BETTER UNDERToNE.
Pressure ReIaxes and the Downward
 Movement is Checked.

New York, Feb. 19.-Pressure on the stock market relaxed today and the downward movement was checked. T he undertone was distinctly better and at the close a number of the leading is sues had established net gains of one to two points. Early in the day, after a strong opening. bear traders made a drive at the market and succeeded in eliminating the gains which had been made and sending some stocks to, new low points for the movement The list offered better resistance than recent ly, however, and prices soon moved up again. Thereafter the market was fairly steady, with increasing strength toward the close.
 The change was to some extent a reflection of the improvement abroa d., the principal foreign markets exhibit ing a better tone. London cabled a opening here and later took about 10, 600 shares in this market. The bet ter feeling abroad apparently was due to some relaxation of the strain over the Eurorean and Mexican political situations. The chief source of strength here. however, lay in the size of the short interest. Covering Of short contracts was responsible for a brlsk demand for some of the speculative leaders. Steel WAS bought persfstently and there was a steady demand also for Reading and Union Pacific, which influenced the remainder Of the list: There was some further selling or minor stocks, but the declines were less severe than on recent days and had little influence on the market as a whole. Chesapeake and Ohio was sold in unusually large amounts and at one time showed 8 loss of over three ~oints The decline in Goodrich continued during the early part of the day. pulling it down to 40. but later il more than recovered it's loss.

Chicago. Feb. 1s.-More than 10000 people visited the national motorcycle show which has just closed after successful week in the Manufacturers Exhibition building.

 were 75 exhibitors, 24 of them showing motorcycles. There were @ number of bicycle displays. and fine showing of motorcycle and bicycle accessories of all descriptions.
 The growing popularity of the side car in motorcycling was one of the features demonstrated by the show A year ago there were but one or two side-cars shown The Chicago show displayed almost a dozen.
 All of. the motorcycle models showed the many refinements which, have add ed for 1913 a maximum of comfort and ease of control to the well established power, durability and reliability of the modern motorcycle.
 We felt reasonably sure of the sue cess of an exclusive motorcycle and bicycle show when we decided to stage the first one in Chicago. But the at 
 twice as large as we had expected : This is the way A. B. Coffman. chair man of the show committee, sizes up the situation.
 The Chicago motorcycle show offer ed to the public a full and comprehen- sive view of the great progress which has been made in this industry. The show was complete in every respect, was overwhelmingly successful and has set a high mark for future exhi- bitions
 Another thing. This show has given an opportunity, for the first time. to test the drawing power of mo- torcycles and bicycles. without the aid of their big brother, the automobile.
 Up to this time motorcycles have been a part of each automobile show and had the advantage of attracting part of the automobile crowds. The Chicago show has demonstrated that we can draw a crowd of our own, with the advantage that everyone who at tends is interested in what we have diSDi3Ved

NOTHING DOING AT
 BALTIC BOXING BOUTS.
Both Bouts Ended Prem aturely With
 Few Blows and LittIe Action.

The big crowd of fight fans, bugs. nuts or merely spectators which gath : cred at the Baltic hotel "Wednesday evening was disappointed in the bouts staged by the Sprague Athletic club. There were many Norwich enthusiasts at the ringside when Capt. Danny Murphy sounded the gong for the first bout scheduled for ten rounds be- tween Kid Wilkinson of Lowell, Mass, and Young Buster, the colored phenom from Providence. The bout was a pretty even affair with both boys land ing some hard blows during the first two sessions, but the go suddenly ter minated in the third round when the two men went through the ropes locked in a fond embrace, Wilizinson's s head striking the floor, with a thud. He was unable to continue, so the verdict was awarded Young Buster:
 The main bout was even more dis appointing than was the preliminary The bout scheduled for ten rounds be- tween Bill Collins of Westerly and K O. Palitz of New London went but three rounds. In the third round 2Pafftz struck Collins low winning the yociferous disapprovaI of the specta, tors. Collins continued the bout and at the end of the round there was considerable turmoil and discussion as to whether Collins had been fouIed or not When the gong sounded for the fourth round seconds and spectators were occupying the ring and although both principals said they were willing to continue the referee awarded the fight to PaIitz claiming that Collins had failed to respond to the gong. Just how Collins was to respond when the referee failed to clear the ring Of spectators, etc, the official failed to make clear.
 During the three rounds of the bout Palitz had rather the better of the going. He appeared in fine condition and showed good judgment of dis tance and plenty of speed.- Collins was wild. missing the majority of his swings This was Collins first bout since he was stabbed in the back sev- eral months ago and he hardly showed hi rIR fif,1a fnr

By cutting down the idle time of the track they enable the driver to cover 8 great mileage or make more trips in a day. This makes for economy of service by reducing the ton-mile or per pack age cost of haulage and delivery.
 It sometimes happens that the motor has to be primed on the road and there is nothing at hand with which to take the necessary gasoline from the tank There are a number of makeshffts, however. A rolled up handkerchief, a sponge on the end of string. or some waste will absorb gasoline and may be squeezed out over the cylinder pet cocks.

Plans for YaIe's Coliseum.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 19.-The committee of 21 Yale alumni which has charge of the plans and financing of the football coliseum has now under consideration an alternative plan which has been submitted to the en gineers. The alternative project, in place of a ''bowl'' below the surface of the ground, contemplates a coliseum, partly below the ground surface and partly a structure of steel and con crete, thus blending the idea of a bowl and a stadium.
 The engineers are expected before long to report upon both plans, each of which will cost about the same sum -$30O 900.
 Subscriptions thus far to the Yale field improvements under the football preferential ticket plan amount to about S225,000.
