Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces'
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric Is
hidden behind paste Of varying

can be entirely overcome by using De-

PRIZE EIGHT POSTPONED

Fitzsimmons-Burns Bout Of Till Next
Week, Owing to Pennypacker Order.
Philadelphia. May 30.-The 20-round
fight between Fitzsimmons and Burns,
which was to have taken place Tues
day night before the Tuxedo Athletic
Club at North Essington, 10 miles from
this city, has been postponed until
Wednesday of next week as result OF
the order issued by the governor OF
| PENNSYLVANIA to the state constabulary
10 prevent the bout. The officials of
/ the club will at once take legal action
with a view of holding the fight on the
new date. This was decided upon
when Captain Groome, superinten-
dent of the state police, had assured
the club managers that he intended to
carry out to the letter the orders issued
to him by Governor Pennypacker. A
detachment of troop c of the state po-
lice force commanded by Lieutenant
Smith and numbering about 20 men,
arrived at North Essington from their
barracks at Reading, but found they |
were not needed, as the club had called |
of the fight before they arrived. They |
were not mounted, but each man was
armed and carried about 100 rounds OF
ammunition.
The postponement of the fight was
great disappointment to thousands OF
followers OF the sport. many of whom
had come from other cities to see the
bout. Fitzsimmons and Burns arrived
at North Essington, and each was in
fine fettle for the fight. Their man
ayers criticized the authorities for tax
ing action at the eleventh hour and
them to great expense in
preparing for the contest. A crowded
house was expected, twO-thirds of the
seating capacity of the house having
been sold in advance.
