multitude knowing it, the lamps will feel the impulse of the turning on of the mighty current from Niagara. With the stat@liness and dignity of a June sunrise this change from day light to artificial light will take place. The careful observer will notice tinge of red in the lamp, and this will grow brighter and brighter as the resistance to the flow of the cur rent is reduced in the great rheostat used for dimming effects. Winter and Whiter will be the glow and brighter and brighter the effect until the lamp is under full incandescence. Then the myriaus of lamps will shine in all their glory to the delight of all. This lighting up in the evening W. arouse the enthusiasm and cheers of every body who sees it. It will be an elec- tric sunrise. Can one imagine the beauty of it?

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.
The American ExDositfon to Be Lighted by Hundreds of Thou
 sands of Them.

In a recent interview Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor, said:
 "Nes, the incandescent lamp is still my pet. I feel that the best of those who are working with the lamp, even to-day, know little or nothing about it." It is evident that Mir. Edison feels that there is much about the popular incaudc.cent lamp that is still to be developed for the benefit of mankind. Inventor Edison's belief and statement are of particular in terest at this time, because the Pan American exposition grounds are to be lighted by incandescent lamps. Hundreds of thousands Of them will be used, and the grounds will glow with greater illumination than has ever been used at any previous expo sitiOn. And then, in the evening, when day is about to give way to the coming of night, these lights are rot to burst upon the sight with their full rich glow all at once.

BRADY GETS INJUNCTION.

Thetrouble about the money made by the promoters of the last six day bi cycle race resulted yesterday in an in junction being granted by Justice Truax in the supreme court restrain ing Jim Kennedy and P. T. Powers disposing of the funds they obtained. The injunction was granted on the suit of William A. Brady. and the court also granted the application of Brady's counsel for receiver to the profits of the six-day race and Wilbur Mcbride was appointed. Kennedy, Brady and Powers organized the American Cycle Racing association under the name of which the last several siX-day events in Madison Square Garden have been run. including that of 1897, when the track was not properly measured Brady alleges that he still has a one third interest in the profits of the as- sociation.

JOHN L. TALKS,

Prize fighting. so called, has been thoroughly exploited as to it's exact meaning in Cincinnati, even if the big mill is prohibited. It was left for William Madden to say that prize fight was an affair decided with bare knuckIes, while boxing match WAS a contest with padded gloves. He even asserted that the last prize fight de- cided in this country was that between Sullivan and Kilrain. and that John L. is still tile champion prize fighter of the world" because he was not beaten by Corbett in bare knuckIe encounter This is drawing the line pretty fine. but there are other ring ex- perts who hold the same opinion that Madden sets forth. John |. Sullivan. when asked for an opinion yesterday, said: Boxing with gloves Is tame sport when compared with pare knuckles fighting. The modern way is harmless because a fellow who gets punched in the face or body with the mitts doesn't receive bruises that either mark or maim him for life. in the days when We used our naked nStS a man was more likely to break his own hands and thereby put hlmseif out of it than hurt the other fellow. But at that there were more broken nos g. cracked jaws and bloody gasheS,
 to say nothing Of fractured flDS. tEah we hear of nowadays. In glove con
 tests there isn't as much Teal fighting
 as there used to be in the old days with the raw 'uns. The modern pro
 fessionals know how to kill tim2 by
 dancing around the ring, round after
 round. sometimes without striking d dangerous blow. There is too much
 defensive business and too little slug
 ging to suit the veterans who used to
 sae mills under difficult circums stanCes.
 There is an unnecessary hue and cry
 against boxing now that would have
 been justified when We used to battle
 without the pillows. l don't mean to
 say. mind you. that some of the big fights are not gruelling affairs. bat l do say that if some of the people who are bowling the loudest could See tirst-class glove fight conducted in ac- cordance with the rules of the ring and witnessed by orderly crowd. they would open their eyes i'll astonlshment.
 Prize fighting is bad word to use. It doesn't mean what it did fifteen years ago. There are more boxers than fighters in the ring to-day, and Suiil- van never was boXer.'

MITCHELL WILL NOT FIGHT.

