IT WAS A Joke.
Meeting Of White and Rern Was Re-
suit Of Friendly Wager.
Hern Would Not Be Bluffed and Result Was
He and White Were Arrested.

The arrest. last Saturday afternoon.
OF John Hern and Edward White. on
the charge of engaging i'm glove con-
test without having been duly licensed
TO do so, has caused as much laughter
as IL has evoked comment.
In the first place the police authori-
ties do not issue such licenses, using
ing matches and that match had been
pulled off i'm one OF the theatres caused
everybody TO ask what it all meant.
IL Is true that both the alleged prin-
ciples are under bonds and that for a
brief season they experienced what 1t
Is to be in durance vile: but the explain
alton reduces the affair TO the level or
a Gilbertian comic opera.
Ed. White is a trainer and a profes-
sional pugilist. lie was for quite
while John l.. Sullivan's. sparring part
ner and trainer. and there Is a six
minutes fit of sickness in either of
his brswny fists.
John Hern is the saloon keeper, who
does not aspire 10 the honors of the
fistic arena, and III he did. would fare
poorly with I'D. White, IL the latter
menat business: but he won't take
blum. and thereby hangs a tale.
One day last week White was In
Hern's place. and Jack remarked that
he would like TO put on the gloves with
Ed
White stumped Hern to appear on the
Westminster theatre stage where
White and his wife were playing an
engagement, and in the shake Of "A
lambs tail a forfeit of $25 was agreed
upon: that is Hern would purchase s25
worth OF tickets If he failed to ma
terialize.
To make things straight, application
was made 10 Deputy Chief of Police
Egan for a boxing license and this be-
ing refused, an appeal was fruitlessIy
made 10 Mayor Baker. There was where
the mistake was made. Had the bet
been quietly carried out, nobody would
have been the wiser.
Friday night White was on the stage
with his wife and an extemporaneous
dialogue ensued between them.
II saw John down street. today"
Did your
"Yes. and he said he'd like to put the
gloves on with you. BY the way, here
he comes now"
At this point Hern trundled on 10 the
stage on a wheel and made funny
stop and fall.
"Ha. ha!" exclaimed White. IF he
can't box any better than he can ride

Hern, facing the footlights, saw his
friends in the front rows of chairs. who
had come up 10 the theatre TO see him
funk. smiled and said We'll. you fell
lows didn't think had sand enough to
get up here. we'll, here l am ...
Then the two men shook hands and
White toyed with Hern for three
rounds and Jack won the forfeit from
the other side whatever IL had been ar
ranged TO be, and the awful mill was
over.
Expecting that the men would have a
scrap because they had applied for
the license, the police had watchers on
hand and complaints against White
and Hern very naturally followed.
The only serious feature about the
affair is, that IL the complaints are
sustained in the upper court, a heavy
penalty may follow.
Both gave bail a few hours after
their arrest. We'll known sporting men
furnishing the surety.
