Sammy Kelly, the American boxer.
whose friends are legion in this city, won
a great victory in England last night by
defeating Billy Plimmer in the twentieth
round of their battle, Plimmer was an
odds on favorite and until the final round
had all the best of the fight. He was
the a5gressor and kept Kelly in difficulty
all the time. The latter was playing a
waiting game and when he saw he had
his man tired by his w exertions he
went in to finish him. He went at Plim-
mer ~viciously and with> a hard blow
knocked him down and out. The majority
of the spectators considered it a lucky
blow for Kelly, but the truth of the mat
ter was that the American lad won by
superior ring generalship. Plimmer was
heavily backed by the English talent.
Kelly was confident from the outset, how
ever, hat he would force the Britisher
to haul down his coiors, and his friends
won handsomely over his victory. Kelly's

POTATO CROP is SHORT.
Yield Is Small and the Quality sadl,
nnRoJn,,k


Yield Is Small and the Quality Sadly
Deficient.
Not since 1892 has the potato crop of
the United States proved SO nearly
failure, says the American Agricultur-
list in it's final report of the yield of 1897.
Compared with the liberal crop of last
year there is an apparent falling off of
nearly 30 per cent. in tonnage and the
quality of the wholeis greatly deficient.
County and township returns from all
the leading potato-growing states to
this weekly newspaper show the yield
OF potatoes to be 174,000,O0O bushels,
against 245,ooo,Ooo in 1896, 2s6, 900, 900
in 1895, 1s5,0oo,ooo in 1894, and only 1885,
100000 in the short crop of 1892 The
average rate of yield per acre is placed
at 81 bushels, taking the country at
large. against Sc bushels in 1896, 80
bushels in 1895, and CO bushels in 1892.
The reasons for disaster to the potato
crop of 1897 are about as varied as a
multiplicity of causes could make them
Standing out with more prominence
than any other two factors are blight
and rot, as a result of extremes of
weather conditions. While the yield in
bushels is small, the quality is almost
as deficient. This is true of most, but
not all, states. The crop is best in the
northwest.
Such portions of Canada as make
specially of potatoes, notably Ontario
and the maritime provinces, show a
general, but not serious shortage.

Money that is good in America is
good enough for US. The man who
wants money that is good in Europe,
should take into consideration that
only about 8 per cent. of all the trans
actions requiring the use of money
by the people of this country, are had
with foreign nations. Iu adopting a
system of finance we should give
preference to the money system which
will promote and facilitate SO or 81
per cent. of our business transactions,
and not spend SO much time quib-
bling over the probable effect of II
change on SO small fraction of our
business. Manchester Democrat.
