BARBERTON'S
Fair Is Proving a Great
Success.
Samuel r. Iones Is an Attraction
Toniqht-Large Crowd Present.

Thursday evening, the second
evening of the Barberton fair, was
highly successful. The crowd was
large and enthusiastic and the
"barkers'' for the various booths
proficient in calling their wares in
such an alluring manner as to coax
the glistening shekels from many an
unwilling pocket.
Burke's vaudeville team in fancy
dances proved an attraction of merit
and was encored repeatedly. Miss
Lulu Waltzer of Canal Fulton sang
several pleasing songs. Friday night
Samuel T. Jones viii speak on cam
paign issues. and on Saturday even
ing there will be a monster cake
walk, while a program, which should
prove equally interesting has been
prepared for each evening of the fair.

Change In High Scoool Team
Sporting News.

The splendid showing made by
Art Simms in his recent bout with
Johnny Dennison at the Rockpcrt
Athletic club has attracted general
attention to that young pugulist.
The DEMOCRAT is in receipt of a
challenge, directed to Simms from
Boston, Mass. 1t reads:
"BOsToN, MASS, Nov. l, 1899.
Sporting Editor DEMoCRAT:
Noticing in many of the eastern
papers the critical review of the
abilities of Art Simms. of your town,
from the pen of George V. Tuohey,
one of the best judges of pulilism in
this country, beg leave to state
that L have lad here whom think
can take the measure of Simms.
This lad is Dave Lavigne, who has
recently beaten every man in his
class hereabouts and whose only de-
feat was at the hands of Patsy
Sweeney, the clever lightweight,
who has knocked out Kid Broad in
nine rounds, Jack Downey in II
rounds and has performed in a cred
table manner against all the top
notch light weights.
"Lavigne can box at l22 pounds, but
1 am willing to allow Simms to make
his own terms, all that / ask is that
if we lose that we be given car fare
to and from Boston. This should
stamp my confidence in Lavigne as
being thorough, and if the match is
arranged you will see the Akron
crack tested to the fullest. Lavigne's
most recent performances were the
beating of Billy Smith of Philadel-
phia, in two rounds at Coney Island,
and the knocking out of Lew Myers,
the New York featherweight, in a
couple of rounds at Brooklyn, N. Y.
Lavigne is the recognized feather
weight champion of New England,
and is fast, two-handed man, who
always gives spectators run for
their money.
Trusting that Simms may see fit
to answer this and accept, I remain,
Truly yours,
John ]. Flaherty,
Manager Martin Flaherty, Dave
Lavigne, Andy Watson. and 9TH

Biq New Coal Boat Will be Constructed
Col. Dick"

Chas. Perkins, chief engineer of
the state, and Washington G. john
son, member of the Board of Public
Works, besides several other gentle
men interested in state affairs, spent
the past few days in this city looking
up matters pertaining to improving
the northern division of the canal.
Lately, the average depth of water
in the canal has been not more than
three feet, greatly to the disadvan-
tage of canal boat traffic. The orig
inal depth of water was from four
and one-hsif feet to five. but the bed
of the canal is now covered with a
thick coating of mud.
While the state officers refuse to
discuss the object of their visit here,
1t is learned from reliable source S
that strong movement is now on
foot to have the canal dredged from
CoshoctOn to Cleveland, a distance
of so miles. This would put the
canal i'll better repair than it has
been lot many years.
1t is understood that the gentle
men who have been looking over the
line are instructed to make estimates
of the cost of dredging the canal. It
is further stated that the appropri-
alton of 1900 will be used for that
purpose.
1t begins to look as though the
movement to improve the business
of the canal was substantial, as there
is talk of placing many moro boats
on the line.

Pugulistic Dope.

Commenting on the Jeffries-
Sharkey fight, the Cincinnati En-
quirer has the following to say:
The rock-ribbed fact is impressed
on your mind that Fitzsimmons
made chopping block of Sharkey,
and that Jeffries badly thrashed
FitZsimmons.
"On the other hand there is an
other twist in the fighting dope that
confronts and confounds you. Gus
Rubin fought Jeffries one of
the best draws in the history of the
ring, yet Sharkey knocked Ruhlin
out in less than one round. So much