Charles Mitchell. formerly a clever English boxer. will arrive in New York today. and it is asserted in some guar ters that he intends to again enter the ring. The BritOn has not the slightest intention of putting on the gloves again. except possibly for exhibition purposes. The prime reason is that Mitchell could no more get into con- dition than could John l.. Sullivan. Mitchell is now 40 years of age, and while he has not trotted quite so rap idly as the Boston boy, yet has not kept in condition and has grown re- markably stout. Although but five feet nine inches tall, yet Mitchell is said to scale over 200 pounds in weight Fitzsimmons is past the forty year mark, and still fights. The Cor nishman, however. is an eXcept!on never getting out of good physicaI condition. Mitchell will be cordially received. for he was always popular with the sporting contingent.

BURGE-DRISCOLL FIASCO.

As was expected the bout between Dick Burge, the former lightweight champion of England, and Jerry Dris- coll, which was decided at Galeshead on January 2S, proved to be fiizzle. The men were to have fought for purse of $2,75O, but they received onl y .$75 each. This was on account of their foul tactics in the ring. The referee repeatedly wafned them not to foul each other. In the second round the referee became disguated and left the building. Neither boxer would agree to another referee and the spectators left. There was only little money in the house and the fighters were glad to get the amount they received.

 The other day he boarded street car after the senator got on. Walk ing through the ear he looked straight into the eye of the senator and sang in a clear voice:

 The passengers laughed, and the senator looked emba rra.ssed. Passing through the car the newsie turned again toward the senator and sang:
 Because he makes them goo-goo eyes,"
 There was another outburst of laughter, and the senator looked more disturbed than ever.
 Finally the boy walked toward the front of the car, where the senator was sitting.

 Farmer Brown, the we'll known twirler, who pitched good ball i'll the Connecticut State league, last year. is keeping himself in gOod condition this Winter working hard in the coal mines at his home at Buena iSta up the Ioughlogheny river.
 From Baltimore. the home of John McGraW. comes Il report that peace ne- gotiatiOnS are under way between the. Nat!onai and American leagues: thai they have been conducted by President Ban Johnson and James 4. Hart and that ten years agreement, drawn up by them. will be presented to the Ma tiOnal league for ratification at an ear. ly date. II is further stated that the American league will agree to respect all National hague contracts and will withdraw from Boston. taking Louis vile into the circuit instead. Manager Mack of the Philadelphia American league club said yesterday that he knew of no such negotiations, for he had been in close touch with Johnson every day for month past and had l received no intimation that peace was l in sight. If it should turn out to be 1 true that peace is to be declared be tween the National and American | leauges, what will be come of the American association and it's pro motors, who were led to believe few weeks ago that they could receive the support of the National league in many ways? Whether the story is based upon fact or not, base ball men al over the country believe that the war ring factions should get together, bury
 their personal grievances and try tt
 place the game on q plane that vii

He concludes with remark to the effect that now is the time for Harvey to make his bluff good. Harvey says the only ...bluff'' he ever made to the Post man was in a letter, a copy of which the Enterprise has. That "bluf' called for a match with anybody at 135 to 10 pounds. However, he will notify the Post man that he is ready to meet any 16J-pound man Corbett may produce, except Mcleod or Burns Mcleod is now in Montreal, where he recently wrestled under the name of George F.

Harvey Parker began training imme- diately after his arrival from New York in this city Friday. He is in fine form and needs but little work to make him practically perfect. but holds to the belief that, regardless Of how easy an opponent may be, nothing is lost by training as faithfully for him as for some one who is q topnotcher. Parker does not anticipate much trou- ble in defeating Gallagher. the Buffalo wrestler, he is to meet % New York February IS. Gallagher has q good reputation in his own city and the metropolis, and evidently did not wish to lose it. as he Insisted on his go with Parker being in private. For the same reason it may be that Fleming will not agree to wrestle Parker in New York city in public. If this proves true, Brockton followers of the sport will be gratfied, as they will then have chance to See this man of whom they have heard considerable. Parker re- gards Piening as a capable wrestler. but is confident he can beat him, not withstanding Piening's much greater weight. When asked yesterday if he had heard from Kelly, Parker an swered in the negative. stating further that he is willing to back Little against
 Kelly for any time and for any req
 sonable amount, $2JO side for in-
 stance kelly's manager has been quoted to the effect that the Water bury man may yet show Parker few points about the game. Parker sug- sests that Little had better be tried by Kelly again; for Little is no match for Parker, and the latter thinks it will be some time before he will be. There are q number of heavy men in this city who will assist Parker in his training for Gallagher and Fleming. Little is fast enough for a working
 mariner. but Harvey wants to juggle weight a bit.-Brockton Times.
