GOOD BOXING EXHIBITION.
Young Murphy and Frank Mclean Go
the Limit-WrestIina Match Ar
ranged.

The Windham Athletic club offered
for its members a good sparring ex-
hibition Friday evening at its club
rooms in Main street. Two bouts Of
six rounds were scheduled. The first
between Block Harris of Willimantic
and Cyclone Mack Of Boston was a hz-
zle. the local man showing better form
and condition. and after the first
round it was apparent he was too
much for the beaneater and the referee
called the exhibition off In the second
round for that reason.
The second match was corker.
Young Murphy of Boston. weighing is
pounds more than his shifty opponent,
Frank Mclean, of the Windhan Ath-
letic club, went the stipulated number
of rounds. The exhibition was thor
oughly scient hc one and greatly en-
joyed. Mclean showed more clever
ness and was in better condition than
his opponent, being cool and collected.
The match met with the unqualified
appreciation of all the members. No
decisions were given. Jake O'Rourke,
an old time boxer, was referee and
William Kelly officiated as timekeeper.
AL. members of the club arc determine
ed not to accept any more such lemons

OLD BOROUGH HALL
Desired by Purchaser as Location for
Small Industry.

When the new central fire station
is ready for occupancy, which will be
in a few weeks, the old borough hall
building. where the General Putnam
steamer company, Rather hook and
ladder company and Pioneer hose
company are now stationed, will be
practically abandoned, so far as its use
by the borough is concerned. Warden
w. Fl, MARYLAND has already been ap-
preached by parties who desire to pur-
chase the building and there are many
citizens who are of the opinion that
il should be disposed of as quickly as
possible. At one time the basement
was used as a cell room for keeping
prisoners, but since the police quar-
tiers in the town hall building were
built, the fire companies have been
the only users of the building. ex-
cept when the hall upstairs has been
occupied for borough meeting or for
a meeting Of the Bricklayers and Ma
sons unions. As a place for holding
borough meetings It is as often as not
unsatisfactory, being difficult of ac-
cess, small and poorly ventilated.
From now on the rental of the hall,
the only source OF revenue from the
building, will be barely sufficient to
cover the cost of insurance, not to
mention the cost of upkeep or the loss
of the interest on the investment it
represents.
One Of the inquirers who wants to
purchase intends. il he can buy. to use
II to house a small industry which he
is willing TO move here from neigh
boring town. So far as place for
holding borough meetings in the flu
ture is concerned, halls can be hired in
Danielson once or twice a year, for
a far less sum than it would cost to
hold the borough building; places
more convenient of access and more
satisfying to the voters.
