent In loads by means of sling and
pulley.
The wire rope stretches from the cliffs to
a large anchor in the sea, over thousand
feet away, and the vessel to be loaded is
mooTed under the hawser aud the load is
lowered from the hawser TO the deck by
means OF steam engine on the shore. This
enables the vessel TO lie a greater distance
from the shore and receive her cargo than
would be possible if chute was used.
Up To late hOar last night none of the
bodies had been rec v,red, ut it is ex-
pected that all of them will be washed upon
the beach in day Or two.
1t Is expe ted that Captain johnson and
the rest OF the crew, ten in number that
were saved with him will leave for this CITY
tomorrow and inrtbersie ais of the dis
aster will be learned on their arrival here.
Manyi0f the coast Sc amen when spoken to
ahont the disaster said that Rockport is said
10 be the worst place along the coast at
which to load, and were surprised that many
OF the crew were saved.

Massage Treatment to Cure n Bullet
Wound In tho Thigh.
There were some peculiar and une X
planned features in the case Of Elizabeth
Inskeep VS.. ID. W. McKinzie, tried yesterday
before Judge Hunt and submitted almost
wholly on the testimony Of the plaintiff,
matronly looking woman and more garrulous
than the average OF her sex. She sued for
the recovery of S575 of which SIS was for
money loaned and the remainder for 80
days of nursing In August and December.

Mckenzie is a miner and at the time in
question received. as he said, In Amador, in
q drunken 5rawl. a bullet wound in the
thigh. Mrs. Inskeep, without knowing the
character Of the wound, or that the bullet
was still in the thigh and had shattered the
bone, undertook to cure him, making q
speciality of massage. OF course she did not
cure him and he afterward went to the Ger.
man Hospital. The money loaned, she said,
was to buy mining pans and also to nourish
himself properly. particularly in the drink
ing Of porter.
When the case was called for trial yester-
day the defendants attorney asked
for continuance, saying that he
had not heard from his client since
two weeks ago, when he was in
Alameda. This was not considered a suffi-
cient showing. and the trial went on In the
absence OF the defendant. In his defense
an attempt was made to show contract Of
mo cure. no pay" and that her charges are
exorbitant. considering that she did not
even know what she was treating or mas
saying her patient for.
James Morgan. mining man who was
well acquainted with the defendant, testified
that Mckenzie told him that Mrs. Inskeep
had saved his life. and he highly recon-
msnded her as massage artist No other
