building and Coliseum Annex was
taken long ago by forty-fOur manu-
facturers, and the armory, which
was not used during the second
week of last winters show, has been
divided among thirty makers.
Thirty-three Of the companies that
will show commercial cars this win
ter were not seen at Chicago last
February, and most of these are
new to the public. never having
made displays at any show. Among
the late applications for space are
nearly dozen companies whose

sons in close touch with the trade,
SO rapid is the development of the

New York, December 27.-Carl Nor
ris, the Oklahoma heavyweight, and
Tom Kennedy, whose ten round bout
was set some weeks ago but post
pOned, will meet tonight. The pride
of Sapulpa" has been training like a
Trojan and looks fit for the fight of
his life, and in Kennedy he will need
all the cleyernesS he has gained in
the past few months.
Morris was Il laughing stock for a
time after his fight with Jim Flynn,
but he showed on that occasion that
he was full of grit and had plenty
of endurance, and with proper han
ding he may yet develop into the most
formidable of the white hopes. Re-
Gently Morris won an easy victory
over Al Williams, the western heavy
weight, and has met and defeated
several other heavies since the Flynn
fight. If he wins over Kennedy to-
night Morris will be taken seriously
aud he may be matched with Al
kaufman.
kaufman is matched to meet Al
Palzer at the National club tomorrow
night and if he wins will take on
Fireman Flynn. Kaufman is now
coming along strong but he will have
his work cut out for him tomorrow
night.
Palzer, like Morris, is western
rube," and has advanced faster than
any other heavyweight that has ever
been before the sporting public. A
year ago Palzer was farmers boy
engaged in shucking pumpkins, herd.
ing the chickens and such jobs on
his fathers farm in Iowa. If Morris
should win tonight and Palzer gain
victory tomorrow night a match
between the two will probably be
forthcoming.

Chicago, December 27.-The new

The average price" of Christmas
gifts was far above that of five years
ago for the trifles were priced at
figures in some stores which dis

are expected to take effect early
in January.
Changes have already been made
