COL. ATWELL'S GUESTS.
Republican State Central Committee
at Fields Point.
Gen. White Reelected Chairman and
Judge Warner, Clerk.

The members OF the Republican State
Central Committee were the guests of Col.
Atwell at a dinner given at Fields Point
this afternoon. -
A brief session was held for the purpose
of organization which was effected by the
reelection of Gen. Hunter G. White as
chairman and Judge Eugene +. Warner
as clerk.
The rest of the afternoon was devoted
to an informal discussion Of the political
situation.
The situation, however, from the Re-
publican point of view is all one way in
Rhode Island.
A member of the national committee
at Washington recently stated TO General
Brsyton, the national committeeman
from Rhode Island, that II the party was
as we'll organized throughout the country
as il is in this state and in Maine, the
Democracy would go out of business
altogether.
AS matter of fact it would be impcs-
sible TO find more perfectly organized
political body than that which was in
session today at Fields Point and the
contrast is particularly sharp in Rhode
Island where the Democrats furnish the
exhibition of "a central organization of 81
members only nine OF whom have ever
paid their dues, who cannot get a quorum
for more than once out of 10 calls for a
meeting and who have not been able TO
pay for clam dinner eaten so many
years ago. that at least five Democratic
candidates for governor have been de-
feated in the meantime.

RODGERS DEFEATED.
Dick Latham of This City Did Him
Up in Eleven Rounds.

ollowing story of n prize-fght which he
claims to have witnessed last night.

Billy Hayes. In the first round tho
fighters got right to work, Rodgers land
ing left on face and "a moment later,
landing on the colored fighters wind,
while Dick countered on the chest. The
exchanges were fairly even for the first
round.
In the next round Latham showed the
greater cleverness and landed left and
right band blows on Rodgers jaw and
chin. Latham stopped Rodgers rushes in
the third round with several good left
handlers and the colored fighter was as
spry on his feet as kitten. Latham was
cautioned in the third round for hitting
while in n clncb, but he apologized.
AS the round went on they exchanged
lefts on the wind The round ended in
two handed rally. In the next Latham
fought too fast for Rodgers and in the
sixth he landed left hand facer that
drew the blood In a stream from Rodgers
mouth. Latham started the seventh
round with left In the wind and his
right on Rodgers head.
The latter missed the return. Rodgers
placed a stiff left OH the eye and n good
right on the wind and Latham countered
on Rojge's' bread basket. Rodgers
started the eighth round with light
facer, ana Latham rushed and got in two
good lefts on face and wind. Rodgers
landed a righth hand uppercut on Latham S
mouth.
All the fighting in the ninth round was
In Rodgers corner Latham being the
aggressor. In the tenth round Latham
drove Rodgers all over the ring and
Rodgers was very groggy when time was
called.

right handler and Rodgers went down.
Ho tried to regain his feet but went down
again and was counted out and the referee

Clear Skies for the Big
Collegiate Event.
There Is Very Little Betting
at POughkeepSie.
List of the Crews With Weight and
Height of the Members.

Poughkeepsie y. Y, June % Azure
skies, clear atmosphere bright sunlight
and light but not disturbing breeze from
the south marked tho earliest hours Of
opening of the freshmen race day. To-
days contest and that Of the latter part of
the week bring together three colleges that
the most sanguine sportsman hardly ex-
pected TO see in contest for many years TO
come. That there is desire upon the part
of the Americans to establish yearly races
similar To those at Henley Is evident from
the size of the gathering today. No such
