the name of the young woman it rep

moment TO say that the painter has
been entrusted with not a few royal
and imperial commissions, and the sub
ject of the painting is an American
lady whose beauty has won the admi-
ration Of several members Of the Royal
Academy and OF Continental painters
and sculptors.
During her stay in England. which

first time the academicans who painted
the present picture. The artist followed
his Introduction to the young woman
by requesting the very great pleasure
and honor of being permitted to paint
an exquisitely beautiful face and fig

May BE Made for the Wheeling Gun
Club in the Near Future.
There is a movement on foot among
the members of the Wheeling Gun
Club to secure more desirable quar-
tiers thar those at present occupied.
The club is now the largest by far of
the kind in point of numbers in the
State. The full complement of the
membership roll is about 1870, and it
has only been the opposition OF a
number of the less active members
that the location of the traps have not
been changed long ago. Some OF the
arguments advanced by those in favor
of the change is that in the first place
the traps are badly located, for shoot
ing, especially if the day is bright.
The traps sit directly on the river
bank and the glare of the light Off the
water blinds the marksmen. The club
quarters are also cramped.
The plans proposed by the members
who are in favor of the change are to
secure a site in Mount de Chantal on
the old rife range and build a new
and much larger house. The organi-
cation is also in an excellent condi-
ton financially to carry out the pro-
posed plans.
If any steps are taken in the matter
work on the new quarters will be be-
gun at the earliest possible moment,
since it is the intention of the Wheel
ing club to have the annual State
shoot in this city early in May. The
change will be very acceptable to a
greater number of the club members.

TO-NIGHT'S BOUT

Between Mike Donovan ana Billy
Edwards, at the Fulton Club
House.
There is every promise of a crack
a-Jack bout, and every indication of a
good attendance at the NJ. A. C. club
house tonight, when Mike Donovan
and Australian Billy Edwards strips
for their twenty round go under Mar
quis of QueenEfoerry rules. Donovan
is in the city, and feels confident of Sc
curing the decision Over ais opponent.
There has been a large sale of seats.
The main bout will be preceded by a
good ten-round preliminary.
Billy Edwards put in a hard days
work Saturday and rested Sunday. Sat
urday morning. wiz his trainer, and
two local men, he went out for his road
run. Edwards left them far in the rear
and surprised his company by his
great stride. He fairly flies over the
ground and seems to never tire. In
the afternoon he put in three hours at
Oscar Gardeners in hard work, such as
punching, dumb-bell exercise, rope
jumping and wrist work. He put
three punching bags out of business
and surprised those present by his
great strength, hitting ability and
quickness. Edwards is down to weight
and will enter the ring fit to go the
route. He expects Donavan to give
him a good fight, but Edwards is con-
fdent of being the winner and will
make the fight of his life, as defeating
Oonavan means a match with Joe
Walcott, whom Edwards has been after
for a long time.
BY terms of agreement he and VOL
colt are to meet, the winner to take
all. Manager Jim Gagan is satisfied
with his mans condition and is sure
of him winning before the limit. He
has already placed some money on his
man, and will bet more at the ringside.
as will also some of his friends who
will be here to witness the fight from
New York and Louisville.

Oficials Of the Interstate base ball
league have been INDUCING in news
paper talk of late. and have discussed
plans for the coming season, in none
of which has Wheeling figured as a
member of the organization. 1t is very
evident that Wheeling is not wanted
provided a sufficient number of other
cities car be secured, and it is possible
that this city will not be represented
by a professional base ball club during
the coming summer. 1t is a rather
hard pill for the local fans" to swal-
low, but they may be compelled to gulp
it down.
1t is within the range of probability,
however, that the well-laid plans OF
Powers, Stroebel ct al. may go astray,
in which event they will be again
knocking at the doors of Wheeling.
Powers circuit embraces Dayton, To-
ledo, Louisville and Mansfield. The
idea Of placing Mansfield in a circuit
of such cities is little short of ridieu-
lous. Wheeling is not considered be-
cause Sunday games cannot be played
here. How is Mansfield to make both
ends meet without Sunday games?
The condition of affairs in base ball
dom is all chaotic, and the circuit
makers can state nothing definitely.
This applies to every league in exist
ence, and to none more particularly
than to the Interstate. 1t is almost
a s~tereotyped phrase that Wheeling
has not been treated right by the Inter
state, but the situation is such that
the city is complete to take what is
offered, and cannot grasp what is
withheld. Nevertheless, it is reason
sfoly certain that a reputable manager,
who al give an assurance that Sun
day games may be played here, viii!
be given a favorable hearing by the
gentlemen who now appear to control
the destiny of the league.
Pop" Lyle, who got together the
Nailers of last season, is not taking
any interest in the situation, and
claims to have several offers from
western cities which he now has under
consideration.
Apropos OF the question of Sunday
games, it might repay any person who
is interested, to consult the owners of
the second Of the Sisters Islands, lying
in the Ohio river above Martins Ferry.
1t is the Intention of the present own
ers to improve the island, with a view
to making it an amusement resort, and
this might offer a solution of the Sun
day base ball question. There are sew
eral methods OF reaching the island.
When the river is too low for boats.
excursion trains might run UP over
The Panhandle, and it will be but a
short time until an electric, railway
line is in operation.
