GOOD CARD FOR
 BOXING CARNIVAL
 MONDAY EVENING


 stBy this time next year expect to be the heather weight chanpion or so close to it that you will have to get opera glasses to see the differences. said Bobby Reynolds, the clever little rraiftster who is to battle Kid Kan sas, recent conqueror of Johnny Dun- dee, before the Liberty A. O. at the Casino on Monday night, last night while visiting some friends in town.
 Figbt fans today pricked up their ears when they learned of the money that is hanging on the result Of the Al Ketchel-Bunny Ford bout, which is slated as one Of the big features of the all-ten-round-b show. In ad- ditfon to the battle being on a wfn-' ner-taaxe-aH basis and the $1o0 side bet which each man has placed upon him. self, there has been a pool of several hundred dollars subscribed to back Ketchel, all of which was readily de- voured by the New Haven supporters of Ford.
 Kayo Pa1ifz of New London, a well known and able boxer. is to appear here again, this time meeting Chick West, the young Holyolxe lad who has yet to be stopped, in the semi final of ten rounds. The other bout will also be a. ten-found affair, bringing to- gether Teddy F'abryck of Fairfield and Kid Palmer of this city, two of the most popular boxers in the state

Realizing that he was not in condi- ton to give the club his best services
 at present, Chief Snyder, the veteran pitcher oflthe Bridgeport team. asked for his release yesterday. Manager Boultes let him go ditionally. T hate to see Snyder go.'' said the man ager. He was a faithful worker and when he was right could tWirl fine ball. Snyder was one of the original members of the club which Gene Mo Cam brought here in 1910. He was purchased from Rochester and to him fell the honor of twirIing the opening game that season. In the presence of over 1000 fans he whitewashed New Haven by 2 to O.
 For two years Snyder went along fine but since he wrenched his back while working at the p1umbing trade, he has not been able to get going He will rest for a short time and later will consider other offers. It is said that New Haven wants him. Snyder
 was always popular with local fans be- cause he hustled for victory all the time. They will regret to see him go. Manager Boultes also announced this morning that Second Baseman Richards has been sent back to Mon treal. He looked like fair played but was inclined to unsteady in fielding. Harry Aubrey, who wilAfreplace Rich ards at second, arrived yesterday and had 8 workout at Newfield park. He I is in fine condition and his work in practice was pleasing to Manager BouItes. Aubrey is an old timer so he will know what to do with the ball when he gets it.

ARE MEN OR WOMEN
 MORE FAITHFUL TO LOVE?

''To keep one sacred flame
 Through life unchiIled, unmoved:
 To love in wintry age the same
 As dfrst in youth we loved;
 To feel that we e4Gore to such fond ex-
 That, though the heart would break
 with more,
 It could not live with 1ess.''
 When T hear people speak of men being inconstant ever. to one girl con stant never. think it a. pity that they have no acquaintance with the noble men I have known. Men who admire too ardently on short acquaintance are few and far between. If you introduce a gentleman to a lady today ana a short while after ask each how they like the other, the woman will tell you frankly: ''I have met him so few times that really cannot form an opinion. He seems to be pleasant, therefore agreeable. But men have a habit of putting their best foot for ward when they are toeing the mark of first acquaintance" The man will tell you: -tShe is a beautiful girl, with a Charming personality, but be have not been thrown sufficiently in contact to determine each others dis position.''
 This conveys the idea that before they are willing to fall in love men re- quire som methinE more than beautiful face and beWitching manner. A; very youthful man might be caught by dash and glitter. The older man knows that it is Iilke the roth from schampagne-wlaen the bubble is blown off the wine is tasteless When the supply of brilliant small talk is ex- hausted a girl finds 1t difficult to be entertaining.
 The man of good Judgment wants a sensible young woman whose Judg- | ment, ready sympathy and good 1is- l tening qualities make her an agree l able companion at all times and un- der all circumstances. Esteem is the foundation Of his love. The oftener he meets such a woman, the more grate- fu1 he is for the privilege of her | friendship. When he is lonely he turns 1 to her for consolation as the sunhower
 turns to the sun. Slowly and by de- l grees comes the thought to him that a man would do well to rest his happi- ness in such fair hands.
 When this thought becomes fixed in his mind the lamp of love has been lighted in his heart; the steady flame i cannot be easily extinguished. If aught happens to part them, never
 again, Of his own voliticn, would he I fill her place. The hearts of women l are faithful in love, but their natures crave love fully returned. Of course, l there are others of the sex who, hav- ing known love, will never afterward
 consent to live without it. If the ob- 1 ject which inspires it is fclzle and I from them should go. they dry their Itears and look around fer some one i else to comfort them. You hear a great deal about men breaking Wo- l mems hearts but you seldom hear of the men who are martyrs on Loves 1 altar. It is easy to be faithful in love l if hearts are truly mated. Weighing 1 both sides carefully, faithfulness in 1 love is the nppermost trait in both
 sexes. Men hide this characteristic a little better.

Indeed, in his book. he thanks fortune for them. .I might have lived and died" he says, ttin that neat fools par adise of secure lavishness above there. I might never have realized the gather.

TO-DAYS POEM
THE cITY oF oTT1Es.

I saw the city's cupolas swim through the vapors of the blue; Its tall towers shone in the airy zone
 where the soaring sea-fow1 flew. Those feathery things on beating
 wings that ride the atmosphere, Went veering by with a startled cry
 at the spires encroaching near. For foIiate feet and parapet, gargoyle,
 arch and scroll, Hung floating there in the ambient air
 that streams from pole to pole. The town, the town, it is gazing down
 from the startled sky's abyss, And a. million feet are in the street
 where the trade tides roar and
 hiss.
 I feel the leap as my pulses sweep
 through my veins of Twin clay, For this is the dream my people
 dreamed before the break of
 dayl
 Before they broke through the woods
 of oak or fashioned the punch
 con beam; Or placed the stone for the wooden stills. my people dreamed the
 dreami
 And now I gaze through the misty
 maze at walls that comb the
 sky.
 In pink and green of a gauzy sheen.
 where the white-plunaed vapors
 fly.
 New York! She sips with her coral
 lips the wine of the Upper Air; Her white arms shoulder1ng back the
 stars that hutter round her hair. And we have worked what our faith
 CTS dreamed-ln the sweat of
 our flesh and bone. 'Tis we have buiIded their prophecy in
 gossamer stuff and stone -s And we who b1ilded this citadel in
 fabric Of brick and brass Shall build again for the city's Soul
 and the things that will not
 pass.
 Tn Babel the tongues were all con-
 fused; but that ancient curse Is And here have the scattered tribes of
 earth foregathered again as

 Out of all 1ands we lift our hands to s build with steam and fire; And towering vast we shall raise at
 last the City of Mans Desire. C. L. Edson.
