referee in his decision.
Breen was fair all through, II we
can lose sight of the second round
when he should have declared the
fight in favor of Clark; but Clark
was a bit to blame there for the
reason that he was too game for the
caliber of a fighter that he went up
against.
Here is the fight by rounds:
Round One.
The men meet in the center of the
ring. Both shake hands; Allard
starts like a demon, and is met by
Clark. No blows are struck, but
Allard rushes for clinch. Clark
pushes him back and both men spar
for a moment. Allard leads with
his left. but Clark cleverly evades
him. Allard rushes again like a
madman and both men clinch all

fight like demons in the center of
the ring. The bell rings.
Round Two.
The two men spring from their
corners. Allard leads right hard
on Joe's jaw. Joe comes back with
right on stomach and left to jaw.
Allard runs to a clinch and rushes
Joe over the ropes. Allard seems
to know something about rushing,
but nothing about fighting. The
referee seems to be the hardest
working man in the ring. The two
men are parted and Allard like a
tiger jumps at Joe and hits him
fowl. The crowd howls. The
meanest fighting that has ever been
seen in the prize ring takes place,
and Allard tries to do everything
but fight and kick Joe holds him
off and the bell rings.
Round Three.
The two men come to the center
and the referee cautions Allard.
They spar for a moment and show
something that resembles a fight.
Clark hits with right to jaw.
Allard leads with left and misses by
mile. The two men start to fight.
Clark lands right and left from
every angle. Allard backs away,
and Clark rushes him to his corner.
Clark lands a shower of blows and
the hell rings
Round Four.
Clark jumps from his cornor as
fresh as a daisy. He rushes and
misses a right hand swing. Allard
clinches. The two men wrestle and
fight like demons. The referee
breaks them by mere force Allard
rushes with right and left swing,
but misses Joe by four feet. Joe
lands right to jaw and both clinch,
and again wrestle; both men going
clean over the ropes. They come
back and Joe starts after Allard.

Round Five.
Clark comes up smiling. The
look on Allard's face is beyond
description. 1t is do or die. Allard
rushes swinging right and left miss

his trouble with hard right to jaw.
Allard clinches and wrestles Joe to
floor, then jumps and strikes Joe
with both feet on the stomach.

CHURCH GETS
BISHOPS GREETING
Right Rev. John ]. Monaghan
0ffiClateS at Cathedral
POntifiCial Mass

The Feast Of the Circumcision, III
octave OF Christmas, and the New
Year, were observed at the Cathedral
yesterday. The Right Reverend John
J. Monaghan, Bishop of the Diocese,
was preacher and celebrant at ponti-
fical nigh mass at half past ten in
the morning. Pontifcal vespers were
held in the afternoon. The bishop
was assisted by the clergy of the Ca
thedral, the Rev. Father John J.
Dougherty, chancellor Of the diocese,
the Rev. Father Fromentin and the
Salesianum priests.
The pontificial mass was preceded
by a solemn procession Of the Bishop,
clergy and acolytes, and was cele-
brated with impressive ceremony.
The choir, trained by Father James
Grant. gave the Gregorian chants
with great beauty.
Bishop Monaghan wished his people
a Happy New Year. BY this he said
he meant a year that would be filled
with the true happiness of faithful
service to God. The Bishop said that
In the past year, all could remember
wasted time, time spent IN sin, time
ungratefully used against the God
Who gave It. He said that the time
left to all in which to amend their
life, was short at best, that many who
were at st. Peters on the preceding
New Year were no longer in their
places, and that the future was un-
certain for anyone. But although
there was uncertainty, and although
all had cause for contrition, yet ON
this New Years Day, he would have
them be confident about the future.
for God was present with them, and
would remain with them as long rs
they are true to Him.
And so the bishop wished each and
every one a Happy New Year.

Take Property Valued at S4OO
From John G. Hortmann'S
Residence

Early Saturday evening while Mr..
and Mrs John & <fiartmann. OF No.
ego n. Franklin street we're absent
from their home, thieves forced an en-
trance TO the house and secured loot
valued at S400 including diamonds,
and and other jewelry. two boxes. one
of iron containing many old gold coins
and family heirlooms, and the other in
the form Of a safe, containing about 81
in old coins.
The burglars walked out the front
door down Franklin street toward Del
aware avenue. They we're seen by b. S.
Hamilton, of No. 91S Franklin street.
He thought the two men were Mr..
Hartmann and friend and was about
to wish the former a Happy New
Year" when he found he had made a
mistake. Thinking that the men had
made a social call at the Hartmann
house Mr.. Hamilton thought no more
about the matter
About 1890 o'clock a watchman try
ing the front door found il open and
entered. Not receiving any response "a
his calls he ascended the stairs and
found confusion IN every room. The
watchman summoned the police and
then went for Mr.. Hartmann, who with
Mrs Hartmann were paying a call on
the latters mother at No. 1916 Tatnal
street.
The robbery was committed shortly
before 8 o'clock. The thieves prieC

under the improved methods, and It
has also permitted them to furnish to
their consumers a uniform quality Of
gas.
Resources of the company were tax
ed but not found wanting at the time
of the fire that crippled the electric
plant I'm Wilmington. Many mer-
chants in their anxiety to continue
business after their electric lighting
system had beer prostrated, turned
to the gas company with a request
for the installation of gas lights
While the company was flooded with
such requests, II accommodated all
who applied. So satisfactory were
the results obtained in vast num-
ber Of instances that the gas fixtures
remained in service after the electric
plant resumed operations.
Organization has been the keynote
OF the company. and in less than two
years so successful have been the
changes made that the ultimate re-
suits sought--lower rates and good
service-have been accomplished. BY
this means the company has not only
enjoyed the splendid Increase i'm busi-
ness. but has gained for itself the
confidence of the public. Only praises
forthe gas company are now heard.
The new rate will be in the nature
of a fifteen cent discount on the
charge per thousand feet Of gas con-
sumed. The bills will still be charged
at the rate of S110 per thousand. with
a fifteen cent reduction per thousand,
ii the bill is paid before the twelfth of
the month.
