were taken OF the bout at COlma be
tween Jimmy Britt and Battling Mel
son, and they probably mark the high
water mark for receipts, so far al
actual money spent by the public il
concerned. The receipts for ,hese
! pictures came to something like $3.50,
900, and as the promoter and two
1 principals were equally interested IL
/ Cali readily be understood that de.
partment of the game meant more to
them than the actual fight itself. The
, only fight to compare with Britt and
Nelson was the Jeffries-Johnson bout
at Reno-the one that I'm reality caus-
ed the legislation in various cities and
the recent shutting off of transporta-
ton from State to State.
From the standpoint of the fight
ers, there was never more money
paid for this privilege, and as the
men who secured the right say they
more than broke even, It is safe to
say the public spent q world of money
to watch the films.
1t was competition among the NOV
ing picture people that put up the
price. Jeffries received $66,666 for
hts one-third interest; Johnson took
$4,000 for his third, and Jack Glea-
son sold his one-sixth for $50, 1893. That
made practically $4,000 paid for
five-sixths of the pictures, Tex Rick
ard, the other promoter, retaining his
share ~

Agitation came about chiefly be-
cause c0lered man won the cham
pionship and also because OF the
prominence the match attained. A
storm of disapproval caused many
cities to enact ordinances that pro-
hibited absolutely the display of NOV
ing pictures of fights, and that in no
small way decreased the revenues.

same agitation has been responsible
for the recent work of,.tha CnnGresss.
men The report that johnson was
TO fight Jim Flynn In New Mexico
was the signal for the introduction OF
the bin. and it apparently met with
no opposition.
Save for that one isolated case,
there has been no big money for
promoters and fighters during recent
years.
The. second Cans and Nelson fight
pictures returned profit of about
$4,000, while the Ketchel and John
son pictures enriched their owners to
the extent Of $4,000.
The last pictures taken in San
francisco were of Moran and VOL

In spite of the sensational ending
of the Wolgast-Rivers match, it is not
that McCarey and Tom

would have been no demand for the .

Granting that the commercial value

champions. Unquestionably. men like

FOSTERS WEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Sept 21.-Last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross continent September 26 to 80,
warm wave 25th to 10Th, cool wave
18th to October 2. Unusually cool
weather is expected to be a part of
this disturbance and killing frosts
may reach northern edges of the cot
ton belt. A severe cool wave is ex.
pected to drift in from the northwest
not far from September % and each
cool wave following will bring much
cooler weather till near October 8,
causing temperatures to average I'M
usually low from near September %
to near October 5.
Our forecast of unusually severe
storms in many places all around the
earth, August 26 to 81. was a great
success for these forecasts, but the
storm forces were so great that they
threw our temperature lines off, caus-
les wall weather HTSl week OF sep
TENDER where we had predicted cool
weather Our forecasts of these great
storms, that caused the loss of $4,000
human lives, were based on the rela-
tive positions of the great planets
Jupiter and Saturn.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about October 8, cross Pacific
slope by close of 4th, great central
valleys 9TH to 7th, eastern sections
Sth. Warm wave will reach Pacific
slope about October 8, great central
valleys 9Th, eastern sections 7th. Cool
wave will cross Pacific slope about
October 6. great central valleys Sth.
eastern sections 10th.
This disturbance will bring a small
rise in temperatures, but at no time
will high temperatures prevail. Not
much rain is expected with this dis
turbance. Weather will be generally
quiet but will become more disturbed
about October s, as this disturbance
enters the eastern states and one pre-
ceding enters the Pacific slope.

Walter j. Coulter, who has been alb
sent from the city for three and one
half months touring Europe with a
party of friends, returned home last
night He left the party in London
and returned by he American line,
embarking at Southampton on the st.
Paul and landing in New York. The
party was composed of Miss Mary
Ross Parker Of Bryan, Miss Carolyn
Gididngs OF Brennan, Tom and Miss
Mary Watt Knight of Dallas, Miss
Mary Smith and Lonnie Mexican of
Austin. They took the Cunard line at
New York landing in Naples, thence
to Rome, Vienna, Paris, Amsterdam,
London, and motored one month in
Switzerland, encountering sleet and
snow storms in July when everyone
in Bryan was sweltering in the heat.
They then returned to London, where
Mr.. Coulter left the party, which will
follow in about ten days.
Mr.. Coulter reports a grand time
and has gained twenty pounds in
weight during his absence. While
away he studied the styles in Paris
and other foreign points, also visiting
the market centers in the East after
his return, where he was prepared to
pick the latest styles at the best
prices for the fall trade. He stopped
over in New York, also a couple of
days in st. Louis, and then came on
to his home in this city and says he
is glad to be back.

which date the average temperatures

During that week a great group of

About that time great disturbances
are expected on many parts of the
earth, including hurricane in the

our northwest and other severe
weather features on this continent.
Frosts will go very far south. We are
not. yet able to give details of these
great disturbances and about all we
can safely say is to be on the lookout
for whatever may come.
The past crop season was unusual.

soil in most places and that moisture
remained in the soil throughout the
season. In one-third of the country
east OF the Rockies the rainfall was
deficient SO per cent, but throughout
the drouths the soil remained damp
and grain kept good color 1t was a
clear case of deficiency of evaporation
that saved the crops. Evaporation is
usually small in Canada and large in
the states. We have not yet learned
how to forecast evaporation of mois.
