much like Oscar Gardner, in that he
is disposed to be lenient in the matter
OF weight, although his friends have
pointed out his shortcomings in this
respect. @Tt appears that the original
agreement was made to weight in at
three o'clock at 40 pounds Then the
Kennedy people asked that 1t be raised
to 142, on the ground that Eddie couse
not do the weight Without much hes
itation, Collyer consented. Callyer had
his weight forfeit of 500 in the hands
Of the club officials, but it apears that
Kennedy had not posted a forfeit
When Kennedy therefore announced
that the match would have to be pull
ed OFF at catch weights, the alterna-
tive presented 10 Collyer was, agree or
no contest He chose the former.
Kennedy will certainly have all the
advantage of Collyer when the two
step into the ring, but there are many
people who will root" for Collyer for
the simple reasons which are here
given. If Pittsburg ever gets the worst
of it in a sporting deal here, the Mil
lenninim will be at hand.
Billy Corcoran, of Pittsburg, manager
of Jack McClelland, was down Friday
to try to arrange with the NJ. A. c. to
pull off the bout between McClelland
and Mason, of New York, in this city.
The date Corcoran wanted was Sep
TENDER 3rd, but the NJ. A. c. officials
are now dickering for the Kennedy
Bennett bout on that date. Either one
or the other will certainly take place
here. Corcoran wanted the 4th if the
other contest is pulled off on the Srd,
but the NJ A. C. officials do not think
well of contests on two successive
nights. There is a side bet of $500 in
the McClelland-Mason match.

THE BOAT TOO SMALL.

District Customs Inspector Keister,
who was boarding officer for the month
of March ended this month Sunday by
almost falling into the harbor when he
was trying to get aboard the bark Mo
hican. The lack of a proper boat for
the customs men to go out in was the
cause of KeisteT's being so near to find
ing a watery grave. Two years ago an
appropriation of $4,000 was made for
the purchase of a steam launch, and
the customs men dreamed for a few
months of the coming steam craft But
it has never come. Negotiations are
under way for securing a launch, as
they are supposed to have been for over
two years.
The boat in which the custom house
men have to board vessels is declared to
be too small for the purpose. 1t cannot
be handled quickly enough, and yester-
day, as 1t was coming round alongside
the Mohican, which was moving quite
rapidly, 1t almost turned over. Kiester
made a flying leap for the ladder of the
Mohican, and managed to get aboard.
The same thing has happened before,
