think Jeffries will rush and clean up
in two or three rounds"
mo, he won't. He'll feel out the
black fellow for seven or eight rounds,
taking a good beating in the mean
time. And as soon as he finds the ne
gro is becoming discouraged because
his punches are doing no damage, then
he'll sail in and finish things up"
why should he wait? Why should
he hold back and let the negro cut him
to pieces? All Jefferies has to do is to
stick out his chin, let Johnson drive
his hardest and when the champion
finds that the wickedest blow he has
in stock cannot down his opponent,
Johnson will be pie"
Nothing like that. Johnson is
too clever. He can stalk around for
an almost unlimited number of rounds
and it will simply resolve itself into
question OF endurance. II Jeffries
is there as he looks when he works,
there will be nothing to it. | figure
that under these conditions Johnson
will last about thirty rounds. "
These are some OF the observations
in the Jeffries camp today.
Johnson's Training Quarters, Rick s
Resort, Reno, New, June 29.-Opin-
ion is divided over Johns condition.
His followers say he is better than ever.
Others don't fancy his style Of work
and complain that he shows speed only
at intervals.
There it considerable truth in the lat
ter statement. When sparring John
son cuts loose only when stung by
one of his sparring partners. At other
times he is content to block and stop
punches.

estimating what would be the probable
condition of our finances at the close
of our fiscal year. A reference to that
statement will show that the estimated
receipts were given as approximately
1854, 800, and corresponding
amount of expenditures. No efforts
we're made to make these estimates
agree with what is now shown as the
exact figures, yet the auditors report
shows expenditures as being S1S4.
1874, or only $112.16 less. The
receipts were also near estimate; for
while about $4,000 in excess Of esti-
mates, yet we received $4,000 from
the Washington, Alexandria & Mt.
Vernon Ry. Co. for a quarters rent on
May 81, which we did not place in our
estimates, and also received $4,000
from police court fines greater than
we anticipated. This total Of $4,000
shows how we received $4,000 in
excess of our estimates, as a reference
to the statement to which | have re-
ferred will show.
Mr.. Uhler presented the reports OF
the clerk of gas, the superintendent Of
the gas works and the treasurer.
The total receipts from the gas works
was $44, 200 as against s43, $50 for the

amounted to $50, 1917. The net
profits were S14, 002.S3.

ton appropriating 500 to whitewash
the interior of the market building and
to make certain repairs in the country
market This was referred to the COM
missioners of the sinking fund.

to fine any one found conducting a
loan shark" business. He spoke in
favor of this, telling of letter in his

borrowed IS from loan shark and
had paid 81 per month in advance for
this sum for some months.
Mr. Birrell also introduced a resolu-
ton permitting the sale of perishable
goods, medicines, soda water etc. on
Sunday. Both OF these went. to the
committee on general laws.
Mr.. Uhler asked the chairman of the
street committee if his committee had
investigated the blocking of Mont
gomery and Fairfax streets by the
Old Dominion Glass Works.
Mr. Leadbeater thought the city was
not being harmed
Mr.. Uhler insisted that no one had
the right to build a fence and gate
across a city street and put np sign
no admittance.
The Chair thought the city might be
held responsible for any damage re-
sulting from the blocking of any OF the
streets and Mr.. Ltadbeater said his
committee would look further into the
matter.
Council then adjourned.

his calling to be hideous as in most

Gus mask covers his head, and wild

Is plentifully daubed over his body,

be wondered at that he strikes terror
into the maidens hearts as he dances
wildly in the dim freight, glaring at
them with fiendish eyes. The timid
young creatures are like the hare

Of prey flutters over its head Sell

playful, wilful child is transformed

a writer in the October Strand
Seven prominent members Of the
gentler sex are members of the New

dred more are qualified to handle
boats, from the motor and single sail
variety to fullsized yachts. The
seven New York Yacht Club men,
bers alluded TO are Mrs c. Oliver Ise-
lin, Miss Breese, Mrs. Alfalfa w. Thay-
err Mrs. II. d. Gibson, Mrs. Lucy
Carnegie, Mrs. George Lewis and
Mrs. Sarah Drexel Fells. There are
few amateur skipers, Of either sex,
who have Mrs. lsein's knowledge Of
the niceties of sailing. An enthusi.
ast Of the sport said in an interview
that IL was like tossing up a coin for
a decision to select the more capable
vachtswoman, the Princess Henry of
Battenbcrg. or Mrs. Isefn. and that
in his opinion, even If gallantry did
net suggest, truth would compel the
awarding of the honor to Mrs. Iselin.
