Monday night Kaplan went in the ring in Rochester, N. Y., against Paris Cangey, who was a sensation in Rochester becuuse of his vicious hitting and the numbgr of knack- outs he had to his credit. Cangey was_favored to be the second on et Kaplan, but the Meriden crossed them all up proved that he is far from done as a fighte Kaplan laid Cangey low to the stomach in the round and finished his man.

Frank Shechan, the silver-voiced tenor, was the main attraction at the annual meeting of the Gasco club last night. His rendition of “Mother Machree” before the thou- sands of guests assembled in the spacious hall of the Gasco club on Cherry street was so touching that hardly an eye was dry in the audi- ence.
