RETRENCHMENT IN EFFECT.
Foremen, Stenographer and Clerk Go
 in Public Works Office.

Retrenchment began in the public works department yesterday, for at the close of the days work, which also closed the city employees week, seven or eight of the foremen in the street department were laid off and Clerk Patrick McGovern and Stenographer Miss Lena Gierding were also let go.
 Both of the latter are supposedly un- der civil service rules, but it is the contention of the new administration that the civil service rules apply only to where there is no cause for the re- moval of such clerks as may be in office.
 The cause for the removal of the clerks mentioned was given yesterday by Superintendent of Streets Cronin, in Miss Gierding's case. as that neither the charter nor appropriations provide for a stenogTapher for the superin- tendent of streets and as he intends to live strictly up to the duties and DOW CTS of his office he is not going to overstep them In MT .McGovern's case it is stated that there is no need of such a clerk. as the clerks in the pub lie works department are numerous enough and have plenty of time to do the work he is engaged on.

CORNELL OFF SCHEDULE.
Harvard Gives Up One of the. Crew
 Races for This Spring.

The Harvard crew management has announced that there will be no boat race with Cornell this year. as there has been for the past three years. No req son is given for discontinuing a race that has been very popular at Har- yard. as we'll as at Ithaca, although the Crimson has as yet failed to de- feat the Cornell oarsmen.
 It is generally believed. however, that the reason for giving up the race is because Harvard has found herself un- able in the past to turn out a strong enough crew to have a reasonable chance of winning the Cornell. race and Aat the same time not Interfere with the development of the eight to meet Yale at New London. The same req son will probably account for the ab- sence of the Columbia race from the Harvard rowing schedule.

 Through Twelve Round Bout.

Boston, Jan. 7.--Joe Walcott, of Bos- ton, was easily defeated by Jimmy Gardner, of Lowell, in a 12-round bout before the members of the new Armory Athletic association here tonight.
 Both men weighed in at l42 pounds. Gardner showed early in the fight that he was too clever for Walcott and had him beaten in the first six rounds, get ting at Walcotts head and body at will
 During the first half of the contest walcott hardly landed a good blow. In the last of the fight Gardner seemed apparently content with his lead Wal colt forced the fighting, but Gardner's clever blocking kept him out of danger and at no time was Walcott able to get at him
 Walcott claimed foul in the fourth round but it was not allowed.
