A COUPLE OF JACKS.
they Punched Each other to an
AbIebOdied Draw.

New Orleans, Dec. 2S.-Jack DAILY and
Jack Everhardt met before the Tulane
Athletic club with about 1000 people pres
ent, for percentage Of the receipts. The
match was originally for twenty rounds
but the mayor would not issue the permit
for over ten rounds, and charged $500 for
that. Everhardt said he had trained for
twenty rounds, and refused to go on until
he secured an agreement that II both men
were on their feet Mt the end Of ten
rounds the fight would be declared q draw.
Everhardt tried to make Il rough and
rushing fight from the start, but DAILY was
clever enough to keep away from punish
ment. Days left was weak, 80 that
there was not much harm done until the
seventh, when DAILY learned TO use his
right and kept Il going on the body. In
the tenth round Days right did rushing
business on Evcrhardt's body, and there
was danger Of Knockout. Then Ever
hardt clinched and wrcstled and saved his
skin until time was called and Referee
Duffy declared 1t n draw. ~

SHIPPING FROZEN MILK.
Refrigernting Process which Does
Not Modify the Liquids Quality.

A new method of refrigerating milk:
which Is free from the objection urged
against other processes of preservation.
namely. that they modify the quality of
the liquid. is described In Ice and Re
frigefatior. As soon as possible after
milking n quarter or thereabouts OF the
milk to be transported to distance IL
frozen In blocks OF 30 to 30 pounds; these
are then put into large tin vessels which
are then filed with milk just MS 1t comes
from the COW and then tightly. closed,
though not Theoretically sealed. The
blocks of frozen milk swimming on the
surface soon form a sort of graduated
mass on the top, the continuous thawing
of which Is sufficient to keep enough cir
culation in the vessel TO prevent the
cream from separating and preserve the
milk for fifteen to twenty days In u per-
fectly homogeneous condition, and as fresh
ns at the time of milking. At the place
of consumption the milk may he drawn
off as wanted. A somewhat similar
process of preserving and shipping cream
has also been evolved. which. consists In
placing the containing vessel within
cold water jacket the refrigerating water
being cold enough to keep the cream
just ut the point of freezing without
actually freezing,
