WELSH WHIPS FRAYNE
English PuuIist's First Appearance ir
New York City Marked BY
Victory.

New York, May 7.-FredIie Welsh.
English lightweight. defeated Johnny
Frayne of California, IN a rast ten
round bout tonight.
Neither man was able to hit very
hard and while both were clever, the
English visitor, who appeared for the
first time in New York tonight was
the master hand at every stage of the
mill. Frayne did a lot of roughing
but he always got the worst of the
argument at short range.
Welsh landed so frequently that
had his blows been backed by even
moderate power, a knockout might
has been placed to his credit. None
of the blows of the Californian was
heavy enough to leave a mark upon
the British boxer.

Directors Of the Cairo Commercial
club held a meeting yesterday after
noon, President Smith presiding. The
meeting was called to confer with n
stranger who had an advertising
scheme to present, in which Cairo
was to be made prominent. The
Board did not look fayorably upon
the scheme.
Incidentally the Board discussed
further the proposed Kentucky &
Ohio River Electric ROAD which has
been more or less before the people
Of Cairo and for which a committee
of the Board has been soliciting sub
scriptions. II was pointed out by
President Smith and others that the
road was TO be bonded for the full
cost of its construction, and This
would materially weaken the bonds.
It was argued that under these cir
cumstances, If the. road should lose
money for a year or two, It would be
thrown into the hands Of a receiver
and the bonds would depreciate con
siderably. The Board decided not to
take any further action for the pres
ent to promote the project.
Will Be Here Today
Some of the big men connectd d
with the project will be IN Cairo to-
day, notably a representative Of the
Chicago Trust Co, who will finance
the project, Mr. Burdy. a banker Of
Bandana, Ky, and Mr.. Freundlich,
the promoter. These gentlemen will
seek a conference with representative
men of Cairo with n view to adjust
ing matters at issue and placing the
project in a favorable light before
the moneyed men of Cairo. ~
