BOXING BOUTS TO CLOSE
Manager Herman Kill Give No More
After This Week.
Popular Exhibitions of Fistic Science
Stopped-Many Clever Events
II That Have Occurred.

The boxing bouts, with which Manager
Herman has been fayoring local lovers
Of the fistic sport, viii be brought to a
close at the LyceUm on Saturday night
The reasons which have brought about
this action are not financial in character
as 1t is stated, the exhibitions have been
attended by gratifyingly large audiences.
II is also due Manager Herman and Man
ager Stewart, who has suparintended every
set-to, to state that the ''go's" have no
been Of that brutal character, which, in
other cities, calls for the interference of
the police, and the best order has always
been preserved by the patrons ofthe Lyceum.
There has, however, been some opposition
TO the contests and in Difference to this and
owing. also, to the fact that the weather is
rather hot for pugilistic performances, Man
ager Herman has decided 10 stop the exhibi-
tions this week.
Manager Stewart, who came over from
Baltimore TO look after his bouts, has proved
that as a matchmaker he is an expert.
Nearly all OF the contestants have been
well paired, and not once has the au-
dience gone away disappointed. Among
the best contests Were those between
Joe Cans and Fred wigert, Jack Daily and
Billy Paine, and Joe Bateman and Johnny
Ban.
The absence of anything approaching
brutality has been one OF the principal at
fractions. This is almost entirely due TO
the clever management. which has aimed
1t displays Of science rather than brute
Itrength.
The bout tonight viii be between Johnny
Ball, OF New York. aud ice Burnett. The
latter has fought q thirty -thfeeround
draw with Howard Wilson, and as he
is ten pounds heavier than Bail, should
prove a good card. BAH has record of
Elxty-one rounds with Sol English.

The Other Lee.

The visit Of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has
started story which lie told on himself
several years ago, and which is good
illustration of the love the Confederate
soldiers bore toward Gen. Robert E. Lee
As is well known, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was
at the head OF the cavalry, and these were
much envied by the infantry men, who had
to walk through the mud and dust.
After Gen. Robert Z. Lee had surrendered
Gen. FitZhugh Lee rode away from Apo
mattox While riding through a lane he
met an old North Carolina soldier
''Ho, therel" cried Gen. Lee. Where
are you going?"
i've been off on a furlough, and am now
going back 10 join Gen. Bob Lee," replied
the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can throw
your gun away and return home, for Lee S
surrendered
Lees suTrendered?"
That's what l said" said Gen. Lee.
at must have been that d Fitz Lee,
then Bob would never surrender" and
the soldier put on look of contempt and
walked on.-Louisville Courier-Journal

BUILDING A SAILBoAT.


Sharpie with Centerboard.
The amateur boat builder and the
fast sailing boat are two poles rathe,
far apart. But as there can be no harm
In trying an experiment which may
after several essays bring success, here
are the directions as clearly as can be
given in black and white.
The easiest and fastest boat to build
is modification Of the skip Jack = or
sharpie. The dimensions should be.
Length over all II feet, greatest beam
(Which should be placed at II feet for
ward) 4 feet inches; the sail yard or
boom should be IS feet long and the
mast 10 feet inches, stepped is inches
from the stem.
This boat will have mean depth
from gunwale to keel of a bout d inches.
The keel should be Of oak, 10 inches
wide and ~ inches thick, the side
planks being IS inches wide and Nsof
an inch thick, IS feet long.
Lay the keel on its broad side on two
carpenters horses, and brace it bv
blocks to'hold It firm, and then proceed
as II to make rowboat
Mortice on to the keel the stem, which
should be of oak, cut out of a sskneeo
and tapped on to the keel, strength
ening it by inside braces of deadwood
Then make three temporary frames
u .l-inch pine and nail them at the
greatest beam and other equal dis
'ances toward the stern, marking on
zach the middle line of the boat to cor
'espond with center of keel.
Hold these in place by strip of wood
laiied from the stem to the stern piece.
Which latter should be of 2-inch oak
ut INTO the accepted shape for boats
tern. Then start the planking process.
'hlch is where the test of ability comes
Mark off on the stem, the three molds.
nd the stern, the number Of planlss
hich must be used to raise the sides
10 ~ inches from the keel, and then
IKE them one by one and grade their
10Th in the proportion required To Al
'ug, which will leave them narrowest
the stem, widest amidships. and
saln tapering at the stem.
Take the first plank and fit it into a
oove made in the keel, then nail It to
I'm and stern, following with another
INK which should be closely morticed

first onset his horse was knocked
down, and in the fall the riders right

the flesh by piece meals from the bone.
While thus PROSTATE and IN the strug-

ran away.
The wounded man then dragged
himself through the field in the burn

in the evening. Physicians were called
and next morning the lacerated and
heshless leg was amputated. hut the
injuries were too great, and he died
