 Jack Palmer, the latest one of King Edwards heavyweights to come to this country and get a good piece of money for taking heating, has made up his mind that he don't class with our boys and will sail for England within few days. Palmer left California yesterday for New York and will spend few days around town before taking his ship. The Englishman's setback came at the hands of one Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Who disposed of him in ten rounds in a one sided battle at Los Angeles last Tuesday night.
 Marvin Hart the Louisville heavy weight who has been in retirement for some months. has come out of his shell again and has agreed to meet Peter Maher, the former Irish heavy weight champion. for twenty rounds at catch weights before the Whiting ton Park A. C. of Hot Springs, on the night of April 9.
 
 Baltimore, March 30.--Referee Bert Crowhurst Thursday night handed Harlem Tommy Murphy, of New York. present, when he awarded the battle with Kid Sullivan to the Harlem boy in the second round in the scheduled fifteen-round contest before the Eureka Athletic club. CrOwhurst narrowly escaped being struck with an empty setter bottle hurled by an angry fight fan.
 The contest was fast one from the first tap of the gong. Sullivan had all the better of the first round. Murphy tried hard to mix matters. but found the Washington boy just as aggressive as he was. In the in- fighting Sullivan punished Murphy hard. especially on the body. Mur- phy played for the face. but the Kid covered up cleverly and by blocking avoided dangerous blows.
 At the end of the first round Mur- phy was worried and Sullivan confi- dent. In the second round Murphy went ,ipto do op-dic. Sullivan met ti,e New Yorker at his own game. and it was slam-bang affair. Science was thrown to the winds. Two stom- ach punches placed Murphy to the bad. He quickly recupcrated and shot left to the stomach and right to the jaw which sent Sullivan to the mat. Crowhurst started to count. hut forgot his numbers and counted Sullivan out as the latter was on his feet and ready to go on.
 Nothing was left for the Washing ton boy to do ecept to bow to the in- and acknowledge defeat. al- though he was beaten more by Crow hurst than he was by Murphy. 4 big crowd of New York racing men from Bennings were pleased.

THE EVENING GAME.

Bridgeport, March Bridgeport wiped the floor at the the armory last night with the fast bunch from Waterbury, beating them to 1. as if in revenge for their defeat of the afternoon. For the first two periods the contest was fast one but the third was rather listless, the players apparently being tired after their work of the afternoon.
 It was the same story, fast team work on the part of the Bridgeport team. proving superior to the brilliant individual work of the opposing team.
 The contest was rather roughly played. the players pushing each oth- CT frequently and committing many fouls. but Referee Doherty saw only one and that was when Fahey falling to the floor made fine stop of ball with his hand. The line up and sum- mary: B.

Waterbury Defeated Bridgeport in the Afternoon and Lost in the

In one of the most exciting games of polo that was ever played on the local surface, Waterbury defeated Bridgeport yesterday afternoon, while the 2,000 or more fans went wild over the excellent team work of the locals, particularly in the last two periods Before Waterbury got fair ly started the visitors scored three goals. and those in the very first period. After that there was noth- ing to 1t but Waterbury, for our players toyed with the Bridgeports as a cat would with a mouse, The only thing that saved Bridgeport from a worse defeat was the remark able playing of Harper at goal Sel- dom has such, brilliant work been seen in any polo game and the root CTS became enthused over his excel lent goal tending.

to transform half worn costume of
ceremony into one designed pricinpally
for comfort.
Morning frocks of China silk are mex
pensiye and cool. They are made with
short skirts, plated or tucked and with
shirtwaists, preferably finished with soft
turnover collars and cuffs.
China and pongee silks are also used
for kimonos and matlnees, trimmed with
inexpensive black lace, with beading run
through with ribbon or pin-tucked, with
entire deux of lace. Lawns and muslins
are made up on similar lines, and for
the long, seml-ftting wrappers dotted
and embroidered Swiss ruffies trim the
plain materials and vice versa.
The well-made, all-black hat has ever
been considered eminently practical as
well as smart especially In the moderate
ly large shapes in Neapolitan, fancy
straws and chip. Trimmed heavily with
handsome feathers, such q hat may be
worn the year round for formal occasions,
and is often seen with furs and velvets.
A collection of black ostrich or osprey
plumes is a valuable asset to any wom-
ans wardrobe, as these feather trim
mings may be utilized season after sea-
son without monotony. Black roses are
also exceedingly smart and do not fade
quickly. Small hats composed wholly OF
replicas of that rare exotic may be worn

