WITH THE wREsTLERs.

The wrestling carnival was opened at the Old Howard in Boston Monday afternoon and evening with some. es- pecially hot bouts, full houses at both performances attesting the popularity of these exciting contests
 Tn the afternoon Robert Butler of BrocIton and John Fitzgibbons of Lawrence met-.in the first bout, Butler finally besting his. man after a grind ing struggle of 9m, 20s.. using a half Nelson and wrist hold in doing the trick. This was Buffers second ap- pearance in public...s It was also, the first time that Fitzgibbons, who is an old-time wrestler, met defeat In his own class. Tn the second bout Roe ber' Reagan had Sawyer of Marlboro as his opponent Reagan forced his opponents shoulders to the floor after n gruelling struggle of exactly five minutes.
 Two hot bouts marked the evening performance, and, although the first one, which was between Reagan and James Gflligan of Lawrence, lasted but four minutes. it was the fiercest contest of the day. Reagan kept after his man from start to finish and finally downed him by amending him, the wrist and catch hold being an import ant factor in putting Gilligan's should CTS to the mat. ssss
 Rob Reakes of Buffalo and the ssF'ly- ing Dutehman' met in the final strug- gle. This was warm contest, and, although Reakes gained the mastery, it took him exactly nine minutes

POOL SELLING HIT.

Chicago, April r. Pool selling in Illinois outside of regular race tracks or fair grounds received a blow when Judge Hartzell of the circuit court of Madison county made permanent the temporary Injunction granted against a pool room, across the river from St Louis.
 Hereafter, according to this decision, there can be nopOol rooms in the state, no matter how complacent local sher- ifs or chiefs of police may be, as long as the states attorneys of the county object. If the states attorney fails. to suppress pool rooms the attorney general of the state can step in. The matter is not of great importance in Chicago now as the last pool room was closed on Saturday and no others have been opened. but if there is any at tempt to start the method of stopping them has been pointed out.

PETER JACKSON DYING.

It is not thought that Peter Jackson will eyer return to Americaa again. as was reported. According to . letter received by Sam Fitzpatrick from Aus tralia the noted colored Heavyweight pugilist is slowly dying of consump- tion at Sydney. "The big fellow is only a shadow of his former self, 7 Fitzpat- riek's informant writes. .sHe is so weak and helpless. that it is hard for him to move to and fro without dlffi- culty When he arrived here from sAmepica Peter was sick. He looked pretty bad but soon began to pick up.s He opened boxing school but he was not as strong as of old and naturally had to, abandon it. We got-upsa bene- fit for him and this helped him out trifle. He has been unable to work since and the money soon went. Jack son is stone broke and has to depend on the charity of his friends. to five. He was examined the other day and the physician said that his case was hopeless. I wish that you could use your influence and have some of his American friends know of his condiz tion. It would be a great act to ask them to aid him, as he surely, needs it. Boxing is on the wane in Australia ew- ing to the dearth of heavyweights. We have a few good featherweights and lightweights, notably Sam Cohen. He is good one and clever"

 Place for a Race.

 Boston, April 17.-Dayid Barrie, Sir Thomas Lipton's representative in America, arrived in Boston from New York yesterday to get tender for Shamrock II. MT Barrie says he all ready has a boat provisionally engaged in New. York, but hezis here trying to find a better one.
 MT Barrie has. his eye on several Boston steamers that would be suit able for the purpose, He has had some negotiations wlln J.. R. Bacon, manager of the Boston, Plymouth and Proyincetown Steamboat company, from whom he leased the Plymouth, which was the Sharnrocks tender two years ago, but MT. Bacon thinks that he cannot spare a boats this summer.
 ''Is it true that Sir Thomas Upton is coming to Boston ?'' was asked, and to Boston after the races, and it is not at all unlikely that lie may bring the Shamrock II here, although the ques- ton is not settled on definitely as yet.'
 .If he brings Shamrock II here, is there any probability that there will be a. race with Independence" To this question NIr Barrie replied that he did not know anything of such plau. Sir Thomas representative is not enthusiastic oyer Boston as a place for a race between large yachts.
 Boston has no docking facilities for a yacht the size of the Shamrock H." he said linen the facilities for get ting in and out of Boston are not so good as New York. (
 Regarding the question of having Boston boat in, the race, AIr Barrie only would say:
 ..The more the merrier I think it is good thing for the sport to have several people competing for the honor of defending tie clip?'

 Middletown, April 17-Patsy Swee- ney of Manchester, N. H.. put it all over Joe Carter of Brooklyn in their tWenty-round bout before the Sampson A. c. at the McDonough theater, last night, and won easily after a little more than a minute of fighting in the fourth round. The men met at catch weights, each sealing about 138 pounds. The fighting was rather slow, Carter making the best showing in the first round, when he landed frequent. ly with right and left. Sweeney slipped to the floor, but was up in an instant. In the second round Sweeney used hard left to the face and rights to the body, and the end Of the round had Carter weak and bleeding. In the third Carter made a fierce rally, but his blows, which landed frequent ly, lacked steam, and Sweeney laughed at him. Near the close of the round Carter was practically unable to de-. fend himself and fell to the floor to save himself, taking count of nine. Sweeney punished him severely in the few seconds before the gong sounded. In the fourth Sweeney hammered his man to the floor, and without waiting for the count Bill Hill. Carter's second, dragged him out of the ring and into his corner. Referee John Pollock of New York gave the fight ito Sweeney. In the ten round preliminary Tommy Hogan put Harry Hofner to sleep after one minute and thirty-nve seconds or fighting in the first round Hogan put Hofner down with solar plexus blow as soon as he got up,, and put him out with a right on the jaw.
