we can do it. We saw

permanently to attest
that here is the pro-

A Limit Of Twenty Rounds
Added to the Horton Bill
Proviso.
It Is Thought Monster Petition Can
Be Had for the Adoption
of the Bill.

a called meeting OF sportsmen was held
in Myrtle Hall of the Alcazar building,
on O'Farren street, last evening for the
purpose of drafting a bill to be submitted
TO the present Legislature, legititlzing
boxing contests as distinguished from
prize-fghts.
Lewis h. Scharer acted as chairman and
William R. Daley as secretary. After
some discussion it was decided that the
bill to De submitted should be the present
law as printed in the statutes, with the
addition of the following proviso:
Provided however, that sparrlng exhibi-
lions not TO exceed twenty rounds with gloves
OF not less than five ounces each in weight,
may be held by domes tic, incorporated
athletic association in building leased by it
1or athIetlc purposes only Tor one year, or in d
building owned by such association.
This is an exact copy of the Horton bill
governing contests in the State of New
York, with the exception that it contains
a twenty-round limit not mentioned in
the Horton bill.
1t was decided that the secretary be ap-
pointed committee of one to present the
bill to a lawyer and see if it contain any
provision that would interfere with its
adoption.
II was stated by the secretary that
Senator Eugene T. Bert has volunteered
to carry the bill to Sacramento and pre-
sent 1t at the proper time.
Another meeting will be held FRIDAY
evening.
A petition for the adoption of the bill
will be actively circulated after the next
meeting by the various athletic organiza-
tions of the State. The belief prevails
that over 1000 signatures of influential
residents can be secured in this City alone.

DIED ON HIS WAY HOME,
Thomas ]. Shackleford Succumbs
to Heart Disease in a
Car Seat.
He Was a Prominent Attorney and
Politician and a Member Of
Mount Moriah Lodge.

Thomas J. Shackleford, prominent at
torney of this City, died suddenly of heart
disease in car seat near Goshen yester-
day morning. The decedent spent Mon
day in V;salia, and was on his way home
when his death occurred. The conductor
of.the train first discovered that the attor-
ney was dead when he tried to collect his
fare. On reaching Goshen the body was
taken from the train and shipped to Visa
liza, and will be reshipped to this City to-
day.
Thomas J. Shackleford was born in
Lynchburs, Va, Sc years ago. He came
to California in early days and settled in
Tulare County. In the early sixties he
was elected County Clerk of that county.
He subsequently served term in the
Legislature and two terms as secretary of
the State Senate.
During his political career he also held
the offices of secretary of the State Board
OF Health. cashier of the Custom house
and public prosecutor in Judge Lows
court.
The deceased leaves a widow and one
child. He was a very devoted husband
and father, and faithful friend whose
attachments were strong and ardent He
was devoted to duty and punctilious in its
performance, energetic and earnest in
every work. He was member of the
Mount Moriah Masonic Lodge, and the
funeral will take place under its auspices.

blities as instructor in ironmolding- 1t
is definitely known that LOCAL man will
get the place. He will also take charse of
the instruction in the new machine-shops.
Tuition is free at Cogswell College and
any one who has satisfactorily completed
the work of the eighth grade of the public
schools or its equivalent is eligible for ad-
mission. Though ironmolding will be an
elective course, to be chosen or avoided,
it is thought likely that most of the boys
will take it, as they eagerly take all tn !
other normal courses.
The college opened for its spring term
on Monday, with about 125 students, two
thirds of whom are girls. During the holi-
day vacation extensive Improvements
were made in the drawing-room by the
addition of large roof windows, intro
ducing plenty of light from overhead.

No doubt the novelty will be interesting

Uses to be all that is anticipated, and the
ladies say it will certainly open new field
for advanced literary and artistic societies
in this City, though of course only the
subject itself as source OF intellectual
pleasure is considered by the club.
The rooms OF the club will be decorated
exclusively with Indian ects-baskets,
trinkets, curios and pictures of Indian
subjects. Local artists have contributed
sketches and pictures. Henry Raschen,
who talks the Indian dialect of Sonoma
and who has studied the natives in that
vicinity from his boyhood, has loaned
paintings made by him on the coast

Indications illustrating their home life,
and portraits of typical faces. Mrs. Grace

and arranging the baskets and other
things began yesterday.

letes so that they will train at the grounds
for athletic sports that will be held in the
sum mer.
The San Francisco Athletic Club is
arranging for an entertainment, which viii
be held in the clubroom on Sixth street,
some evening in the latter part of this
month. Apart from boxing there will be
wrestling, club swinging and music.
Alexander Greggains is OF the opinion
that Tom Sharkey was talking brash when
he stated in an interview that he would
like to win some easy money by stopping
Greggains and two of the best heavy weight
boxers in this City in one evening.
Greggains says that Sharkey cannot stop
anything and that lie will meet him at
any time and place in contest OF four,
six or ten rounds.
As the game of fisticuffs is now at low
ebb the sporting public aill take but little

each other.
