Rain Signs.

When a cat sneezes it means rain. Distant sounds, such as bells and rail- way whistles, are unusually distinct just before rain; and window blind cords become taut, and salt and black currant lozenges moist. Rain may also be expected when dogs grow restless and drowsy; asses hang down their ears and rub themselves against walls; sheep become frisky and bleat terri. bly, at night; the pigs are disturbed and run about; and cocks crow early and flap their wings exeessively.-Cin- einnati Enquirer.

Bare Knuckle Fight Takes Place in
 New York.

New York.
 Indianapolis, June 4.--Hugh MePad- den of Brooklyn received the decision over Patsy Hogan of Chicago at the end of the ten-round bout at the En- pire theater Tuesday night. McPad- den won all the way and had so much the better of the contest that the deci- sion of Referee Ryan met with the favor of the large crowd that witnessed the bout. Hogan wonderful ability to stand punishment was the only thing that prevented his being knocked out. McPadden's blocking Of McPadden's s vicious swings was revelation to fistic followers i'll Indianapolis. Tn the fifth McPadden staggered Hogan with a vicious right swing on the jaw, but the latter did not go to the floor. Again in the eighth round McPadden had Hogan hanging on, but was not able to make him quit.
 A bare knuckle fight to the finish, which lasted twelve fast and bloody rounds, ending with a knockout, was held in stable near the Gravesend race track, off the Coney Island boule- yard, last night. The principals in the contest were Jerry Sullivan of Brook lyn and Jim Carey of Jersey City. The former carried off the spells, landing a right swing to the jaw in the twelfth round, sending Carey to the floor to be counted out by the referee. The fact that it was bare knuckle affair was enough to prove to the regulars at Gravesend that it would be well worth seeing at S0 a. Saa hout siytU horse men gave the eountersign at the door of the stable and were admitted. The total receipts and a $25O side bet, which went to the victor. made each man fight at his limit.
