BOXING IN BRIDGEPORT.

The Exhibition Last Night Witnessed By Large Number of New Haveners.
 The New Haven sports who went to Bridgeport last night to see the boxing bouts given by the Horizon Athletic club were well repaid for the trip.
 The curtain raiser was between Max Roth of New York and Billy Needham of Boston. This was brief but event. ful, as Needham was sent to his corner after two and a half minutes of punch ing of the slam-bang variety.
 The contestants for the star bout were "Mysterious Billy" Smith and Joe Wolcott, both men of national re- putation. They agreed to box Queens bury rules a stipulation which was all in Smiths favor. These men had trained faithfully and looked in ideal condition. They met at catch weights. Smith was said to weigh 143 and Vol colt looked all the three pounds heavier with which he was credited Smith was nearly six inches taller and his reach was proportionately longer. Johnny German was the leader of Smiths attendants, while the ubiqui- tous Tom O'Rourke, Wolcott's manager and packer, gave him spirituous con- solation between rounds.
 In the opening round Wolcott landed two stiff lefts, in exchange of which he had a shade the better. The men ap- peared very cautious but it was appar ent that neither meant to let any chance slip:,
 Smith did the most work in the next round, but missed two right-hand up- per cuts, which were evidently meant to end the contest then and there.
 Smith gave more than he took in a mix-up at the opening of the third, but missed another upper-cut and the round ended with honors easy.
 In the next round Walcott landed a good left on the wind, but Smith had the rest of the round. Tn this and the succeeding round Smith kept up his attempts to upper-cut with the right, but never landed.
 In the next two rounds Smith con- tinued to gain in every clinch, landing always with the right on ribs and face, but Walcott kept too close for damage,
 
 occasionally landing lightly with the left on the ribs. The house began to shout for Smith, but he was tiring rap- idly, and Walcott seemed fit to fight all night.
 The eighth was faster than any pre- ceding round, and the men went to the ropes repeatedly.
 The ninth was all Smiths, as was the tenth, when he landed straight left on the jaw that would have floored | most pugilists, but only made Walcott laugh.
 In the next round he forced Walcott to the ropes and landed, two lefts, but they did not appreciably affect Wal colt.
 Smith had all the rest of 1t to the nineteenth, when Walcott almost had him out, and he was very cautious during the remainder of the fight. He rallied gamely in the twenty second but got more than he liked in the next round.
 Walcott was still fresh and willing at the end of the twenty-fifth and Referee Austin's decision of draw was we'll received.

LOVE CHANGED HIS WHOLE LIFE
 When Buchanan was president there went into exile in the Adirondack mountains young man from one of the New England states named sam uel Dunnilzen, who had been tilted by the girl he fell in love with
 Dunniken is now one of the best known guides in the north woods He has a knowledge of every foot in the mountains and he has guided some of the best known men who have made vicinity their resting place during the summer and fall
 He has not been outside of the Ad- irondacks since he went there and all of his time has been spent in hunting, fishing and guiding.
 T have been the guide of the late Horatio Seymour and Roscoe Conklin, and l found them two of the most de- lightful companions I have ever been out with,' he said the other day "Sey- mour was with me for long time one year during his term as governor of this state. He loved to be in the Ad- irondacks and was very fond of hunt ing and fishing.
 No, I do care much about going outside of the woods. This is my home and has been for years and 1t will con- tinue to be such for many more years, I hope. When die want to be buried under one of those big trees. If my wish Is compiled I will rest easy.
 T have no desire to enter the life of a city man. Here I have enjoyed peace and contentment and have had no troubles of the body or of the mind. Yes, it is true that had a love affair at one time, but that is a matter that has almost sunk out of my memory and do not care to refer to it.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Feb 1S.-The tone of the
speculation was doubtful and heeitat-
ing in Wall street today and a large
preponderance of the days dealings
were in Sugar and the Grangers.
Nearly sixty per cent. Of the total
transactions were in these stocks.
Coupled with the fact that the total
sales of all stocks showed a marked
decrease from the recent average, the
large proportion absorbed by these spe-
cialties formed a significant comment
airy upon the condition into which the
market has fallen. After the opening
weakness, due to sympathy with Lon
don, and some other foreign exchanges,
had been overcome, it looked as though
the strength radiating from the Grang-
ers had prevailed in the market, but
the increasing weakness of Sugar cou-
pied with a fall in the prices of local
New York specialties in the final hours
was a decisive factor in driving prices
below last nights lever. The radical
utterances made in the course of the
debate precipitated in the senate on
the Maine disaster also engendered dis
trust in the minds of spectators, and
prompted liquidation. Business on the
decline was by far the most animated
of any during the day. The total sales
were 351, 500 shares.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofuous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form OF red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsapariila
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaperilla OF all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

A SAILORS YARN.
A Small Postoffice Was Found Under
a Shark.

From Ilarpers.
The British cutter Sparrow, COM
manded by Captain Wylie, while cruis-
ing off Cape Tiburon, in the island of
San Womingo, chased and overhauled
an American brig, the cargo of which,
together with certain other circum-
stances, gave rise to such a suspicion
that she was enemy's property that
Captain Wylie thought it best to send
her to Port Royal for examination.
The Yankee captain, not in the least
dismayed, swore so positively as to the
truth of his ships papers, which he
produced, that the admiralty court was
at length persuaded to set him free,
whereupon he Immediately began an
action for demurrage against Captain
Wylie for having taken him.
About this time Lieutenant Fitton,
of the navy (who was then a midshp-
man in command of a small tender),
arrived at Port Royal, went on board
the Sparrow to pay visit to Wylie.
He found the captain in very low spir-
it's over the pending suit, and greatly
depressed at the idea of the ruinous
damages that it seemed certain would
be awarded against him on account of
the American.
name of the captain of the brig, ad-
vised Wylie not to worry, and stated
that he could prove that the brig was
yet good prize. He then went on to
explain that while cruising in his ten

had overhauled the brig, and very
shortly after that time, his sailors had
caught a large shark. He was very

which had been promptly swallowed by

so overwhelmed upon hearing the cir

| visitation from heaven for his perjur-
les, that he hurriedly escaped from the
island, and the vessel after all. was
condemned to the Sparrow. Wylie re-

something over $4,000. Mr.. Fitton sent
the jawbones of the shark to the ad-
| miralty court at Jamaica, where they
| still remain.
