equalled beauty and color. Viscountess
Chinda was superbly gowned in white
satin embroidered in silver and trim

wife of the counselor of the embassy,
and Nine. Itamy, wife of the military
attache, also wore handsome gowns;
Mime. Miura's being of white satin

to an end last evening with dinner
given by the Ambassador and Wis
countess Chinda.

most of his time in New York these
days though the embassy remains Of

Of paddy RYAN
Popular Pugilist Would

On Monday
WAS FIGHTER
FROM TIPPERARY

Monday was the siXty-socond ami
vcrsary of the birth of Paddy Ryan,
the great Irish fighter. who was John
l.. Sullivan's predecessor as champion
OF America. Like most of the early
American champions, Paddy was born
under the British flag. The Irish
town of Thurlos, in County Tippcrary,
was the scene of Ryan's mundane
debut on March Is, 1858. He early
followed the tide of HiDernian cmi-
grafton to the New World and set
tied IN Troy, y. v. where IN his youth
he was employed as an ironworker.
The Collar City was ono OF the live
liest pugilistic towns on the map, and
the local fans still rcvcled i'm memor-
les of John G. lIeenan. John Nor
rissey, and other Troians who had
commenced their lighting careers in
the town ON the Hudson. Paddy soon
caught the fever. and by the time he
was twenty-five had made a fair rep
utatiOn as Il fighter.
AT the time the Trojan from Tip
perary began his ring career there
were several claimants to the Ameri-
can championship Joe GOss. an Eng
lishman. claimed the honor after de-
feating Tom Allen, another Britisher
in COyington, Ky, i'm 1876. A couple
of years later Jimmy Elliott annouu-
ccd himself as champion, but in 1875
! he was defeated by Johnny Dwycr
| The latter was soon stricken with
tuberculosis and did not survive lone
and Joe Goss was again recognized
as champion.
/ Goss was born in Wolverhampton
England and fought Jem Mace ant

forty-second year when he fought
