IEFFRIES ARRIVES

With his skin heavily Drowned, his face
looking a triffe drawn, his eyes clear and
bright, James J. Jeffr1es tonight ninbIy
stepped off the train at the Pennsylvania
railroad station, in Jersey City Sharkey
will not arrive until tomorrow. The
heavyweight champion of rhe world had
come mp on the half past train from his
training quarters at Arenhurst, accom-
panied by his brother Jack, Tommy Ryan
and Billy Delaney. Having exchanged
greetings with his friends, the broad
shouldered Californian walked briskly
toward the ferry boat, and came over to
this city. On his arrival at the Twenty
third street ferry, he and his trainer
jumped into a cab and were driven to the
Vanderbilt hotel, where he will remain
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when
he will leave for Coney island.
AS Jeff walked into the hotel, comment
on the activeness of the Caifornians legs
and general good appearance was heard.
Criticisms on the champions appearance
were of a favorable nature. His shout
ders appear to be broader than ever, but
his limbs appeared rather small.
Although Sharlxey had planned to come
to the city tonight, he changed his mind
at the last moment, and decided to remain
at his training quarters at Newdorp
Staten Island, until tomorrow morning
when he will leave for the battle ground.
BETTING IS SLOW.
Many sporting men from different parts
of the country arrived in this city to-
night. They all came here to see the
big battle. Delegations from Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Denver, Omaha, Cincinnati, Washington,
Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo and Albany
registered at the various hotels. Many of
the visitors seemed to favor Sharkey,
but they asked for odds of 10 to g. and,
as result, they made few wagers.
The sale of seats for the contest has
been enormous, and the indications point
to the largest assemblage ever seen at
the r1ngside in this country Every box
and more than half the reserved seats had
been sold up to midnight tonight As the
management of the Coney Island club ia
charging $40 more for box seats than was
ever asked for a championship battle in
this vicinity before all concerned will
reap a rich harvest. The winner of the
contest will receive three-quarters of 66 pa
per cent of the gross receipts. It was
estimated tonight that the winners share
would be about $30,000-quite snug sum
for an evenings work.
Jeffries and Sharkey are scheduled to
enter the ring fifteen minutes before 1C
o'clock. Each principal has promised to
be in the club house at half past
o'clock. Jeffries dressing room will be
on the west side of the building, the same
he occupied when he fought Fitzsimmons.
Sharkey will use the dressing room on
the east side of the building.
Preceding the big event there will be a
ten-round bout between kid" Goulet, OF

Burglars at ROxbury.

The large safe in the store of D. L. Nichols
at Roxbury was blown open by burglars at
o'clock Tuesday morning, just as the south
bound night train was pulling into Roxbury
station. The burglars effected an entrance
to the store by a rear window, drilled the
safe and evidently timed the explosion just as
the heavy express train was passing the store.
The noise of the explosion awakened Mr..
Nichols. He grabbed his revolver and was
at the scene inside of minute. Looking
through window he could see the burglars
at work on the inside of the safe. He fired,
hitting one of the burglars. but they both
fed in the darkness without being recog-
nized. They got no money but the safe is
practically ruined. Mr.: Nichols has we'll
grounded suspicion as to who his midnight
visitors were and arrests will probably follow.
One window was badly shattered by the
force of the explosion. The cash register,
money drawer and postoffice money drawer
were opened, but nothing was taken so far as
can be learned. The burglars left the store
by the front door, firing two shots at the
house as they went. A number of near
neighbors beard the explosion. The general
opinion is that the rogues boarded the night
train north.

The National Guard.

The supreme court has decided that the
National Guard of Vermont still exists, and
that every member of it is war veteran.
Some time ago Governor Smith asked the
supreme court for its opinion on the status of
the National Guard, and the decision was
written by Judge Taft which establishes the
fact that the old First Regiment is yet alive
and good for splendid service when occasion
requires.
The substar ce of the supreme courts opin-
ion is that the First Regiment practically
went into the United States army on leave of
absence and, upon its return, resumed its old
status; that all former members OF the Ma.
tional Guard who went to the war are still
members of the National Guard that all for
mer Guardsmen who did not go are honor
ably discharged from service; and that citi-
zen volunteers who enlisted to bring the COM
panies up to a war strength, upon their mus
ter out returned to civil life aud are not mem
bers of the National Guard.
So, as it is now, every one of our "play
soldiers" is war veteran. What a nucleus
for National Guard regiment is there!
