Boxing at Music Hall Last Night


 Boxing at Music Hall Last Night
 Costello Beats McNally. The local followers of pugilism saw what will probably prove the last fight in this city for many day. Opposition of the city officials is said to be the cause of discontinuing boxing exhbi- tions here. A large body of spectators assembled on the top floor of Music hall to witness the bouts presented at the annual smoker of the Santa Maria A. c. They saw good boxing, though the last bout was not strictly as adver- tised. In one preliminary Clabby of Providence and McAvoy of this city went six rounds at catch weights to a draw The other proved more exciting. Costello local undefeated conner, had McNally of Bridgeport so nearly out that Referee Marty McCue humanely stopped the bout. Costello sent his man down three times in the second round and was never headed
 Thomas Hayes (vice Jansen, resign ed) then came on for fifteen rounds with Dan Duane of New York
 Each scored knockdown and Duane slipped to the floor once. Hayes wild swings, when ducked, made him lose his balance quite often. and he was trlpped once. Duane shed the only blood spilled, from a tap on the nose in the second, which was started twice afterward. Hayes was severely beaten about the neck and face, and Marty McCue called the bout a draw. MT. Kenyon was timekeeper. The club fs to be congratulated on offering so good an entertainment.

In the "Recollections of New Eng,

an inventor and studious man. who
sometimes became so absorbed in
thought as to forget both place and
people. His wife was a notable house,
keeper, but she did not always go to
church. One Sunday she accompanied
her husband thither, and glad and
proud was he. But when the service
was over ne walked away home. leav-
ing her behind. Mrs. Bush was grew
ed. "My DEAR she said, when she
reached the house, II don't know what
people will think. You came away
without me. 1t was plain to be seen
that I was entirely forgotten!" Mi.
Bush looked at her in comical dis
may. Forgotten, my dear?" said he.
ooh, no. don't think that's possible.
Why!" a brilliant idea striking him,

Mems shirtwaists In Rome.


Whatever may be the ultimate fate
of the shirt waist man in this country,
he is already established on a firm
footing in the Eternal City of Rome.
Victor Emmanuel, the Count of Turin.
and only two removes from the throne
of Italy. has given the shirt waist his
sanction, and all the Roman dandies
have been quick to follow his example.
The Count of Turin is one of the
most enterprising and interesting
young Princes in Europe. He has
Travelled widely, coming to this coun-
try in 1898 and spending part of the
next year hunting big game in Asia.
In adopting the shirt waist for hot
weather wear the count has made some
startling innovations in the decoration
Of the garment. On one of his shirt
waists the buttons are made of gold
ten lire pieces, set in two rows down
the front of the garment, beginning
at the top close together and ending
at some distance apart below. On an
other waist the buttons are made Of
