PRIzEFIGHTs HERE AND THERE.

A dispatch from Salt Lake City says that !.
boxing match between Michael Schreck and
George Gardner, of Lowell, Mass, took place in
the Salt Lake Theatre, owned by the Mormon
Church. It is added that more than two thou
sand spectators were present, including PreSi-
dent Smith Of the Mormon Church and eight of
his sons The bruisers We're of little conse-
quence being far below the first class of their
wretched set but it was Of some little interest
to note the decadence of the Massachusetts man,
who was an overwhelming favorlte and who
three years before had defeated his antagonist,
John Root. His form on Monday showed a
marked falling off from his previous effort in
the Mormon capital.
Salt Lake City has never been successful in
drawing within its limits the ablest champions
of the prize ring. The deftest and abest fight
ers with the fists have never considered the capi-
tai Of Utah city of sufficient population or dis
tinction to be worth IA great deal of attention
flom them, and it is not likely that the COM
munity will greatly improve its standing IN that
respect.
1t was an interesting coincidence that Senator
Frawleys boxing bill was advanced i'll the
Assembly of this State on Monday night without
debate It ought to have been defeated on its
first appearance in the legislature New-York.

can be suggested for any remission of the pen

meetings Of przefghters. While former box

swindles and brutallties were common. Nothing
of the sort should be allowed hereafter New

FROST AND VEGETATION.

-Four or five weeks ago there was promise of
an early spring in the North and East. The
last half Of March was 4 little warmer than
usual in those parts Of the country. Since the
opening Of the current month there has been
a reaction. For more than a fortnight the tenn
perature has been abnOrmally low The local
Weather Bureau reports that the mercury in
the metropolis registered 30 degrees before
dawn on Monday To match that record here
it is necessary TO so back to the middle of
March, although demonstrations day or two
after the equinox, and again on April and 3,
were almost equally severe. The conditions
which prevailed in the metropolis at those times
were fairly representative Of the weather in
New England. the Middle Atlantic States and
the Ohio Valley None Of the districts Just
mentioned have experienced greater cold for a
month than they have within the last few days.
For the latest visitation precedent has proba-
bly, not been afforded in the South Atlantic
States for nearly two months. At Atlanta the
temperature fell to or below the freezing point
last Monday, and the next previous record at
all comparable Herewith was made on March 1.
when "a degrees was reported from the same
station. Press dispatches tell, moreover, of
heavy frosts and the formation Of thin ice in
other parts OF Georgia and in the Carolinas.
For obvious reasons certain crops suffered
more extensive damage in the South than in
the North Early vegetables were much fur
ther advanced there than here. In fact, with
In a radius Of 200 300 miles of the metrOpo-
lis the season has been SO backward as TO
discourage planting. Perhaps the necessity for
delay in New-Jersey, on Long Island and up
IA the central portion Of this State may prove
q blessing 10 gardeners. All the injury 10 pO-
tatOes beans and other truck seems To have
been done 10 the southwark of Pennsylvania.
On the other hand, grave fears are entertained
In regard 10 peaches In Delaware, cherries ana
strawberries in New-Jersey and TO those fruits
In the same latitude as far west as Indiana.
Until the current rumOrs this subject are
fully verified, It will be prudent to accept them
with reserve. Allowance should be made for
the natural tendency 10 eXaggerate and to sub
stitute guesswOrK for facts. STILL when the re-
turns are all in. 1t will probably appear that
the frost has made mischief OF one kind or an

a notion that such a thing as closed shop can
legally be maintained by the United States
might think dat it was not merely the right,
but the direct duty, Of the government to forbid
labor al times or on terms unacceptable TO the
trade union, but that doctrine has no liberation

Of Health of Illinois, with a view TO ascertain
inc the truth or falsity of the account. Fail
ing TO get all the light he wanted, he followed
the matter up in his own way. As for The
Tribune's article. the secretary replied that he
had not seen il. but he assumed that 1t is prac-
"tcallv true and that it Is based on information
"riven ont nv this board" Partly from a de-
ficiency Of detail in the record, and partly to
avoid injury to the trade of the two localities
which had suffered from the scOurge, DR.. Egan
refrained from mentioning the principal scenes
of the trouble; but upon the main and all i'm
portant duestiOn-whether or not vaccination
protects-he advised Mr.. Scott to apply to mu-
nicipal boards Of health and the managers OF
the hospitals in large Western cities. Instead
of acting on that admirable suggestion Mr.
Scott collected material from other sources, and
now produces pamphlet Of thlrty-twO pages

single illustration Of its spirit.

with the consequent muddying of the waters" ;"
He here refers to the lack Of unity of opinion
among physicians i'm such matters of detail as
the frequency with which vaccination should
be practised in order to secure tho closest ap-
prOach to immunity. He evidently thinks that
they are open TO condemnation for disagree
ment on minor points and for recognizing that
something new is to be learned from time to
time. Meanwhile he ignores the practical una
