season has proved to the exchequers Of the
magnates is well shown by figures COM
piled by President Young. There was a
decrease of nearly 100000 in the attend
ance of the past season from that of the
season before. The loss, however, was
mostly borne by the eastern clubs, the at
tendance in most of the western cities
showing an increase. The schedule WIS
made to benefit the west. and Chicago and
Cincinnati did land-office business.
The attendance In this city dropped from
131.OS In 1897 to 103.250. The attendance

twelve clubs during the past season. Last
year they drew about 1000 more than the

Boxed Fifteen Rounds.

Arthur Jones the champion featherweight
Of the District. and John Douglass of Phila-

Steubners Road House last night. AS both
men were on their feet at the close. the de-

with an agreement between the men. AL
though neither had any special advantage
at the finish. it was the general impression
that Douglass could not have lasted many
more rounds. He was much faster than

his blows irritated but did not hurt his an

is just being inaugurated the season of in

kind are increasing every year. Unlike
horse racing, cycle racing is sport that

with the same amount of pleasure It may
be true that while an indoor track is nee
essariiy shorter than an outdoor one, yet
this fact does not detract the least from
the sport From spectacular point of
view, it is much better, inasmuch as the
movements of the riders can be ssen more
clearly and more frequently than on an
outdoor track.
