Black bass fishermen at CobbosSee-
eontee lake are not meeting with much
success just now. An old fisherman
saws that the reason for the lack of
luck is because the right kind of bait
is not used. This is the time of year,
he SAYS. when bass will readily take
that most attractive of all cast lures.
the strip of salt pork below a small
revolving spoon. Not only is this bait
one of the cleanest and most durable
and most satisfactory to use. but 1t
presents handsomer appearance UNI
der water than any other. A piece OF
pork with the skin on will last under
repeated attacks during the greater
part of the day. The bait never gets
out of order and is as effective at the
last as at the first. 1t is cheap and
portable also. Bass at this season are
in the deeper parts of the lakes and
rivers, coming to the edges early at
morning and evening, when they are
most busily feeding. In using the
spoon and pork it is well to have a
stable sinker above the spoon so that
il will be carried down for yard or
more as soon as il lands uDon the
water. Fishing in late afternoon near
the lilies. or other shallow feeding
ground. the sinker should be taken off.

doubleday be the finest exhibition ever
given by this WelI-known association.
Mechanics Building is already being
crowded with enormous crates con-
tanning the most modern and delicate
machinery Of every description. This
IS fast being put in place, and by the
twenty-second of this month visitors
will have the pleasure of witnessing
not only the manufacturing of some of

Moons and evenings. The management
have also procured a wonderful edu-
Gated morse that will give performances
every half hour. The enormous stage

and natural scenic reproduction. with
real water pouring in a marvellous cas-
cade from an enormous height into a
genuine rushing river below.
When it is considered that only %

that will include everything, it would
seem that The public had never had
presented to them before the oppor-
tunity of enjoying so much and for so
small an outlay.

scituate Athletic club at Saundersville.
Yesterday afternoon. in a 2o-round go with
Jimmie Reilly Of Brooklyn From the first
tap OF the bell Gardiner walked into his
man and in the second finished him with
a solid punch on the head.
The bout was attended by one Of the
largest gatherings of sporting men In
the history of pugilism in the state and
the sudden ending OF the bout was some
thing quite unexpected and was more or
less Of a disappointment for those who
were on hand. During the brief time the
men were fighting Gardner three times

ness. and IL was the third time that sue
ceeded
The p,Ech was a straight left inside a
left swing and IL did the business thor
oughly. because of Keuy's inability TO APP
pear his manager wanted to substitute
another man but the club engaged Gardi-
ner Reilly was the larger and heavier
man and yet Gardiner was the more ex-
perenced and was able 20 draw Reilly's
leads and could block and counter with
admirable judgment Gardiner was the
better Judge OF distance.
When the men faced each other Reilly
got in a light left and Gardiner sent both
hands TO Tesilly's body. There was clever
boxing. some clinching and shifty work.
but no hard punching had been done. In

two weeks being the Tuesday night of

that has ever been exacted in the recol-

him clevery and had tired him out did

Howe away and he went TO the limit.

The bouts before the Home Athletic

thoroughly interesting to large number
OF spectators. The first preliminary was
between Young Smith of Pawtucket and
Dave Allard OF Central Falls. six rounds,
and though this bout went the limit
Smith forced the work and had things
pretty much his own way.
Kid PAUL of Fall River and Fred
Campbell of Providence met In the next
bout and they were to go 10 rounds.

Campbell had tried to- force the work In
the first round and found PAUL willing
to meet him halfway he found he had all
he could do 10 keep away. Campbell made

fast and he followed his man up without
giving him opportunity to do damage.

rounds. Daily was taller and had q
longer reach and for two rounds honors
were easy. but after that Ashley began
to bore in and he set rapid pace. Ash
ley rushed constantly and punched hard
and though Daily was clever and occa-
sionally came back hard he did not have
the strength to last.
The third round was very busy and
Ashley forced the work constantly and
then Daily began 70 be distressed and he
clinched and hugged to avoid punish
ment. The next round, Daily was some
what stronger but Ashley kept boring IN
