M,GoVERNs FINE SHOWING.
Majority Thinks He Outfought Britt
Principals Arrested.

New York, May 2s-Terry MeGovern,
of Brooklyn, surprised everybody to-
night by his wonderful showing against
Jimmy Britt, of California, in ten
round bout before the Twentieth Gem
tnry club in the Madison Square Gar
den in the presence Of 1900 people. Tim
Hurst was the referee, but as no decis-
ion can be given the spectators had to
judge for themselves as to the relative
merits of the men.
Immediately after the fight both the
principals, Manager Harry Pollock,
Referee Tim Hurst and ten others were
arrested by Deputy Police Commission
ers Mathot and Waldo, charged with
participating in and conducting a prize
fight.
McGovern WITS the choice of the big
majority, while none of the most san
guine of Britt's friends claimed any
thing better than a draw for the Cali
fornian.
McGovern was not trained down as
fine as he had been on other occasions
Britt looked to be in much the better
condition and was about five pounds
lighter than the Brooklyn man. The
style of the men differed. Britt was
very clever and shifty, and ducked
away from some hard swings McGov-
ern stuck to his old bulldog style Of
fighting. There was a great deal of
clinching, holding and infighting, but
whenever the contestants indulged in a
mix-up Terry had the better of it,
Britt landed several hard blows on Nc
Governs head and face, but McGovern
did not appear to suffer much from
these stinging blows. He was always
on the alert for an opening to land a
swing or hook, and got in a few which
shook up the western pugilist.

Prominent Meriden Man succumbs-An
IlIustriOus Ancestry.

Meriden, May 2S.-Judge Wilbur Fisk
Davis died at his home here at o'clock
this afternoon, aged fifty-eight years.
The cause of death was perforation Of
the intestines, following liberation.
About two weeks ago Judge Davis
was taken sick, and at first the illness
was not regarded as serious, but in a
few days it developed that his sickness
was due to the recurrence of an attack
of liberation of the intestines he had a
year or more ago.
Judge Davis was born July 25, 1S4S, in
Plymouth, Conn, and came of an illus
trious ancestry, the Davis family hav-
ing been very we'll known, not only in
Meriden, but all over New England
His first American ancestor, Dolor Da-
Wis, was one of the original settlers of
Barnstable, Mass. in 1884.
Judge Davis received his education in
the public schools and the academy at
Meriden. He was graduated from Har-
ward Law school in 1870. In September
of that year he was admitted to the
New Haven county bar and at once en-
tered upon the practice of his profess
sion in Merwiden.

ing by the action of the unions in
agreeing to stop work on all the build
ings where the contractors were mem
bers of the association.

ceeded in having them leave Waterbury

VESSEL BOUND here
abandoned OFF HOOK
ANNIE R. LEWIS WITH LUMBER
FOR ELM CITY LUMBER
COMPANY.

Sighted on New York With Side Stove
in and Mainmast Cracked OfF-Ap-
parently in COllisiOn-NOt a Soul
AbOard-TOwed Into Port by Steam
Pilot BOat-Life Boat Missing and
Crew May Have Escaped i nit.
New York, May 28.-When a heavy
fog lifted to-day near Sandy Hook the
schooner Annie r. Lewis was sighted
with her starboard side stove in from
the effects of collision. The mainmast
was cracked off about fifteen feet above
the deck and was swinging in the rig
ging between the fore and nizzen-
masts. The crew had abandoned the
schooner, which was settled low in the
water, and the steam pilot boat New
York towed her into port.
The Annie r. Lewis was bound from
Norfolk, Va, to New Haven, and was
built at Bucksport, Me-, in 1878.
The schooner's cargo of lumber Is
consigned to the Elm City Lumber
company, New Haven. The vessels
lifeboat was missing when she was
found to-day, and it was believed that
the crew had used 1t in escaping after
the collision. The captains name is
McDonough, but those Of the crew are
unknown.
The pilots believe the crew was lost,
the absence OF the compass indicating
that when they took to the boat after
the crash the shore was not in sight.
Then, too, the weather had been such
that high seas have been piling up on
the coast, and 1t would be almost i'm
possible for an ordinary long boat to
ride through them.
