Neither man was able to hit very hard, and, while both were clever, the English visitor, who appeared for the first time in New York tonight, was the master hand at every stage of the mill. Frayne did a lot of roughing, but he always got the worst of the ar- guments at short range. Welsh landed 50 frequently that had his blows been backed by even moderate power a knockout might have been placed to his_credit. None of the blows of the Californian was heavy enough to leave a mark on the Briton. In the first round both men sparred lightly, each landing lefts to face and body. Welsh had Frayne slowing up in the fourth and pursued his advantage in the fifth, jabbing lefts to the fact repeatedly. The veferee had to pull them apart three time: Frayne tried for rights to tbe bod but Welsh clinched and landed sev- eral short right hooks on the head. There was much infighting, in which ‘Welsh had the advantage. In the eighth Frayne landed a good left to the mouth, foreing Welsh back to the rope, and at the end of the round he had a slight advantage, which, however, he failed to hold in the ninth. 45 \ Frayne started the last round with '»| rush, but he could not land on Weish, who kept on doing the fighting, send- ing In plenty of punishment, but re- celving very little, Krayne: bored in continually, but could not land ef- fectually, while Welsh got in some Jefts and rights which, although not heavy, won the day for the forelgner, In @& six round preliminary Eddie Toy of San Francisco won easily from & mew arrival from Eastern Connecticut Games.

Shares of All Clas: Displayed Ex- traordinary Brilliancy. wide speculative demonstration in cop- per metal and copper industrials se- curities today. This movement formed the central force in the day’s market in New York. In Paris and in London copper mining shares of all classes and condition displayed extraordinary bril- lancy. The strength of these stocks in New York was partly on buying or- ders, nominally from forsign sources. The' great influence on speculative sentiment of this copper demonstra- tlon was due to the supposition it | caused that active operations in the | market were going on by the group of capitalists of most pronouaced specu- Jative proclivities "and credited with the most powerful resources. A sys- tematic canvass was mede of a large number of companies and & succession of reports of thelr activities or of ihe views of thelr officials on the business outlook was published throughout the ew Yorlk, May 7—There was world- § day. Large new orders dvere in sight, it was sald, for cars and rails. One company announced an advaice in the price of lead and sales of conper at a price above the recent quotation. An- other company, it was reported, had withdrawn from the copver market, having its product sold up to the end of June. London prices for copper as well as here were advanc To- creased activity by various steel miils was reported. These stimulating in- fluences stirred up the speculati®h m the coppers to the bolling point and had a liftive effect on the whole mar- ket. The preliminary estimates of the week's currency movement had some sustaining effect on prices with indi- cations of heavy receipts from the in- terior brought out by the hardening interest rates In New York. Stocks were but little affected by the heavy decrease in winter wheat acreage indi- cated by the goverrnment crop report.

There was & speclal meeting of the Westerly town counct], Friday evening, President Willlam L. Clark presiding, and Councilmen Scaalon, Maxson, Cul- ley and Burdick in attendance. The voting Mst of those qualified to par- ticipate in the financial tdwn meeting was canvassed, as required by law. Herbert M, Farrell and William Foley, democrats, and Everett Barns and Lewis Stanton, republicans, were ap- pointed supervisors of the coming town election. A petition was received from the Paweatuck Street Railway company, asking for permission to extend their tracks from Broad street to the center of the Pawcatuck river bridge, to connect with the rails of the Groton and Stonington trolley road. As this matter is considered of public import- ance it was voted that the petition be referred to a public hearing Mon- day, May 24, at 10 a. m, Town Solicitor Kingsley submitted an agreement that he had prepared by direction of the council, for the signa- ture of August Larsen, in which Mr. Larsen agrees to in the future com- ply strietly with the liquor law. This in" consideration of the action of th council to ask that there be suspen- sion of sentence by the superior court, in a former liquor case, This agree- ment provides that Mr. Larsen could be called for sentence and without fur- ther trial. Councilman Burdick objected to thi agreement and Insisted on the enforc ment of the first agreement signed by Larson which was similar to this sec- ond agreement. Councilman Scanlon precipitated a heated argument by asking Council- man Burdick with reference to the work of the “spotters” in connection with the drug store sales, in which At- torney Ledwidge made charges in rap- id succession, and so, personal that councilmen appealed to the president. and Mr. Ledwidge was requested to cease speaking on the subject. Joseph L. Peacock spoke briefly in regard to the folly of asking that sen- tence be deferred, especially as a for- mer agreement, such as now presented, had been violated. If the former agreement meant anything, it should be adbered to, before another was sub- stituted. Mr. Kingsley explained the differ- | ence between the two agreements, and showed that the present agreement is much stronger than the original, as it clearly settled that upon violation of law, Larsen could be called up by a committee of the council as well as Dy the attorney general. that as a citizen interested in the welfare of the town, after the two agreements were ex- plained, he believed the agreement just presented as the stronger and it was satisfactory to him. He would be sat- isfled to have Mr. Larsen sign the agreement and go his way and con- duct a legitimate drug business. Mr. Larsen signed the agreement, and with his counsel left the room. Then there was another lively dis- cussion between the members, with no semblance of order, it being all in an informal way, and there were charges and counter charges decidedly person- al in character, Inasmuch as the police committee have declared that they would vote against the acceptance of the Larsen agreement, Dr. Scanlon moved that action be deferred until all members are present. President Clarke did not entertain the motion. Councilman Maxson said that a good deal of time has been wasted in this ‘matter as no one authorized has call- ed Mr. Larsen up for sentence, and therefore the conditions are just the same as before this matter was first considered by this counoil. On motion of Councilman Burdick, own_solicitor was authorized to take the Larsen agreement to the at. torney general for conslderation and report back to the town council, John ¥.
