Division No. 7. City.

At the regular meeting of Division
No. of this city on the 18th inst, the
newly-elected officers were duly installed
by County President O'Connor, and was
one of the best attended meetings of this
division. Too much credit cannot be
given James Lyons, our retiring presi-
dent of No. Z, for his untiring efforts in
the advancement OF our division. Our
meetings are always we'll attended. So
far as parliamentary study is concerned
No. can give pointers to some of our
older divisions. Some of our bright
lights of today are students of Our lite
rary and debating societies. We have a
social and literary society in our divi-
sion and have program for each meet
Ing. Under the good and welfare of the
order it covers large field. If you find
there is lack of interest in your diyi-
sion something is wrong somewhere.
Get your members interested in your
meetings. Our county board should see
that we have program for each dfyi-
sion. We have all the talent we need
in this city. Also get the public inter-
ested in what you are doing, and new
members will come, for people always
like to have place in any undertaking
that is popular.
Whilewe are putting forth every effort
to obtain new members, let us not forget
that it is equally important to retain the
membership we already have.

THE FIGHT A DRAW.
Kid Mcfarland and Jack Everhardt Met
In New York for Twenty Rounds.

Kid Mcfarland and Jack Everhsrdt Met
In New York for Twenty Rounds.
New YORK, March 31.-After a fierce
battle at the Broadway Athletic Club last
night the referee decided the twenty
round bout between Jack Everhardt of
New Orleans and Kid Mcfarland OF this
city draw.
In the seventeenth round the Kid should
have got the fight on foul, as one of
Everhardt's seconds came into the ring
while the men were clinched. but Mozart
land fouled Jack two or three times by hit
ting below the belt in the same round.
Everhardt and Mcfarland got into the
ring at 1890. The men weighed in at 1876
pounds. They started at a rapid pace.
Mcfarland put couple of light blows on
the neck and was dangerously low with
left swing.
Everhardt raised a mouse on McPart-
lands right eye in the third, and jabbed
the Kid on the nose in the fourth, but a
stiff uppercut and couple of punches on
the wind steadied Jack.
Mcfarland had the better of the fifth
with hard body blows, two of which, how
ever, were very low, and Everhardt APP
pealed to the referee, who cautioned the
Kid. The sixth was rather tame.
The referee again cautioned Mcfarland
in the seventh about hitting low.
Mcfarland smashed his left hard half
dozen times on face and jaw in the six
teenth, and Jack commenced to hug.
The seventeenth was a series of fierce
mix-ups, in which the referee was con-
stantly struggling between the men, and
Everhardt's seconds burst into the ring,
but were ordered back. The Kid fouled
Jack repeatedly in the clinches, hitting
him below the belt.
Everhardt rushed matters In the nine
teenth, but was met squarely on the jaw
twice. Jack danced to his corner after
forcing matters for the rest Of the round.
Everhardt did all the leading In the last
round, but the Kid sent back his blows
with interest till the bell rang. There
were loud cries for Mcfarland, but the
referee declared 1t q draw.

THE HIGH ROLLERS.
Mixcd-up' Condition of the Interstate
Bowling League.

Mixcd-uP' Condition of the Interstate
Bowling League.
The mixed-up state of things In the In
terstate Bowling League will probably be
brought to head this week.
Two games are down for this week that
will narrow the leadership to two teams.
On Wednesday night the Auditoriums are
booked TO bowl the Casinos i'm Attleboro
and the Attleboro No. and North Attle-
boro are to bowl In this city. Unless for
postponement or tie the end of the week
will find two clubs ready to play of for
first place and money.
But here arises another question. Tom
pers, the big bowler of the Auditoriums,
fell of his bicycle yesterday and severely
injured his kDeecap. II the injury Is as
serious as reported he will not be able
TO bowl for two weeks. II is not likely
the Auditoriums will want to bowl with
out their strongest man.
Al the same time the rules on which the
league was established commands that the
games must be concluded this week or
next. II Will be further argued that in

