Prince Boris. He still was standing,
with hands clasped behind his back, gaz-
ing at the external plain. Again she
read the letter. From every aspect 1t
was amazing. Evidently her father had
decided not to pain her by suggesting
what the alternative would be If she
spurned the hand of her imperiOus
sutton. Yet the Earl manifestly was not
opposed to the match. During these later
months he had come to look on 1t as an
assured thing, and the only word OF dis
sent that fell from him was his COndem-
nation of the idea that she should reside
permanently in BannOfka. 1t was odd
that her brother had not been permitted
to write; but the probable explanation
was that the Russian supporters of
the Prince believed that fathers words
would be all-powerful. How bewilder-
ing, too, that Armstrong; name should
crop up as a witness to the existence of
the CirCassian, her rival, and that her
brother should know the fact, yet never
reveal it to her!
Again she looked at the Prince. He
had not moved. Certainly her fathers

 It Is probable that Jack Monroe, the famous prize fighter who fought Jeffries at New Orleans, will meet him here about February 25 or 2S, in either Greco-Ro- man or catch-as-catch can bout. They are to wrestle in Atlanta on February 23, and the match will be arranged for Blr- mingham no matter which wins.
 Another bout later will also be arranged. As soon as the arrangements are made Professor iDwyer will go into active train ing. The wrestling bouts will be public. and will be proceeded by wrestling by members of the club.
 The lessons will be free to members of the, Athletic club. A special meeting of the board of directors was held yester- day, afternoon to consider the matter and the. contract was signed.

And that is not all. Far up in the frozen fields in the town that made beer famous a certain big. jolly and capable first haseman and manager is hustling around Result-well there are probably five or six more contracts to come to Birmingham.
 It wouldn't do to tell names and tales both. but the tale is simply this. Vaughan is out hustling. He Is making a circuit jolying certain moguls of the major leagues, and 1t Is a cinch of the lead pipe variety that he lands a good one or two. It does the heart of a manager good to receive such a letter as the following from one. of the players on his team:
 "Cherryvale, Kan, Feb. 14 1905. Dear Sir and Friend:
 AS 1t Is only about fourteen days be- fore reporting time, I wish you would send me my ticket right away. It would be favor to me if you would do so. Mother is away from home and will not be back for a month. and I would like to come down to Birmingham. Please wire my ticket at once, and Il am anxi- ous to get to the old town where they gave me such a good welcome last year. Yours with best wishes for the best of success. Give my regards to all. Respectfully, ARTHUR REAGAN" It is needless to say that Secretary Sheppard compiled with the request. and the ticket Is en route. He says such let ters as that always make him glad that he is connected with baseball.
 J c. Fitzpatrick. the new pitcher and outielder signed by Manager Vaughan, has written the following letter:
 "Richmond. Va, Feb A. 1905. ''Mr F. G. Sheppard. Secretary, Bir- mngham. Ala

He comes we'll recommended by some good baseball men from Richmond, and they state that he shoots a ball across the plate with a speed that makes the glove burn and lets the catcher know that there is something doing in the firing box.
