of New York. at the National Sporting
Club last night
Smith surprised everybody, Brown
most Of all, by his great clever
ness and gameness. and his margin Of
victory was wide enough to silence
even Browns supporters
Browns work appeared so crude BY

away without doing any damage
Smiths fOOtwork keeping him out Of
danger
Smiths best offense was his upper
cutting, which so baffied Knockout
that he lost the combination entirely.

work is being rushed and the work
OF laying the cement will be completed
before the arrival OF cold weather.
The contractors have been favored

are making good progress. The front
Of the building will not be faced with
brick as was specified in the plans
but will be faced with red sandstone.
This is due 10 the fact that it is inn
possible to secure bricks in time.
However. it is thought that a sand
