Stage Another Exhibition
After January I.

Captain Mcmahon, chief of Rich
mond's detective bureau. who was an
interested spectator at the boxing ex-
hibition given BY George Herbert and
Mike Donaldson In their clubrooms at
Broad and Fourth Streets, told Herbert
yesterday that there was nothing OBJ
Jectionable in the four matches pulled
on and that the police would not In
terfere II the bouts of Friday night
were sample Of what would be Of
fered.
1t is now we'll known that at least
one OF the detectives on hand when
the club was opened stated that lac
had come up there for the specific pur-
pose OF making an arrest Nothing
wrong was witnessed. and no charge
could have been brought except that
OF disorderly conduct. However, II is
probable that the better judgment OF
captain McAlahon prevailed. and so no
warrants We're sworn out
It is indeed passing strange that go
innocent form of amusement brings
down upon the heads of those pro-
noting 1t the wrath of the police de-
partment. while many graver crimes
go unpublished. The very fact that
nearly 500 men gathered to witness
the exhibition is proof conclusive that
such exhibitions arc wanted. But the
800 who were on hand formed but
a small proportion of those who would
Ike to have been there. The capacity
of the place prevented more from at
