CONNOLLY AND TOM SAWYER
IN GOOD BOUT At PORTLAND.

Portland, Me-, May 30.-The largest
crowd of the season witnessed a lively
bout of six rounds Saturday evening
at the Pastime Club between BARLEY
Connolly and Tom Sawyer, both of
Portland. Connolly was aggressive at
first and Sawyer during the first two
rounds on the defensive. In the second
round Connolly sent Sawyer to the
ropes with strong left to the jaw,
but Sawyer made a quick rally and
drove Connolly back.
From that time Sawyer led in prac-
tically all the rounds. His blows We're
stronger than those of Connolly, who,
however, got in a wicked left to the
face several times. Sawyer secured a
good uppercut in the fourth round and
then sent his right to Connollys face.
Sawyer had the lead in the sixth and
last round, although Connolly made a
very spirited effort and tried to put
Sawyer out. The closing blow a good
face smash, was secured by Sawyer.

DOINGS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS
Nelson Puts
Hyland Out
In 23d Round.

San Francisco, May 30.-With a ter
rife left hook to the stomach Battling
Nelson knocked out Fighting Dick Hy-
land in the 23d round at Coffroths
Colma arena Saturday afternoon, and
thus successfully defended his title OF
champion. The contest was
one of the most vicious ever seen IN
local ring. 1t was fairly even up to the
18th round, after which Nelson TOOK
the lead in all except three rounds. The
blow which started Hyland to defeat
was a fearful right swing to the jaw
in the 2lst round. The bell saved the
Californian, and in the next round he
was fioored twice. He was a beaten
man as he went out for the 23d round,
and after dropping for count of sew
en- he was again sent to the canvas for
keeps.
The bout attracted one of the largest
crowds that ever assembled to witness
a fight in this city, and Nelson drew
down about $4,000 as his share of the
receipts.
The fighters weighed in at 2.40, Hy-
land stepping on the scales first. He
seemed at least pound under weight.
Nelson was preceded by Willus Britt,
who acted as director general in the
Battlers corner The scales barely vi
brated as he stepped on them.
The champion was a 10-to-4 favorite,
and not much money was laid at these
odds. Even money was wagered that
Hyland would be fighting at the end
of Is rounds, and Nelson is said to have
bet several thousand dollars on his
ability to put away his man inside of
that limit

a well-known young woman, Robert

that several had been injured under

NAMING THE FLOWERS,
Designations of New Blossoms
Sources Of the oIdFashioned, Pop
ular Names.

What pity it is that new varieties
OF flowers cannot be named in the
pretty, homely way of their far-off
ancestors instead of by the overpower-
ing syllahles that are generally bestow-
ed on them. 1t has been said that,
roughly speaking, all new flowers
since the sixteenth century are the
blossoming advertisements of Swedish
botanists, German professors, Ameri-
can millionaires and Scottish garden
ers." They always Latinize the names,
too, and Latin flower names are so
hard and unsympathetic. great con-
trast to the Greek, which are always
beautiful. 1t is a delight merely 20
say such words as crocus, anemone,
narcissus, hyacinth, iris. daphne, as
phOdcl.
But the best names Of all are those
popular names that were given to
common flowers not only in old Eng
land. but throughout Europe, such
homely things as are still allowed to
bloom in an ancient garden at Tarring,
which is said to have been originally
planted by Thomas A. Beckett. In the
old names the flowers have a person.
ality of their own. they are living and
beloved. Migonette means little darl-
ing, meadow sweet is like q caress,
travellers joy and speedwell are kindly
greetings to the wayfarer. You know
that ilowers must have been an init
mate part of daily life when they were
named for the things in daily use
gloves or slippers, mirrors, or girdles.
What charming name is fOxglove,
and the French popular name is equal
ly delightful; the blossoms are lies
giants de Notre Dame" or lies doigt-
iers de NOtre Dame.''
Some of the Old World flowers were
directly personified as in ragged Rob-
in or "sweet William" or "sweet
Nancy" others were fragrant with
thoughts of sacred things. as "star of
Bethlehem" or "Marygold," while
others again whisper of travel, when
travelling was rarity. "Blackamoors
beauty is said to date from the Cru
sades. and "southernwood" carries
with it suggestions of all the aromatic
spices Of the South. Even today in
spite of the tendency to give ugly
names to exquisite blossoms we some
times fird a touch of pretty sentiment
in the naming Of flowers. At a flower
show in Normandy last summer I saw
some lovely new varieties Of the iris,
and I thought that the spirit of the
entente cordiale must have been pres
ent at their christening. "King of the
Blue" Smiling Mary" Village Maid"
