About two weeks ago both men entered the ring at the Olympic Club and fought two fast rounds. Both tried for a knockout and neither succeeded. The bout was the best seen at the club in years.

Chief interest centers about the meet- | ing of Eddie Hanlon and Joe Hill, a pa of clever bantam-weigh Hanlon de- feated Frank Neal in a sensational fight and some two weeks ago he gained the decision over Jockey Bennett. This was one of the fastest fights of the season. Hill has a record as a knockout fighter and has built up quite a reputation around the minor clubs. Jockey Bennett will meet at 110_pounds. Charley Rochette is to make his reap- pearance in the ring, meeting Frank George. Bobbie Johnson, one of the best of the 105-pound cl. , will' meet Kid Ryan, San Francisco Athletic Club produc Jack Coyne and Toddy Everitt will fight at 125 pounds and Joe Angeli and Dan Sul- livan at 120 pounds.

O’'CONNOR IN THE RING. Clever Jockey Is Matched to Box Johnny Crowell. Jockey Winnie O’Connor will have a long cherished ambition fulfilled Friday jghi. He has been matched to box four rounds with Johnny Crowell at 105 pounds on the night Gardner and Carter meet for their second fight. Crowell is a product of the San Francisco Athletic Club and is expécted to make Winnie think the race track an easier place to earn money than the prize ring. The fight between Gardner and Carter is pected to prove a whirlwind affair. Gardrer is an by Walcott, while Carter has unpleasant memories of the beating he re: the hands of Gardner at their firs ing. Since then Carter has increa welght and improveé noticeably in health. His opponent has also improved ospe- cially in his boxing. He is quick to learn and Alex Greggains has taught him a rumber of useful blows. Both men are known to be game and aggressive and the fight can hardly go the full twenty rounds. The preliminaries are promising. In ad- dition to the O'Connor bout Billy Snail- ham, who has not been seen in the ring in some months, will fight Tommy Gil- feather, ten rounds; Toby Irwin and Ar- thur Granfield are slso matched for ten rounds. Jim McDonald will referee the big fight. @ Tttt e el el @ SHAKING EARTH DAMAGES TOWNS Provinces in the Philip- pines Suffer Severe Loss. MANILA, Dec. 17.—The United States Ccmmission has finally decided to not again expo interfere with the importation or ation of gold or silver, unless abso- lutely compeiled to do so by force of cir- cumstances; but beginning with the year 1902 the commission will alter the two-to- one rate, in accordance with the existing ratio in the hope of preventing the fur- ther cxport of gold and American bills which are at present being shipped daily.

Many ladies residing in the Western Addition have been victimized during the’| past few weeks by a young woman who has been selling them what she declares to be hand-made lace, but which upon closer examination after the departure of the vender is found to be nothing more than the machine-made article, and is worth therefore considerably less than the ladies have paid for it. The young woman, whose name is unknown, is in the habit of making house to house. calls and asking for the lady of the house. To the latter she displays her stock of laces, which are carried in a satchel. She is well dressed, glib of tongue and has bes generally successful in converting her al- leged hand-made laces into cash. As an inducement to intending purchas- ers the young woman offers to instruct them at her home in the art of making the pretty laces if they will buy more than one dollar's worth.

Mazo, the entry of Andy Blakeley, with “‘Fighting Jockey Bennett in charge of the deck, ruled fa- vorite, and though cleared and stripped for action never took a hand in the af- fray.

The latter would have won beyond question . had Spencer not Leen unfortunate enough to break a stirrup. Midnight Chimes finished third.

Buchanan, who had the mount, was last away, however, and lost some- what handily to Wate atch, a 15 to 1 shot.

PARIS, Dec. 17.—Dispatches received from Marseilles announce that the French steamer Kleber, from Cette, France, is ashore east of the mouth of the River Rhone. The Kleber mistook the entrance of the river during a heavy fog last Mon- day night. During all of Tuesday lifeboats attempt- ed to assist the Kleber, but the heavy seas prevented them from reaching her. The customs boat from St. Louls du Rhone succeeded in getting near the Kle- i ber this morning and learned that the captain of the ship was ill and that the mate had disappeared. It is supposed the latter was swept overboard. The Kleber lies 300 yards off shore. It is feared she will become a wreck if the weather does not moderate. The Kieber carried a crew ’Jl fifty-two men. Her rudder and stertf posts nave been carried away. The latest dlspatches from Mar- seilles the wind is now changing, and hopes are entertained that the vessel may OCEAN CITY, N. J., Dec. 17.—The Brit- ish bark Syndia, which went ashors in the northeaster on Sunday morning, will prove a total loss. This afternoon she broke in two and has been abandoned by the wreckers. The vessel and cargo are | valued at nearly $500,000. BOSTON, Dec. 17.—The British steam- ship Isle of Kent of Newcastle, Bngland from Savannah for Bremen, put in here to-day with her bows crushed in and her stem battered. She brought the entire crew aof the Spanish steamer Amesti, bound from Bilbao, Spain, for Philadel hia, the latter vessel having sunk in a alf-hour after a collision with the Isie of Kent on Saturdn¥ last when about miles east of Cape Cod. The collision oc- curred early in the morning. Each of the lookouts sighted the other vessel, but too late to prevent the accident. The Isle of Kent cut half-way through the Amesti, so that she began to fill immediately. —_— Government Is Awarded Damages. The jury in the case of the Government mm!nstx Alfred H.
