The Record
OF a Year.
Over $Ioo, 900 Expended for Buildings and Inn
provements During the Past Year.

In accordance with its regular custom
the Review this week gives to its readers
the annual record of building improve
ments which have been made IN this cl-
ty during the past year. It is gratifying
to note that while there has been moth
ing in the way of a boom during the
year the amount expended for its new
buildings and Improvements reached the
grand total of $1OO,4s5. The figures
here gwen were obtained by actual can
vass and are in most instances those Civ
en- by either the owners Of the property
or the contractors by whom the improve
ments were made and are as accurate as
it is possible to obtain.

IT'S BOOMING.
Air Power Stock Has Been Making Great
Advances.

The stir of the development of the
ar motor companies during the last
TWO weeks in financial circles is attested
by the attention which the Boston Fin
ancial news gives the various air motor
schemes in recent issue. 1t states
that; American Air Power stock is
the feature of the outside securitieo
market today The closing price on
saturday was As 1-2, and on sales of
ABOUT 1900 shares the stock advanced
TO % IL, a gain of II points. It has
just sold at 3d.
1t is stated that the relations be-
tween the company and the new Inter
national Air Power Company, incorpor-
ated on Saturday, are strictly indepen-
dent as yet, but that the officials Of
both companies are negotiating to bring
ABOUT a consolidation OF the two com
panies. 1t is pointed out that the Am
erlcan Company owns all the valua Bile
patents, and has very strong financial
backing. while the International Com
pany has comparatively nothing ex
cept some very strong names. II is
said that without the American. the
new International Company can do it,
tie or nothing.

CORNELL'S MOVE.
Will Ithacans Consent t.
New London Course?

Cambridge, Jan. 16.-A conference of
Harvard and Yale rowing authorities was
held at the Hotel Vendome, in Boston,
this afternoon. President Preston and
Capt Allen of the Yale navy, and Capt.
Higginson and Manager Mann of Har-
ward, were the conferees. An entirely
amieable understanding on the attitude
of the two New England universities to-
ward Cornell was reached, and although
the transactions of the meeting have been
kept carefully guarded, there is little
DOUBT as TO what the actual relations of
the three parties are.
= Harvard and Yale both wish to row
cornell, and there is no truth in the re-
cent reports that they intend to assume
any dictatorial attitude as to the terms
under which the race is to be rowed. Both
Harvard and Yale are however, fnfu-
eneed by the fact that their alumni and
nndsergraduates are practically unanimous
The recent unofficial utteTanoes of the
yale alumni weekly, giving the Yale side
Of the case are heartily echoed at Cam
bridge. Under these circumstances the
Harvard and Yale authorities hardly feel
lustlhed in agreeing to row at Pough-
keepsie, or under any other circumstances

make 1t less accessible to the alumni and
undergraduates

the sake Of rowing Cornell, as the lat

incident to the time-honored contest be-
tweea Harvard and Yale. It is an in
cidenl that both desire in perfect good
faith-but at New London Rowing men
are inclined to draw this conclusion from
the present state of things. Harvard and
Yale will row at New London beyond a
doubt. Whether Cornell can Join them

BOUTS
Program for Boxing at the
Rink is Complete.

Success seems assured for the boxing
tournament at the rink this evening.
Those who have been making the ar
rangements for the affair have secured
some strong attractions and the advance
sale of seats has been encouraging. The
expenses of the tournament figure up to
nearly $3.50 and if the promoters get their
money back in this their first attempt,
they will be satisfied.
The card offered is by far the best thus
rar this season. The men who will appear
in the exhibition bouts are, with very few
exceptions, men of reputation throughout
New England. They are the men who par
tlcipate in the B. A. A smoke talks"
and have been induced to come to Wor-
cester through influence brought ia bear

ENDS IN A DRAW.
Spike Sullivan and Ed Con-
molly Had a Hot Go.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 16.-The
fistic battle at the Hyperion Theatre
between Spike" Sullivan of Boston
and Eddie Connolly of st. Johns. N. B.,
20 rounds for purse of $500, ended
in draw this evening. The fight was
a spirited one, naIred, however, by
repeated and persistent clinching by
both men. Connolly had TO be warned
twice for apparent fouling At the
conclusion of the bout, he protested
angrily at Referee John Sheehan's
decision, claiming the night.
Up to the 19th or 18th round, Con-
molly had a little the better Of the ar
gument but Sullivan came up stronger
again for a few rounds. His stamina
and gameness were remarkable and
won him many friends. Connolly
seemed the stronger puncher, and the
more telling hitter. He was a whirl-
wind in mode of boxing and rushed
Spike" to the ropes repeatedly.
From the start the men clinched, but
gave no trouble on the breakaway.
They were cautious, but not bent on
taking unfair advantage, until Connol-
~ tried to take a punch or two out
of Spike on the hug.
1t was either mans fight in the last
fdently expected by the spectators but
which man would fall, it was impossi-
bic to tell The blows came thick and
fast in succession, and the boxing was
clever. Sullivan's ducking and leg
work were marvelously good and Con-
molly gave a fine exhibition of hard
hitting, several times tattooing his op-
ponent's face and shoulders with the
blood that he drew.
Peter Maher was in Sullivans corner
Sullivan was taller and lighter than
Connolly, and apparently of greater
staying powers. But he was unable
to hit so hard as the latter, who had
pile-drive force in MS iabs.
In the 10th round when both were
afraid of a telling punch, they Rugged
each other ten times in succession,
giving the referee great trouble. for
he had to separate them by main
force
During the wait for the principal
bout, Peter Maher challenged the
heavyweights of the world to a finish
fight, Tom Sharkey preferred, but no
corners barred. He said he preferred
SharkeY, because his former battle
with him was not decided.

New England League, has a say or a
vote in the disposition Of the Worces-
ter franchise, as he would in case of
any other city. If after he finds that
the special committee decides to grant
the Eastern League rights here to
Alarston, he is unwilling to cast his
vote for selling territorial rights here
for $500 and induce 4 majority of the
other New England League men to do
the same thing, there is still another
step left.
Manager Finn of the Newport team,
who would like to see Marston get in
at Worcester and VINO has a vote in
the New England League sessions
through ownership IN the Newport
Club, together With President Moy of
Pawtucket. would both withdraw from
the New England League That would
leave only three clubs, there would be
no league, territorial rights in Worces-
ter could no longer be claimed, and the
first man to apply for protection for
Worcester would have that application
granted.
But there is little likelihood that this
extreme step will be taken.
