GOTHAM NEWS AND GOSSIP

New York, Nov. Seven though the
elections are over and everyone is
positive that his guess was right, no
one seemed to hit upon the prophecy
that Governor Glynn will come in for
the share of publicity that Messrs.
Sulzer and Henenssey monopolized
during the campaign. There seems to
be no let up in the troubles of Tam
many Hall. Governor Glynn, is pre-
pairing, it is understood, series OF
searching Investigations into various
State departments that will strain his
relations with Tammany Hall, II it
does not break them. He wants all OF

1t is is likely that the strike of the
mail chaufefurs may help to bring out
some much-to-be desired fact about the
auto mail-wagon service in this city.
1t has been claimed that the huge
mail trucks hurl themselves through
the city's streets regardless of life and
safety. Mayor Kline has recommend
ed to the Board of Aldermen that the
city ordinances be amended to take
the mail wagons out of the fire and
police apparatus class and put them
under reasonable restriction. The
chauffeurs claim that they are forced
to speed the wagons because, even
with the utmost haste, they can finish
their days work in less than twelve
or fifteen hours.
No matter how hard that part of

occupied with the Fourth of July,
baseball and other things associated
with summer, patient fingers in the
far-away land have been busy fabricat-
ing the charming nothings which will
delight American children under the
glamour of the Christmas tree. And
now the fruit of their toll and ingenu.
ity is beginning to pass through the
custom houses in huge cargoes,
which will soon be distributed among
the toy stores and thence pass into
the possession of eager little ones in

Rivers has shown class on a few oc.

over Brown was clean cut, although II

ninth round that unsettled Brown, ana

match with the o.iect Of signing the
two. He tried to hit upon an agree.

hours before the mill. Nolan. OF

lie would be sadly handicapped. as
Packey would enter the ring weigh
ing close to 40.
One thing that has developed from
the feeling around for the match is
that Packey Mcfarland is not a light
weight. Packey admitted that he
cannot make 1913 ringside or at any
not make ringside weight for n
boxer unles the balance reads around
40. He says he does not have to
box any more and that the worry of
making weight is becoming too much
Of an oppression for him to try. He
adds that he would like to meet Rit-
chic. but the match would have to
be made at catch weights to Interest
him.
Mcfarland and Richie would put
up an interesting argument were they
ever to battle. Both men are excep-
tionally clever. with Packey the better
versed in ring tactics and Richie the
stronger of the two and the harder
hitter. Richie would have a hard
time solving Packey's offense and get

jabs, but II he eve did master that
defense he would have an easy time
