The Coney Island Club Will Get Rich
From the Fitz-Jeffries Mill.

New York, June THE great inter-
est taken in the F'itzsimmons-Jeffri
fight is shown by the sale of seats. At
a recent auction sale of boxes every
box was sold bringing $4,000. One box
was sold afterward by a speculator to
party of Wall street men for $3.50.
Last night the directors of the Coney
Island Sporting club met and added So
new boxes, nearly all of which have al
ready been sold for a good round sum.
The SIS seats have been literally pur-
chased, while hardly any of the SO
seats are left, at least six rows having
been sold.
The demand exceeds that for even
the Sharkey-Maher, Corbett-S Sharkey
or McCoy-Sharkey fight.
AT rough estimate the Coney Island
club has sold s45.0OO worth of seats.
The prices of admission to see the fight
and the seating capacity of the Coney
Island club are here given:
The prices of tickets are $5, $40, SIS,
$40, and $25 The following are the

Luxuries became needs, fashionable RI

devising competitive extravagances. It
was her ambition to be not only the
beauty Of her set, but famous beauty

time. Celebrated bellies Of the past had
found place in history either by their
splendid gallantries, wit or by the orig.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
COLoNIA JUAREz, Mex, Mar. e.
Not long since communication was
received here from the officials of the
r. G. S. M. & P. railroad company
asking if citizens of Colonia Juarez
would give them right of way through
our lands in the event OF an extensio n
of their railway up the Piedras Verdes
river, through our town, and up into
the timber region of the Sierra Madre
mountains.
At q public meeting the question
was debated and an unanimous vote
was given in the affirmative. Such an
extension of the road would be of great
benefit 10 US, to the company, and 10

the immense stores of lumber and tim

of the mountain country, now in great
measure unavailable because of the ex-
pense incident to SO long and rough
haul by wagon.
