NEW YORK. March 15.-All sporting
New York seemed TO have deserted the
Great White Way last evening and Jour
neyed to Philadelphia to take in the
Nelson McGovern fight. which resulted
in Nelson clearly bestlng NrcGovern who
had trouble in lasting out the six rounds.
Tho New Workers came singly, in par
ties. in special car loads. bringing bundles
OF money. which 1t seemed their one
object in life to spend before they got
back. -
In one special car. in which Marcus
Mayer brought over a party OF friends,
fifteen thousand dollars changed hands
before Broad Street Station was reached.
Those New Workers. who had not se-
cured tickets for the ringside were WILL
ing to pay any price for the pasteboards,
and spectators did a thriving business
with tickets from twenty-five dollars a
seat upward.
But in some respects the New York
ers found their match in Western sport
ing men. the record price for four seats
having been paid by man named Harri-
son. of Chicago. who gave $40 for them.
The hotels during the late afternoon
and early evening were crowded with
fight-goers from as far West as Port
land and as far South as New orleans.
The New York Contingent made up the
bulk of the outside visitors. however. and
few of the regulars were missing.

REAL ESTATE NOTES.
Dampness Prevailed, But There
Was Wet Weather Trading.

Stormy weather for two days past has
put a decided damper on the real estate
business. The rain put an absolute end
to auction sales. those announced being
postponed. and prevented sellers from ex-
hIbiting property to would-bc buyers.
Thus It happens that the trading has been
confined to the offices and the inspection
of building sites to the blue print ex-I
hibits.
Notwithstanding these drawback. con-
siderable trading has been done. and
any number OF deals have been put
on the string" subject to confirmation
when the traders can find weather that
will permit them to look over tho prem-
ises.
This simply means that business will
be all the more active when the right
kind OF weather comes. The stars came
out last evening. and to-day promises
to be bright. Look out for big business.