cially when he entered the ring in con
ditiOn. Tom Sayers, for instance, was a
midd,eweight and fought at from 143 to
154 pounds. After he defeated Aaron
Jones he had to give all his opponents
from 10 TO 90 pounds, and in his 10 bat
ties he WIS only once defeated, and then
by Nat LanghaIn, a middleweight. When
Sayers fought Bill Perry, the latter was 2S
pounds heavier than Sayers and several
inches taller, and just az clever. Sayers
weighed $50 pounds, Perry 178 pounds
Perry was backed heavily on the differ
enco in weight but Sayers won In hour
and As minutes. Sayers weighed 154
pounds, the middlcweight limit, when he
fought John c. Heenan for the champion
ship Of the world on April IL, 1860 Hee-
nan was taller and weighed 100 pounds,
and although the battle was protracted
struggle, 1t ended In draw.
Jem Mace, when champion Of Engla nd
and In his prime, was middleweight
When he fought Tom King, the latter
weighed 1S4 pounds, Mace IS? pounds
Mace won. Again, Mace weighed 1854
pounds when he fought Sam Hurst for the
championship Of England. Hurst was
more than feet in height and weighed
eco pounds, and yet Mace won In min
utes and 80 seconds. Joe Coburn, when
he fought Mike McCoole at St. Louis in
1863 for the championship OF America,
weighed $50 pounds, while McCoole
weighed $50 pounds. Jcm Mace, when he
defeated Tom Allen, May 10, 1870, at
Kenncr, Ia, for the championship of the
world, weighed 1b4 pounds, while Allen
weighed ia pounds. When he defeated
John l.. Sullivan, Corbett weighed only
ia pounds, while the former champion
weighed mt least geo pounds. Jim Hall,
who was classed "a more scientific boxer
than Bob Fitzsimmons, wns several pounds
heavier than the latter when they fought
nt New Orleans, and Fitz won. Peter
Maher In both his encounters with Fitz
had big advantage In weight, but he was
defeated by Fitzsimmons on both occa-
sions. Ed Smith Of Denver was several
pounds lighter than Joe Goddard when
they fought for $4,000 ut New Orleans,
and Smith won.

FUTURE OF PUGILEM.
Is It Possible to Elevate the
Manly Art?
CAN BRAINS BEAT BRUTE FORCE.

Friends Of Prixeaghting Resent Current
Attacks Upon Their Favoriss Sport.
Candidates For Championship Who Are
Not Afraid OF the Heart Blow.
Sports, like people, arc judged by their
associations. There Is strong element
among college athletes which would like to
see scientific boxing placed upon an equal
plane with football as a gcntlemanly SPORT
but the recent defeat Of the skillful Cor
bett by the powerful Fitzsimmons and the
fatalities attendant upon several minor
boxing bouts are not conducive to the ele-
vation Of the ring. There is certain
ghastliness about the heart blow which
Fitzsimmons gave Corbett, and it was pre-
cisely the same sort Of knock which killed
"Sailor Kid and Edward Gibbons and
Christian Kellneker. In the face Of these
disasters, however, the admirers of pugil-
ism claim that football il bloodier game
and that baseball is equally dangerous to
limb, IL not to life. To show that other
sports are judged by their associations, the
friends Of pugilism point to the fact that
cockfighting is In general disrepute, while
the killing and manning of pigeons are
deemed to be pleasures worthy Of gentle
men.
Many people would like to find among
college students some, Moses who would
deliver the manly art out of its present
bondage to what Is mercenary and disrep-
utable. No such deliverer is In sight, how
ever, for up to the present time all the
talking is being done by and about the
same old crowd. Thomas Sharkcy is
conspicuous leader in eloquence, but he
has the record Of being hard hitter, and
IL was hard hit rather than so called sol
ence that caused the recent transfer Of the
championship mt Carson City. Charley
Mitchell declares himself ready to receive
any blows that Fitzsimmons may have to
give, but the poor showing made by Mitch
ell in his meeting with Corbett does not
inspire confidence In his chance OF SUCCESS.
The two Peters-Maher and Jackson-are
not so well understood as Corbett and
Mitchell, and as they have strong physical
foundations TO build on, suitable training
would make them formidable adversaries
of the great Australian, who now owns
the earth
A'study of notable contests during re
cent years shows the Importance of skill
and condition and teaches important les
sons in regard to weight. According to the
records of championship battles fought in
