FIZZLES
FOR THE ELKS
Sad Showing of Boxing
ClubS-Who Bet on
johnson (?

PHILADELPHIA. July 22.-The only
jarring note in the Elks' reunion last
week. was the colossal failure of the
boxing cards. In some instances the
club promoters were blamed, in others
they were not.
The National Athletic Club redeemed
sporting Philadelphia by giving its card
as advertised. although at a severe loss.
Harry Lewis, of Philadelphia, and Jack
Goldswain. lightweight champion Of
England, did not draw last Tuesday as
we'll as was expected.
There was not enough money in the
house to pay the guarantees Offered TO
the boxers, but the National manage
ment ma 5e UP the loss went ahead with
its program, and there was no disa9-
pointment.
In other instances there was a spirit
manifest to clean up every dollar in
sight from the vast number of visitors
with no reglrd whether they received
fun value for their money or not.
Washington Club in Bad.
The ambitious program arranged by
the Washington Sporting Club proved a
fizz1e. This club. on the very
first night Of the week, gave a cheap
wind-up. when Adam Ryan and Unk
RUSSELL had been. billed to appear.
Ryan deolined to go on because the
attendance was too small although Rus
sell was willing. The club refused to
cut into its "rolf' to make up the DIFF
ference so that Ryan could appear. but
instead put on two boys who SPARED six
friendly rounds. Those who had paid
heir money at the box office went home
stung.

suited IN a frost that cannot be equaled

Then you believe that If Jones could
be reduced again he would tell the
truth and clear your was the next
question.
Exactly So said Patrick. "If Jones
would tell the truth I would be liber-
ated at once"
But how about the statement by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome at the time Of
the application for new trial that he
would ask the court for it provided you
let Mr.. House, your lawyer, testify
whether or not Jones and You confessed
TO him that you killed Mr.. Rice?"

iect." returned Patrick. Il have never
had any objection to Mr.. House telling
all he knows. He could not tell any

Funny Substitute.
The Washington Club management
claimed that il was taken aback by the
announcement at the last moment that
old Bob had injured his right arm while
boxing with Joe Jeanette.
The club promoters insist that had
they known OF the fact they would have
substituted Jeanette for Fftz and then
charge TO the Frankly Neil-Tomnny
O'Toole fight scheduled for the follow

Had this been done the spectators
would have had a Jolly time taking a

Who Got the Money?
There was a pretty strong tin around

THE GRADUATING EXERCISES
Held Last Friday Night in Le-
mares Hall, Was the Success
full Closing of a Most Bril-
liant School Year-A
Large Crowd Pres

Entertaining in the highest degree
was the graduating exercises held last
Friday night.
The execution of the different pal is
bespoke careful preparation on the
part of the students and laborious
and painstaking care on the part of
the teacher, to whom all credit is due
for the general excellency OF the per-
formance.
We shall not undertake to give
each number special notice, but suf-
fee it to say that without an excer-
tion every part was well rendered,
especially is this so of the Mother
Goose Drill which %captlvated the au-
dience. Songs we're rendered, also
Rotations, dialogues and chorus.
After the programme had been
rendered, l.. A. Lemaire, who had
been selected to present the diplomas TO
the 9Th grade graduates namely, Edith
Kendrick, Enroll Licking, Clifton
Ganser and Wells Tower, stepped for
ward and made a few remarks which
were very instructive to the gradu-
ates.
The hall was decorated beautifully
in the class %colors, blue and gold.
The hall was packed and standing
room was at a premium.
The program was followed by
a social dance and was participated III
by nearly all who attended the enter
tainmeut. Ice cream and cake Was
served during the dance and the
tables were well p~atronized. W. shall
sum up the whole affair in a very few
words by saying that it was an UNI
precedented social success.
The term just closed has been a
very successful one and the children
have made excellent progress under
the careful guidance of Miss Eva
Bradshaw. Miss Bradshaw takes a
great interest in the welfare of the
school and by so doing has gained the
good will of all the parents as we'll as
those OF the children.
With such a teacher as Miss Brad
shaw our public school lie sure to pros
per and be an excellent one.

The Western Pacific.

The track of the Western Pacific is
now 1876 miles west of Salt Lake City,
which brings it fourteen miles into
Nevada. Twenty miles more will
bring it to the crossing of the Nevada
Northern railroad at Bews siding, and
it will probably take two months to
reach that point on account of the
heavy grading. However, when the
crossing is reached, assurances are
given from the highest official sources
that trains will be put on, giving Salt
Lake City direct communication with
Ely.
