o'CoNNoR IN THE RING.
Clever Jockey Is Matched to Box
Johnny CroWell.

Jockey Winnie O'Connor will have a
long cherished ambition fulfilled Friday
night. He has been matched to box four
rounds with Johnny Crowell at 105 pounds
on the night Gardner and Carter meet for
their second fight. Crowell is a product Of
the San Francisco Athletic Club and is
expected to make Winnie think the race
track an easier place to earn money than
the prize ring.
The fight between Gardner and Carter is
expected to prove a whirlwind affair
Gardner is anxious to wipe out his defeat
by Walcott, while Carter has unpleasant
memories of the beating he received at
the hands of Gardner at their first meet
ing. Since then Carter has increased in
weight and improved noticeably in health
His opponent has also improved espe-
cially in his boxing. He is quick to learn
and Alex Greggains has taught him a
number of useful blows Both men are
known to be game and aggressive and the
fight can hardly go the full twenty
rounds.
The preliminaries are promising. In ad-
dition to the O'Connor bout Billy Snail
ham, who has not been seen in the ring
in some months, will fight Tommy Gil
feather, ten rounds; Toby Irwin and Ar
thur Granfield are also matched for ten
rounds. Jim Mcdonald will referee the
big fight.

Government. They have also offered to
provide transportation facilities for 49,
700 men as soon as desired.
The Diario publishes telegram from
London to the effect that the British
Government has addressed a telegraphic
communication to the Chilean and the
Argentine Governments offering it's good
existing difficulties between the two
countries. The British Government adds
that it takes this step at the instance of
Chile.
Telegrams received here from Santiago
de Chile affirm that a great majority of
the members of the Chilean Congress are

Many ladies residing in the Western

past few weeks by a young woman who
has been selling them what she declares
to be handmade lace, but which upon
closer examination after the departure of
the yender is found to be nothing more
than the machine-made article, and is
worth therefore considerably less than
the ladies have paid for it. The young
woman, whose name is unknown, is in
the habit of making house to house. calls
and asking for the lady of the house. To
the latter she displays her stock of laces,
which are carried in a satchel. She is
well dressed, glib of tongue and has been
generally successful in converting her al
legged handmade laces into cash.
AS an 1nducement to intending purchas-
ers the young woman offers to instruct
them at her home in the art of making
the pretty laces if they will buy more
than one dollars worth. Then she gives
an address in the neighborhood of the
entrance to Golden Gate Park, which has
