The police commissioners and Superin- tendent Bprnes have decided that their tol eration of boxing shows has been taken by managers to mean a privilege to run knock- out shows, and the authoritics are naturally indignant, It is the old game. An abuse of a privi- lege and the righteous indignation of those whose good nature has been played upon. No one can blame the cle superintendent of police for feeling that his kindness was taken advantage of, and no one can bl him for tuking the stand he does prohibiting glove contests in the future within his jur- asdiction. Assuredly, he never meant to permit knock-outs when be agreed to allow # boxing show 1n Madison Square Garden, and the only surprise 1s that the managers of the recent affair were so blind to their own interests as to exceed the limitations 80 commonly known to all intcrested in pub- lic affairs of the sort. That Dixon succeeded in putting the quie- tus to Solly Smith was no surpriso to those who were familiur with the style of fighting of the twomen. That Dixon isas clever a 1ad a3 ever donned the cestus hus long been acknowledged by those competent to pass judgment; not only with his dukes, but with his head and feet. That heis as game as the legendary pebble and hard enough hitter to suit the tastes of all the pugs who have thus far dared to enter into anargument with him, 1s likewise open to no dispute. On the other hand, what can be said of Solly? “That he is clever, nota bit of it. o is simply 8 willing, hard working little fellow, who, up to last Mondsy night had ' been sailing along on the top wave of ru(ul fortune.

But, notwith- standing the Galifornian's tremendous hit- ting capabilitics, ho failed to upset the boy from Halifax., Well, there you are. Smith has been misjudged, and so has Dixon, only in differcnt ways, that's all, After a remarkabio fight of twenty-cight rounds down at New Orleans the other night, Johuny Vun Heest knocked out Huy Napicr, the dough.y Australian, which proves to me, anyway, and conclusively, too, that if John Van Heest were to bo run up against Dixon's latest vietim, he could dupli- cato the trick. Napier was supposcd to havo haa a cinen, He towered over the St. Paul bantam like Fitzsimmons towered over Dempsey. His arms are like those of the quadrumana that rosm around in darkest Afcica, and Van Heest had to dive in head first to get his glove within hailing distance of the freak’s anatomy. He couldn't have hithim in the face unless they had tied Hughey's tentacles bebind bis back and run Johnny upa few yards by pulley or step ladder. Sull he mude those head-fivst dives, and kept on making thein, until the Anti® podean’s wind department lookea like a huge cow's liver. Finally this continuca caressing had the desived effect, and Napier gave u last grunt, went dowm,’ rolled over and was out. And yet Billy Smith told me over in Chicago a couple of months ago that Johnoy couldn't fight fast enough to get up a respectable perspiration, Jack McAuliffe, says Macon, has had a bard summer of it. He failed to get on with eithor Jem Carney or Dick Burge in Euglund, and now on his réturn to America he finds his mateh with Jimmy Fleming Carroll knocked into a cocked hat. By the way, Cirney's disinclination to trouble MeAuliffe shows that he knows Jack is his master. Ho caught Jack wholly unfit to fight s long battle at Revere Beach, and it was only by the iutervention of Jack's warm partisans that the American champion was saved from defeat on that occasion, Carney made much of the fact that the ring was broken luto by Jack's friends and he saved by thewr intervention. He threateved to smash Jack on sight if he ever caught bim in England, but the sequel proved that Muster Carney knew full well the difference between Jack MeAuliffe ill and Jack MeAuliffe well. It will be hard work for Jack 10 find an opponent in Amer- ica. Heso far outclasses all men of his avoirdupois and height that 1 know of no wan fit to compete with him, The old adage that misfortunes never come singly was ugain exemplified in the case of Solly Swith last Monday night Dixon beats him, and humedintely after- wird a big hayseed from Hoosierdom arrests /him, takes bim b to Indiaua, where he must stand trial for prize fighting within the confines of that state.

The latter simply gave couple of puffs and wulked away with the lightning bug. In subsequent tests the electric engine was given the advantage by being started first, but again the locomotive pulled it up the track. The electric engine was clearly outzlassed, making due allowance fcr the locomotive's excess of weizht, ©Mr. Heury Pope, the New York electr quoted as saymng: *'The day of the wol is past. I would rather own this patent than uy othier for electric street car propulsion in the world.” 'This sanguine propuecy was mude after viewing with representatives of the Broadway cable road and other railroad men from New York city and Boston an e: perimental triv on a section of ‘electric rajl- wiy run with an underground conduit sy tem. The system was invented by Gran- ville . Woods of Brooklyn and Cincinnat, and the experimental section has been down for ubout & year at Coney Island, It has stood & number of tests made in fine weather, but the usual objection that it would nov work in wet weather was made. To disprove this the experts were iuvited to witness the test just made. The system consists of u conduit, -in which are placed at regular intervals hermetically sealed and water tight boxes, from which project contact points on each'side of the slot. These contact points form a connection with a long shoo, whieh is tastencd on the bottom of the car und runs in the slot, which resembles the siot on the cable roads, The counection is made,_ by the shoe running aguinst the contact poiuts, which are so ar- runged that the shoe is always in contact with at leust one pownt, causing the motor to become nctuated by the electric current which flows through the bexes from the able wires, which are laid in the conduits, The boxes are so arranzed that the contact points turn on a pivot, making a connection with brushes iusidé the boxes only when they are in contact with the shoe on the car. Otherwise they ave always out of cir- cuit. For the wet fyeather experimeat tho conduit was filled {¥ith water and mud, and the car was run backward and forward ' just as well and as rapidly as if the conduit was perfectly dry. The demonstration was de- clared a success and drew out Mr. Pope's propbecy.
