 tory Rounds of Fighting.


 New York, May 10-The 20-round bout at catch weights between Joe Choynski of California and Denver Ed' Smith. which brought about 1000 sports to the Broadway Athletic club tonight, was cut short by Referee Roach who stopped the bout after two minutes and eight seconds of fighting iii the fourth round.

Joe was always ready with left jabs and he sent them in on Smiths face repeatedly at the close of the third round.
 In the fourth round Smith would not break away and kept rubbing his head into Choynski's face, covering the Cal ifornian with his blood. As soon as the referee succeeded in getting them separated he sent them to their cor ners and stopped the bout. He award ed the fight to Choynski and there was mingled cheers and groans from all over the house.

DIR, DEPEW ON IRELAND
MAKES 4 PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY,
 JUSTICE AND RIGHT

At the Irish Fair-His Great Grandfather
 Came from Ireland-Divided Ireland a
 Prey to Her Enemies, He. Said, but
 United Always svictorious-Throngs Att
 tend the Fair.
 New York, May 10.-There was large attendance at the opening of the Irish Palace building fair in the Grand Central palace tonight. The chief at- traction seemed to be a miniature rep- resentation of Ireland. There was a great demand for tickets permitting the purchaser to tread the loam imported for the occasion. The various booths were well stocked with ancient and ar- tistic articles, some from the battles fields of Wexford, Oulart Hill, Clontarf, as well as mementoes of "Connell Brau' and souvenirs from Clan McNoise, Glendalough Muckross Abbey, the Giants Causeway, the treaty stone of Limerick, Blarney Castle and docu- ments showing the incidents in the last days of Grattan's parliament in College Green.
 The scene of the fair was beseiged at an early hour by the First regiment, Irish Volunteers, under command of Colonel Moran. The men were put through a series of military revolutions while the people gathered, waited for the opening ceremonies, which were presided over by Monsignor Joseph F. Mooney, vicar general and chancellor of the diocese of New York. On the platform were Chauncey M. Depew, who delivered the address; Recorder John w. Golf, Judge Van Wyck, ex- Judge Browne, Rev. Henry A. Braun, Congressman Thomas J. Bradley, and General James R. O'Brien.
 Dr. Depew said, i'm part: ssI ann very much gratified to witness this grand greeting of a united Ireland. Here are the tthirty- two counties of Ireland r'ep- resented by booths in charge of Irish and Irish-American leaders whose lova of country has nIever Tagged. In truth I never felt so much like an I1dshnlam as do to-nigtht. Is it amy wonder why I should not wllem I recall that my great grandfather came from Ireland? Ireland needs no fair. What she needs is fa!ir play. She asks no charity. All she asks is justice and the right for which she has struggled for seven 11un-- dred years.
 "This fair, with the auspices under which it is opened, gives promise of be- ing what liberty lowing mem and women want to see it be-a success. It is fair of the united Irish societies of the Undt- ed States In union there is strength. Divided Ireland always has been the prey of her enemies, and united Ireland has always won so hong as she renadn- l ed united.''
 A reception followed. The fair will be open continuously until May 30.

A Sensational Story in Connection With
 the Fair Will Case.

London, May 10.--Jeannic von Turk helm, nee Young, of San Francisco, is in this city in great distress. She says she is the victim of a conspiracy which has grown out of the Fair will contest at San Francisco. She accuses her hus- band of a knowledge of the conspiracy. She is entirely without funds, and is beseeclling her friends in San Francisco to send her money enough to pay her passage home. She has sent the follow ing cablegran to Chief of Police Lees of San Francisco:
 London, May 9.-Discovered proof of Delmas' villainy at Hotel Cecil, London Turkheim intends leaving early to-mor- row. Tell friends wish for immediate return. No money. Can you have Turkheim extradited to San Francisco? |? Has valuable papers of Fair case in his possession. Gable care American en- bassy."
 The correspondent of the Associated Press interviewed the Baroness von Turkheim, as she is known, to-day. He found her in a. state of great mental ag- ftation. In the course of the interview she said:
 Owing to my knowledge of import amt facts bearing on the Fair will case, it became desirable, in the interest of certain persons, to remove me from the scene of action. To bring this about, I was induced, or instigated, to marry the man who called himself Baron von Turkheim. We sailed for England. During the voyage there were repeated attempts to poison me. When We ar rived at Liverpool l discovered among the effects of the man calling himself von Turkheim certain papers showing him to be detective employed by Still wells agency in San Francisco. When I charged him with his duplicity he ad- mitted it. We came to London and took rooms at the Hotel Cecil

