crowd. 1t was estimated at that time
that nearly 11,OOO persons were inside
the hall, the biggest crowd that ever
saw a fight in San Francisco.
Reports from McGovern's and Cor
belts headquarters were equally
bright. Both men had rested quietly
after weighing in yesterday after
noon and expressed. absolute conf
dence in the outcome.
The first preliminary was a 10
round go between Dixie Kid col
ored welter weight from Los Angeles.
and Eddie Cain, of Brooklyn, McGov-
ern's sparring partner. The Dixie
Kid won in the second round with n
right to the jaw. Cain was not out,
but when he went down he turned his
ankle badly and was unable to get
up. The strain was bad one and it
was necessary to carry Cain from the
ring.
The second preliminary. a Ground
go between Cal Meiim and Jimmy
Carroll, Jr.. both of San Francisco,
was declared a draw.
Under the terms of the agreement
the men met in the afternoon at 4
of 127 pounds. McGovern did not
have the slightest trouble reaching
this figure and from the balance of
the beam when he stepped on the
scales it looked as if he was at least
three pounds under the weight. Cor
bett had to be at the very lowest
limit, it is apparent, he can make to
save his forfeit of $500. When he
stepped on the scales the beam bal
anced exactly and for moment or
two it looked as if there might be
some sort of wrangle. But Harris,
McGovern's manager. waived the
point after he had balanced the beam
with his hand couple of times.

lenges to the winner and fight an

At 9:52 o'clock, amid mighty roar
from the crowd, McGovern climbed

Sam Harris and his seconds, Charlie
Mayhood, Eddie Cain and Joe Angelo.

Masters.
THEIR EXAMPLE YOUR UNCLE SAM
Who Has Methods Worth Following,
They See-British Revenue
for Last Year.

London, April 1.-The British iron
trade and United States competition
were the subjects of conference OF
iron and steel manufacturers held in
london yesterday with the object of
considering how best to meet the COM
petition of the United States. Ebenezer
Parkes, NJ. T., of Birmingham, who
presided, said that while in the United
States he was much struck by the
number of Englishmen who were oc-
cupying responsible posts in United
States factories. Many of the best in
Ventions, he added, were the work of
EngliShmen. The reason England did
not adopt labor saving appliances was
the lack of surplus capital; but the
English manufacturers would have to
make greater use thereof, and scrap"
old machinery more readily if they de-
sired to be abreast of the times.
They're Learning Something from Us.
Parkes also spoke of the necessity
for appointing business men as con
suls, as was done by the United States.
and advocated a reform of the present
relations within the empire as Il means
of meeting the American onslaught"
Several papers We're read by The COM
missioners of the iron trade associa-
ton who were sent to the United
States, the general trend of which was
in effect that the better part of the
British iron and steel industry occu-
pied an unaSsailable position, although
pending the development of the re-
sources of Canada and other colonies
period OF serious competition and
invasion from the United States was to
be expected.
