 Roxbury, Nov 10-At the auction held yesterday at the home of. John Winters the mystery of the steel and concrete oven near the fire place was disclosed. An old man who lived here sixty-fiye years ago, on a visit from Ohio recalled that the struc- ture was built by Captain Lathrop who was, a prosperous hat manufae- turer of those days and had a safe built into the house for the protec- ton of his -ya1uables and papers. 3 The hating industry left tf1es towns and after Captain Lathrop's death the property passed into other hands un- til even the memory of the. house and it's owner was lost. Since the days of its usefulness were over it has served as a, Convenient and safe closet to store, ginger snaps and pumpkin pies from the proving boys of the families who have since occupied its But the puzzle of two generations in Roxbury is solved.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

19O3-Jimmy Britt defeated Char lie Sieger in 20 rounds at San Fran cisco. This contest was said to be for the lightweight championship Of the civilized world, a title claimed by James Edward after he had whipped Frank Erne, although Joe Cans had defeated the Buffalo boy before the Native Son got a Whack at him. Sic ger had twice been defeated by the Baltimore negro the previous year, so Britt's victory wasn't anything to boast of. Sieger was a fairly good scrapper. but he was defeated by Young Corbett, Elbows McFadden and several [ others, besides Brftt and Cans. Britt's claim to the title at the time he fought Sieger was based on make the weight. Joe demonstrated that he could do it, however, and in 1904 he met Jimmy in San Francis co and won on a foul.
 1902@Jack Root defeated Marvin Hart in rounds at Chicago.
 1905-Eddie Hanlon and AureIio Herrera fought 20 round draw at Los Angeles.
 1911-Dixie Kid knocked out John ny Summers in second round at Liv- erpool Eng. This battle was the American negro's last victory over a good man, for, although he has
 
 umphed only over third-daters. Sum mers had been. knocked out only once before in his long. career. Dixie Kid, who held the welterweight title for a time after winning from Joe Walcott in 1904, was born in Fulton. Mo-, and his real monaker is Aaron Brown. He has been fighting about IT years. Dixie was practically unknown when he got into the -limel1ght II years ago by whipping Joe Walcott. In a return match the Barbados Demon held him to a 20-round draw, and Dixfe's claim to the title was ignored by many sports after that, although he was probably the best hnan of his weight until 1908. In 1909 the Kid was knocked out by Sam Langford, and Than" repeated the trick the following year. In 1911 Dixie went abroad, and knocked out Georges Carpenter iIi France and Summers in England, but lost his 1aure1s by de- feats from Dan Flynn, Jack Morris, Marcel Thomas and others.
 19O3-Tommy Mowatt defeated Mike Memsic in two rounds at Chi cago.
 1eo4-Martin Canole and Jimmy Briggs fought 12-round draw at New Bedford.

HISTORIC ST. PATRICK's DAY.

On March II, 1776, the British Forces
Evacuated the City Of Boston.
Boston has large percentage OF
Irish American residents. who have
double reason for celebra ting March
II. Not only is 1t the day of the patron
saint of Ireland. but 1t is also the an
niversary OF the evacuation Of Boston
by the British soldiers In 1916
Here Is the story of the historic
St Patrick's day as told in the diary
Of Timothy Newell. selectman OF
Boston:
nth. Lords day. This morning. at
3 o'clock, the British troops began to
move. They all embarked about

Of Providence, relieved from set OF
men whose unparalleled wickedness,
profanity, debauchery and cruelty is
inexpressible. enduring a siege from
10th April. ITS. to 18th March, 1778"
The diary says also:
1.-THE general immediately ordered a
detachment Of 1000 troops under Gen.
eral Putnam to occupy the town. and
who the next day began their works
In terrifying Fort hill.
"A number Of loaded shells with
trains of powder. covered with straw.

The legend has II that St Patrick
implored the Lord to remove the en-
trance to purgatory to Ireland so that
doubters might believe In the immof
tality Of the soul and the punishment
which awaits the goddess after death
God granted the saints petition. and
the cave on Irish Kiltra became hence.
forth. as believed by thousands, the
entrance to purgatory.
However the story originated, it is a
sufficient guarantee that ST. Patrick
was closely identified with the island
and the cave. The place was regarded
as holy from time immemorial and is
still SO regarded by many. For cen
turtles pious monks guarded the en-.
trance to the cave. and during the mid.
die ages great numbers focked to the
place from all parts of Europe. An.
nual professions were made to the sa-
cred locality within recent years and
are probably not discontinued even up
to the present.
