NEW YORK, N. Y, March 3.-Tommy 3.
West of Chicago defeated Joe Walcott of
Boston, the hitherto 1nvincibe welter-
weight, in their TWEEN ty-round bout at the
Broadway Athletic Club tonight. Wal
cott was giving away lot of weight and
though he fought gamely his colors were
fairly lowered. He was badly punished,
while West had not mark.
There were about $500 spectators present
when the main bout was put on. The
betting was 2 to l on Walcott. George
Dixon was the colored mans chief second
and Dock" Dougherty looked after West.
Walcott weighed about 140, West 16O.
Walcott led off with haIf-dozen hard
body blows before West got in two GOOD
lefts on the face. The lighting was hard
throughout.
The eleventh round was q slugging
match all around. West reached Waicott
hard on the face. Joe landed three times
on the jaw. West pounded his man al
most to q standstill in the thirteenth
round and the referee had a hard Job to
break Walcott out of clinches. Walcott
had the best Of the early part of the four
teenth, but West had him verv tired when
the gong rang.
Walcott was cautioned about fouling.
West forced the fighting in the next four
rounds. Walcott cut loose in the nine

to the wind. Both slugged wildly in the
windup. but could do no damage.

CARSON, NEv., March 3.-Entries for
the big live bird shoot 10 be held in con-
junction with the fistic carnival come in
from all quarters by every mail. There
appears to be some trouble in making
prospective competitors understand the
con ditions and it is i'm mpossible to answer
all individual requests for information on
that point. Stuart made to-day the fol-
lowing announcement:
The live bird shoot will be inaugurated
on the afternoon of March IL, Immedi-
ately on the conclusion of the Corbett-
Fitzsimm ons contest. The first event will
be for the live bird championship of the
pion Elliot, with $50 entrance fee and
$1,000 added money. II there are more
than FIVE entries this event alone will be
shot off on that day. If there are less,
the State cham pionship shoot will be
commenced and concluded, If possible,
on the same day.
On the morning of March IS the great
Nevada sweepstakes, q handicap, s. en-
trance fee and half of the gate receipts
added, will be shot. This will consume
all the time not devoted TO the Smith
Green ana Hawkins. Fiaherty contests.
With a possible attendance of over 1000,
one-half of the gate receipts should net
the marksmen a pot OF not less than
$1,000 to shoot for. This will be cut up in;o
five moneys as follows: First money, 80
per cent; second, %; third, 20; fourth, 15
and fifth, 10 per cent.

can brand of milk condemned. They as
sure us that it contains nothing but pure
cows milk with all its original fats and
the requisite amount of cane sugar to

to vouch for the authenticity of this state
ment We also have testimonials in favor
of the milk from such people as Tillmann

underhand method of buying goods from
few selected firms is not fair proceed
ing on its face. With respect to the
honey, we get this from the country to
avoid glucose adulteration, and cane sugar
is not deleterious article in any sense"
M. Rathien of Rathjen Bros, 81 Stock

to the foregoing. The condemned articles,
he said, were purchased with a guarantee
from the manufacturer and if the action
of the board was sustained he would look
to the former for an explanation.

But They Condemn the

The action OF the Board of Health and
the representatives of the pure-food COM
mittee OF the Council of Associated In
dustries in issuing warrants for the arrest
of local retail and wholesale grocers on
the charge of selling adulterated goods
has aroused a great deal OF surprise, not
to say indignation, among the parties
implicated.
These gentlemen almost without excep-
tion assert that the charge is ill founded,
or at any rate that the retailers, who dis
pose Of presumably high class articles In
good faith. should not be carried into the
Police Courts like ordinary buns and
drunks. Their argument briefly expressed
is that If the Board of Health really de-
sires to insure pure food supply it should
properly proceed against the manufactur-
ers and agents, from and through whom
the goods were originally procured.
William Cline, the wholesale and retail
grocer, of 949 and 951 Market street.
against whom a warrant was issued on
Tuesday. said last night:
sWe handle the very same class OF
goods as Goldberg, Bowen & Co., Lieben-
baum & Co., Bibo. Newman & Co., and
other large houses, and it seems rather
against those firms. Why the authorities
should always make target of me indi-
vidually is something don't understand,
unless they are actuaied by personal m O.
tives. This is the fourth time they have
gone after me. We handle only first-class
goods. such as Gordon & Dillworth's cat
sup Snider's catsup, Curtis Blue-label
catsup, Eagle milk, Highland cream, Tip
top and Rowe's Brand milk. If these are
adulterated we do not know it, and the
only way we could find out would be to
open every can and have the contents
analysed, and then we should have moth
ing to sell. Personally l would be In favor
of having all adulterated goods thrown
out Of the market, and if Mr.. Dockery and
the Board OF Health can devise some
method of accom- plishing this object
will be among the first to indorse ii.
