John Il. Lewis. the president and
manager OF The Ariel lub, has arrang.
Ell tor fifteen round bout between
Jack Smith, champion light-weight of
Virginia. and Edward Sweeney, the
light weight champion OF the
nsvy-yard. Following the meeting be-

the colored champion of Norfolk. and
Howard Wilson, the much talked about
"copper" tinted star" of Washington.
d. G,
AS matter of course the greatest IN :
terests center in the Smith. Sweeney
bout. Both men are game aud clever.
Sweeney is the heavier of tho two, but
what Smith lacks III weight he more
than makes up in courage aud clever
ness. Sweeney is a boxer of the
Mysterious Smith" type.
His opponent, Jack Smith, has n
large following, and will not lack for
friends when he enters the ring. He
halls from New York, and in the
opinion of some of the best critics ia
this corner Of the world, is ono OF the
coming men" in the business, This
much Is certain. If Smith gains the de.
clsiop to night he will at ouce challenge
the champion i'll his class. Men who
will back their opinion with cold, hnrd
cash are willing to back him against
any of the "craok jacks"
The meeting OF Boston Boy nud
Howard Wilson will not be lacking in
interest, for both the colored lighters
are strong and clever.
MIR. Lewis will referee both "pos"
and this means that tue boxing will he
properly conducted.
The entertainment will begin prompt

The English Golden Club Reports on the
Changes Caused by Election.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE report OF the
committee of the Golden club which Is
to be read to-day will declare that the
change brought about by the recent
general elections Is calculated to slim
ulate the club to fresh vigilance.
While the direct adversely OF
protection doctrines was less con.
spicuous during the election Of 1895
than in 1886, there are elements in the
new parliament which demand special
watchfulness in the interest Of free

agriculture the report will say not b.
ing that is so likely to hinder and
defer u satisfactory and permanent so.
solution of the problem as reopening
the question in revival Of the debate
on protection on foreign and colonial
agriculture and other produce. There
will be an allusion to the important
Ottawa conference in the economics Of
commerce, the outcome Of which, it Is
asserted, must help In the direction OF
free exchange all over the world.
The report concludes with the state.
ment that the history of the tariff
question abroad during the last fifteen
or twenty years affords no special
cause for disagreement at the
present time and will as
sert that from almost every quarter
