The singular spectacle of a rail-
road getting nearly twice as much
for old and worn out rails which
it is taking up as the new ones
cost which are taking the places
of the old ones, is seen in the case
of the Ontario and Western road.
A little more than a year ago the
Ontario and Western c)ntracted
for over 1000 tons Of first-class
steel rail at the then prevailing
rate of $1S per ton. The rails are
now being delivered. Old steel
rails meantime have advanced tc
$3Y per ton, which price the com.
pany is receiving from the factory
which is furnishing the new rails.

Steel rails are now at $33 a ton.
This is from $40 to $15 a ton
higher than the average price
during the last eight or ten years.
Yet contracts have already been

who will also have a pronounced ad-

boxing match. Because OF that Very IN

PRINCIPALS ACT WISELY.
The principals to 1.-THE Fitzsimmons-Jef-
fries match are certainly winning golden
opinions from the public by their con-
duct prior to the battle. Contrary to
precedent, neither man has yet said that
the other Is a "duffer." or that he Will
win In a ''jiffy.,"' It. is that sort OF talk
that disgusts the public with affairs Of
this sort The day, Of the battle Is the
time for them to talk fight.

and Steve O'Donnell After failing to
stop Armstrong in ten rounds, as agreed.
Jeffries claimed to have injured his hand
and refused to go on with O'Donnell. He
created decidedly unfavorable impress
sion at that time. being regarded as too
slow for championship form.
SILER AS REFEREE.
George Siler, who Is to referee the
match, is unquestionably capable man.
He is boxer and possesses all the grit

advantage to Jeffries, who is possibly the
stronger man of the two, and should have

tricky as fox and as fast as lightning

nishman may send him to dreamland as
they separate from one Of those clinches
Siler Is as square as they make them.
He could not be persuaded to be a party
to anything not on the level, and can be
fairly. His selection is bit of puzzle

FITz AND SULLIVAN.
The size and weight of Jeffries seem to
cut quite figure with many ring follow
ers. There is no reason why that should
be so. FitZ is not worried because man

TO whip him, and that is to send him to

known of his ability, or his gameness.
He has not been fully tried out in either
particular. He, is "a big, strapping fellow,

The scene of what promises to prove
memorable ring battle is herewith pro-
duced. 1t shows the interior of the ia
nous Coney Island Athletic club, in the
arena of which Robert FitZsimmons and
James Jeffries will, on the afternoon OF
Friday, Nav &c, contend for the heavy
weight boxing championship of the world
and $4,000. The club house is one of tho
best-adapted for that sort of sport in
the world, and in its enclosure many of
the leading lights OF the ring lave bat
tied for supremacy. The seating ar
rangements are admirable, as will be
seen by glancing at the cut, each patron
being afforded an excellent view of the
ring proper The capacity is ample, and
for the first time, perhaps, it may be
taxed. There is no longer doubt of the
success of the affair from a financial
standpoint. That there will be crowd
present is q foregone conclusion. The

pictures will in themselves bring q neat
sum to the principals and promoters If
the battle lasts as a e.ny as half a dozen
rounds, which seems probable it wiki
Jeffries will take no rash chances with
his more experienced adversary, and Fitz
can afford to be cautious at the outset
There has been some talk of possible in
reference, but this has been quoted,
and there now seems nothing to prevent
the success of the meeting between the
recognized premiers of the prize ring.
