Lew Wallace's Start.

General Lew Wallace according 10 his
own words, was a poor student In his
young manhood. He grew tired OF his
college course after six weeks and re-
turned home But his failure at college
furnished the turning point In his career.

WALCOTT.UBRIEN FIGHT

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Joe Wal
colt fought six fast rounds at the Indus
trial Athletic club In Philadelphia last
night before a crowded house. SO evenly
matched were the men that the specta-
tors were divided as to which Of the fight
ers had the better of the go. A majority
OF them seemed 10 think that the honors
belonged TO OBrien.
Throughout the fight the English cham
ion fought on the defensive, although at
times he viciously went after the colored
man, but never forced him TO break
ground. OBrien used his left on Wall
colts face and his right on the stomach,
but did not appear TO distress the colored
man.
In the second round Walcott sent in
two hot right hand punches on OBrien's
wind which took considerable steam out
OF the Philadelphia. He was quite tired
al the end of the round, but after that he
came back and fought well. Neither man
was much distressed at the end OF the
sixth round, but O'Brien showed more
evidence that he had been in a warm
battle than did his colored opponent.

FOUR CREWS TO RACE

There seems little doubt now that Har-
ward, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylva-
MIA. will meet in a quadrangular boat race
over the Lake Cayuga course Memorial
Day, May 30. IL they do not meet the
blame can be attributed to Pennsylvania
as upon the Quakers now rests 10 make
complete arrangements.
Cornell would like 10 make the race an
annual event. The Ithacans have sent out
invitations TO Harvard. Columbia and
Pennsylvania. and all have accepted ex-
except the Philadelphians, who are still
holding out for the Schuylkill course In
this city.
Cornell advances strong arguments In
support OF her plea to row the race at
Ithaca. In the first place the Ithacans
have offered To pay the expenses of all
the competing crews. This Pennsylvania
cannot afford 10 do. In the second place
the course on Lake Cayuga Is considered
superior 10 the one in Philadelphia for
a college race. and has the additional IA
cility OF affording an unsurpassed view OF
the race from start TO finish. At Phila-
delphia the only facilities for spectators
10 see the race is TO stand on either bank
OF the Schuylkill at the finish.
IL is known that Pennsylvania row.
ing authorities are agreeable to the pro-
position to transfer the event 10 Ithaca
for the purpose OF having Harvard's en-
try, but the opposition. IL is said, comes
from Coach Ward. as the local crew Is
practicing on the Schuylkill daily and
knows every bend and crook in the
course. 1t is thought, however. that the
Pennsylvania rowing committee should
overrule Wards objection in the interest
of good sport.

The Warwick and Coventry Hose COM

Arctic Centre ami it's nearby villages are

given for the strike OF the fire laddfes is
the prohibition of entertainments, teas

the ears OF the members Of ST. James
