been taken by W. J. Wagner.
Wagner, it will be remembered. was

two will be introduced in March. The
first is a new town car 1t will be
practically the same mechanically as
the present town ear. but with a

wheel base it was not possible to have
as great passenger capacity as on the
longer base contemplated
The other new models are a Big
Four and a Light Six The Big six,
the Six Sixty, the Little Four and the
Four Thirty have proved themselves
splendid touring models. showing both
speed and endurance, and creditable
service vehicles during the last three
years The need for a Big Four and
a Light Six TO complete the line has
been evident to the Palmer & Singer
company for some time. They are now
being road tested and will be market
ed in March

Every Irish society in the city was

There was a common sentiment to start
a new era of st. Patricks day celebra-

the numerical strength of the Irish in

COULON KNOCKS OUT KENOR|CKIN
18TH. ROUND At NEW ORLEANS
Chicago Bantamweigh Floors Foe Twice in Last Period
and Referee Stops Go.

New Orleans. La, March Johnny
Coulon, the cyclone of Chicago, was
again successful yesterday afternoon
in his twenty round fight with Jim
Kenrick. the British bantamweight, be-
fore the West Side Athletic club. The
result was practically a knockout in
the nineteenth round, for after taking
the count of nine twice the game Eng
lishman tried to face and music and
staggered against the ropes unable to
resist and almost blind from closed
eyes and chopped face. Referee Wallace
Wood stepped in before Coulon could
put in the final punch and the fight
was given to the Chicagoan.s Kenrick
was too groggy to stand and tap
would have put him to sleep-so popu-
larly speaking, the fight was knock
out.
Coulon was given an ovation by the
crowd, which was the largest which
has witnessed a mill here since the
Corbett-Sullivan match. He was car
ried on the shoulders of his hackers
from the ringside to his dressing room
and his father and hacker who had
won Dave PLIERS $1,000 bet on Ken
rick covered his face with kisses amid
the deafening cheers of the spectators
Kenrick shook hands with the victor
and confessed that he had met his mas
ter in ring generalship. The crowd
cheered the Britisher for his game
ness and hundreds pressed to he ring
side to shake his hands
Old timers said 1t was the fastest
fight they had ever seen and equal &c
anything the big fellows ever put uI
in their championship battles at New
Orleans. Sports were here from al

showed marvellous recuperative powers,
even in the nineteenth, when 1t looked
as though he was all IN. Coulon beat
his antagonist down with a perfect
rain of blows which grew stronger and
more steamy as the fight progress sed.
From the first he played for the stom-
ach and the wind and 1t was the series
of heavy body jolts which won him the
contest. Both were clever duckers, and
that Coulon came off without a scratch
was due to his skill In evading Ken
rick's swings, which were often vicious.
Kenricks face looked as If he had
been up against buzz saw. Both eyes
were almost closed and his lips were
puffed Blood flowed from his face at
the end of every round after the ST

teenth he was a badly battered speci-
