Last nights bouts at the New York Long Acre A. c. were topnotch and kept the large crowd of members on edge all the time.
 The windup was one of the fastest and cleverest fights seen here between lightweights since the local clubs have opened. The bout was between Kid Stinger of Philadelphia and Rouse O'Brien of Boston.
 O'Brien did all the leading. He used a fine straight left-hand jab which usually found its mark.
 At the end of six rounds of fast fighting O'Brien had shade the bet ter of it.
 In the fifth round terrible mixing took place and the crowd went wild.
 In the semi-windup Willie Mango 50 far outclassed Tom Weir that Re- fierce Johnny Pollock stopped it in the third round
 Young Tommy Murphy and John Berger, both light featherweights, put up fine go. fighting at top speed throughout the four rounds they were scheduled for

Perry Greenfield, the English light weight, who arrived here about a week ago from England, has started training.
 Yesterday was his first hard days work. He has procured, for immedi- ate trainer Bill Heveron, an ex-EnS- fish heavyweight, who is chief of police of Caledonia. New York.
 Greenfield is the typical young Brit lsh scrapper. He is well built, stands with the same exact pose assumed by other fighters from his own country, and eats much as any of 'em.
 Like Summers, he came over hero with the idea of getting on fight with Battling Nelson. but there has been nothing doing. Still he is traln- ing all the time. Yesterday he did ten miles on the road, boxed six rounds with the chief of police and ate enough to supply the whole hotel.
 Mike Donovan will start working with Greenfield next week, and he will soon be ready for the ring. Meanwhile his manager is trying to locate Nelson.
 An offer to box Willie Fitzgerald fin Philadelphia has been received by Greenfield, but he is waiting to hear from Nelson. He understands "Bat' is in the mining business and Is afraid ''the Daner may have fallen into an old mine shaft

A GREAT BEREAVEMENT.

1t is very rare, except in epidemics
or by accident. that parents mourn the
loss of three children within sixty days,
but this is the experience of Mr. and
Mrs Charles Ravanna of this city,
whose infant child, Charles F., aged six
months, died Tuesday, which was pre-
ceded by the demise of their son, Henry,
of pneumonia ON March ~, and Mar
jorie, aged 2 years, on April IS. To
these parents is left one child to com
fort them. What are words in such be-
reavement? Yet, even those who know
them not are moved to the most heart
felt sympathy. There is the conscious
satisfaction that their loved ones are
not of earth, and that some day they will
meet again to part no more
