Fight In Boston.

M Although it has not been officially announced, the proposed pugilistic contest between Tom Sharkey and Jack Munroe will in all probability be decided in Boston before the Criterion A. c. A battle-ground for the con test was to have been chosen yester- day, but it was again deferred. The reason for this was that the Criterion clubs bid. which was the best, could not be accepted because tic club did not comply with the requirement. of sending a certified check for $2,O00 with the proposal.
 The managers of the men are in communication with the club. and the organizations matchmaker says the money will be sent, if at all, ill a few days. Tn the meantime the fighters will continue training, because the ar ticles sttpulate that the battle must be decided before March l. 1t also is understood that one of the Philadel- phia clubs will make an offer for the encounter. It may not be considered because the articles say the match must be more than six rounds. In Philadelphia only six round bouts are permitted. However. if the Boston club does not forward the necessary deposit the papers may Sc modified so as to allow the men to have it out at Philadelphia.

SINFUL LITTLE PELHAM.
Authorities Searching for Sports Who
 Pulled off Latest Dog Fight.

Pelham, N. r.. Jan 22.-Sheriff James $. Merritt of Westchester county and the authorities of Pelham are searching for eighteen young men, said to be members of promin- ent families, who held a dog fight in Wolff's lane early yesterday morning. Although Pelham is the smallest viii lage in the United States, it is said more cock fights, prize fights and dog fights are held within it's limits than in any other place in the United fStates. Only a few weeks ago a prize fight was pulled off i'll public hall while the sports held the janitor a captive in an adjoining room.
 Shortly after midnight Wednesday night a party of young men in cutters descended upon Pelham and drove to an empty house in Wolff's lane. Two bags, containing the dogs, Lockjaw and Belmont, were carried into the house. A pit was dug and the dogs thrown into it. Lockjaw broke one of Belmont's fore paws and strangled him. ss The carcass was dragged to tie Hutchinson river and thrown ill.
