for many years a citizen of Lexington,
was one OF the most enthusiastic
home -comers we had with us during
the celebration He came before the
big week started and remained until
after the last feature of the program
had been disposed OF. He mixed with
hundreds of old friends. some Of whom
he had not seen for great many
years. He was called upon to take
leading part in many of the features
and always acquitted himself with
much credit. He made a happy re-
sponse to the address of welcome on
the first day and presided at the gem
eral service on Sunday, the last day.
In the interim, also, he took part in
various things that helped to put the
proper spirit into the celebration.
DIR. Mcclure is one of the leading
specialists of the state in diseases of
the eye, ear nose and throat. He is a
son of VIM. and Martha Mcclure, both
of whom passed away many years ago.
He is brother of Mrs. 7. J. Snyder,
Hon. r. c. Mcclure and Prof. George
NJ. Mcclure.

um on Labor Day against Brennan
or Willard.
Being as Willard would have a
hard time getting into condition.
brennan is almost sure to do tho
catching.
Dempsey, finding use for a good
purse, should not be censured too
much for fighting Brennan because
| tie field to pick from is very slim.
The champion has convinced the
fans that he is willing to fight Harry
Wills. but Tex Rickard, the only pro-
meter big enough to stage such
fight, says he will not attempt it un-
til next year
Deaipsey and Wills probably will
meet in some Canadian city neX'

mixed bouts would cause too muci
agitation against the fight in th'
Unite! States.
Fitzsimmons succeeded in gettinl
lDempsey's name on paper for a La
