An effort was made yesterday to rent
tue Eureka Clubhouse for the Glynn-Baie-
man meeting, but as yet no definite ar
rangeInent has been made. 1t Is said that
tue present managers of the Eureka Club
are not inclined TO have much OF a noise
made in their neighboriiood just now.
Things down around Richmond uon't look
promising, but in quarters where huge
hunks of information are supposed To De
lodged it is said thai as long Us the
club runs its shows in an orderly and re-
spectacle way, and does not GO beyond
limited round contests, there will be ~
interference with them.

who its members and leading spirits are
Some say il is made up cotcrIe or
well-kDown, weil-to-io, very respectable

be their love for the manly art. Others
say that the club is made up OF number
of sporting men who are here doing BUSH

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 5.-Rev, C. /. Scho-
field last night rendered his resignation
as pastor of the First Congregational
Church, he having accepted the Charge Of
the church at Mortified, Mass.
This appointment carries with it the
position Of leader in a young mems train
ing class of ninety persons, and also the
Biblical instruction OF 500 students in the
Moody School, at NOrthfieid.
To large extent Rev. Mr.. Schofield's
sudden resignation is identified with the
suppression of prize fighting in Dallas.
He was the most active member Of the
Dallas Pastors Association, which So en-
ergetically made war on the Curbett-Fitz-
simmons and other matches scheduled at
Dallas.
His attitude was not by any means salts
factory to the more conservative mem-
bers of his congregation from among the
business men of Dallas, and a change OF
pastorates is one of the sequels.,
