under whose auspices the trial was made,
was presented to the board
The length of the track was not ques-
toned. The point at issue was whether the
meeting was regularly conducted under the
rules of the association, advertised at least
week before hand, and with at least two
class races in addition to the trial against
time. Mr.. Ketcham's side was unable to
produce advertisements, and the board has
sent to Wichita to have any published an
nouncementS mailed to Chicago.
The rules provide that no official may act

of the meeting show that s. B. AmIdon

FAST BOXING MATCH.
Hugh McGovern and John Allen Draw
in Six Rounds.

For clean-eut, vigorous, aggressive box
irg. the wind-up between Hughey Me-
Govern of New York and Johnny Allen OF
Philadelphia, at the National Athletic Club.
Philadelphia, last night, has been rarely
eqraled. 1t was a ding-dong affair from
end to end, and yet there was never a
Minute when the boys were not showing
-eieverness in one form or the other. Both
Boys were in splendid shape, as was shown
by the speed they went the route. Nc
Govern had a shade on Allen in the matter
of weight. but not enough to give him any
advantage. In the matter of generalsnip
MeGovern had something on Allen, but the
latter about eyened that up by his clever
ne SIS at outwork.
Allen had the call in the first round
McGoyern evidently did not look for Allen
TO put up such an aggressive bout and was
clearly carried off his feet in the first half
of the round, when Allen caught him twice
With swinging rights ON the body. In the
ciEches McGovern showed his superior
knowledge of the game and I'm the break
Always he also showed that he knew more
than did Allen. But the latter was always
coming to him, and just before the bell
rang landed hard on the side of the Java
punch that plainly rocked Hughey.
There was no diminution in the speed of
either boy in the second round. It was
CO Sc of give and take with honOrs about
even. In the third and fourth McGoyern
got the better of the exchanging, his
punches about the body appearing to have
more effect than did the blows that Allen
landed about the head EARLY In the fifth
round Allen landed a hard right on Me-
Governs body. taking some of the speed
out OF him. Both boys showed a disposition
to rough 1t in this round. McGevern using
his elbows to advantage. while Allen kept
raising his right knee in way that evoked

round was a ciinker. First McGoyern
would appear to have the better of it. then
Allen seemed to be in the lead. Toward

called wind shield records or performances

All the records made this year where for
mer records have been reduced have been
made under these conditions. The best rec
ord credited to Lou Dillon without the aid
of an advance runner Is 208A. and the best

As matter Of fact, the resolution Is
scarcely a part of the business of this
board. The question properly belongs to the
governing body OF the Year Book, and as
such may be passed upon by that body be-
fore the official records are made up for
this year. A suggestion has been made
that joint committee representing the
National Association, the American Associ-
alton and the Trotting Register Associate
pass on the matter.
1t is generally believed that if this is done
the records will not be entirely rejected,
but classified by themselves. Should this
be the result CresceuS will stir head the

fee of the Memphis Commercial APP
peal and told many interesting stories
of the olden days

Memphis" said Mr.. Younger. 81 have
just been visiting daughter of DR..
Lee, who is also a niece Of Tom Tai

relatives in Tennessee. My grand
father on my mothers side was a
native of West Tennessee. His name
was Tom Frisco, and he was a nephew
of Chief Justice Marshall. He with
the battle of New Orleans under An

Missouri he was appointed judge of
Jackson county, county which he
himself named after Old Hickory. He
was for some time member of the
Missouri legislature. My relatives on
my fathers side were Virginians and
have been in this country over two
hundred years.
81 went into the Confederate army
in 1862, and it took me forty years to
get out. I have practically been

strange the world seems to me. When
went into prison there were no
trolley or cable cars, nor any electric

move without horses, and the reten-

simply inexplicable."

said: Buffalo Bill and myself were
raised near each other, though in
different states. He was in the union
army, while l fought for the cause
Of the south. At one time my COM
pany and myself were pursued by
Cody and superior force, but we
eluded them and, having faster horses,
left them far in the rear. While in

near capturing the late Senator G..

be made Of the greatest possible ben
eft to those interested, but without
united effort and a strong organiza-
tion all effo1ts of the officers who

All agents are interested alike. and
we trust this appeal will arouse a
general interest.
''The dues are light. and if you have
not enrolled you should do so at
once.
There is soon to be issued an oftl-
cial publication, the American Agen-
cy Bulletin, which has the indorse-

will be a medium of communication
between the state associations and
will fill long-felt want. The execu-

jim CROW LAW
PROVIDING FOR SEPARATION OF
RACES ON STREET CARS
EFFECTIVE TODAY.
Goes Net Apply to Special Cars, but
to the Regulars Only, and Will
Be RigidIy Enforced.

The law passed by the last legisla-
ture providing for the separation of
White and coiored passengers on the
street cars Of the state became eff
tcct,ve tt cay.
1t :,ii lies to all cities where there
are street cars, and is therefore of
especial interest in Little Rock, Fort
Smith, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Eure-
ka Swings and Texarkana. 1t is not
separate coach law, but provides
only that the races shall be separated
GA the cars by an imaginary movable
line.
The following notice has been post
! ed on all the cars of the Citizens Light
and Transit company. and the con-
ductors began it's enforcement this
morning: - .7.iz-s
That all persons, companies or cor
porations operating any street car
line in any" city of the first class in
the state of Arkansas be and they
are hereby required to operate separ-
ate cars or to separate the white and
colored passengers in the cars operat.
ed for both, and to set apart or desig-
oh to-
for both portion thereof, or certain
seats therein, to be occupied by white
passengers, and a portion thereof, or
certain seats therein, to be occupied
E! by colored passengers.
"That the conductor or other per-
son in charge of any car or coach so
: operated upon any street car line
shall have the right at any time when
in his judgment it may be necessary
or proper for the comfort or conve-
nience of passengers to do so, to
change the said designation, SO as to
increase or decrease the amount of
space or seats set apart for either
i race: or he may require any passen-
ger to change his seat when or so
often as the change in the passengers
lay make such change necessary.
THAT all passengers on any street
car line shall he required to take the
seat assigned to them, and any per-
son refusing to do so shall leave the
car, or, remaining upon the car shall
be guilty Of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be fined in any sum
not to exceed $25.
"r32.at nothing in this act shall be
ccnst ued to prevent the running of
extra or special cars for the exclusive
accommodation of either white or col
ored passengers if the regular cars
are operated as required by this act"
This does not apply to special cars,
only to regulars. On the baseball or
other special cars, the same condi-
tions will prevail as have always ex-
listed. The street car management re.
quests the public to cooperate with
them as much as possible in the en-
forcement of the law.
The company has set aside the last
four seats in each car for the negroes,
and the whites are requested to Oc.
cupy seats ahead of this line. The
conductors report some trouble with
the negroes, but none of a serious
nature. Some of the negroes decline
to be seated away from the whites,
aad left "ha car rather than submit
to the law.

Postmaster Furth Gets 500 More

from the postoffice department that
his salary will be raised, commencing
July first. The present salary is

Pine Bluffs postoffice is a business
barometer and the salary is based on
the amount of business transacted.
The gradual increase of salaries
shows the increase of the business OF
the city.