Fascinating as are the modes of mid
summer 1t Is remarkable how little that
is really new there Is in costuming. New
effects in millinery and novelties in &C
cessories are continually coming forward
but costume effects circle around those
modes which have marked the season
since its opening.
1t is surprising, too, what variations
can be worked out with the Japanese
idea. Designers seem loath to part with
this idea which has been the source OF
such clever inspiration throughout the
season, and 1t is confidently predicted
that a fall and winter of cut-out arm
holes, dropping shoulders and sling sleeves
in jumper dresses and princess and en-
pire frocks Is ahead Of US.
But present modes are of interest Just
at this time.
The shirtwaist suit which figured 80
strongly in the summer wardrobe of pre-
vious years is conspicuously absent, its
place usurped by the ubiquitous jumper
dress expressed In a variety of ways
and materials. Some women like the
trtmness of the shirtwaist dress better
than the simplicity of the jumper which
they argue savors too much of the small
maids wardrobe, but the great majority
of our girls and matrons, too,-for wom-
en- Of all ages are wearing this becoming
jumper dress-favor the youthfulness and
simplicity Of this mode. 1t is practical
and economical as we'll as a pretty fash
Ion. Frocks of other seasons can be sue
cessfully remodelled along these lines,
and blouses which have given their best
t0 thn tto ,trt
or tailored suit find a prolonged life in
the guise of guimpes.
More various than the materials which
make these dresses are the variations OF
the mode. While the princess jumper is
attractive 1t is, however, by no means
universally becoming, and therefore 1t is
not as popular as the baby princess, waist
and skirt of which are Joined with q
narrow belt of the material or lace or
embroidery trimming.
The same may be said of the lingerie
frocks this season. Women have found
that unless the princess lingerie frocks Of
sheer, fimsy cottons and linens, laces and
embroideries, are mounted over a tight
hitting and carefully boned lining they
fail In lifting the figure smoothly as a
princess dress rightly should.
Ihe tendency toward what might be
termed top-heayiness of elaboration is
very apparent in this years lingerie mod
els, skirts though elaborate with insets
OF iaces and embroideries, often made en-
tirely OF these two trimmings without any
lingerie material whatever, are cut on
plain gored lines and simply gathered,
pieated or tucked Into the waistband.
Wnere the trimmings are applied fat In
tne skirt tney take the form of frlllings

