McGovern viii Not Face Palmer.

1t looks just now as though there would not be
any contest between Pedlar' Palmer and Terry
McGovcrn. the Brooklyn fighter. Sammy Harris.
McGiovern's manager. has com to tho conclusion
that there are other boxers much easier than
Palmer Just now and has notified DIR. Ordway, the
American representative OF the club, to this effect.
II is quite likely that Oscar Gardner. the Omaha
Kid. " will get the first crack at Palmer. Paddy Sui.
Ivan, Gardeners manager. has deposited a certified
check of 81 900 with ordwa to bind a match for 81.
500 a side. Orlway has for war,led the check and
def to England. McGuvcrn's refusal to fight the
Englishman IL surprising in Wow Of the fact that
there are several sports who stand ready to back
him for q lot of money against Palmer.

Billy Delaney, came to Cambridge this after
noon and was measured by DIR. Dudley A. Sar-

companied by Steve O'Donncll. the Australian

A Lively Go between shnrker md Ryan.

SYRACUSE, Feb. 1.-The six round go be-
tween Tom Sharkey and Tommy Ryan In
this city tonight amounted to but little
more than a friendly boxing match. No
decision was given. As an exhibition IL
was Il success, and the large audience was
satisfied. Several times Sharkey rushed
the Syracuse man, hut the crowd was not in
sympathy with that sort OF thing and 1t was
not followed up. Ryan made a good showing
az n boxer. and after the 20 Sharkey compli-
mented him to his friends for his cleverness.
Ryan succeeded In landing several strong
blows on the Sailor, but he stood them like AN OK.
Shnrkey swung viciously at the middleweight
champion. but he evaded him aud got back
with heavy punches. The 20 was n lively one
from start to finish. and each acted his pref
tiest, but neither seemed to try to kuock out
his opponent.
After the contest the crowd shouted for
Sharkey, The Sailor came out upon the
ring platform and was loudly applauded. He
then made the statement that lie had instructed
his manager. Tom .O'Rourke, TO send Il repre-
the forfeit offered by Bob F%itzsimmons for "A

Charmed with thy simplicity,
You and I have older grown
Dreams have vanished; hopes have flown;
Time and customs grown apace,
Place us with the commonplace.
And the dreams that dreamed then
Have been Dire AIMED by other men;

Dreamed our dreams and then-forgot

Was the lovely gown She wore.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
For the beginning of Lent, last week
was a particularly lively one, in a
social way, and the extensive pro-
gramme of entertainments provided
was extensively patronized. Recep-
tons, parties, suppers, few weddings,
and long array of miscellaneous
events made up a season of especial in
terest, to which the week of opera add
ed no little as popular diversion. Re-
ligIous work has been active through
out the week, indicating that the social
diversions of the six days have not mil
itated to any appreciate degree against
the proper observance of the peniten-
tial season.
Below will be found a resume of the
more important happenings of the
week just closed:
Wednesday evening DR.. Charles Fris-
sell was host to seven of his profess
sional friends, at his Fourteenth Street
residence, the entertainment taking
the form of dinner. The guests were
Drs. Robert ]. Reed, Eugene Hildreth,
John L.. Dickey, L. D. Wilson, S. L.
Jepson, James Schwinn and United
States Surgeon H. B. Baguley. The
decorations of the dining room and
tables were in harmony with the day
Washington's birthday-and were verv
tasty and handsome.
~
The Colonial tea given Wednesday
afternoon at the Fourteenth street re-
sidence of Rev. and Mrs. ]. H. Littell.
under the auspices of the Young Peo-
pies Missionary Society of the United
Presbyterian church, was the means
of bringing together a large number
of the members of the congregation
and their friends. The occasion was
one of the most delightful of the mid
winter season, and was materially en-
HANGED by a musical programme, in
which Mrs. Charles o. Roemer. Miss
Gertrude Robinson and Miss Stella
Crockard took part.
Mrs. w. H. Higgins entertained a
number of friends Wednesday after
noon at her Island residence, duplicate
whist being the pastime. The hours
were from two until five p. M, and at
the conclusion of the contests refresh
ments were daintily served and were
much appreciated.
Thursday evening Ensign John S.
Doddridge, U. S. N, Miss Elizabeth
Doddridge, and Misses Bessie Lee Nc
Lain and Fannie S. Cafpbell, the form
er the sister and the latter the cousins
of Mr.. Doddridge, were guests at a
party at Toledo, given by Mr. Benson
G. McMechen, Ensign Doddridge's
uncle.
Tuesday evening Mrs. c. A. Robin
son entertained the Island Whist Club
at her South Penn street residence in a
manner in harmony with her reputa-
ton as hostess. The attendance was
small, because of the Lenten season,
but the afternoon was a very pleasant
one.
The musicale given Tuesday evening
at the South Huron street residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. George S. Skilton, under
the auspices of the congregation of the
Second Christian church, was largely
attended and was very enjoyable.
Wednesday afternoon Miss Hannah
Whally, of the Island, pleasantly en-
tertained the teachers of Madison dis
trict school at her North Front street
residence, and the occasion was a very
enjoyable one.

ENTERTAINMENTS.

He read the poets lines to her,
In accents sweet and low;
He read of tuneful streamlets that
Past blooming hedges flow,
And Nature, thus held up to view,
lmpelled his soul to soar,
But all the maiden thought about
Was the lovely gown she wore.
