The Board of County Commissioners
were in town yesterday. For long
time the bridge on the b., B. & NJ. F..
street car line, situated just below the
street car barns. has been considered
unsafe. Yesterday The commissioners,
accompanied by Wheeling street rail-
way officials. went over the line in
view Of seeing what improvements
should be made. 1t was decided that
the bridge in question will be rebuilt,
the railway company standing half the
cost. An attempt was made to have
the bridge replaced before the B., B. &
NJ. F. passed into the hands OF the
Wheeling company, but no proposition
could be gotten out of the former COM
pany.

kins, the lightweight p0silist from
the Pacific slope, made short work
of Kid Mcfarland, OF this city, whom
he met in the arena Of the Lenox A. G,
tonight. The bout was decided in the
third round, the New Yorker being
knocked out with left swing on the
jaw. Hawkins opened favorite in the
betting at 100 to so, but these odds Cid
not last long and even money ruled
when the men donned the gloves.
This was the third time that Haw-
kins has fought before the New YORK
club. He won from Joe Cans IN fif-
teen rounds the first time he appeared
here, and was knocked out by Spike
Sullivan on his second visit.
The men agreed to box under Mar
quls OF Q6eensberry rules and to break
w1eH called upon. They were an
-nounced to go twenty-five rounds and
each weighed 1875 pounds at O'Clock
this afternoon.
Round AFTER some slow work
Hawkins got in left hand hook on
Macs stomach and the Kid fell to his
knees, but arose quickly, and they ex-
changed left hooks on the stomach
and head before the bell sounded.
Round 2-Mac cut out the pace with
Hawkins on the defensive, but very lit
tie was done by either until near the
close, when Hawkins landed a very
hard left hook in the wind.
Round 3-Hawkins was first to count
in the third, swinging his left to the
ribs. Mac replied with a left to the
head. Then both sent left hooks to the
head. Mac sent a straight left to the
face and Dial sent his right over the
heart. This blow weakened MOZART
land, who. a few seconds later, was
sent to the floor with a left hook on the
jaw. Mac rolled over. but got to his
feet in nine seconds. Both made a few
passes at close quarters. Dial sent his
right and left to the jaw and MOZART
land landed a short left swing on Dal's
jaw. Just as Mac started to sprint
away, Hawkins let fly another long left
swing which landed flush on MOZART
lands jaw, and the New Yorker drop
ped like log on his back. He lay as
if dead while the referee counted ten.
and then McPartland's seconds carried
their man to his corner.
Referee Charley White declared
Hawkins the winner while the hackers
and friends of the Californian stood up
and cheered wildly. Time of round,
two minutes and 81 seconds.
Frank Bradley, of Philadelphia, and
Billy Needham, of st. Paul. put up a
lively fight in the preliminary of ten
rounds at 125 pounds. In the second
round Needham over-reached himself
and stumbled; as he was falling Brad
ley caught him with his right on the
head and Billy fell. He was up in a
couple of seconds and cut out the work
Bradley held himself in reserve for the
first half of the bout and then cut loose.
Needham had several chances to use
his right on the ribs and kidneys, but
took no advantage of the opportuni-
ties. Both men were pretty we'll mark
ed up at the finish and the referee de-
cidd in favor of Bradley.

The ice in Wheeling creek let go yes

two weeks. The rain in the past few
days has softened the ice quite good

from the creek forcing itself half way

BOXING NOTES.

Oscar Gardner, the greatest favorite
n boxing circles that ever called
Wheeling his home, could not have
been pleased better in any other way
than when he learned that Frank
Bradley had signed articles to meet
him before the Metropolitan Athletic
Club on next Tuesday evening. Brad
ley is the Philadelphia boxer who hand
led Oscar so roughly few weeks ago,
and Philadelphia papers have even
credited him with having all the best
of the six rounds, claiming that if it
had last a little longer he bradley
would have put the little Westerner out
IF the business. Oscar feels this crit
icism deeply and is glad of an oppor-
tunity to meet the Quaker City lad on
even terms. On the other hand Brad
ley is well pleased with his job for next
Tuesday, and feels confident of lower
ing Gardeners colors.

New England farm life, and both aim
TO treat in a dramatic way the. daily

introductions are hurtful 70 the

set forth in Shore Acres" is full Of
human interest, and one cannot help