How He Has Attempted to Bolster His
 Cause by Editing Press Dispatches.
 London, May 1.-The Daily Malls correspondent at Volo says:
 Prom tine first day of the war Crown Prince Constantin, in his capacity Of chief censor blocked all the news which the English correspondents sent from the scene of hostilities. They were obliged to adopt the plan of post ing their messages to Athens; but even then many of these were not for warded The minister of war issued official reports daily, which were incor- porated with the telegrams. This eX- plains the inaccuracy obvious in so many cases.
 'sThe crown prince who understands English perfectly, altered the news so as to make it favorable to himself. For instance, in telegram to New York newspaper describing the 'cold" re- ception given him at Larissa the prince changed it to "enthusiastic" reception. When the correspondents went to him and protested vigorously he answered very eyasively. The Greek disaster was was due primarily to Constantin him. self. He destroyed the morale of the army by ordering the evacuation of Kurtsiovali and the retreat on Tyrna- vos, and then he ran away in shame full flight from Larissa, when the dis graceful scene was witnessed of Greek colonel shrieking with terror
 Everybody cursed Constantin for de- serting them: though there were other reasons for the disasters which follow ed, such as lack of discipline, the in- sufficiency of officers and a general maladministration of the non-combat- ant branches of the service"

THE MERCHANTS, coMM1rrEr.
Meeting Held Last Evening-Reports Read
 Talk of Another Carnival.


 Talk of Another Carnival.
 meeting of the general committee of the Retail Merchants association which had charge of the arrangements for the Merchants carnival was held last evening in the store of J. Johnson & Son on Church street for the purpose of closing up the business of the com mittee. Stephen A. Howe presided. It was reported that the allegations of certain persons living in North Haven, Cheshire and Plainville to the effect that they had been deceived by ticket agents of the railroad into believing that the free entertainment tickets given out for the carnival day entitled them to free transportation to New Haven had been investigated and found to be without foundation.
 The treasurer of the committee, Roger De Bussy, reported that he had received in all for the carnival $1 1895. 50 of which amount he paid to the pub licity and amusement committees $1,- S.50. It was ascertained that about $24.50 would be required in addition to the money on hand to settle up the bills incurred for the carnival. One com pany which agreed to give a considera- ble sum towards the carnival has not paid in yet, and it is thought that this subscription will be ample to make up the required sum.
 The matter of holding another car nival was brought up, but nothing defi- nite regarding it was decided upon, al though a suggestion that a carnival be held in the fall was received with fla vor. A vote of thanks was passed to Joseph E. Platt for the loan of a Rem ington typewriter to the publicity com- mittee during it's work of arranging for the advertising of the carnival.

 Pharsalos.
 London. May 1.-The Athens corre- spondent of the Daily Chronicle says:
 "The real and only cause of the Greek retreat to Pharsalos was the blunder Of one who mistook the retreat of the enemy for forward movement designed to outfank the Greeks ana therefore ordered nasty retreat.
 ''The Grown Prince Constantln lett Larissa because he believed the exag- gerated reports of danger to his forces. It is a fact, however, that on the even ing of the retreat Edham Pasha, de- spairing of breaking the Greek lines, had ordered his army to retire to Veles- tino. The state of the Turkish army at that moment was simply pitiful and terror reigned at the Kiosk.
