AN ATHLETIC CLUB RAIDED.
Arrests Made to Test the New Prize
Fight Law.

NEW YORK, May $40 test the valid
ity of the police commissioners action in
refusing to grant renewals OF licenses to
the boxing clubs of Greater New York for
the period from May l, when the licenses
expired until September l. when the Lew
is law prohibiting such matches goes into
effect. a boxing match was held at the
Broadway Athletic Club at 1870 O'Clock
this afternoon. George Considine, the
manager of the club; Jimmy Hayward
and kid" Thomas, the participants in the
bout, were arrested by Detectives Hall,
Mcguire, and Calvin, acting under the or
ders of Captain Chapm. n. of the Mercer
Street station.
The only spectators present were a half
dozen club members. including the mana
ger and secretary. Emanuel Friend. the
counsel for the club; newspaper men, and
police officers. AS the law prohibits exhi-
billions only where an admission fee is
charged few of the spectators paid 81
each in order that a thorough test might
be made.
Inspector Thompson had given orders
that the bout should be prevented. If pos
sible, without the arrest of the partici
pants. After long consultation between
Timothy d. Sullivan. who has an interest
in the club. Manager Considine, and his
force the police to take action.
The arrangements Of the boxing clubs
have been confidently expecting that the
police board would rescind its action and
