NOTHING DOING.
Art simms evidently finds that there
is no great number Of fighters In the
Middlewest, who are anxious to meet
him. His stay at Chicago was un-
prolific Of matches, and in the mean
time the boxing game has been most
effectually squelched In St Louis.
Therefore Simms and his partner have
gone straight to the East, and will
try their luck there.
THE FESTIVE HORSE SHOW.
In all the large cities, the events
that are holding the attention Of the
fashionables and all horse lovers, are
the horse shows. In those who have
had them, or who are now enjoying
them, the interest is most keen, and
the blue ribboners are watched with
pride and admiration, as they prance
and cavort, and show their steps, both
on the tanbark and outside.
The cities whose horse shows have
not yet materialized, are busy prepar-
Ing for them, and will soon be in the
swim. Society turns out en- masse,
and the report that this is the "horse-
less age" is proved canard, al
though 1t is true that the accepted
method on getting to the horse show,
is to ride here in an automobile.
