 Match to be Given Next Month.
 By permission of the board of pulp lie safety the season for giving public boxing exhibitions will open next month under the auspices of the Ma tional Athletic club. For the third time this organization appealed to the board last night for permission to give q boxing exhibition and illustrated the truth of the proverb that if at first you don't succeed, try again. There were present Commissioners Kleinecke, the two FoleyS and Knox. Commissioner Hull knew that the petition from the National Athletic club would again come up and having expressed himself on the matter so thoroughly at the two previous meetings i'll the negative, he would not trust himself at q third.

 .Tames O'Neill and James Courtney, callmen, were reported absent from the fire at Joseph Srahan's building on Baldwin street. Commissioner Knox stated that this business of being ab- sent from duty is getting to be too common of late and suggested that stringent means be adopted to check it. The usual course was taken Ill this affair. The men will be heard at the next meeting. Also will Fred erick c. Nilbourn for the same cause.
 The question of issuing license for q boxing match came up next. Moe" Harris, secretary of the N. A. club, ap- peared before the board and stated that lie would be willing to do any thing reasonable for permission to hold an exhibition. He expressed willingness to deposit check for S1OO with the board as an earnest of his honesty. but as the board could not accept the money it was suggested that the deposit be made with one of the local papers.
 The matter of additional police sig nal boxes (the old ones have been used only once since they were put up) was next broached and it was agreed that the unexpended police appropriation of S1 ,500 be put into boxes and that Com missioners E. Foley and Kleinecke, with the chief of police, see to the matter.
 Commissioner D. Foley then moved to adjourn as Commissioner Knox moved to elect callman. Commis- missioner Kleinecke put both motions and neither was seconded for awhile. Then Commissioner E. Foley second ed the motion to elect a callman Then began a tug of war and for half q doz- en ballots the choice lay between John O'Gorman, James Hayes and James Kelly Some times Hayes had two some times German.
