nOverhandD Houses.

- By the year 1870 wooden chimneys
and log houses Of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
slightly houses Of two stories. which
were frequently built with the second
story jutting out foot or two over the
first and sometimes with the attic
story still further extending over the
second story. This "overhang" is pop
ularly supposed to have been built for
the purpose Of affording a convenient
shooting place from which to repel the
Indians. This is. however, an historic
fable. The overhanging second story
was a common form of building in
England in the time of Queen Eliza
beth, and the Massachusetts and Rhode
Island settlers simply and naturally
copied their old homes.

Turk who has never seen Europe. He
is wonderfully hospitable. amazingly
kind, essentially man of peace and a
fervent religionist. He is a Moslem,
has been reared in Moslemism and be-
lieves in his religion. He is honest
and straightforward in his business
dealings. and his word is his bond.

BERGER BEATS
HARRY RAMSEY
Local Boy Gets Worst Of
Fight at Phna

Philadelphia, May 2:-The wind
up at the American Athletic Club last
night came to a sudden ending at the
finish of the fourth round, when the
club physician ordered the bout stop
ped because Harry Ramsey, who had
been cut over the eye by Billy Ber-
ger, was in a serious condition, and
to allow the bout to continue might
prove dangerous to the Perth Am
boy middleweight.
The bout had been hard fought
with first one and then the other
taking the lead. There was no
science to the contest, each man try
Ing his hardest to stop the other, and
each fighting wildly, many blows go
ing wide of the mark and the men
pulling and mauling each other all
around the ring in their anxiety to
get the better OF it. In every round
they would go at each other like a
pair of wild bulls, running into close
quarters with their heads down.
They had only been fighting a few
seconds in the fourth round when
Berger cut Ramsey owe the eye and
the blood squirted from the wound
like water from q hydrant.
I Ramsey accused Berger of butting
him, and complained to Jack O'Brten,
who was refereeing the contest. But
O'Brien did not stop the bout then
and the men fought on. The blood
trickling into Ramsey's eyes blind
ed him and he could not see what he
was doing, neither could he see to
parry any of Berger's blows. The
result was that Berger got in some
telling punches and had Ramsey in
bad shape when the bell rang to end
the round. When the men went to
their corners O'Brien called the club
doctor to the ring and the latter said
that the bout must stop, although
Ramsey protested and wanted to con-
tinue.

NEXT ENTERTAINMENT, MAY I5

Members of the Lotus Club were
given a real surprise at the private
athletic entertainment in the Audi
terium last night. They naturally
expected to see a good show, but it
exceeded their expectations and
proved to be the best yet witnessed.
There was a heavyweight wrestling
contest and five excellent sparring
matches, all by members of the club.
In the main bout Al. McCloskey, of
Elizabeth, was put away by Jeff
Smith, of Bayonne, in the second
round. The match was scheduled to
go six, but Mac ~"sprained his ankle"
and had to desist. The contest was
lively while 1t lasted and both con-
testants we're loudly ~applauded by
the spectators.
The Semi-FinaI.
In the semi-fnal sparring match
Irish Maloney, of Newark, had the
advantage over Dave Hennesey, of
New Brunswick. Both boys gave an
excellent exhibition. The first round
was rather slow but in the second
there was fast boxing in which
Mahoney proved that he was more
scientific than his opponent. The
third round was without much ae-
ton but in the fourth Mahoney did
some fine work and won Iaurels over
the county seat lad. The members
cheered and a~pplauded both boxers
as they left the ring.
Kid Leary, of New Orleans, and
Babe Davis, Of Brooklyn, boxed
three rounds in one of the prelimi-
naries. Davis did fairly well but
Leary did not make much of a show
ing. George Monroe, who refereed
all Of the contests, had to caution
them several times for clinching
and wrestling.
ColOred Boxers Amuse.
Two ccfored boxers furnished
much amusement and we're the
comedy of the evening. The match
was scheduled to go three rounds,

latter took a nap.
Nifty Hudson, of Staten Island,
and Young Thomas, Of North Am
boy, spared three lively rounds.
Hudson proved that he was Smiths
master in the art OF boxing. The
members gave both a huge ovation
and Hudson was conceded the victor
of the contest.
AS the opening number Charley
Burkhardt and George Schnabel
wrestled for fifteen minutes. Both
were h~eavyweights and gave a good
exhibition, although neither nan
gained a fall in the allotted time.
Harry Ramsey to Appear.
The attendance Of members last
night was the largest " and the af-
fair was conducted in a strictly high
class manner. The management Of
the club is gratiffed over the inter-
est the members are taking In the
exhibitions and expect even a larger
turnout at the next entertainment,
which will be held on May Is. Ar
engagements are being made with
Harry Ramsey, of Philadelphia, to
appear at the next show. Ramsey,
who is really Harry Rasmussen, a
former local boy, is making a name
for himself in the boxing world and
is considered a contender for the
weller weight championship. He has
been in the game for two years and
has made an excellent record. Just
who Ramsey will meet has not as
yet been settled, but it may be Al.
Greenwood, of New York, who is
also after welter weight honors.
Greenwood was present last night
and received an introduction to the
members.
May Match Mccormick.
Tony Bender, a well known light
weight, was also introduced and will
appear at the club in the near future.
Among others introduced were
Young Mitchell, a Staten Island fav-
orite; Joe Allen, OF New York; and
Frank Mccormick, the clever boxer
of this city. who is willing to meet
either Ramsey or Greenwood.
