about $4,000. Only a few Of the
twenty dollar seats are still va
cant. The sun began to beat down
hotly and all danger OF rain seems
past.
Ringside box seats sold for $25,

the racing at the conclusion Of the
fight.
The ring was 18 feet inside the
ropes. The platform measured 20
feet. 1t was of strong construc-
ton, being strongly braced be-
meath to withstand the weight OF

ably the largest man who ever en-
tered the prize ring for q cham

TROOPS ARE LANDED
Squabble Among the United
Forces Hinted at in a
Turkish Newspaper

Berlin, April 5.-(By wireless to Say.
ville)-Included in the reports given
out today by the Overseas News
agency is the following:
Dispatches received in Berlin from
Constantinople say there has been
no change in the Dardanelles situa-
ton.
THE Russian fleet, after It's opera
tions before the Bosphorus, undertook
March 30 further attack on Eregli,
ia Black sea port in Asia Minor. A
total Of 1000 shots were fred. Nine
barges In the port were sunk and four
houses on shore were damaged. There
were no casualties and coal Is coming
from Eregli as usual. A Russian avi-
ator was driven OF BY fire from the
shore. The Russian fleet retired at
noon.
"A message received here from
Athens estimates at over 10000 the
number of Anglo-French troops which
have been landed on the island Of
Lemnos near the entrance to the Oar
danelles.
"An article appearing in the Tanin
OF Constantinople expresses the idea
that insomuch as the English will not
be able to reach Constantinople before
the Russians get there, the former in
tend to occupy the islands 1T the en-
trance to the Dardanelles. positions
from which 1t would be possible to
checkmate Russia in the future"
A council Of war was held by the
British and French admirals, the Ath-
ems dispatch continues, decided to
postpone the attempts to force the
Dardanelles on account Of the insult
ficient strength Of the. landing expe-
dition.
