BOXING BOUTS
TAKE THE COUNT
Lack Of Patronage Causes
Suspension Of Athletic
Clubs Exhibitions

Lack Of patronage has caused the
management OF the Delaware Athletic
Club to announce that the boxing con-
tests held at the rink near Brandywine
Springs Park would be discontinued,
although there IS possibility that
they may be held once a month.
The club has worked hard and
earnestly to give good clean exhibitions
and has succeeded in this respect, but
as az every show the club managers
have had to go down IN their pockets
and make up a deficiency Of more than
a hundred dollars, It was deemed ad-
visable to abandon them rather than
to put on a cheaper class Of boxers and
thus displease the public.
The fact that there is o large number
Of men out Of employment has con-
tributed largely TO the failure Of the
tournaments TO be a paying venture.
The boxing shows began on December
IS, and an exhibition has been given
nearly every Wednesday night since,
but at each show the attendance grew
smaller until the climax was reached
on wednesday night last, when bnt
two hundred and thirty persons were
present

Those Gathered at Poultry
Show Not Used for
Breeding

Much interest is being taken in the
poultry show in Turn Hall, as is evident
from tho attendance last night. The visit
ors talk sagely of the fine points of The
fowls. and it is safe bet that many
novices who have overheard the chicken
jargon have taken to handbooks them
selves to read up on the requisites OF
aristocratic and blooded fowls
In the course Of a day many eggs are
laid by the hens at the exhibition. but
these cannot be bought for breeding pur.
poses. A wealthy woman on Wednesday
offered to pay superintendent Donohoe
fancy sum for the eggs he would gather
this week from the cages. but Mr.. Dono-
hoo had to decline her offer. She even
said she would permit him to name d
price for the eggs. While not generally
known it is a rule that eggs gathered Al
poultry show cannot be used or sold
for breeding purposes They are treated
and made unit for breeding, after which
they have the value Of ordinary eggs for
food purposes. Some OF the eggs gathered
from cages at the show are worth 50 q
dozen.
One Of the judges Of the exhibition oi
the Columbia Poultry and Pet Stock AS

MERCHANTS TO
BOOM GLAZED KID
Mercantile Association Also
May Give d Dinner to
Further Campaign

The Mercantile Association may give
a dinner to boom Wllmington's great
product, glazed kid. At its meeting
last night the association appointed the
following committee to report on the
feasibility of having a dinner: f. H..
steinle, H. S. Rothermel, Carl Mayer.
Frank Mettler and ]. S. Clarke.
The dinner idea is the result of a
movement that has been under way
for some time to boom this city and
its glazed kid. 1t is purposed to fol-
low teh example Of the Red Cross So
ciety and get business men here TO
have their stationery imprinted with
some reference to the fame of VIII
mington's glazed kid.
The association win have letters
printed and sent to business men urg-
ing them TO have their printers use a
stamp upon their letters with the
words: Buy Shoes Made of Whining
ton Glazed Kid" David Snellenberg
and all the morocco manufacturers of
this city are behind the movement, the
idea Of having the imprint put on
stationery originating with Mr.. Smell
Iceberg.
Grocers who peddle goods from their
wagons will be fought by the associa-
tion. A committee was appointed to
gain evidence of such selling. It is
declared an injustice to tax paying
grocers who sell from their stores to
have to compete with grocers who sell
from their wagons. Offenders will be
arrested on the charge Of peddling
without a license.
