call them into the ring at the Nation
al Athletic club tonight where they
will endeavor to settle their respective
claims to the welterweight champion
ship.
The articles Of agreement will call
for a six-round go at las pounds.
It is a long time since a fight here
has aroused so much interest, and
from all indications there will be a
record breaking crowd at the ringsidS
No Decision Under the Law.
AS the fight will be only for six
rounds and will be without decision
1t is not probable that it will have
any great bearing on the champion
ship title. The bout will serve to
show, however, the relative merits Of
the two fighters.
Melody claims the welterweight
title by reason of his defeat of Joe
walcott at Chelsea last November,
since which time he has been general
" regarded as the champion.
The claims of Thomas are based on
the fact that he defeated Melody. but
as this was before Melody won the
title from walcott 1t is difficult to
figure out satisfactorily the validity

MANCHESTER, England, June 15.-In
no branch OF activity is the so-called
American invasion" of Europe more
significant than in the construction of
big buildings ono OF the latest cOups
OF Yankee enterprise Is the securing OF
the contract for putting in the floors OF
the mammoth infirmary at Manchester.
This much coveted contract. though
sought by many British bidders. was
awarded 10 an American concern.
To get an adequate impression OF the
size of this infirmary one should
imagine two New York city blocks used
for one purpose. The whole establish
ment. which is really a series Of sep
arate. but connected buildings, viii cost
about 100000 The frame proper Is
made Of steel, but the steel beams will
be protected by fireprOohng material.
The same American company which IS
doing this work has also obtained the
contracts for doing the floors and parti-
tions Of the Birmingham Telephone Ex-
change building and the Orleans apart
ments in Liverpool
In London the steel frame and the
hollow terra Gotta protection. which dis
tinguish the American buildings OF the
best type, are beginning to be s familiar
sight. Scientific fireprooang has gained
special favor since the erection OF the

Deal Was One of Prin-
Cipal Transactions
of Last Week.

For the past few weeks there has
been something OF a lull in apartment
house, buying. attributed more particu-
larly 10 the general idea that the FASH
ion in real estate, like everything else,
had fits special times and seasons and
that tho attention of investors was now
temporarily at least, turned In other
directions. Real estate agents have been
paying more attention to other matters
and have awaited with confidence the
return Of the investor to this class Of
investment buying which has proved so
profitable In the past, and gives no
indications Of any change in that re-
spect. although there are the usual
number OF croakers who predict that the
market is over-supplied
Such was not the opinion at least of
William G. Kinsman, OF 9OS f street
who has just completed the purchase of
the Ilkley apartment house at 1920 L
street northwest. The building is a
handsome one. four stories high. and
was erected about three years ago bv
Harry Wardman. It became popular
at once and has ever since been well
filed by a desirable class of tenants.
The deal was made through the office
OF r. s. Donaldson. The purchase price,
whilo not given, is understood to have
been about $4,000 and is considered a
fair price for this property.
