PUBLIC TO DECIDE
Edgewood A. c. Takes Excep tion to Statement of Bat"
 Masterson,
HARRY DID NOT FAKE HERE
No Fixing" Noticed in Appearance With Mantcll at Music Hall In
 der Clubs Auspices.

We. the f'dgewood Athletic club of New Haven still hold and win do SO for few days more, that Willie Lew is and Harry Lewis will be the star att traction for December li and win con- tlnue to stand firm on this card. unless the opinion Of some of the best sport ing authorities in the east agree with Bat Masterson who may be preiudiced against these men in his statement in a recent issue of the New York Tcle- graph, Of course We will acknowledge that Willie Lewis may have faxed a match al some time or other. but that does not and should not make people believe that this coming match with Hary Lewis has got to be prearranged.
 Now az to Harry Lewis. New Haven knows him 10 be clean man in the ring. and if We are not wrong. he has only one decision against him and that was hy Jimmie Gardner in ten rounds out west about IS months back.
 He has fought here in New Haven before our club last winter and he may lfl Af lfh'h AlidA llluN'A bAi Y Ihlk Ndll- tell did not think go, nor do we, the Edgewood A. C.
 We have always tried to give tho sport-loving public of New Haven. as wei ns of the state, card that would always please. lt is our opinion that hy making the present match of Lewis 1 against Lewis we have ono of tho best bouts obtainabe for Now Haven. and We will continue 10 believe so. until we have proof that we are wrong.
 These men agree to weigh In al liS pounds o'clock a, Fitzgerald X Ma. lone's cafe on Grown street on the day of match and everybody is welcome to come and sec them do go. Then all can pass judgment on their condition and their carnestness in the matter 1T both men should not do as agreed their forfets will go to tho club.
 Willie Lewis and Harry Lewis have met but once before and that was about three months aeo, six rounds in New York and by all accounts fl was one of the best six round affairs in New York this year, II was then said that you could not toll which was the better hoy unless they should meet for a bout Of a longer duration. Now that they have the chance to show their worth, some man who may. or may no, be little preiudlced, comes out wltt a statement to hurt tho show in ont way, or he may he boosting it in an. other. which way we will know decid edlv in a few days
 We have made all arrangements fo star card on December 14 and w, ] will have a star card, no matter wh' we use or what they cost We car assure the lovers of the game that WI will spare no oxpense to make this th best set of bouts we have ever given and people will know that we will hav i to traveT some to beat our past enter tainments Thanking the boxing lover once again for their past, as well a F their future patronage, we remain

 F J Coyle president. Dave Fitzgerald. vice president and referee,

The above communication, which is response to the sweeping statement of Bat Masterson in recent issue of the Morning Telegraph claiming that the two Lewis boys were notorious fakers. was received at the Journal Courier office last evening, and from It's contents 1t Is easily seen that the Edge wood club feels that Mr. Masterson was showing some personal animosity in his condemnation of the fighters
 It hardly seems possible that such men as Dave" Fitzgerald noted New England over, for his fairness in referecing bouts and squareness with the scrappers of the country and Frank Coyle, the well known matchmaker, could be justly accused of trying to kill the boxing game in New Haven, for such would be the result were a prehrranEed bout 10 be put on here
 Dave Fitzgerald In speaking Of the match, said that he would only be too glad to bounce the fighters out Of the ring were he to ace any indication of fixed bout and that the public could

letters that had been received by
citizens of that community.
A report also comes from Green
vile of Black Hand letters having
been received by Nick Chantiles and
George Duskas. For several weeks
Hattiesburg citizens have been COM
planning of Black Hand letters and
while no tragedies have resulted from
these communications the fact that
they are being promiscuously sent has
caused the parties receiving them
much apprehension.
During the conversation with
Walter Womack and his relatives this
morning Governor Noel advised them
to return home and pay no attention
to similar communications, but sug-
gested that they keep their eyes
open.

Preparing to Entertain
The Press Association

Active preparations for the meeting
of the Mississippi Press Association
which is to convene in Hattiesburg

way.
Yesterday afternoon, the general

of entertainment, met in the rooms
of the Commercial Club.
A number of plans looking to the
entertainment of the press associa.

will land victory.
The recent legislative session was
not prolific in the development of the
usual amount of gubernatorial talk.
Few prospective candidates were
brought forward, even in a tentative
way, the only solons casually men,
toned in connection with the office
being Senator Price of Noxubee, and
Representative Frank Burkitt of
Chickasaw.
1t is reasonably certain that an
other of last years candidates, Hon.
T. U. Sisson, will be an aspirant in
the race three years hence, and there
has been some talk to the effect that
Hon. Charles Scott may again enter
the field.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Among the many captivating stor-
les for children, none is. so popular
as the beautiful fairy tale of Alice
in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll;
so popular has this become that it is
now installed as a reader in most Of
the public schools throughout the
land. Almost every mother and every
child is now familiar with the strange
and beautiful dream of "Alice in
Wonderland" but it is not until re-
Gently that this charming story has
been set to music and dramatized.
The operetta seems destined to be-
come as famous as the story under
the skillful direction Of the dramati-
ger, Miss d. Hope Leonard, and the
able management of Col. John F.
Bragg, of New York City, who have
been engaged in presenting the
grand spectacular production in the
principal cities and theaters during
the past eight seasons. The produc-
ton is magnificently staged and re-
quires from one hundred and fifty to
two hundred and fifty people to as
sist the principals in presenting the
various scenes portrayed by the
author. The Hats, Cat Rabbit, Fish,
frog, mouse and other numerous ami
mails are introduced, as we'll as King,

Calendar Tea !,
The following Is something new in
the way of entertainment.
A simpler form of calendar enter
tainment is calendar tea. This fes-
tivity is especially adapted to adult
companies past the dancing age.
The invitations are written on the
bland side of the little calendars
which can be obtained at a station
cry store.
The amusement consists of a series
of guessing games appropriate to the
calendar idea.
For one of these have large cir
cular table on which place little OBJ
jects or pictures clipped from maya
months, seasons.
Thus, a parchment roll tied with
ribbon stands for June, the month of
graduation; gilt star of Bethlehem IS
celebrated; an apple tied to a string
for October and Halloween; picture
of Puritan, Thanksgiving.
Each little object or picture should
be identified with a number card by
which it can be guessed. Give a slip
calendar for the best guess.
| Another game is founded on liter
airy and historic illusions and quota
tions concerning months. Example:
What great person was warned to
beware of the ides of March?
Twelve such questions are written
on cards with spaces for answers left
blank. These the players are required
to fill out. A prize in the form of a
perpetual calendar is given for the
best set of guesses.
