dodge to avoid all kinds of blows.
Needham managed TO crawl out of a dan
gerous place and made vicious lunge at
Smiths mouth. which he missed, as his fist
went shooting over Smiths neck; the latter
got his shoulder under Needham's arm and
raising his body quickly he pitched the Oak
lander on his face and hands. Cries of

chorkful of fight and anxious 10 whip his
opponent right off the reel
After few rounds it was seen that the
pace was entirely too hot for the man who
gave Dawson such a hard fight.
He looked distressed and disguised when
lie noticed the little effect his blows had on
the new lightweight star.
Every round was fought alike. Smith
was willing TO take punch aud return the
compliment with double interest. He
punched Needham several hard rights over
the kidneys during close engagements.
The ninth round was very exciting.
Needham made desperate attempt to meet
smith at his own game. and it was give and
take, when Needham was sent to the floor
from the force of right smash on the law
lie was up in few seconds and sent down
again by smash On the neck. The next
time he was pushed down and on regaining

Smith over the left eye an awful smash.
The blow daZed the Bostonian for second.

lnfuriated steer, and sent the 0aklander 10

gone. Smith was as strong as a young buIl-
dog and looked as if he wanted an oppor-
tunity to try his teeth on his opponents
ear. In his desperate attempts to land on
Needham's jaw he wasted many blows on
the air.
The fourteenth round settled the Oak
lander's hopes of packing off the long end of
the purse. Smith fought more wickedly
than ever, and under the rain of blows
Needham went down several times and was
finally counted out.
Smith danced around the ring as II he had
just gone through little bag exercise. He
was not In the least distressed, and the only
marks he carried to prove that he had peen
nghting were lump over his left eye and
slightly swollen mouth.
Needham was badly punched about the
body and retired broken-hearted man.

Up on the crest of the hills the two
rhymers sat down and talked about multi
tude OF things. Riley told stories about
Nye. about Eugene Field, about Walt.
Whitman, about Whittier and Holmes and
a host of other celebrated people whom he
had met. and finally Miller led him off TO
lunch.
Roast duck was the principal feature OF
the bill of fare, and Miller waded into them
in the most unpoetic fashion imaginable.
Il never sit at the head of the table" he
said, "but think of my last visit to Mark
Twain at Hartford. Twain did the honors,
and we had chicken on the table.

piled, but guess | can mutilate this bird

Finally the conversation drifted around
to journalism. and Miller intimated that be
was going to write an article on newspaper
men.
"What do you know" he asked. 'about
the editors Of Cincinnati p'
well, don't think very much of their
papers," was Riley's reply. "Ihey used to
be good. but they are not fit to wrap liver in
now. l never buy one when l am on

around TO see IF | am being watched"
Lunch over, Riley babe goOd-by TO the

over what he had seen and heard.

VOTING BY MACHINERY.

The Myers System Severely Tested in a
Found to Work Admirably-Economy,
Safety and Secrecy of Ballots.
LoCKPoRT, n. Y, April 1.-THE town
of Lockport used the Myers voting machine
at its annual election to-day. There were
three tickets in the field, besides ballots for
and against several appropriations. The
novelty of the voting by machine brought
out very large number of voters, but not
withstanding the severity of the test the re-
suit was most remarkable The voting pro-
gressed rapidly from the start, and nothing
but praise has been heard from any voter
The polls opened at $50 A. NJ The prep
aration of the machine and opening Of the
polls, including the adjustment of the me-
chanical counter at zero, which Is the
equivalent of the empty ballot box, occu-
pied but a few moments. The early
voting was done rapidly, the time occupied
by each voter ranging from 8 to IL seconds,
while the general average throughout the
day was probably 20 seconds. The total
number of votes polled was 440 The polls
closed at precisely $50 P. NJ, and the actual
votes polled and the number which each
candidate received were instantly exposed
by opening the locked and sealed sliding
doors. Five minutes later the result was
transcribed to the return tally sheets.
Among the demonstrated advantages of
the new system are its economy, as it re-
quires only two inspectors, one acting as
doorkeeper of the machine and the other
keeping the record or poll list 1t affords
absolute secrecy, and it is practically i'm
possible to falsify the returns. The machine
used to-day is the one that Mr. Myers has
exhibited at various places during tho past
two years. 1t has recorded over 132, 900
votes, and has not yet been broken or made
an error.

tions indorsing the provisions of the Nc

heartily approved of. A resolution was
also passed indorsing the candidacy of

luton to change from the present method

lar vote system, was offered, and passed,
and the Chair instructed to appoint COM
mittee to prepare rules to govern primaries
