The Central Club has been unable tt
get the Orpheum for the boxing exhi
bition which they will pull off a week
from Saturday as Richard Butler vii
be back by that time and the house
will be light. This being the case the
show will be given at the Central Club
headquarters and the management
states that every arrangement will be
made for the comfort of those who go
to witness the exhibition
The ring will be well lighted by arc
lamps and the open air will be more
comfortable for spectators and boxers
alike than the stuffy atmosphere of the
interior of a theater.
Jack McF'adden has been hard put
to it to find boxing partners for his
training stunts and yesterday he seem
ed to be properly up against it. He
had been out on the road in the early
morning and was feeling just right for
a good mill in the afternoon when he
stripped for work at the Hotel Baths
He went through the usual exerciser
and bag-punching stunts and then look
ed round for somebody to box with
Practically all of the members of the
French allen-Fuller Company from
the Orpheum were present and when
Jack cheerily requested somebody to
come out and box with him, he was as
cheerily answered by Jimmie Polk, the
great banjo player.
sfSure III box with you,' said jim
mie and he quickly changed his clothes
and stepped onto the balcony, put on
the gloves and called himself ready to
show McFadden what he could do.
Jack thought it was a joke at first
but he soon found that he was up
against no Joke nor jokester. Jimmie
sized up like quick little boxer and
he soon showed that appearances were
not deceptive. For four slap-bang
rounds they kept at it and Jack was
kept busy keeping away from the live
" straights that the little vaudevillan
pasted on his jaw.
Tt was a lively bout and the mem
bers of the company eheered heartily
every time their man landed. Jack
was hopping all the time and came In
with a rush now and again although
he was very careful to take no chance
of iniuring either the facial or digital
beauty of his friendly opponent.
While MeFadden was amusing the
spectators at the baths, Reilly was do
ing the same thing down at the boat
club. After Pete Baron had put HIM
through the regular training stunts,
he called on August Reineeke lively
little local amateur to put on the
gloves. Young Reineeke is just about
the same weight and height as Reilly
and is as quick as a flash.
The two boys went three fast ROUNDS
and were watched by large crowd
of fans that had collected for the pur-
pose of seeing Reilly work. DR.. Roller
stood at one end of the boat house
and watched the work with a very
interested look on his face. The blg
man takes a great interest in boxing
and is no SLOUGH himself with the mltts.
Fred Smith had talk with the doc
tor while the boys were boxing ana
the big athlete has consented to appear
in the ring on the night of the exhi-
hilton and be introduced to an audl-
ence that will doubtless be pleased to
have chance to see the wrestling
wonder.

1t was the first set of the tournament

the agile visitors. When Steere served

When Savage went back to serve I
watched him with interest expecting
moderate service at the best. Three
balls he collected, one he placed in the
crook of the stump of his left arm and
the other two he held with his right

He held the racquet vertically and
tossed one ball carefully into the air,

that it was fuke and, even if / had,
I should have been undeceived very
quickly for he repeated this stunt time
and time again, making very few first

nearly as hard as the first without one
double fault in the whole set.
Tt was not only his serving that was
good. his returns and head work were
equally admirable. 1.-the and quick in
his movements he was all over his part

attack, Little for his side and Wrenn

lost, because the lobs failed to land
within the courts. Both pairs waited
for the openings and then made the
most of them.

some of their volleys from back of the

After Wright and Little had pulled
the match out of the fire with the odds
very much against them, they were
given an ovation by the gallery for
their plucky fight as they left the court.

A LA ROOSEVELT.

Mr.. Bryan "a la Theadore Roose-
welt, is out with an, announcement
that if he shall be elected to the
Presidency in November, he will
never seek reelection to the great
office again. This is exactly what
might have been expected from the
Democratic candidate; it is his first
act in assimilating the methods and
policies Of the present executive, and
before he is done with his course in
the campaign it will be observed
and noted, that he is hewing relig-
iously to the Roosevelt line; it will
pay him immensely TO do it He can
have no better nor safer criterion,
and he knows it,
The man who cannot match Roose-
velt as man and president, will ap-
peal in vain to the American people.
Therefore, we are not surprised to see
the great Nebraskan emulating him
thus early in the game. 1t is fully
expected Of Mr.. Taft, for to him

only, and will have to accept tht
consequences, chief among which
will be negation measurable onl,
by the momentous importance OF
their respective colleagues, in the
turmoil that is ahead OF us all.
Very recent history has given the
American people lesson worth the
needing in this matter OF vice -presi-
dents: The succession Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, falling as it did to man OF
invincibie courage and wonderful
training, furnishes forth a hint of
what the vice-presidency may mean
at any time in our history. We know
nothing of the gentlemen immediate
ly in question as fit successors OF
either OF the leaders, and we can but
hope they are Of the calibre that will
meet and serve any such tremendous
emergency.
The mere sufferance to which the
vice presidency has dropped in these
days, has made it a fearsome thing to
most good and able men, who see in
it the trayesty Of office-holding in the
concrete, and nothing else, and refuse
to allow themselves to go up for sac
rifce. III is time the close associate
of the Chief Executive of the Nation,
the second man in the land, was made
something Of besides a political sop,
and poor fgurehead, a hollow
sham, and a subject for ribald car
toon and jest; the office should be in
vested with dignities that lineup
sharply with the prestige of the
greater post and save our good and
reputable men from the reproach in
separable from its present emptiness
and barren import, even if the ma
tional constitution has to be amend
ed in the doing Of it.

the mantle OF his friend, mentor, and
chief has been, tentatively, cast, and
will be taken up and proudly borne
by the man who has helped amazing
ly in the formulation and application
OF those policies to which the whole
country, irrespective of politics, has
subscribed.
Mr.. Bryan can do no better than
cling closely to the doctrines Of the
Rooseveltian era, if he really hopes
to inaugurate "Bryanic" period, and
we cannot forfend the fear that even
with the most ardent alignment of
this sort, he is destined to meet a
period OF another kind; the kind that
will forever fix the said "Bryanic"
period at a date co-incidental with
the day OF election in November next.

as to warrant the iiveiiest anticipa-

both the practical and the ethical

There can be no doubt of the entire
good will Of city and county in this
valuable premise, and every thing
will be done to contribute to the open

Company itends to build system oi
docks at that point and amplify its
yardage and remodel its depot and
grounds generally to meet an acess

The fact that the campany is lay
ing a double track road from that
city to Vancouver direct and that it
will be finished co-incidentally with
the new docks and warehouses allud-
ed to, is significant Of the policy of
the Hill people not to be tied up to
Portland for their export and coast
shipping facilities; that it will have a
straight and independent line OF
operation to use, for direct, augmen-
tive or substitute carriage of grain or
other outward cargoes,
