New Years Day passed very Quietly
in Richmond. with business partially sus-
pended. large crowds OF pleasurc-seekers
upon the streets and an occasional rat
tie Of fireworks, rather feeble, but sutfi-
clint to mark the event for u holiday.
The celebration in chief occurred at
midnight, during the first few moments
Of the New Year when the central por-
ton of Broad Street and some other Sec
lions of the city were filed with peo-
pie, mostly churchgoers, on their way
hcme after the watch-night services and
when the pyrotechnic display was some
thing notable as long as 1t lasted. The
dawn itself came upon fair skies, and
the first day of the New Year was beau-
tiful and inviting, balny at noon, under
a sun, crisp and bracing with January
cold later, when the moon and stars
came out. 1t was an ideal day for the
outdoor crowds. and thousands were
abroad early and late. All trace of Sun
days snow-storm had disappeared. ex-

BRIGGS too MUCH
FOR YOUNG ERNE
Boston Boy Puts Up a Clever
Fight Against Popular New
York Man.
(speeIal 70 rhe Tlmes. plspatel.l

Especial to The Timcs- Dispatch)
PHILADELPHIA, PA, January H.
Jimmy Briggs, OF Boston, was too hard
a proposition for Young Erne, OF this
city, to solve at the National Athletic
Club this afternoon. The thousands OF
spectators won't away disappointed at
Erne's showing, although lie was giving
away several pounds in weight to his
Yankee opponent.
Contrary TO expectations, Erne was not
as fast as usual, except at very few in
terYals. while Ills judgment OF distance
was bad. The Philadelpkian had the sat
isfaction. Of out-pointinE Briggs and COM
ing out OF the contest rtsaaatched. but
Briggs was never In any asgious trouble,
and finished the six ronl.as with no more
damage than a cut on his mouth and some
sore spots on his body. The crowd saw
only Erne's bad points and failed to give
Briggs the credit that was due him.
Jimmy kept boring into Erne. but the
latter escaped many of his leads, and,
going to u clinch. would smilingly take
II couple Of right hand punches on his
ribs. While Briggs was unable to do
much when he led he showed great gen
eraiship in escaping Ernes blows. Briggs
either got In close and let Erne's swings
SO around his head: or else lodged out
of the road entirely. Briggs's work in
preventing many of Erne's Jabs from land
ing was decidedly clever Time after
time Ernels left shot over Jimmy's head
or to one side Of his face.
Tommy Murphy, who has not been seen
here since he was knocked out by Terry
McGovern In the first round of bout,
has been matched to- box Tommy Now

Fire Underwriters Have Corps Of
Engineers Investigating in
Richmond.

A corps of eight expert engineers are in
the city, representing the National Board
of Fire Underwriters, for the purpose OF
examining into water, electrical and build
ing conditions here.
This work is being done in all the prln-
cipal cities OF the country, under tho su-
pervision OF committee OF twenty from
the national board.
The corps is composed OF G. w. Booth.
chief Of the corps, and Messrs. Walther,
dick and Jones.
They came here from Detroit, and will
work In the South during the winter,
owing to favorable weather conditions.
After the Baltimore fire and other
sweeping -ca.aagrations, the board found
the leading cities, and this line Of pro-
cedure was mapped out. The follow
ing extract from a circular issued by the
board, concisely states the object OF the
work: knowing that the hre waste in
the United States greatly exceeds that Of
other countries, and believing that the
Baltimore conilagration would impress
upon tho public the danger to most. II not
all, of our great cities OF q like disaster.
1t was decided to appoint committee
engineering department.. composed OF men
standing high in their profession, and
through them to investigate conditions,
stating facts as to those existing and
making recommendations for improve
ments that would minimize the sweeping
fire or conflagration hazard, especially
in the congested or heavy value districts
of the cities visited. Accordingly stan
Of engineers has been organized, and to-
day there arc in the field four parties,
each collecting data and making tests
in some different city. the work being
carried on by men who have had expe-
rience In civil. mechanical. structural, ny.
sdraulic and electrical engineering.
