BOXING.

Until September the Metropoiltan's
Fulton clubhouse WIN be silent as the
grave, the Fischer Moore flasco wind
ing up the season, which was replete
with good attractions minus the final
one. and in this connection IT is not
amiss to point out the fact that the
club was imposed on. II poor show
is put on a theatre, asSis often the
case, for shows like fighters are good
and bad, the show Is condemned, but
not the theatre. A manager Of the
atre tries to give his patrons the best,
because he Is in the town to stay. The
same state Of affairs applies to the
Metropolitan Athletic Club, and all
wild criticisms OF the club on account
Of Moore's evident lay down are pure
rot, without any basis of truth. With
less than $50 gate receipts, Of which
so per cent was to be divided between
the principals, and Of this patty amount
three-fourths to go to the winner,
what was there in Il even for the
principals? No wonder they tired In
five rounds. The club not only lost
money, but unjustly suffered in repu-
tation, and the fact that on only two OF
its six entertainments has It come out
on the right side Of the ledger, entities
1t to some commendation for Its per-
severance in trying to give good salts
faction. The four members Of the club
have had to go down In their jeans sew
eral times and they have the chief rea-
son to kick.
Oscar Gardeners generosity is noted
and an example OF It was shown in his
paying the board while here OF Fischer
and Moore. besides sending them rail-
road tickets In advance, something
very seldom done. But" says the
great hearted little fellow, 'I'm in the
business myself and know what It Is to
be stranded" Oscar was poorly paid
in the exhibition the men gave and he
felt 1t worst Of all. He is out quite q
pile on the season. II wouldn't mind
losing" he explained, ito boost the
club, but 1 hate to when It's the
verse"
August is the date when Oscar
Gardner and Jack O'Brien, the light
weight, will clash at catchweights. The
match was made by Paddy Sullivan.
Oscars manager, and under his con-
tract Oscar has to go on. although the
match is considered III advised by9fliIs
Wheeling friends, Sullivan may next
want to try Oscar out against JeffHes.

into the power of man who, in my mind,

Twas foolishly weak in me, but as one
hour went far into another and nothing
CHANGED, / took a blue turn, thinking Of
home and my mother and my sister, and
their worry and wonderment at my long alb

that was made up of universal doubts, and,

fore came down on me. The dew was ike
rain on all about, and not SO much as a
stone, wet or dry, was there to rest upon.
The unusual fast, the lack of sleep, the un.
ceasing danger and present inactivity made
me look at matters with jaundiced eve.
The night voices of the swamp were we'll
nigh deafening, and was like to lose my
head betwixt the vociferous bellowings OF

nerves had so long been strung, when, as
though they had come from below, the fig.

As the advancing man beheld my figore
loom suddenly on high, for the beams of the
| ceiling barely cleared my head, he stopped
short and stepped pace or two backward,
| drawing his sword the while, then with a
voice which might have been heard fur
long, he shouted:
By the great Jehovah! It's Donald
Thorndyke, or his spook from hell! Are We
run to ground at last? If We be no ghost,
| surrender in the name of the king!-Ho, old
man! here is the devil himself; get to my
holsters and fetch the tirearms!-Hither, we
black rascal! help me hold him here! Help
here, l say! Damn the closed door!-Boy!
boy! Oh, what pass is this!"
Waiting for no action on the part of the
old Quaker, and hoping to forestall the ne
! gro, leaped to the floor, and in an instant
the swords of Lowney and myself were
crossed in combat.
The onset was so sudden that it drove the
man backward against his table, which, with
the candle and earthenware, was upset,
though the crash did not mar the fellows
guard Taking advantage of the opening
thus made, sprang between him and the
door, and then the battle began in grim earn
est.
The light was far too uncertain to permit
my putting into practice my well-worn
stroke, and Lowney was much too wary and
too skillful in fencing to allow me to at once
come at him by any other method. was
fairly sure of firing him and in the end beat
ing down his guard, but at present had
enough to do in looking for his tricks and
avoiding his furious lunges. In the hall
light of the room the fire flew bright from
the steel in the energy of the parry, and my
opponent hurried his fatigue by wasting
breath in constant string of oaths.
will not go SO far as to say how this GER
tainly would have ended had there been no
interference, but the end came in a man.
ner totally unlocked for. j had worked the
fellow backward through the room, hoping
to get him where he could retreat no farther,
and had forced him well toward the heavy
settle whereon still sat the Quaker, when
that white-haired patriarch rose with an
exclamation, and Selling his staff, stepped
behind Lowney and brought the stick down
on his barred head, telling him to the floor q
.senseless carcass
Though the blow was serviccable to me,
such an act of war on the part of a Quaker
made me turn on my ally and regard him
with establishment.
"'Twas foul thing to take man from
behind when engaged in front, my friend"
broke out, "and, though give thanks for
good intentions, twas an unseemly act, and
you belle your clothl'
"Thee has small time to pick fine holes in
my service, friend" he answered, hurriedly.
Turn thee to the window and see my mo-
tive. wish to make friends with thee, but
we must hurry! Look yonder!"
l looked as directed, and to my amaze
ment saw squad Of British cavalry about
turning into the lane leading to the tavern.
There was scant time for me to run for my
arms and get to the window, but, as was
about to throw open the easement, the
Quaker laid his hand on my arm.
