BOXING TOURNAMENT OFF.

ciutiOu.

citation.
The big inter-city boxing tournament,
which was to have come off in Boston next
Jan rary has been declared off by the Bos-
ton Athletic Association. At this meeting
it " a., proposed, as was the case last year,
to put the best amateur boxers to be found
In New England, in the various classes,
against q team selected by the Chicago
Athletic Association.
The action of the committee Is a recogni-
ton of the precarious condition Of boxing
in Boston. In view of the fact that the
police commissioners are opposed to all
public boxing shows, and that the new
legislature is liable to enact more stringent
laws governing the public conduct of this
sport, the s. A. A. governors have de-
cided that though they might hold their
tournament under the guest ticket SYSTEM
it Is best to await developments before CIV
ing any more tournaments.

Base Ball News and Comment.

Base Ball News and Comment.
In the circuit court at st. Louis yesterday
afternoon jury gave President Chris Won
der Abe of the ST. Louis Browns judgment
for 81, 704.5O against the National Base Ball
Club of this city. The suit dates back to
1891. In the fight between the league and
the American Association a number of the
association managers agreed to support
club to divide patronage in Cincinnati. The
club failed, and Won der Abe called upon
the other association club owners to make
good their share of the losses. The Wagners
denied liability, but as the obligation was a
debt of the Washington club, which the
Wagner brothers bought from Messrs. Scan
Ion, Bennett and others, the present owners
of the club have been adjudged liable in st.
Louis.
Have 1 heard from the New York peo-

me, he has got to come after me, and if he

tract, will just say, I am not ready to sign
Just yet, SO you had better go on about your

Capt Buck Ewing believes that the Gin
cinnati team with the addition of a first
class outiielder and a top-notch catcher
will be strong enough to take good posi-
ton very early in next seasons race and
stay there to the end. In conference be-
tween the Reds captain and President
Brush and Mr.. Lloyd at the recent league
meeting, Buck when asked what the team
needed took pains to impress this fact on
those in charge of the finances of the club
President Brush and Treasurer Lloyd told
the captain that if money would secure what
he desired 1t would not be wanting.

Mr.. Barnato, according to Mr. Stuart
Cumberland. In the African Critic. Is full
of homely maxims, most of which he
started with in life. One of them is:
"Never let man put his hand on you with
Out giving him what for and always have
the first hit" Another Is: You have no
right to spoil another mans game, as long
as he plays 1t cleverly; he will expose him
self soon enough when he ceases to be
clever at It." Yet two more: Never play
the game above the peoples heads, but as
they think they understand it; you have a
bit in hand every time them" and, Always
wind up with a good curtain, and bring it
down before the public gets tired or mas
had time to find you out" These should be
interesting in the city.

the price to get Them" was President
Brushs instruction.

Said Jack Doyle recently: Il am scheduled
for Baltimore, but there will have TO be
several important steps taken before III
agree to the transfer"
ITO what do You allude?
ITO the fines that were taken away from
me early in the season. Freedman told me
to go ahead and kick whenever thought 1t
was necessary and that he would Fay all
the fines. 1 thought he was a lnan of his
word. and 1 was fin I'd $3.50 for standing up
for the rights of the team. George Davis
and yale" Murphy will both swear that
they heard Freedman tell me that he would
pay all my fines. In spite of this promise
freedman waited until the last pay day.
Then. when l went to get my check, he
laughed at me and told me there was moth
Ing coming to me. 1 asked him how he made
that out. He told me that the $3.50 in fines
had been taken out of my salary. When 1
naturally protested against his action as an
outrage he threatened to have his big police
man throw me out. If he had been on the
level do you think he would have waited
until the last pay day to take fines out? Not
en- your life. He would have taken them
out as fast as they were assessed. He owes
me the fines, and he'll have to settle before

LETTER FROM ABROAD.
ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.

Since writing you on the twelfth,
we have been very busy sightseeing,
and l will try to give you brief
outline of our doings since Friday
last. Saturday morning we went to
Aldershot and saw the Queen and
twelve thousand English troops. The
weather was delightful, and it is said
over twelve thousand spectators as.
sembled on Laffans Plain to witness
the spectacle. At about half past
eleven the Queen, accompanied by
other members of the Royal Family,
arrived at the reviewing stand. There
was a Royal salute, and all the bands
played the National Anthem. A
grand charge of the cavalry up to the
saluting point was particularly fine.
We were very fortunate to have had
places less than twenty feet from the
Queen, and thus saw not only the re-
view, but the Queen herself, which is
a rare privilege. She is small, be-
nign old lady, with gray hair, and
IOOkS SAdClly Inc thS SOON PlStuiS 10
we have seen of her.
Saturday afternoon we visited the
Houses of Parliament have not
time, nor space, in letter, to even
attempt a partial description. The
next day we drove to Rotten Row
and sat in Hyde Park to see the
throng of fashionable people pass.
We also drove through Whitechapel
From eight to twelve we sat at a din
ner given by one of our party to the
rest of us and to some other Amerl'
cans, whom we have met. One ol
the latter was Mr.. Jefferson Levy, a
most charming Virginian, the present
owner Of Monticello.
To-day, Monday, we visited St
Pauls Cathedral, the Temple Church
built II48 A. d., by the Crusaders
and the grave of Oliver Goldsmith
We also visited the Inn of Court
where we saw Chief Justice Lord
Charles Russell, and heard severa
cases tried.
We started this morning as guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. K, the former
of whom is, as l told you, the City
editor of one of the Philadelphia
Dailies, and rode on the train from

with nothing else. What the city wants
is a commission for managing each de-

after the first election, two of these Com
sioners should 80 out of Office and nave
their successors elected every two years.
These Commissioners should then choose

The Commissioners would have an album

NEW ETGISTHATION.

The point made by a correspondent OF
The Times in yesterdays issue that the
Leeislatura should provide for an en-
tirely new registration Of voters is a good
one The registration books have many
thousands of names on them that rep
resent men who have died, OF
r'en who hevc moved rom me
procinct. When We are examining
the registration books AT Smither's pre-
cinct at the time we exposed the inia-
nous frauds that had been perpetrated
there we found the registration books
loaded down with names that cid not rep
resent voters The true white vote there
was something like 2o0. while. if our rec
objection serves us Alright there were
more than 1.2to names on the registration
book A thing Of This sort is of course a
shelter tent for fraud.
Smither's precinct is in the suburbs OF
Richmond. and The case there is naturally
worse than in many other places. NO
doubt there are many precincts in the
rural districts where the registration
books contain few names without voters.
A general registration. however. would
do no harm. But it should certainly be
Lad in all the cities and towns.
