Special Dispatch to THE CALL

LONDON, Oct. 18.-"Peddlar" Palmer,
the bantam-weight chamrlon OF England,
and Dave Sullivan of Boston met this
evening at the National Sporting Club. at
lie pounds, to compete for the bantam
cham pionship of the world, a purse OF
$500 and side bet OF $1,000. The contest
was won by Palmer in twenty rounds.
The men entered the ring at O'Clock.
The clubroom was crowded. There was a
half pound difference in weight in favor
of Sullivan. but the betting was . TO l in
favor of the Englishman. Both appeared
perfectly trained. AS early as the third
round Sullivan was twice cautioned for
holding. In the fifth Palmer just missed
an uppercut, which might have settled
matters. He had the better of the ex-
changes from the beginning, but Sullivan
made plucky fight throughout.
In the ninth and tenth rounds Sullivan
got in his left, but was again cautioned
for holding and hitting too low.
In the fourteenth round Palmer
damaged his opponents face, and
in the fifteenth Sullivan was evil
IDENTIFY getting weak. But he managed
to land his left and right on Palmer's ribs
and in the succeeding rounds showed lots

Palmer seemed content with his previous
work and Just maintained his advant age
In the eighteenth round Sullivan tried all
he knew TO bring off a Knockout, but
failed. In the nineteenth the American
reached the face of the English man, but
received severe punishment in return on
the nose and mouth.
In the twentieth Sullivan again forced
the fighting, but Palmer won with lot
of points.
Sullivan was so much upset by his de-
feat that he wept. but his game efforts
have secured him many friends, and he
may be congratulated on having made
Palmer exert himself more than any other
lad the Englishman has met.
Preceding the main contest Jerry Dris-
coll, champion of the English navy, beat
Freeman Martin of Nova Scotia in SIX
rounds, and John Hughes of London beat
George Reynolds OF America in eight
rounds.
After the contest it was ascertainei that
Palmer had injured both hands during
the eleventh round, the right being prac-
tically useless.
AS soon as Sullivan heard Palmer de-
clared the winner he begged earnestly for
another match.
The Sporting Life and the Sportsman
both testify to-day that the Sullivan
Palmer match was brilliant and exciting
contest, and highly praise the pluck OF
Sullivan.

SUGAR-BEEP LANDS
TO Be COLONIZED
Syndicate ContemplateS the
Purchase of 10000
Acres.
Vast Tract in Butte, Glenn and
Te ehe ma Counties to Be Opened
to Settlers.

Special Dispatch TO THE CALL
CHICO, Oct. I8-One of the largest
land schemes ever projected in
California now centers about Chico, the
proposition being the purchase of about
$50, 900 acres in Butte, Glenn and Tehama
counties suitable for bset culture and the
establishment OF three sugar-beet facto-
rie., one of which is to be located on
Gensral BidwelPs famous Rancho Chico.
The originator of the sche me is Homer
Wilson of San Francisco and Willard r.
Green, capitalist of Chicago. who repre-
sents several million dollars has been in
terested to the extent that he has pre-
cured options on this vast acreage. Gree IL
has been in Califo rnia for several weeks
looking into the pl an, and a day or so ago
the last option was procured from Nav or
Phelan OF San francisco. who has several
thousand acres near Chico.
To-day Green and Wilson were driven
over the various tracts near here which
are included in the deal, and tonight
they are at Jacinto to make final insp
ton of Glenn County land.
The total acreage consists of lands be-
longing 10 james d. Phelan, a part OF the
John BidwelI grant, Walsh grant Psr-o t
grant, John Finnell ranch. John Boggs,
Glenn estate. Joseph Cone ranch, Wilson
estate and other smaller tracts.
+. c. Lusk of Chico, representative of
several OF these properties, has been in
San Francisco during the past week to
aid in completing the deal. The plan is
to erect, if poss bic. the sugar-beet factory
on Rancho Chico this winter and plant
beets in the spring for the 1898 run. The
land will be bonded and experts in the
culture of sugar beets will be placed in
the field as soon as e sale of the land is
absolutely determined upon. Colonial
tion will be the principal method of in
suiing proper handling of the lard, and
il will gradually be sold in small tracts
upon easy payments.
Green's credentials are such as TO give
him standing in the undertaking and he
has handled successfully large land deals
along this line in Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas. He will leave the State shortly
for Chicago, whers he will report the
progress made to the capitalists whom he
now represents

Celery Most I'rofitab BILE.

How to make vegetable gardening
profitable is question that bothers the
professional gardener as we'll as the
amateur, and the one that can answer
it satisfactorily has solved a great
problem in the gardening business. I
believe we ought to turn cur attention
more to specialties. Take one or two
vegetables and grow them to perfec-
ton. Then the question arises what
vegetables to take. would say celery.
When one can raise good crop Of
good celery and put it on the market
in neat and good shape he will have
little trouble in growing other vegeta-
bles. No other vegetable offers more
profit to the grower than celery when
it is grown right. After it is planted
one man with a horse can take care of
three acres and then not be too busy
all the time Great care should be ia
ken in getting it ready for market; put
it I'D so as to show to the best advant-
age. We tie it in fat punches. three or
four stalks to the bunch, and have sold
thousand dollars worth from an
acre. To describe our method Of grow
ing celery, following it from the time
the seed is sown until the crop Is
marketed, would take more space than
I am allowed. The amateur can see
the reward of doing one thing and do
ing it we'll. There Is always good
demand for good celery. But the be-
ginner starting to grow specialties
must study and read so as to keep
po:ted and Up with the times.-John
Garrailan III Practical Farmer.
