FIGHT WAS A DRAW.
K. o. Browns Blows Lacked Force of
 WoIgast's.

Philadelphia, Feb. 8.-Ad Wolgast, lightweight champion of the world. and Knockout Brown of New York. fought a hard six-round draw before the Am erican Athletic club in this city to- night.
 Although the New Yorker had a slight advantage in majority of the rounds his blows lacked force com pared with those of the champion. Wolgast seemed unable to fathom the peculiar style of Brown and the latter many times landed on Wolgasts head and body without a ret,frn Wolgast tried all the tricks of the trade to reach his opponent, rushing and rough ing to such an extent that he was warned by the referee on two occa- sions.
 Brown never fought better in all his career while the showing of the champion, especially in the early rounds. was a. disappointment As Woigast became more accustomed to Browns style he fought in much better form.
 Digger Stanley, champion bantam weight of England, was defeated by Tommy O'Toole of this city; Joe Jean netts had the advantage over Jim Barry and Jimmy Carroll of California outpointed Young O'Leary of New York in the preliminaries.

PUTNAM
(Contirsied From Page T Two.

asked by the chairman of the legisfa tive committee of. f.the railway employees of Connecticut why do the business men favor a public utilities commission rather than a court of commerce.. He dwelt upon this at some length and gave as his principal reason that the courts will not allow a court to do ad- mfnistrative or legislative acts to that extent, as they nave no constitutlonal right for instance, to order an inn proved controlling block system, such as might have avoided the recent wreck at Bolton; or to order greater clearance room under overhead con structions, or do any other act to pre- vent accidents. Courts can. only give relief in two ways. that is, by award ing damages after the accident has oc- cured, and by granting an injunction where the danger amounts, to a nuis- ance.
 He then took up several articles of the proposed bill and discussed them separately, laying good deal of em phasis on the need of the state in general of a meter inspector. The pro- posed commission is to consist of five men, but in all probability that will be reduced to three, who will probably hold office for five years, and draw a salary equal to that now paid to the judges of the superior court, and to be appointed by the governor.
 Advantage of Change.
 MT. Allen thought that it was abso- lutely necessary to pay as much as our judges receive in order to insure ob- taining efficient and able men. and that by leaving the appointments with the governor instead of to the lagfsla- ture, or to popular. election, we will largely get the commission out of poli- tics and have some one man to lay the blame to if a poor appointment is made.
 The powers Of the commission will be largely confined to two lines of ac- .tion; ffrst reducing and fixing 8 rea- sona!ble rate for the service rendered. taking into consideration all the cir cumstances, and, second, to improve the service by enforcing alterations in equipment. etc.
 Discussion Followed.
 Mr. Allen closed his talk by several illustrations of corporations having a large amount of watered stock, on which dividends must be paid before the service can be improved or the rates lowered. Many of those present questioned MT. Allen on various phases i. of the proposed law, and the discussion finally drifted into the question of rates and prices of gas and electricity throughout the state.
 A cordial vote of thanks was tender ed MT, Allen.

America has produced number of great runners, but among the runners and sporting men in general who knew him l.. E. Myers is still looked upon as the greatest runner at his distances that ever wore a spiked shoe
 John D. Nolan of Taftville tells an amusing story of how he first met Myers:
 'In the autumn of 1882 received an invitation from cousin in Naw York city to pay him visit. I was a crank on running at that time, and had won a few races at different distances and my whole ambition was to get to New York or Philadelphia, where the run ming game was then booming and be- come a professional runner.
 F 50 I gladly accepted the invitation and started at once for New York. On the day following my arrival there 1 asked my cousin where could find track on which to have a practice spin and he directed me to go up to Eighty fourth street and Eighth ave- nue, to the Manhattan Athletic club grounds, which were then the finest in the country. arrived at the grounds at about o'clock D. m. and finding the gate open entered. The place was deserted, with the exception of a young man who was leaning against the railing that enclosed the track smoking a cigarette. He greeted me pleasantly and asked if was going out for spin. I replied in the affirm ative. and he said: Why don't you wait for Tom and Lon? They will be here soon.' I had no more idea of who Tom and Lon were than the man in the moon. but decided to wait. A few minutes later a stocky, well built young man entered the grounds and proceeded to the dressing room where he began to prepare for the track. I also entered and he asked: Ara !, us?' I replied: I think will, thank you.; and at once began to dress. At that time I was about eighteen years of age, could run a half mile in 2.10 and thought myself a star. When we had finished dressing, Tom Gas the acquaintance) and I strolled out on the track and began warming up. We had been on the track about five min- utes when we were joined by q very shm-built, dark-complexioned young man who glanced At me curiously and remarked to my companion: I'm a little late, Tom; have I kept you wait ing long? Only a few minutes said Tom. and after the newcomer had warmed up. we lined up at the start ing post.
