Baxter q Co.. Grain Letter.
Chicago, Jan. 7.-Wheat showed con-
siderable strength late in the session
at st. Louis. On the rally, st. Louis
houses were heavy sellers, but selling
had been of but little effect on prices,
and the market continued strong
throughout the balance of the session.
There was not much to the corn mar
ket. Prices were firm, and there was
no desire to sell May to any great eX-
tent. except by the local crowd in a
small way. Commission house demand
was sufficient to offset this selling and
the price for May ruled a little high
er. The cash demand here and abroad
was good. There was a good trade
in oats, and the market ruled firm,
showing a small advance over yester-
days close.
Provisions-Market dull. Dizziness
was due more to a lack of offerings
than from any cause There was good
steady demand, and aside from little
liquidation shortly after the opening,
the market ruled strong and higher.

H. NJ. Ayres has arrived at Shanghai

Herbert Melton Ayres, farmer, poet,
author, follower of Walton, and recog-
nized as the best authority on sports
on the Pacific, arrived Saturday from
Honolulu to accept the sporting editor

brotherhood. After the melee the two
survivors were to fight three rounds
for a purse. At the conclusion of the
argument, no one being Frustrated the
purse was divided. Had the principals
been furnished with chairs and glasses
there would have been more entertain

Next on the programme was a six
round contest between Dempsey and
Higgins, both of the Elcano. Theirs
was an affectionate meeting. Higgins

best of the weights, and he simply play
ed with his opponent, the audience
whistling the while Dear Old Pals"
The referee said that honors were about
even.
Manager Barnes's impersonation of
Billy Jordan in his Gentlemen will

way for the main event, a 20-round
contest between Jack Grace of Austria
liza and elsewhere and Charles st. Clair
of this city. Jimmy Mann refereed and
Messrs. Snowden and Samson held the
chronometers.
Prior to the bout Manager Barnes
announced that Billy BelIew challenged
the winner and that Sam. Newman
stood ready to fight any 140-pound man
in China for a reasonable purse. He
further stated that the $1,000 wager was
off on account of st. Clair being unable
to make the stipulated weight.
When the men entered the ring ST.
Clair weighed about 100 pounds, while
his opponent was many pounds lighter
The formers hands were bandaged.
After an exhibition of bad blood the
men got together and there was
speedily an exhibition of the good arti-

crouch. was aggressive from the gong
The first round which was a corker was
St. Clair's. His left jabs to body and
face plainly bothered Grace but he
early earned the disapprobation Ct the
spectators. by his rough tactics and a
marked disposition to ignore the ref
eree's orders to break clean.
Round two saw Grace apparently up
against it good and hard and many of
the unsophisticated thought that at
one stage of the game he was as good
as "out." He permitted st. Clair to
have the honors Of the round but it was
a waiting game that he was playing
and the next round showed IT.
In round three Grace took a decided
brace and it was not long before his
oDponent's face wore a worried look
Grace went to his work with a whole
which marred the other
mans phiz considerably and then an
unlocked for complication occurred
Grace was forcing St. Clair to the ropes
with a choice assortment of punches
when the latter suddenly quit fighting
and after motioning to the referee
gracefully subsidized in his corner and
there, a look of panied sur
prise planted on his face. He claimed
that Grace had kicked him in his lower
parts and had seriously hurt him.
For a while noisy opinion ran riot and
as soon as the tumUlt was queiled,
Referee Mann declared that no foul had
been committed and awarded the fight
TO Grace.
Immediately after this announcement
St. Clair suddenly recovered his health

JACK GRACE HEARD FROM.


Ayres writes in the Shanghai Times
as follows about a former Honolulu
sport:
Judging from the crowd which visit
ed the Chang Su Hos Garden on Sat
urday night, Shanghai is, what would
be termed, in sporting parlance, a great
fight town. The hall was packed and
the display of dress suits reminded one
of a "go" before the National Sport
ing Club of London.
The show started with a tug-of-war
contest for a cup between teams rep

and the sailors the third and fourth.

Those who delight in war and bloOdShed

reason to rejoice that when Congress, a
few years ago, had inserted a provision

pairs to all wooden vessels should be dis

ships Hartford and Kearsarge. Since
then the kearSarge has met the fate of
so many other ships. having been wrecked
