There the loved and lost are sleeping,

Oh! We laid her there in sadness,
While our hearts were filed with pain,
But we know that in the morning,
We shall meet her once again.
Death has taken many loved one,
From our homes and fond embrace,
But the hour of joy is coming,
When well meet them face TO face.
Healing balm for wounded spirits,
For the Lord will soon appear,
And within His glorious Kingdom,
We shall meet our friend SO dear.
Where the angels bright are singing,
Where no sorrow e'er can come,
We shall meet our cherished loved one
In the bright. eternal home.

Dixon and Pierce i'm Good Condition
and Both Eager for the Fray.
The battle between George Dixon and
Eddie Pierce for the feather-weight cham
pionship of the world and a purse of $500,
which will occur al the Coney Island Ath-
lectic Club tonight, is the all absorbing
theme of conversation among the sports
men of New York, Boston, Brooklyn, Phila-
delphia and Washington.
Dixon will be esauired by Tom O'Rourke.
young Mitchell and Jack Havlin. Jimmie
Carroll will act as bottle holder. Mike
In Pierce's corner will be his counsellor
and friend, Johnny White. Dan Caulfield
and Mike Haley. Jim Lavelle will keep
time. while some friend will look after the
bottle.
People competent to Judge predict that
the battle win be one OF the grandest that
has ever been fought at the island 1t will
be bitterly. magnifcently contested from
the moment both lads step to the center of
the ring and cross arms. II will undoubt-
edy be Dixon's plan of action to keep away
from his man for few rounds and thor
oughly feel him. Those who know Eddie
Pierce say that the pride of the Nonpareil
will not permit of this His game. they I'M
hesitatingly proclaim. will be to keep close
to Dixon all the time and not give him a
moment to think. He will keep the lad
with the cafe au lait complexion busy from
the drop of the flag.
Dixon, however, is magnificent tao
tician, and may be able to keep away from
Pierce until he has the Nonpareil weary
AID then strive to polish him of at his
leisure.
