The two battles at the Airdome
were entertaining in more than one
way. bur as ! viewed the first event
from a spectators seat can only
speak Of it from that point Of view.
This contest was really laughable
and undoubtedly vas confusing TO the
referee as to whether he vas Iudg-
ing a wrestling match or a contest
Of the padded gloves one Of the
fighters appeared as though he vas
an understudy Of Frank Gotch
The second contest was as extreme
~ satisfactory as it vas decisive
and so very different from the FIRST

preston Of the gladiator. having full

He seated himself without parley,

face expressed nothing except an i'm

JOHN JACOB ASTOR.

JOHN JACOB ASIOh.
prior to Dec. 81 last. 1t was on this
date that the accounts in the report
were closed. The balance expended
has come from Mrs. Astor's private
purse.
She does not ask that the deficit be
refunded to her, but she leaves way
open for such request to be made in
the future and also for the filing Of a
petition asking for a larger mainte-
nance income.
Prophetic of such a demand, Mrs
Astor calls attention to a provision in
the will of Colonel Aston, who met
death when the Titanic sank, by which
a $3,OOO,0OO trust fund was set aside
for their child. The interest from this
amounts to $4,000 year Regarding
this income, she says, it is plain that
her husband intended the child to en-
joy every comfort money could buy.
"The necessary expenditures since
the birth OF the infant to Dec. 81, 1914"
she reports, "for professional services
rendered the said infant by physicians
and lawyers, and for my bond as gen
eral guardian, all paid by me, have
been upward of $4,000.
"FrOm an examination of the ac-
counts Of various merchants and others
with whom | have dealt, / find that
there has been expended for clothing,
supplies, toys, etc., for the use Of said
infant since the date of his birth to
Dec. 81, 1914, and paid by me, sum
upward of $4,000.
81 have not charged the infant with
any portion Of the rent paid by me for
my summer home at Bar HarbOr, Me-,
or Of the cost Of various trips on which
he has accompanied me; or Of the cost
Of the upkeep Of automobiles main
tanned by me, from all of which he has
received substantial benefit, and with
a reasonable portion Of which expense,
as / am advised by my counsel, Hon.
Henry A. Gildersleeve, the said infant
might properly be charged.
"From this it would seem that the
expenditures / have incurred for the
benefit Of my said infant are far I'm
excess of the moneys received by me.
Of my late husband for the creation
Of trust fund Of 100000 for the
benefit Of each child Of mine that
might survive him it clearly appears
that it was his intention to provide
sum for the maintenance and support
Of such infant ample to secure every
thing for the comfort, welfare and
education of such child that money
could provide"
Mrs. Astor then Incorporates Sec
ton Of Colonel Astor's will. I'm which,
the trust funds are created. and con-
hnues:
IT am informed by the trustees of
the trust created for the benefit Of
said infant JohE Jacob Astor. under
the above quoted provision Of the
eighth clause of the will of my late
husband, and verify believe that the
annual net income from said trust
amounts ta tha SUI Of s1f00OO'
