HOWE & STETSON.
RICE D E.F,EATS DIXON.
Given Decision After Twenty Rounds
 of Hard Fighting.

l New London, Conn.,, Dec 19.--Tht | hardest and fastest fight that this cit, 1 has ever witnessed occurred tonight | when Austin Rice of New London an6 | George Dixon of New York met fol 1 twenty rounds at 122
 The twentieth round was the hardest of all and had the boys commenced ali the gait they travelled in that round the fight would never have gone ten rounds Both men came up strong. and as they
 shook hands both smiled, There was
 no delay in getting to work and for the
 first thirty seconds Dixon succeeded in
 doing the most landing. Then the
 tables turned and Rice had the honors. Several times he landed on Dixon's jaw and got away with light punishment. It seemed as though some of the blows should have done the trick, but the steam was lacking and both men were still on their feet and fighting strong when the gong finished the fight
 The crowd arose to it's feet at the close and clamored for decision. The majority were for Rice but Dixon had his supporters. MT Pollock announc-? :? ed Rice the victor, and the crowd cheered itself hoarse though a few crawled through the ropes and synpa- thized with Dixon. The decision was popular and equal.
 In the preliminary Thompson of Hartford lay down before Young Riley of Ivoryton after two minutes and two seconds of the third round of what was to have been ten round bout.

 Large blocks of the stock were un-
 loaded immediately business began on the exchange to-day, and about half an
  points made yesterday was wiped out.

 Street Lighting.

|Aees hhN'h''Hk
 At the meeting of the board of
 finance last night the controller was au-
 thorized to borrow $100,0OO in anticipa-
 tion of taxes.
 Earlier in the evening a representa- tive of Cleveland, O., vapor lighting | company at meeting with the mayor
 and the lamp committee explained a system of lighting from a gasoline vapor which he said would produce as 1 good light as that of electric and gas 1 lights at a greatly reduced cost. He 1 said that in place of an electric light l costing $90 per year a vapor light of 1 equal quality could be maintained for | $63 per year. He said that if the lights
 which he was exploiting were adopt ed in New Haven for street lighting the city would save thousands of dollars each year.
 The lamp committee appeared before the board of finance and informed that board of the suggestions concerning the vapor light and such a favorable impression was produced that the mat ter will be investigated It was stated that 5000 of the vapor lights had just been ordered by the city of Cleveland.
