suggesting that it be removed. The fixture,
including everything Of value, was re-
moved and turned over TO the custody Of
the Illinois Naval Militia. leaving nothing
but the brick portion which was stand.
ing in the water.
The park commissioners were anxious
to clean up the park and wrote To me
about the removal of the debris. / in
formed them there was no money avail
able for removing the brick, and as it
had no value the property would not repay
the expense OF handling it.
Il told the park commissioners if they
wanted to get rid of the brick to go ahead.
'.If McAdoo wants the ship tell him to

NOTES ABOUT THE BONERS.

Dave Beckett, who halls from Fairmont,
W. Va, is in Washington. Dave is a boxer,
and beat young Tyler, of this city, about
year ago. He is here on another boxing
mission. His acquaintances say that he
is quite willing to go against any 122
FOUNDER in these parts, and he Is ready to
furnish quite "a side bet that would prove
comforting during the cold weather near
at hand, if there is any one around these
dig gings who can win il.
Young Lane, the east end boxer seems
to have stirred up all of the young men in
that section who are ambitious for ring
notoriety. They are all after him. Tim
Murphy is now said TO be on Lanes trail.
Tim is 115 FOUNDER, and is rated as a
mighty good one. Recently he met Young
Gowan, whom many looked upon as a
conner In pugillstic circles, and put him out
in four rounds.
Billy Mcmillan is making arrangements
to open boxing school in Georgetown
The falling through of the bout between
Joe Bateman and johnny Glynn has left the
washington boy out of a good many dollars
in lost time and training expenses, and his
friends are working up benefit for him.
The affair is to AXE place at Forest Hall in
Georgetown next week. A number of fboxers
have been asked to give their a i'd and nearly
all have expressed their Willingness to
do SO.
Pat Raedy called at The Times office yes
terday and asked that the statement be
made for him that he is willing to match
with any man in the District of Columbia
a { catch weights, and if he docs not put an

man can take gate receipts and all. Pat
said that this def applied especially to
Billy Mcmillan and Hite Peckham.
The bout between George Dixonand young
Griffo before the Manhattan Athletic Club
on Monday night is creating good deal of
interest everywhere. The pair are to
spar ten rounds. They dislike one another
about as heartily as two men can, and there
will be a finish il either can get in right.
Mayor Ludlam, OF Sea Isle City. has
placed himself on record as not being op-
posed to boxing in limited round bouts, as
long as the exhibitions are conducted in a
quiet, orderly manner. Some very lively
scraps have taken place at this resort. A
dozen clean, cold knock-outs have occurred
there In the past year or more.
Denver Ed. Smith, who gained some no.
toriety by accidentally whipping Joe God
dard. but about whom very little has been
heard since, has turned up at Jacksonville.

there. and comes 10 the front once more with
the declaration that he il ready to fight any
man In the world.

the valedictory.
Last evening Gen. Dickinson stated def
nitcly that he would not submit the case
without argument, and that he would argue
the case to-day. He acknowledges that he

The difficulty is that Deuprcy was to take
up certain lines of testimony If he is
well enough he viii argue ON Monday, but