way give the effect Of great whist e,ebo-
ration,

made entirely Of narrow lace friIIinqs

sheer batiste, tucked and inserted with

embroidery f1ouncing. This use Of wide

| waist and falling in graceful folds to the
feet. The same lace forms the sleeves,
the yoke AMI not infrequently the boero
or surplice which is then bordered with
the material of the gown.
An excellent combination in three
piece black costume is embroidered Brus-
sells net and chiffon cloth. The absolute
lv plain cloth skirt is demi-trained, the
blouse has pointed yoke and deep girdle
of embroidered net and a Directoire knee
length coat Of brussels is deeply bordered
with embroidery. The same model may
be carried out by substituting taffetn for
embroidered net. Sometimes the heavier
material surmounts the lighter, as In the
case Of an embroidered net skirt and
bodice and long silk Empire coat with
Toxic sleeves, collar and bordering Of
embroidered net.
Silk redlngotes over semi-transparent
gowns are exceedingly smart, and closely
follow the lines of the figure, with sleeves
small at the arm-size and faring widely
at the elbow. Many have short pointed
vests, terminating below the bust with
fall of lace.
Among black lingerie gowns-never
meant to be introduced to a wash tub
are those of embroidered muslin and dyed
Valenciennes, the latter showing rows of
narrow taffeta ribbon on the full, demi-
trained skirt, and on the blouse with its
puffed elbow sleeves, or the jacket which
usually has short mandarin sleeves. Sim
pier lingerie frocks are of batiste made
with pin tucks and lace entire deux, as
in white, save that inexpensive French
laees are frequently substituted for Val
enciennes and Mechlin. In the same
class are the large and small dotted
Swisses which wear wonderfully well and
do not fade.
Summer evening gowns of lansdowne,
chiffon cloth and the heavier laces are
best for wear at the seaside, as they
successfully Withstand the salt air Else
where, chiffon. thin laces and all varie-
ties Of net are employed. Unless made
In the princess or Empire style, 1t Is
we'll to have two waists with each sum-
mer dinner gown, as with high bodice
the skirt may be worn to an afternoon
party.
Summer tea gowns are practically of
the same materials as are the dinner
gowns, and on Empire lines. Any COM
petent seamstress or maid should be able

At every ultra ashionable gathering may
be noticed from two to twenty women
garbed from toe-tip to feather-tip In
black. which even unobservant man would
never for an instant mistake for mourn
ing attire. These women select their fabrics
as well as their dressmakers so carefully
that each gown, wrap and hat seems to
precisely suit the occasion. Among the
we'll known women who wear exceedingly
smart black costumes are Mrs. Paul Nor
ton, who invariably makes distinguished
appearances: Mrs. Hermann Oelrich, who
is slighter than Of yore, and Mrs Pres
colt Lawrence, who looks stunning in
whatever she may elect to don. Mrs.
Clarence Mackay occasionally wears all
black, even when not In mourning, and
there might be mentioned a score of
other fashionable women whose beauty Of
face or figure is best set out by the
inky hue which Hamet's mother de-
plored in the melancholy young prince
ling's new cloak.
For summer tailored costumes there is
a wide range of black materials-panama,
Shantung, mohair, taffeta, yelling and
voile, made into walking skirts, plated
or gored or paneled trimmed with gradu-
ated bands, buttons, ribbons, braid and
tucks and outaway or box coats with
stitched collars, cuffs and pocket-laps, or
etons with rows of ribbon about the
sleeves as well as the shoulders and
waistcoats.
Elaborate street costumes designed for
church weddings, afternoon receptions
and tho races are of marquisette, lans-
downe, silk, yelling, bordered or plain
chiffon cloth, crepe de chine or China
silk. These are all flexible fabrics lend
ing themselves readily to the Empire
model which, by the way, may be es-
sayed successfully by the tall or short,
the fat or lean woman. for the mission
of the modern dressmaker or tailor Ia to
make the figure Of each customer appear
not what It is but what 1t should be-
Some OF the fashionable semt-trans-
narent materials are so beautiful In
themselves, that, made on Empire lines,
they require scarcely any trimming other
than taffeta or velvet ribbon and scrap
Of rare lace. When the princess designs
are employed quantities of embrolderies,
silk appliques and laces are used. For In

Judge A. Mcclellan Mathewson Of
this city, chosen by the governor as
the delegate from Connecticut to meet
with the descendants of the signers of
the Declaration Of Independence at the
jamestown fair on the Fourth Of

AS a delegate from one Of the IS

ganizing Of an association of the de-
scendants of signers Of the Declaration
of Independence and the launching of
a boom to erect a Signers' building in
Washington.
At general meeting preceding the

1t is planned to gather all relics as
ISOLATED with the signing of the de-
claration and all heirlooms Of the sign
ers in the building, making it Of prom

"A visit to the Connecticut building
and a look at the exhibits is enough to
make a Connecticut mans bosom swell
with pride, said the Judge yesterday.
