New Orleans has another carnival OF
sport en- its hands. II fact, there are
two flstic tournaments in prospect for
the coming week. one following close
Upon the heels OF the other. There is
division OF intoi est in the Crescent City.
and the old olympic Club has perhaps
a little the best OF It in the coming con-
test OF public favor and the public's purse.
March LIST. %, Sd and Sth are red let
ter carnival days. and coming as they
do 30 quickly in the wake OF the Marii
Gras festivities. there are those who have
already moved to change the name Of
New Orleans from the Crescent City TO
the pleasure-loving paris OF America
The Dawson-Ryan fight is the first one
on the programme. 1t is for a 5000 purse,
and both men are in the pink Of condition.
George Dawson is an Australian. with
spiendid string of home victories. But he
has strengthened his hold on the Ameri-
can public by the manner in which he
won two brisk contests out on the Coast.
On July 10Th, last year, ne won q $500
purse put up by the California Athletic
Club for fight between him and Danny
Needham. The battle lasted twenty-nine
rounds. and Dawson proved himself

could have won earlier IN the game had
be stretched his powers TO the utmost.
In December he defeated O'Connell as
easily. and then thu Olympic Club made
sts offer for a fight between him and
Ryan. Tom Ryan Is n Chicago boy, with
\ record that must still be classed as pure
1y local. Notwithstanding the fact that he
holds the title Of champion OF America in
his class. But in all his contests he
evinced wonderful hitting power. and
agility that IS said TO be good deal like
that OF Corbett. and q rapidty of arm
movement that borders on the marvellous.
This. coupled with splendid power of en-
durance. completes the reason why Chi
cago sports are betting SO heavily on
their man. Both men are welterweights.

new Crescent City Club, which President
Noel has In charge. and will naturally
attract international attention. Both
men and their hackers resent the lmpu-

that the money will be pretty evenly

In this connection Il will be interesting TO
mark the wrestling rules that have been

rounds were needed TO finish the latter,

Goddard's last fight before the Coney

WHAT SCIENCE HAS DONE FOR
DEAFNESS.
Transmitting Sound To the Ear by the Use
OF Simp Device.

Transmitting Sound to the Ear by the Use
OF a Simple Device.
There is little doubt but what the treat
ment OF deafness has been revolutionized
by the invention OF Sound Discs. The de-
velOpment and growth OF the use OF this
device is phenomenal. and is well worthy
the attention II has received in medical
circles where II has been widely dis
cussed and most heartily approved. A
prominent physician has gone so far as
TO estimate that fully three-quarters Of
all the deafness which has been relieved
in the United States during the past two
years has been by the aid OF this instru-
ment: and he considers 1t an easy triumph
over this most distressing aHliction.
While the idea of such an instrument is
not strictly new. yet the restoration of
such large number Of desperate and
abandoned cases by its use has proven
II to be OF vastly more Importance than
was at first supposed. recent interview
with the inventor of the instrument. Mr.
II. s. Wales. who lives in Bridgeport.
Conn. discloses how the idea of such
an ingenious instrument first oc-
Cured 10 him. 1t was learned
that it was first suggested from
the fact that most people who suffer
from defective hearing. hear better in
noise. or in moving train, which is
caused by the increased vibration of the
ear. From this Mr.. Wales said he was
confident that he could invent a device
which could be worn with comfort by the
patient. and which would focus the small
er waves of sound on the drum-head,
thus increasing its vibration. and enabling
the patient to hear ordinary conversation
and public speaking. After many ex-
nHrirnQptQ he voI 80
thought has been the present device.
which must be an ideal one. as Il is
worn In the ear out OF sight for months
