For the first time in his pugiIistic ca.

decisive defeat. Last Wednesday

tsen fast aud furious rounds. Sharkey
has stood off most all of the heavy
weights, even unto Champion James j.
JeffIies, whom he fought Is rounds,
but Jeffries was awarded the decision
on points. It was clean Knockout,
that sent Sharkey to dream-land, de-
liyered by a man known only, as sec.
ond-class prize fighter. From begin.
ming to end Rubin had Sharkey wher.
ever he wanted him. No man going
down to unconscious defeat. eyer chung
more closely to the man who was his
master, no man ever fought more de-
terminedly than Sharkey fought to win
this battle. In the last round when he
was staggered so many times he made
desperate efforts when he knew he was
beaten. 1t was no chance blow nor a
fowl, that sent him to defeat. but SIM
Fly beating down of vitality. Like
many another man Sharkey has fought
once too often. He whipped Rubin
once, but he hasn't done it twice. He
misjudged his man. hence his defeat.

CADET PAUL BRA MOON CLARK

The sudden death from cerebral menin- gifts of Cadet Paul B. Clark Glass of 1aOD at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va, on the night of January 18th, came like thunderbolt to his fam fly in New York and their large circle of relaluievs and friends throughout the coun- try.
 But 19 years of age and in the beauty ter of a man with the gentleness of a woman. Worshipped in his family circle and more than loved by his fellow-cadets and all twIno came in contact with his strong but lovajbly tender personality, his less has struck ito depth not often reached. Handsomely endowed by Nature, carefully educated and nour.shed in an atmosphere of exquisite refinement, he gave promise of a career that had he been spared, would have proved honorable to hlmseif and a source of pride to his family and friends.
 Young as he was, and though abounding in life and humor, the small and great duties of life, they came within his
 scope, he cheerfuly met and faithfully executed-not for himself, but for the father mother. sisters and friends whom
 he always held so dear.
 Paul Brandon Clark was born in New
 York city November 2S, 1880, of southern pa-
 rents. His father, J. Shepherd Clark, a native of Virginia, though resident of
 Mobile, Ala. until he began his career as
 a student of the Washington and Lee uni
 versity, then under the presidency of Gen eral Robert E. Lee.
 After finishing his college course MT. rIx fO n reqfdp a n 1875 founded the Spanish newspaper, Fl Comercio, now published in this city by the company bearing his name. Latterly, in recognition of his services and through his intimate acquaintanceship with the Spanish republics of America, he was appointed by the Bolivian government consul general of Bolivia in the United States, in which ca pacity he served until a few years ago. MT. Clark is also member of the New York Southern society; member of the New York Alumni association of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, and of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. | Cadet Clark's mother. nee--Sade B. Haughton, though a resident of New York from an early age, was also of southern
 birth and parentage, her father being native of Mississippi and her mother of Alabama. A wide circle of relatives in the southern states and many cities of the north and west will mourn with the pa- rents the loss of their only son-the sub- feet of this article.
 The first official information of the death of their brother cadet came with the read ing at the morning roll call of the following general order:
