by the champion. Wilson was lu-
dicrous. II is true, but no more so than
Downey after all is said and done. for
the Ohioan is the personification Of
clumsiness.
willing to Mix.
The only thing that can be said in
Downey's favor is that he showed a
willingness to mix it and tried hard
to force the fight at times. Wilson,
probably remembering the Cleveland
bout, there could make careful fight
and depended mostly on countering
Downey's clumsy swings had either
landed or gone swishing by the mark,
as they so often did. Just imagine
twelve rounds of this sort of thing.
punctuated by numerous clinches, and
you have the story Of the bout in
tabloid form.
The middleweight division is indeed
huge, side-splitting joke II Wilson
and Downey are to be recognized as
the best men in 1t, and there are at
least $4,000 metropolitan fight fans
who will have other engagements any
time this pair is rematched around
New York.
Bout Was Wild Affair.
The bout was without doubt the
most thorough exhibition Of incompe-
tency. wild swinging, clumsy counter
ing and sluggish ring generalship that
has been seen around this neck o. tn
woods for many q day. 1t went the
limit and It was the limit.
Johnny Buff, the little flyweight
champion, showed more ability as a
boxer, a clean hitter and a ring gen.

Russell, a wild-eyed wild man from
Harrisburg, Pa, than both Wilson and
Downey. exhibited in their whole
twelve rounds and then had some to

star gazing trip in the fifth and really

belt, whereas Wilson retains his be-

SMITH SETS RECORD
FOR EXTRA BASE HITS

CLEVELAND. Sept. g. Elmer
Smith. Cleveland right fielder, has
established a new major league bat
ting record.
Starting Sunday at Detroit, Smith
made seven consecutive extra.base
hits for a total of twenty-five bases,
and was robbed of another when VIII
liams made a sensational catch of his
sacrifice fly in yesterdays afternoon
same with st. Louis. His batting ac-
counted for twelve runs. Four Of
Smiths hits were home runs, three
coming in succession. The others
were doubles, one Of which barely
missed clearing the right field wall.
In addition, Smith received four bases
on balls, three being intentional. His
batting average yesterday was perfect.

Prices in 1864.

Prices are not coming down very
fast, though the poor consumer is
anxiously awaiting a reduction in the
cost Of necessary articles. In this
connection we are reminded OF a bill
for goods sent us some time ago BY
R. c. Hess, OF Washington, the said
goods having been purchased by his
father, the late John Hess, from D
Getzendanner & Co. in Frederick. Md
November 5, 1864, and a permit for the
transportation Of which was granted b.
the agency Aid" From this Old doc
ument we note that Mr.. Hess paid 62H
cents a yard for brown muslin. 81
cents for cambria. % cents FOR calico
SITS for cashmere. rs cents for spoo'
cotton, 45 cents yard for g'ncham.
and so on. Brown sugar was % cents
A pound, coffee rs cents, tea S225,
boots So 90, and other articles in the
same PROPORTION. War and hich prices
seem always NJ be synonymous. so
maybe when the war. shall be over a
few years more we will have some re-
lief.
