be the general impression that such a con.
test could easily be pulled off without any
Interference. But the authorities would
not stand contest tn a finish.
The Suffolk Athletic Club was organ
lied January 81, 1892, 1t is made up OF 400
sturdy, athletic young fellows, man =
OF whom are wealthy, many not SO well
fixed, a nd all thoroug hbreds. Their iirst
public exhibition was held in the Casino
Building in '93, when Tommy Connolly, w
matched to fight George Dixon, bested
Dan McKinnon. Some other notable con
tests SO managed by the club were contests
between Peter Aaher and Jim Hall for a

Mccoy aud Jack wilkes, which resulted
in an easy win for Mccoy; Dick O'Brien
and Mccoy, draw of twenty-five rounds
for 81 500 purse, and other mernora ble
battles. In track athletes the suffolks
hold the championship of New England,
their crack team being made up Of Tom
Keane, w. j. Holland, A. N. Remington,
aud Frank Rowe. In '93 the club had 500
entries in open events, winning about
$50 points. These included the winning
Of the New England championship by
Tommy Keane at 44O and 22O yards
Charles H. Bean won whe five-mile cham
pionship.
Bean also won the two-mile handicap
at the Worlds Fair, where a team of
Suffolk athletes competed. In 81 the
Suffolk Athletic Club again proved its
power as q winning organization, for
in addition to making a large total OF
winning points, Keane and Bean defeated
America s greatest runners for the national
44O-yadrs aud five-mile champions hips,
respectively.
Among the star athletes now mem bers
of the club are Tom Keane, Charles II.
Bean, James n. Rushw worth, oue-mile
champion of New England; Tom Watson,
champion pole vaulter of England; who
now resides in Boston; Phil Stinge]l, cham
pion high jumper, and many others. The
present officers are Al c. Bowling, the
well-known amateur sculler, president;
Grover Watts, vice president; r. P. Russell,
secretary; James A. Doyle, treasurer; B.
Kempton, captain; L. stingel, lieutenant.
and Hubert Knowles, second lieutenant.
Nelse Innes, whose picture is in the group,
always with the Suffolk, did more than
any other one man to make the club known
throughout the country.
But when all this is said and done the suf-
folk Club is being recognized as the greatest
patron OF boxing there is In the country. In
Dallas the athletic club will win temporary
renown, but when the great battles have
been decided 1t will, in all probability, go
out of existence. The Suffolk Club will
stay for many years to come. James W.
westcott, one of the best-known sporting
men in the country, is the matchD aker for
the club. He is preparing for great sea-
son OF sport.

the club proposes to manage In August

rounds as we now see III the first fifteen
or twenty seconds OF the most ordinary
contest. But it pleased the people. They
cheered Denny all through the fight, and
thought he did remarkably well.
Their exhibitions began to be badly con-
Quoted and brutal. 1t became a case OF
slug from the word go. During one win
ter there were at least twenty public
slugging exhibitions in either one or
the other of the halls mentioned above.
That killed the sport in Boston. Not
only did the Boston city council inter-
fere, but also the Massachusetts Legis-
lature. The direct cause of this legis-
lative enactment was fight between
Billy Edwards, then the champion light
weight pugilist of America, and local
boxer. 1t resulted n'their both rolling off
the platform to the floor, where they con-
tinued their fight, one on top OF the other.

was the old Crib Club, which is yet in

was the president of.the club. Here all the
great boxers of the country have appeared.
Sullivan Knocked oD its doors in his early
manhood and was refused admittancc until
he had first made; his reputation as
boxer. Poor Jack Dempsey, whose mind
seems to be breaking fast, also appeared
at the club as wrestler long before he
began his career as boxer. He was great
wrestler, but he himself frequently declared
he could not whip wooden man with the
gloves. Yet he afterward became the
greatest light and middle-weight pugilist
this country has ever seen. Jake Kilrain
got his first start from OReilly, and for
quite long time was the boxing instructor
of the club. Isaac O'Neil Wier also made
his first appearance in the stuffy room

Their Plans.

Justice McComas, of the supreme court
of the District, returned to the city yes
terday, and after remaining for n few
hours started for Tennessee. He will re-
turn by the 18th instant, when he will
relieve Judge Cole, who is now serving
his two weeks term as summer judge.
The latter will then take his much.
needed vacation. In his efforts to dis
pose of all the cases now pending on his
hands, Judge Cole has not had a minutes
rest since the courts adjourned for the
summer He has not yet decided where he
will go.
Chief Justice Bingham is spending a
quiet summer at Union, Mon roe County, Va.
Judge Cox hurried to Hot Springs, Va,
as soon as his judicial duties were ended,
and he will remain there until the tor
rid season is at an end.
Judge Bradley was one of the first
justices to leave the city, and Re will not
return until next month. After spending
July in Names bracing air he yesterday
took a cottage at Mohonk Lake, N. Y,
where he expects to remain until his re-
turn to Washington.
Justice Hagner has not yet left the city.
