LEMBERG THE FAVOR|TE PERMIT FOR Bic FIGHT
Supervisors Rush Vote, Giving
No Chance for a Protest.

San Francisco May 51.-With only two
dissenting votes and without preliminary
discussion the permit for the forty-ive-
round battle on July between Jeffries and
Johnson was granted to-day by the Board
Of Supervisors.
The board room was crowded with repre-
seutatives of church and civic organiza-
tons. who did not get chance TO voice
their protests. The permit was advanced
on the boards calendar and passed before
the objectors knew IT, When they learned
that the permit had been granted. the pro
testauts Indignantly left the room in
body
BY their action to-day the Board Of Su-
pervisors removed the last official prelimi-
nary obstacle in the way OF the promoters
Of the battle who viii nov proceed with
the erection OF the arena. District Attor-
rey Fickert and the ChieS Of Police have
announced that they will not seek TO pre-
vent the contest.
when the board assembled John l.. Her
get. chairman Of the Police Committee
moved that "on account Of the large num-
Der of bids which were to be opened by the
board. the matter of the permit he ad-
vaDced, on the calendar and taken I'D i'm
mediateIy''
In skins the motion. he said he was
led to take this step for the convenience OF
the large number of persons who had gath
e1 ed to discuss the subject.
In tine buzz Of comment that followed his
motion This part Of mis- utteranCe seems to
have been lost on the pTotestants. The mo-
ton was put and carried before the dazed
obiectors realized that they had lost their

Splendid hitting, combined with fine rid

easy victory for the Van Cortlandt Cup
Yesterday in the final match of the tourna-
ment on the Van Cortlandt Park field
They defeated the Port Chester team by
the net score of 10 goals 10 81. and thereby
take the third trophy that the Coopers-

An unfortunate accident was the only
untoward feabure of the match. c. P.

that gsshed his right cheek to the bone.
This happened two minutes after the be-

was estimated that the annual income
would be $1l1.GO0. With this fund
the State was ready TO estaDllsh d
system Of public schools.
Numerous plans were discussed.
Enthusiasm was running high. An
educational campaign was begun, d
plan was adopted, and a public school
system was finally i~nauSurated IN
1870.
These two volumes collected and
edited by Mr.. Coon, tell the whole
story. The material is here for any
one to read for himself. 1t is not d.
gested; but the bills, laws,
essays, addresses, editorials commun-
ications-aIl appear as in the original,
.mistakeS and all"
The State was asked to support
Sunday schools. t. regulate the teach
ing of colored apprentices, to estab-
lisll a political college, to provide for
the training of teachers, to prohibit
the teaching of slaves; but the two
volumes are not confined exclusively
to matters educational. The growth
of populations, the cause Of emigration,
the of State government, So
cial and economic conditions, the evils
Of slavery, course Of study in high
schools. intolerant public policy, the
care of the deaf and dumb, opposition
to all progress, teachers associations,
and other questions dealing With the
Institutions life of the people appear.
Mr.. Coon has made it possible for
the first time for our history to be
written. covering the most formative
period of our existence. When the
history of education. industrial de-
velop1nent, social evolution. and po-
litical hanges are written, the author
Of each will be indebted to Mr..

question. which became acute as a
consequence Of the closing Of the
bank that he performed his greatest
legislative service by devising and pro
posing the plan Of an independent
treasury. Although il MAS not adopt
cd during his term. he Was the father
OF II, and Calhoun said that in work
ing out the plan he had "the inSp.ra-
ton of genius in craftsmanship.
Gordon was defeated in 1884 and.
with the exception Of his part Ia the
Nashville convention OF 1850. had
nothing more TO do with public life.
He devoted all Of his energies To the
practice of law in which he was very
successful. He died in 1858
The book is attractive. in spite of
the g~rieVous burden of genealogl and
repetition which it carries. No biog-
raphy of the fine type of a~nte-belIum
Southern legislator here portrayed
could be otherwise. But the real
merit Of the book IS in danger of be
ing concealed by the long lists Of
names TO which are appended bio
graphical items of little interest and
less value and genealogical items that
are dreary in the extreme. Many of
the items Of both kind are repeated
from time to time. The tone OF the
author is too laudatory; every man in
the Virginia Assembly. in the conven-
ton in Congress, in fact all the men in
Virginia politics from 1900 to 1880. not
excepting John Tyler, seem, in the
opinion of the author, to ave been
statesmen Of the first rank. In this
catalogue of sins should be included
one of omission. One cannot but Wish
that more space had been given to
the charming letters written by Cor
don, samples of which are included.
They would have been far more in
teresting than the scraps of scattered
information to which alluSion is made
above, and which occupy probably i
third Of the space in the book.
The appearance of the volume is good
and it is remarkably free from me-
Chanical error. Errors Of fact are not
numerous. though this reviewer can
not say the same as regards the judg-
ments and conclusions Of he ia
thor in a numbe Of cases. That,
however, is a matter Of opinion. An
interesting error Of the other sort IS
made in the statement that IN 1880
Vermont was the only free State OF
Territory in the United states. But
errors of his kind can be overlooked
in the general worth of the book.
Has the author never heard Of the
Northwest Ordinance of 1857?
