County Commissioner A. Davidson
returned the latter part of the week
from two weeks pleasure and busi-
ness trip to Chicago and Fort Wayne,
Ind. The business transaction was
the shipment and disposal of a num-
Der of cars of sheep and the Judge,
as he is popularity known here, was
not aware Of the pleasant surprise,
socially, that awaited him in the
Windy City. A party of four Scots
from his own province in Scotland
who have been touring the United
States for the past eleven weeks,
familiariZing themselves with con-
ditions in America, ran across him at
the Saratoga Hotel and Il very happy
meeting followed. One of the party,
Andrew Peet, al authority OH agri.
culture and sheepraising in Bobbie
Burns country, had not seen Mr..
Davidson for thirty years and al
though Father Time had sifted some
snow in the hair and whiskers of each
of the men, there was immediate and
joyful recognition. The return of the
party to New York on schedule time,
to take an outgoing steamer home,
necessarily made the visit brief. Mr..
Davidson also visited the Gilly Bros, :,
at Fort Wayne, for a couple of days.
The Judge returned home much re-
freshed by this reviewing of the good
old days.

CAPTURES
GRAND AMERICAN
HANDICAP SHOOT
CHICAGO. Jan. 26

CHICAGO. Jan. 26.
~v HE grand American handicap, the
premier event In the t~rap-shoot-
Ing world, will not be held in
Chicago this coming summer. as was
generally supposed would be the case.
Word was received yesterday from
Elmer Shaner. secretary of the Inter-
state Association, to the effect that Co
lumbus, o., had been the successful
bidder, and. consequently. the stars OF
the trap world will go to the Ohio capt.
tai to settle the question of amateur
supremacy for tho present year.
Shortly after the notice of the award
ing of the grand American to Columbus
the local officials announced that the
grand Chicago handicap. which carries
with 1t the possession OF the Judge Rim
aker trophy, would be moved up, so
that the date c<nes shortly before the
gathering at Columbus.
The dates of the grand American are
still In doubt, but will most likely be
held during the third week of June.

|NNE OF Newark's most promising
~ young boxers Is Irish Mahop
known In private life as John
Mahon. Many critics In this city and
other towns are raving over the young
wonder. and the wise men of the game
are placing him ON the pedestal with
the best in his class.
Mahon has beer fighting but a year.
and during this short time has been
among the top-notch preliminary fight
ers. He weighs Ill pounds and has
just passed the age Of 10. He has
figured in Q thirty battles, nearly
all of which resulted in victories.
Benny Miller, the well-knoWn referee,
is managing the boy. and declares he
is the "Billiken" Of the ''paperweight"
class, and a glance along his records
goes to show that Mahon has really
been.
Mahon first carved his way into
prominence at Gus Troxler's Central
Institute, on South Broad street. in a
fight with Jim McVeigh, which resulted
in a draw. Mahon had Just arrived In
this city from Jersey city, where he
was born. A week later he was given
another chance at McVeigh and sur
prised many by stopping his opponent
in the second round. 1t was not until
lately, however, that Mahon has been
noticed. Strong physically. a clever
man, and there with a wallop, he soon
fought his way to the front.
Among the many prominent mitt
artists that Mahon has knocked out is
libby Watson. who fought such we'll
known lads as frankie Burns and
Johnny Coulon; Mike Dunn, Matty Nc
Donald and Sandy Sullivan were all
disposed of by this little pugilist. Joe
Sanders and Sam Salisbury also have
met defeat at the hands OF Mahon.
Irish Is one of the quietest and
coolest youngsters in the game. He
never loses his head and nearly always
wears a smile and, as a puncher for his
weight-weii. mis- equal has seldom been
seen in these paris,

With AL. M'CLOSKEY

Andreach and Sieger
Draw.

TOE STEIN. of New York and All Nc
Closkey. in turns. fought each other
y to a standstill In the star bout of
the Proctor A. C. show at Remer's
Hall last night. McCloskey had a lead
of about a mile in weight. Weighing
around 165 pounds, while the New
Yorker weighed no more than las
pounds at the most.
McCloskey landed with his vicious
left on two or three occasions and when
he did connect with Stein he shook up
the clever New Yorker. Stein was wise
to tho kick McCloskey has in his left
paw" and he Warded 1t off most OF
the time. but through sheer strength
and weight McCloskey, succeeded In
getting 1t over a couple of times. Stein
used his right arm to block his oppon-
ent's left and worked a left Jab with
telling effect.
In the first round they squared off
and spared for three minutes. Stein
getting in a couple of right jabs. Nc
Closkey started off strongly IN the sec
ond and landed u solid left to Stems
Jaw, and Joe covered up. He picked
off some pretty lefts. but did little ag
gressive work In this round.

he got in q couple of left uppercuts and
had McCloskey stalling. In the fourth
Stein lost his goat" and claimed that
the Elizabeth boy was biting. He made
q pass at McCloskey after the bell rang
and was roundly Kissed.
The fifth was the best round OF the
fight. McCloskey landed right and left
to the jaw and Stein held on for a
minute, but came strong toward the
close and swung hard to his opponents
jaw and McCloskey stumbled to his COR
ner at the bell. The final round was
even.
The best bout Of the night was a
corking good draw between Tommy An
breach, the local boy, and Young Joe
Sieger. Andreach did most of the ag-
gressive work during the early rounds,
and In the fourth had Sleger bleeding
from the nose from a vicious slam.
SieGer appeared to be weakening in this
round, but came back strong in the
fifth and had Andreach on the run.
The best of the prelimlnaries was a
four-round bout between Young Austin
and Young Spellman, the latter d
dusky youth, who was fighting his first
ring battle. He was outweighed, but
clearly earned a draw with Austin, who
had previously started a bout with
Young Christie, but after knocking his
man down during tho first minute the
bout was stopped. Jack Diamond and
Kid Jackson had a gruelling match,
which was won by Diamond, and Kid
Beeb stopped Young Hamilton in two
rounds. Young sayres was too clever
for Young Quinn IN their four-round
bout.

will meet Jack Denning. of New York.

waiting for some time for the doors

There were thousands of bargains to
be secured and the economic buyers
were not slow to take advantage OF
them.
The goods were arranged so they
could be essen and examined, and ev-
erything was marked in plain figures,
which greatly facilitated the shoppers.
A large number of extra salespeople
had been employed, and yet the crowd
was so great it was frequently neces-
sary to wait for some time before
being waited upon.
If the first day of the sale is an in
dex to that which will follow, 1t will
be one of the banner special sales
ever held in Bryan.
The sale will continue for nine more
days, and Mr.. Wilson extends an in
