WOMEN AT PRIZE FIGHTS.
Enough to Make Their Grandmother.
Turn in Their Graves.

The open presence of women to the
number of 400 at prize fight in Phila
delphia will give critics of American
social tendencies something new to talk
about. Women watched the Jeffries-
johnson mill from private boxes. and
they have on numerous occasions wit
messed boxing bouts under conditions of
greater or less disguise.
But the fact for remark is the larger
proportion of women in the audience
which saw this exhibition of the manly
art, their representative character. and
avoidance of any attempt at concealment.
1t is doubtful if their mothers would have
gone to see a prize fight: it is certain
their grandmothers would not. They, of
course, lived before the day of feminine
devotion to athletic sports and before the
emancipation" of women had reached
its present completeness. 1t is painful
even to conjecture what one of the strait
laced aunts portrayed in Mr.. Owen Wis
ter's novels would have thought of such
a proceeding.
Under a perfect equality of the sexes
women should have the same right as
men to attend prize fights. subject to the
usual risks of a raid by a sheriff's posse
But it is to be feared that the general
public has not yet been educated UP to
this degree of feminine freedom Of con-
duct. 1t will regard it as curious that
the example should be set by the city of
Quaker traditions and not by Chicago or
Newport or Baltimore, where ladies wade
in fountains i'm the small hours-Ncw

several others which the complainant

down about his ankle and the money
was missing, along with $40 which he
had in his trousers pocket. and Mar
coux was not in the room. He went
on the street and found Officer Albert,
to whom he made his complaint. The
officer inquired and found that man
answering to the description of Mar
coux had been taken over to Winslow

Officer Proulx and the two went to
Winslow with the hack driver and
when they arrived at the house to
which the hack driver said he had tax

as it afterward proved to be, went out
the back door. into the arms of Ofilcer
Proulx.

ingness to come. When the party ar
rived on the Waterville side of the
river Officer Albert placed Marcoux uT-
der arrest. He will be given a hear
ing in police court Tuesday morning.
