IMPORTANT DECISION
TO REAL ESTATE BROKERS

The supreme judicial court Of Massa-
chusetts held, in the case OF MunrOe vs.
Taylor. that under a contract empower
ing g real estate broker 10 sell property
for a certain sum, and providing that he
should have as commission all that he
could get for the property above the
price named. he was entitled to COM
mission only in the event OF procuring
the execution Of a contract Of sale,
which was never performed. The court
said: What the plaintiff really under
took was not only TO find a purchaser
at a fixed price, but 20 effect a sale
which meant a payment OF that price,
and this having been done he would
have earned the excess. but until the
consideration became payable or the de
fendant refused TO convey, he could not
demand any remuneration or maintain
an action for breach OF the contract

disappointment.

Last Nighrs Show at the Casino Was a
disappointment.
The management, az we'll as the
patrons, we're disappointed at the
boxing contest given by the National
Sporting Club, in the Casino, last
evening. because of some Of the
boxers failing TO appear as scheduled,
and for other reasons the show was the
poorest ever given under the present
management. The windur between
Tommy Love and kid" Beebe of
Philadelphia was pretty good, but
was not quite up to the standard.
Love had broken nose to start with
and Beebe's back was adorned with a
large porous plaster. Beebe made the
injured nose Of Love his chief pcint
of attack, and the latter plainly was
distressed. Beebe had the better of
the bout. Both men fought we'll,
under the circumstances, but the
sports we're not satisfied with the show
Young Britt Of this city stopped
Harry Russell of Philadelphia in the
third round and the latter had to be
assisted TO his corner. As Battling
Steve and Eddie Wallace failed 70
take their parts in the proeTamme,
Jimmy Earle and Young O'Brien, both
of Philadelphia, we're put on instead.
This bout did not suit the sports and
was stopped in the third round.
Jimmie Russell and Bob Wright OF
Philadelphia began a six-round bout,
but we're allowed TO 60 only four
rounds. The management promised &c
give an extra bout next week to make
up for the poor show last evening.

MUCH TRAVELLED COWBOY HAT.
Both Ends of Its Interminable Jour
ney Hidden I'm Mystery.

At the Pacific Express company's
office today hat has been the
source of much attention. 1t is the
lid" that has been sent all over the
United States by various express Off
shipping tags attached to it at differ
ent places over the country.
Where the hat started from there
is nothing to show, and ii sfinal desti-
nation is equally I'M doubt. But ac-
cording to Agent Steele who received
it yesterday from Portland, it was
probably started on its journey by
some express agent who did not eX-
pect 1t TO receive the attention 1t has.
II is hat of the cowboy style, though
not of the real wide brimmed variety.
1t shows the hard usage it has been
subjected to during its hong ride
around the country and also bears ev-
idence of having been worn consider
ably before being sent out on its jour-
ney.
BY shipping tags attached to the
hat its course over the country can be
traced. 1t bears n tag from Jersey
lily ana otner places Ill tne east, Az
lanta, Ca; Knoxville, Tenn; Hot
Springs, Ark; Cincinnati and Mem
phis. At the latter place the agent
was somewhat of poet. for he wrote
on the tag:
From this, you see, remember me;
I've been down in Tennessee"
A cord that was attached in San
Francisco recalls the big fire. The
card is half burned and on it is writ
ten: ..All there is left of Frisco"
Just what inscription he will place
upon his card Agent Steele has not
yet decided, and he is open for sug-
gestions. He is intending to send it
east along the =. r. & n. from this
place.
