GAYNOR'S DECISION REVERSED.

PROMOTERS OF BOXING EXHIBITIONS GET
SETBACK FROM THE SUPREME COURT.
The Appellate Division yesterday handed down
an opinion reversing the decision Of Justice Gay
nor in the application of Eugene j. Comiskey Tor
a peremptory mandamus compelling the Mayor TO
grant a theatrical license TO the Surf Athletic Cluo'
of Coney Island The Surf Athletic Club was the
predecessor of Warren Lewiss Greater New-fork
Athletic Club. which recently obtained from Jus
tice Gaynor a mandamus to obtain similar license
from the Mayor. Comiskeys application was
made In June last While Justice Gaynor5 de-
cision Lews's C. stands it is now evident that
II will be overruled the Mayor gets the
case before the Appellate Division as Comiskeys
case practically the same.
The opinion for reversal Is written by Justice
whether the duty of the Mayor is ministerial or
not. He finds that 1t is generally executive, ana
that ii the intention of the Common Council IN
delegating its powers TO the Mayor in such mat
ters 10 leave the whole disposition Of them to that
official with the right to exercise his discretion
He finds that, although the ordinance states thai
the Mayor shall issue such licenses. II means not
that tie Mayor must issue them. but that II Is the
Mayor who shall have the power to issue them.
The opinion is a severe blow TO boxing at Coney
Island

solidated. For years the lodges have been unaoie
to save sums of money as large as those "mch

with total receipts Of s2,sS4 As, have been able TO
save only s572 81 in ten years. The officers OF inc

the best in the city nave already decided 10 con-
solidate. They are Stella, Lexington ana Fort

A COW AND CALF SIGHTED AND CHASED BY
BOATS YESTERDAY.
The excitement in Southampton on THURSDAY
when a right whale was sighted short distance
awav and chase was given by three boats. was
mora than duplicated yesterday, when the watchers
on shore sighted two whales not far off the shore
and hearing landWard and feeding. 1t was expect
cd the big right whale of Thursdays adventure
would return as there is plenty Of whale food along
the coast Of which he enjoyed to his fill on Thurs
day in the intervals of lodging the three boats
He did not return but instead came a big COW
and fair-sized calf. They worked shoreward while
the boats which were ready loaded were manned.
CAPTAIN Hugh White manned the first boat with his
crew Captain Jetur Rogers and Captain Frank
White commanded the other boats. The boats were
launched and sails set Word also sent TO the
old whalers at Amagansett. and before the local
boats reached the whales the six boats of that place
were sighted. making every inch of canvas along
the coast They had been ready all the morning. In
expectation OF sighting whale there when
word was sent from Southampton they soon
on the way. Captain Frank White ran close TO the
cow AT the first try, but before he was near enough
to permit the Of the irons the cow sounded and
moment later the calf was out OF sight. Inc
Then the COW reappeared a long distance away and
blew An hour was taken up by the fleet, the Anna
gansett boats having joined the others in working
near the whales This time they appeared TO be
sleeping. The boats approached well together Dat
the nearest was hundred yards away still when
the cows tail stirred the water and she went
down. This game kept up the greater part OF
the day Time and again the boats approached
within a short distance, only TO have the whales
either sound swim away
AT night the whales were OF the coast, and an
other chase will be given this morning The old
whaers say the would be worth 5000 if landed.
