BOXING.
Two Clever Pugilists Matched for a
United Contest.


1t is some years since the famous light
weight pugiltst, Jack McAuliffe, appeared
In this city in contest to finish. Men,
bers of the old California Club will re-
member for many moons McAuliffe's great
battle with the veteran Jimmy Carroll.
Indeed. there have been few battles where
there was such great science and general
ship displayed as in this memorable con-
test. McAuliffe took an easy course of
training, because he was imbued with the
idea that Carroll was soft mark. and
that he. McAuliffe. did not need TO be in
tip-top trim TO put the boxing Instructor OF
the California Club into dreamland when
ever lie pleased to accomplish that end.
McAuliffe's backer and trainer remon-
strated with the crackerjack of the light
weights and continually kept him in mind
that Carroll was far better man than he
appeared when he faced the champion on
the other side of the mountains previous TO
his departure for the Pacific Coast. No,
McAullffe could not be made believe any
such thing. He argued that Carroll was
growing too old and must be on the retro
grade; consequently he could not see into
the advisability of losing too much good

A NEW IDEA.
There Is Something New Un-
 der the Sun.
A Scheme for Bicycles That Will Make the Wheels Fairly Fly
 and No Work.

By the Associated Press.
 NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-E. P. Holly, of Providence, has invented hydraulic bicycle, which he claims can go at twice the speed of the present racing machines. A local expert describes it as follows; "The invention consists of small motor three inches high. This contains pint of liquid connected by pipes with small pump. The pump in turn is connected with an eccentric to which the pedals of the machine is fastened. A gear run by the power generated by the motor turns upon a second gear. This arrangement takes the place of the chain sprocket on the rear wheel of bicycles as at present con- structed. One beauty of the whole at tachment is it's ightness. It is con- structed largely of aluminium and weighs only three pounds. Water can be used in the motor in warm weather and mixture of alcohol and glycerine in cold weather. The liquid makes a circuit of the bicycle, being forced by the pump into the motor and then car ried by pire back to the pump, which is of the double action variety.
 The inventor has applied for patent and also secured a manufacturer who IS now constructing bicycle on the lines laid down. It is claimed that every pressure on the pedals will have twice the effect of chain driving wheels.
