If there was one man in college whom the
rajah thoroughly and heartily detested, it
was the captain of the boat club. He had
many faults; he was very tall and powerful
and delighted in contrasting tho English
physique with that of inferior races. by
which he meant, among others, the raiah's
race.
His manner was abrupt and overbearing.
his laugh loud and un,nusical. In fact he
grated horribly on the rajah. and it was
merely the final straw when in the exhila-
ration Of bump supper-full, as the raiah
remarked in disgust, of COW and strong

chaff "nigger." The rajah swore melo-

A GAME AND HARD BATTLE.

After three-round bout between Dawson

BOO members who were present at the Cali
fornia Athletic Clubs exhibition last night
witnessed a long finish fight between Char
ley Johnson Of ST. Paul and Robert Dobbs

pounds and were in fine condition 10 battle
for $1,000 purse.
The fight did not excite much interest for
several rounds. Johnson presented splen-
did guard, and to those who had never seen
him in battle he looked a very favorable
candidate for first money.
After fighting few rounds it was noticed
that johnson was very set in his movements
and slow to take advantage of openings
His blows were very stif1y delivered and
Dobbs found little difficulty in avoiding
them.
The colored fighter was very free in
action. and after having taken the measure
of his opponent he settled down 10 a system
of straight left-hand jabbing which in the
course Of time caused Johnson's lips TO en-
large. The latter's only good work was in
stopping Dobbs' left swings by straigbten-

essayed to lead. The stops which caught

both sides was done at close range, when

make the pace as hot as he could for the
white man. Dobbs took the tip and went

SO not for the latter that johnson. after re-
ceiylng several Furnishing left-handers on
the nose, ran around the ring to escape hot
shot. Dobbs did not follow, but invariably
waited until johnson returned to the
scratch.
The white man seldom led, but watched
his chances to plant his left glove On Dobbs'
mouth whenever the latter led. He sue
ceeded In sending D0bbs' head back several
times, but the latter finally found that a
change OF tactics would be to his interest,
and instead OF aiming at Johnson's face and
neck ne directed his blows at the latter's
stomach. This order Of battle Dobbs found
to be more effective and he continued to
swing both right and left into Johnson's
stomach whenever the opportunity offered.
Johnson did not take the aggressive part
at any time. Dobbs did the leading and
johnson the stopping, at which the latter
proved to be very clever.

mouth, and generally missed the mark. as

Street Line.

woman who lives on Broadway, near Hyde
street, was seriously injured by falling from

Mrs. Morel is employed as a laundress in
a downtown laundry, and came to this city
with her husband and family from Wood
land, Cal, two weeks ago.
The husband secured position as driver
OF bakery wagon, but his meager earnings
proved insufficient to support the family,
and although Mrs. Morel had young baby
to care for she was obliged to seek employ
ment.
When through with her days work,
shortly after o'clock last night, she boarded
car Al of the Jackson-street line.
She was seated on the dummy, and when
al the corner of Jackson and Leayenworth
streets the gripman started the car sud-
denly, throwing her from the seat to the
cobbles with great force.
The injured woman WAS picked up in an
unconscious condition by Policeman Norton
and carried to the North End police sta
ton, where the patrol wagon was summoned
and she was taken to the Receiving Hospi-
tai.
DR.. Simpson found that Mrs. Morel ad
