LEHIcH'S GRADE CROSSING
Compromise Offered on Pa
cific Avenue Bridge for
the Needed Permit.

Nothing definite has been lone as yet
about the proposition OF the. Lehigh Val
ley Railroad to cross Communipaw ave-
nue. at grade. What arrangements are
to be made will have to be made quick
ly, as the ~Freeholders have every ching i'm
readiness to proceed with the construc-
ton Of the new bridge over Pacific ave-
nue..
Mayor Hcos, when first approached
about the proposed crossing OF C%onninusii-
paw avenue at grade, declared thai lie
would consent to nothing unless the city
was in some way to derive compensation.
His first plan was to demand 4 fee Of
$4,000 a year, the ~company's agent hav-
ing declared that money was no object
the avenue. Since then a new problem
has arisen. as told in these columns on
Thursday.
The bridge at Pacific avenue over Nor
ris Canal must be replaced by a new and
stronger structure. The Lehigh Valley
Railroad has a single track road along
the towpath of the canal. The company
has demanded that the bridge be built at
such an elevation hat a clearance of at
least 10 feet be had over mean high water
as provided by law. To give such a
clearance will necessitate the elevation Of
the bridge and require the change Of
grade Of Pacific avenue. In addition 10,
the cost of the new bridge. the change Of
grade required would throw upon the city
an expense of at least $40, 900, outside Of
the damages which the City would have
to pay property owners as a result Of such
change. For the privilege Of crossing
Communipaw avenue at grade. the COM
pany now offers not to require Il cnange
of grade of Pacific avenue, thus relieving
the city of an expenditure which would
doubtless reach sS5, 600 before the work is
completed. The possibility OF being re-
lieved from such an outlay appeals to
Mayor Hoos. and there is a possibility
that he will accept the ~company's propo-
sition.
Freeholder zumbusch is Chairman Of
the Freebooter committee having the
construction of the bridge in charge.
Mayor Hoes sent for him this morning,
but he is out of town. As soon as the
Mayor sees the Freebooter ana reaches
an agreement with him it is likely TIE
Street and Water Commissioners will act
on the ordinance now before them. The
Lehigh Valleys agent declares that II
the company is permitted to cross Com
munipaW avenue at grade. It will result
in extensive work being established here
and the attracting of at least a Thousand
workmen to the city.
These things combined appeal to Mayor
Hoos, and il is thought he Will allow the
crossing to be laid. Flagmen Will he

Tom Linton if the National Track Tenn
Association. is delighted that The hour
record should have been broken in this
country. as It will give him an emporium
ity to reduce the time still further for the
distance. In the race in which this rec
ord was broken, Linton had already de-
feated Taylorc by more than a sixth of a
mile in a 80 mile race, after which ne quit.
Taylore continued and added nearly an
other mile to the time. Had Linton con-
tinued for the record, with his lead, he
would have added another half mils to
the distance covered in the hour.
The success of the North Huds3n Coun-
ty Cyclers' 25-rnile road race to be held
on the Boulevard is already assured. The
entries nave come IN faster than the club
expected, and now include all the fast
est distance men in this State AID county
especially. while from other States in the
Metropolitan district entries and inquiries
are being received daily. There has been
such a demand for entry blanks that a
new lot has been ordered and are being
miles of here. The men who Will COM
pete include a large majority IF those
who rode last year in the 25-mlie road
race held over the same section of the
Boulevard, and also many that have been
successful In the Irvington-Milbura year
ly competition. The1section Of the Boulc-
ward over which the race will be ridden
is the best section along the road. The
time last year was very good and BITTER
than the same riders could do on any
other section. It would have been better
had not a fire occurred and a hose laid
across the road over which the men lad
to ride with much danger. The crowds
who will view the race will be handle diff
ferently this year. Better police protec-
ton will be insisted upon and this will
greatly lessen the danger to both rider
and spectator.

At the Ringside.

Jack Everhardt. Of New Orleans, and
Kid McPharland, of New York, fought
twenty-five rounds to a draw, last night.
at the Greater New York A. c.. of Coney
Island. The attendance was very large,
and the crowd got their moneys worth
as the bout was clean, scientific and inter-
esting from the start. If there was n
thing in favor of either man. McPhar-
land had it. as he led and landed straight
from the shoulder. going at his man at
every opportunity. Everhardt's tactics
were rushes and heavy swings, but Meth
err man did much damage, and there was
no disagreement about the decision. Just
before the bout opened, Owen Ziegler and
Jim Curran offered to meet the winner.
Dowden was to be referee but there was
objection to him and Sam Austin
filed the position. The men weighed
about 145 pounds, and at 1915 shook hands
and started to work.

of this city. They weighed in at l16
pounds, ard fought twelve rounds.
O'Connor was shifty from the start. and
in the first round it looked like a einch
for the Jersey City boy. Toots did moth
ing to speak of in this round. apparently
awaiting a chance to land d vicious
straight left. In the second the Italian
charged from his left straight to swings,
meeting O'Connor's rushes with air
separators that Won have caused
trouble had they reached their mark.
The third saw OConnor at his best. Toots
went at it with q desire to mix matters
up, but the tactics must AVE been new
to him as he did little. effective work.
He got q few good thuInps in the mouth
that brought him to a realization of the
danger of his position, and he settled
back. The fifth was almost OfConnor's
finish. Toots swung on him and almost
knocked him down. Had this blow been
a little lower the Italian would have put
OsConnar in dreamland. Things were
about ever the rest of the game and ref
cree Dowdell gave Teots the decision.
