hd Johnson fsIed In London,
Nay Box With An Athletic Peer

LONDON, May 11.-Jack Johnson,
the negro pugilist, has been the re-
cipient OF unusual attention on the
part Of the English sporting public,
his rooms in the Adelphi Hotel being
crowded nightly by English men and
women who pay him homage.
Early the past week Johnson was
invited to visit Lord Lonsdale In his
splendid town house, IN Carlton House
Terrace. To use Johnson's words.
Lord Lonsdale treated me like a
white man."
Lord Lonsdale felt Johnson's mus.
cles and then made the negro feel
his. Johnson said:
Lord Lonsdale Is as hard as q
rock"
Lord Lonsdale showed Johnson his
arm, broken In his last prize fight,
and then took Johnson to the top of
his mansion, where a large room,
equipped with a ring and seats 10 ar
ranged. wherein the sporting Lord
holds private exhibitions, which are
many aristocratic ladies'.
Johnson was obliged before leaving
Carlton House Terrace, where the ex-
patriated United States citizen, Will.
lam Waldorf Astor also has house.
to promise his Lordship that he will
give him private exhibition OF his
abilities. Lonsdale himself may spar
with the negro as an amateur.
Among cronies OF the sporting
nobleman 1t is said that this go" II
1t does take place. will be quite a
lively one.

A new version OF laying up heats

second heat OF the race. and when
the next heat was called he didn't
