In just one and a half minr.es ac .ual work in this round Me Elduff lay on his side unable to respond until the fatal ten seconds had been counted off, and McGimrssy was declared the winner The finis.Arg blow was a left swing in the ribs just below the heart.

CHAMP CLARK,S BOY.
A Favorite With Every One From Speaker
 Reed to Scrub Laborers.


 Reed to Scrub Laborers.
 Little Champ Clark, of Missouri, is a chip of the old block. He is a beautiful child, about years old, as bright as dollar, and almost as quick at repartee as his noted and amusement to all with whom he be- comes acquainted, and there are not many people in the big capitol building on the house side, from Speaker Reed down to la borers who scrub the floors after every one else goes home, with whom he has not ai- ready become acquainted.
 Whats the number of daddy's box? he shouted. as he rushed into the house post Who's your daddy?" asked the clerk. "Oh, you know" said little Champ, with q contemptuous wave of his hand. "I in troduced myself to you the other day"
 The place where little Champ delights to go is the house stationery room. The rows of pearl-handled knives, the silyer-tipped pencils, the rubber bands, the boxes of paste and the piles of paper boxes of en- ve,opes are sources of amusement to the lit tie lad, and the clerks encourage his visits, for bright sayings are ever bubbllng fresh from his lips. .e -..-as..4.
 What are you democrats going to do . now?' asked one of the clerks vet tsrdav. when little Champ came in. Mckinley is running things, and you folks will have to put up with it whether you like 1t or not" The little fellow jumped into chair and his father assumes when most in earnest. "De dercnra's will not be responsible for any of MclIin,ev's acts,"

NEXT SEASONS BOAT RACES.

New York, November 26.-Prof. Benja-
min T. Wheeler, the advisory member of
the Cornell athletic council, is in the
CITY. 1t is understood that Prof. Wheeler
had come to New York to confer with
some Yale parties relative to the chal
lenpe which Yale is reported to have de-
cided to issue to Cornell for university
boat races next season. Prof. Wheeler to-
day said: II am here to confer with
Cornell alumni, whom l may meet and
to secure their opinion as to what will
be Cornells' best policy in case such a
challenge is received by u.s. There is
every year great deal of talk over what
arrangements will be made over boat
races the coming year, and would be
much pleased If a general conference of
REPRESENTATIVES of all the rowing univer-
stiles would be agreed upon. AS it is
there is nothing but uncertainty. If
Cornell rows Pennsylvania and Columbia
as has been the custom in recent years.
it will be unfair to add to this the bur-
den of race with Yale and Harvard,
each singly making in ali three races for
US
The sportsmen throughout the country
have urged that there be a quintangular
regatta held the coming year between
Cornell, YALE Harvard, Columbia and
Pennsylvania. Such plan presents
many disadvantages. Cornell being the
champion this year will not issue any
challenge, but will be willing to row any
one who will row with her and impose
no unfair conditions.
