ANNIVERSARIES OF RING BATTLES

1896LPeter Maher knocked out Steve 5O'Donnell in 1st round at Coney. Island. The O'Donneu person was one of the Australian trnportations so and as he had a good ring record the fight fans who journeyed to Coney Island expected some excitement and a good run for their holiday money. The mighty Peter got in his fam ous punch soon after the bell rang, and 1t was all over. Steve had previously been whipped by Ma!her. and in two subsequent sessions Peter had all the best of the argument O'Donnell started fighting in Sydney, and came to America in 1893, when he fought draws with Frank Craig and George Godfrey. In 1895 he added to his reputation by knocking out the fa- nous Take Kilrain in the 21st round of 8. bout at Coney Island. After sew eral other victories he lost his first fight with Maher, and then went to London, where he knocked out Owen Sullivan. Upon his return he defeat ed Frank S1avin, another Australians and then tried Peter again. Later he knocked out Alex Greggains and fought a furious draw with Kid Me Coy, but he was knocked out and ter rfbIy punished by the Hoosier in 1S99 3, and soon quit the game.
 1885-Jimmy Gardner, middle weight boxer, born at LisdoonWarnas County Clare.
 1888-Peter Jackson Knocked out Joe McAuliffe in 24th round at San Francisco. The great Australian black had arrived in America only a short time before, and this was his second appearance in the American ring. His first victim was George Godfrey, "OId Chocolate.'' the Boston negro, and by whipping, McAu1iffe the Australian added to his 1aurels and loon1ed up as coming champion. John L. Sullivan, who had fought long draw with little Charlie Mitchell a few months before Peter crossed the Pacific, did not banker for the job of taGkling the big black fellow, and drew the color line. Joe Me AuIif6e was a good man, and had de- feated Paddy Ryan, the ex-champions but he was no match for Jackson. The latter, finding it impossible to get a match with Sullivan, fought few other second raters, and then proceed ed to England, where he defeated Jen Smith, the champion, and oth-# CTS, with the greatest ease. Upon his return to America in 1891 he got a match with Jim Corbett, and, all though Peter had been seriously in- tt1red in an accident 8, short time be- fore the bout, he held Gentleman Jim to draw in 61t rounds After that he went back. and in 1898 was easily defeated by Jeffries.
 1897-Joe Walcott and Tommy Tracey fought six-round draw Nat Chi cago.

Real Estate Dealers Object To Bouts In
 New York Armories

New York. Dec. 27-The granting of licenses to hold boxing contests ip state armories has aroused to action the real estate interests in New York Soon after Jan. there will be com nittee Of property owners in Albany to protest to Governor Whitman against the privileges about to be granted to the regimentaI athletic as- sociations.
 K The protest is to be backed up by sound business argument This committee will point. out to the gov ernor that the vested rights of the owners and lessees of large ball rooms and amusement arenas are being in- truded upon.
 we are heavily taxed, and in addf- ton the municipal governnne nent com pels us to pay large fees for licenses z argues the proprietor of a large arena to permit armory to rent out its drill room. and the armory. being a state institution. doesn't have to pay the state one cent of taxes.
 I've are making this protest bel cause if arnories are to be used for boxing there is nothing to stop a regi-. ment from renting the building for re- captions, athletic events of every kind, and even automobile and other big shows.
 If this comes to- pass buildings like Madison Square Garden and our largest ball rooms will go out of busi- ness"
 This property owner goes on to show how a regiment can give the use of it's armory for one night or even week for less than half of what it would cost to engage an in- door stadium or ball room anywhere else in New York.
 t.The afmories'' he continues,'' can underbid us at all times simply be- cause. they don't pay taxes and other assessments from which state building is exempt"

wholly faithless servant He did not
punish him-but even sent him of
after the girl! Excellency, my word
for it, he seemed to miss the girl as

Follow them then, Bartel. Follow
Roleau-if you can find him-he will
lead you to the girl, wherever she may
be. For myself, l cannot guess"
It was this counsel, followed dill
gently by the unhappy messenger of
Count Sachio, which resulted in a
quick shifting Of the forces of Kitty's
enemies. 1t was true Roleau had
gained access to point within sight
of Kitty's window, where still he
tried to be of aid to her-still hoped
she soon would be able to aid herself.
But here he was surprised by these
emissaries Of Count Sachio-it was
none less than the nobleman himself
who led the forces now.
Therefore when, after all her toll,
Kitty at length managed to make her
escape through the barred window, 1T
was but to find herself once more
once more prisoner
with her! The fact of captivity had
not changed-only the phases of cap
tivity. She and her ally had only ex-
captors. Who her last prison
guardian had been Kitty could not
tell. Now, without doubt, she was
once more to be subjected to the scant
courtesy OF the nobleman OF Grahof-
len.

These strange words suddenly
brought Kitty back to train o.
thought which for the time had beer
broken. She felt quickly at her bosom
and at her waist for the bit of coiI
which she had brought away from
Count Frederick's room. 1t was gone!
At some time during her journey from
Count Frederick's palace to this place
| long or short whether it had been,
taken from her.
Kitty sprang to the sill Of the little
window and peered out for an in
slant; but her hold was too feeble.
She sank back, not seeing what would
have given her great Joy to see.
Apparently some eye had caught
sight of her face, brief as had been its
appearance. In truth, Roleau, hound
like, had run his game to earth. 1t
was he who had caught sight of her
just for an instant. Later she heard
once more the tinkIing of some falling
object upon the floor She picked it
up-it was a substantial file, which
evidently had been flung through the
window by someone having the intent
to aid her. This thought gave her hope.
Almost as soon as she grasped 1t she
fell to work at the bars which had re-
strained her.
Meantime, at the scene from which
she had been so unceremoniously abb
stracted but now, Count Frederick re-
manned still bordering on the strange
events which had been brought home
SO close to him. He was too much
preoccupied In his concern over the
young woman's disappearance to note
carefully anything else that went on
about him. When one of his house
hold placed message in his hand. for
the time no gazed at 1t, scarce COM
pretending that it came from the roy

had found In his own room, the latter
