BOXING GAME
OFF FOR PRESENT
Contest Between Gotten and

SPORT HAS BEEN KILLED
TOO MANY RAW DEALS HANDED
OUT OF LATE.

To ALL appearances the fighting game
is off in this city for some time 10
come, and those who are most in
terested in the sport will be glad to hear
it. Tom Reilly and Joe Gotten were noti-
fled yesterday by the management OF the
local athletic club that their match,
scheduled to come off on July q, had
been declared off, and that the club would
not attempt to pull off any more con-
tests for some time II this move had
been made some time ago the sport would
have been in better standing today
Boxing contests in the summer time as
a regular diet once a week are not a
paying venture in any city, and il is I'M
reasonable to expect that Salt Lake would
stand for a regular thing of II. II ever
a sport was dead in any city boxing Is

the part OF someone to revive IL 1t had
resolved itself TO a stage where every
contest pulled off here was nothing more
or less than a meal ticket affair, and
the public had become thoroughly dis
gusted with the sport.
This state of affairs has been largely
augmented by the rank fakes aud raw
deals that have been put before the pub

RAIN STOPS A TRAIN
High Water and q Washout De-
lays Canadian Pacific
Traffic.

Vancouver, B. c., July 5.-The Bow
river is dangerously high again, and
as a consequence the train due from
the east today has been Cancelled. From
Calgary comes the report that the
water in the river there was within
fourteen inches of the high water mark
from the great foods of 1887. Ranchers
in the vicinity are making every
preparation to move should the water
show a tendency to rise further. The
floods have caused some small wash
outs on the main line between Calgary
and the mountains and the Crows Nest
pass line is also affected. No through
trains are running over the main line
of the Canadian Pacific or via the
Crows Nest. 1t is expected that as
the washout on the main line is only
a small one. traffic will be resumed this
evening and through trains should be
running into Vancouver on Monday
Owing to the temporary suspension of
through traffic from the east, the sail
ing of the Empress of China, scheduled
to depart for the Orient on Monday
afternoon, may be delayed few hours
Her mails are on the Imperial Limited
flyer, due to arrive here tomorrow
