Gala DAYS.

AnurSuay was rare March day.
How the ladies of the town and
vicinity fiocked to the Mecca OF
all their hopes in millinery-the
only store that held a millinery
openingl But not only ladies'.
There we're distinguished old
bachelors and sorely tried widow
+ers who so much admired the fem
inine in dress and attire that they
mingled with the dainty throng
and viewed the Beauties -on the
hat stands; but at such a respect
full distance that we opine some
suspicion had arisen among them
that they might be expected to
treat. How perfectly lovely"
that would have beenl
iphe McGrath Store was elegant
with its myriads of handsomest
lace curtains, used as draperies, its
flowers and fans, it's parasols
and lingerie, its dress patterns and
trimmings; and away back where
one might sit down after an active
inventory of attractions to the
front, the piece de resistance the
millinery display-kept one on
her feet or took her off, figuray
lively speaking. The headgear of
all shapes and sizes, colors and
characters, was surprisingly pleas
ing to the feminine eye and sales
we're rapid.
A New Orleans band furnished
exquisite music, which was rare
treat of itself to one becoming
weary with much seeing.
Pretty pin trays and exquisite
brooches were given as souvenirs,
both days of the opening.

Into the beautifully appointed
grocery store of j. M. Wood,
there swept hungry throng all
day long. An up-to-date. pro-
gressive luncheon had been pre-
pared for every caller, and from
the hot fap-jacks to the iced-tea,
the appetite grew, and still
threatened to deyour every tempt
ing Wand in sight, in cans, in bot
ties or boxes, so delectable was
every offering made.
Booths were conveniently arrang-
ed the entire length of the store;
and only a japanese umbrella re-
minded one that peace reigned not
IofraA the earth, as it did among
tine smiling company assembling
constantly before their well-pleas-
ed and generous host. Mrs. w.
FL. Penn, Mrs. J. NJ. Wood, Mrs.
Joe Storm, Mrs. Lily Friou, Miss
Olivette Massey and others, during
the two days, had charge of the
booths.
Every one was delighted with

his efforts.

THE SPORTING NEW s.

tendance of 217,373 abroad more than
any other team in either league play
ed to abroad.
The Toledo Times describes the
strikeout as follows: What is a
strikeout strikeout Is a movement
In calisthenics and consists of three
vigorous swings of the club-like uten-
sill at round object and then a hur-
rfed walk to the sit-down place. 1t is
always better to have a dark scowl
on the face after participating in one
of these movements, and if 1T is desir-
ed the utensil may be thrown at the
grand stand. 1t is always preferable
to commit a strikeout with three men
on base"
The baseball fever has again brok-
en- out among the local Foresters with
the result that almost every court in

diamond. Court Phelan is said 10

Of Court Falcon question their right
to 1t and it is probable that the mat
ter will be settled by game between
mines representing the two societies
in the near future. Court Phelan
will meet tonight and in all proba-
bility the matter will come up for
discussion. If so it is quite likely
that the boys will request Falcon to

successive seasons. BrOuthers, who

money against the field He made his
own race, taking the lead and keeping
it to the wire and winning easily by q
length, with Alex Campbell second. In
the 2:17 pace, a dash of half mile,
Florence Wilton was made favorite at
2 to 1, but at the word Winnie King
took the lead and looked all over a win
ner to the distance, when Gordon
Prince came with lightning rush and
won by. half length.
The big event of the day was the
$1,000 purse for the 2:10 trotters, for
which the gray gelding DR.. Strong ruled
the favorite at even money. In the first
heat John Taylor rushed off with the
lead and held It to the three-quarters'

Jack O'Brden came to town to meet

their six-round bout early In Septem-

for the Metropole, and O'Brien was

Corbett failed to appear and sent no
word to explain his absence.
When O'Brien, tired Of waiting,
gave up and returned to Philadelphia,

THE PUGILlSTS.
WHO IS THE
CHAMPION !?
Dispute Between Fitzsim-

Mccoy Nay be Settled
Jim Corbett is Crafty.

Who is the middleweight champion?
Is it Fitzsimmons, Tommy Ryan or
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, and has
Mccoy lookin for the, honor?
That is the greatly debated question
that Manager A. G. McCarey Of the
Los Angeles Athletic club proposes to
have settled before his organization
next spring.
O'Brien, Fitzsimmons, Ryan and
Mccoy all received kilograms from
McCarey yesterday, announcing that
during race month in Los Angeles
next winter the Los Angeles Athletic
club would hold a great boxing carni-
val, the chief star feature of which
would be series of contests to settle
definitely the middleweight champion
ship OF the world.
4 belt, to cost $1,000 will 90 to the
winner, and the boxers will break
even upon go per cent Of the gate.
Each man will be allowed $500 for
training expenses.
McCarey invites Fitzsimmons, Nc
Coy, OBrien and Ryan to enter for the
tournament. He purposes to match
Mccoy and Fitzsimmons for the first
bout, and Ryan and O'Brien for the
second, the winner of each match to
DOX Tor the WORTH cuHIukllOuSulp
The weight limit is to be 158 pounds.
O'Brien, Immediately upon recetv-
ing the offer, went to the telegraph of
fee and wired his acceptance. Nc
Carey said in his telegram that Me-
Coy had written him from Salt Lake
City favoring the idea, but not defin-
itely entering.
Fitzsimmons did not reply yester-
day, but said that he would think the
matter over. When asked If he would
defend the middleweight title, he de-
clared that he would, and insisted
that he could get down to 1853 pounds
and be strong. No one else on Broad
way thought he could do it without
cutting. off q leg. .
Nothing has been heard from Ryan,
who, if he is so anxious to meet Fitz
will undoubtedly accept. Ryan weighs
172 pounds at present, and favors 15S
as the middleweight limit. O'Br1en
SAYS that as Fitzsimmons won the
title at 1914 he is willing to make that
weight if necessary.
Los Angeles is crowded during the
racing season and the prospects of a
large gate are very good The club
offers satisfactory financial guarantee.
