Aldermen received the ch-discussed

cost of surveying, plating, maxi
Ing necessary pronles for the as
certainment OF grades and street

ritory, according TO which estimate
the cost was S20,074.2G. After a
careful examination of the Items
contained in this estimate, your

should be carefully and accurately
done for much smaller sum, ac-
Gordingly they instructed the City

hair-raising finishes seen this season.
When Glen won the Celebration hand

this feeling was reflected in the odds.

start. With the ribbon sprung, Logi-
stella went to the front with a rush,
but fell back beaten at the quarter
post. Johnny Lyons and Hugh Nc
Gowan picked up the pace with ]. c..
Glen and Lisaro tagging in easy form.
Jockey Buchanan, who rode Glen in
the Celebration handicap, was up
again, and his handling of the ST. Vim
cent gelding in the stretch was beauti-
full to behold. Lisaro lost his chance
to pluck the fat purse on the first turn
when he was bumped back and pock-
eted on the back stretch. Forced to
take the overland in the home going,
Lisaro was unable to overhaul the fly
ing Glen. Both thoroughbreds came
on under a merciless shower but Glenn
lasted long enough to win by a nod.

stretch after leading in nice form, but

there practically came to terms with
the negro scrapper for a return match

In the meantime Ben Selig, Cans

articles of agreement were to have
been signed before this, but Cans wir-
ed from Chicago he did not want any
trucking with Thomas when there was
a chance to get the Battling Dane in
the ring.
Cans ought to reach San Francisco
today. For months he and Billy No
Ian have been haggling over half
pound or pound of weight, and there
Is no reason to believe that they will
get any nearer together now. Cans
wants to weigh, stripped, 1873 pounds

to be made with shoes and tights on,

night, for the first time since he was
nocked out by Jack OBrien in De-
cember, 1905 the veteran Bob Fitz-
simmons is to don the padded mitts
and face an opponent in the ring. AS
d part of the entertainment program
prepared for the visiting Elks, the
Washington Sporting club has ar
ranged for. six-round bout between
the former champion and Jack john
son, the big colored heavyweight. 1t
is the first time n year or more that
a fight between heavyweights of
known ability has been pulled off in
interest is manifested in the event.
The club expects a record breaking
crowd at the ringside.
The ring followers are curious to see
if Fitzsimmons is "all in as has been
the general impression in sporting
circles ever since the fight with
O'Brien. If the Australian retains any
considerable part of his old-time clev-
erness and hitting powers, it goes
without saying that Johnson will have
to keep busy during the six-round en-
gagement. ri"
In his prime Fitzsimmons would
have disposed of man of Johnson's
calibre in very short order Whether,
at As years of age, he is still possessed
of sufficient vitality to turn the trick

time admirers do not hesitate to as
sert their belief that he is still more

MONEY FOR

DR.. PearSOnS Will EndON'
College Of Idaho With
$25,OOO

CALDWELL, July 17.-Dr. D. K
Pearsons of Chicago, who gives the
most Of his large income to schools,
has pledged $4,000 to the College Of
Idaho, located at Caldwell, on condi-
ton that $4,000 additional be sub
scrfbed to make an endowment fund
of 500 900 for the maintenance of the
college. The conditional endowment of
DR.. Pearsons was secured through the
instrumentality of Miss Julia Finney,
teacher of English and German in this
school. DR.. w. J. Boone. president of
the college, believes the securing of the
requisite $4,000 to add to the DR..
Pearsons' fund, is quite within the
probabilities. In addition to the en-
dowment fund, a building fund of $780,
600 is in fair way to be assured, so
that ample buildings can be erected in
the near future. While all these
pledges Of money are conditional, they
are of the kind that point to the
greater success of the college on
broader scope. There was an enroll
ment last year Of ITO. which may be
increased this year, Notwithstanding
the fact that the present buildings are
not as commodious as is desired.

NOTES OF SPORT.

Philadelphia Jack O'Brien has not

sion of pugilistic fakes, but Is in his

big as ever. The Elks of Sleepytown

burn and O'Brien for Friday night.
Jack is to weigh 1874 pounds at p.

weights. O'Brien announces the fight
to be his last. Probably in prepara-
ton for a bad reception by the public
for his Los Angeles fiasco.
Barney Reynolds, Squires' manager,
says foreign fighters are Is years be-
hind the times. 1t is fact that every
champion that has crossed the Allan
tic from England during the past FIVE
years has suffered the bitterness of
defeat. Take the English champs
that u.s. the latter-day pugs-not one
who has sported the championship til
tie has left this country without a de-
feat opposite his name. Three years
ago Jabez White, considered the best
lightweight England has ever pro-
duced. and unbeaten until he crossed
the pond, opposed Jimmy Britt in a
20-round contest in San Francisco He
was knocked out in the last round. He
showed himself to be a wonderfully
clever boxer, but he was woefuIly
lacking in hitting power.
