ATTORNEY GENERALS FIGHT.

The twenty round bout between Rube Ferns and Frank Erne for the welterweight championship of the world at the Fort Erie A. o., in Cam ada, on September g, is not likely to be held, for the attorney general, it is said, will prevent it. The officials of the club failed to get permission from the authorities to hold the contest This made the attorney general angry, and he intends having his revenge The action of the attorney general in interfering with the bout is sure to have the effect of keeping the crowd away.

Major Taylor's extraordinary work at Boston on Friday and Saturday, where he captured three of the double point races, makes him dangerous factor for this seasons championship. At present he is only eight points be- hind Kramer, who has been the leader ever since the grand circuit started and there is a good chance of the color ed by evolving a winner. Only two more championship races are to be contested on the circuit, which will wind up in New Haven on Tuesday night. In that city the race will be a half mile journey, while at Hart ford the night before, the five-mile national championship is on the pro- gram. In both races double4points are scored and if Taylor should win the two events, Kramer will have to score second in each in order to make the table a tie. Should Kramer fail to score in the first race, and Taylor wins it. both would be on even terms, and the winner of the championship crown would of necessity have to beat the other in the race at New Haven.

probably been greatly overestimatsd
Nevertheless the stoppsge of tho

for stating that the cotton manufso

suffered serious setback.
As matter of fact, while the loee
