attended the Mace Donovan benefit at
the Broadway Athletic club tonight. In
addition to the heavy weight cham
pion of the wotld and the one-time
American middle weight champion, a
host of other by-gone stars were in
evidence. Among the spectators were
men well known In the higher walks
of life, who were present to show their
appreciation of the manly art.
The fun commenced with a three
round bout between Charley Norton
and Dan Keefe, of Newark.
Jim Hall, the Australian and Pete
Burns, of Harlem, gave a lively "go"
which pleased the crowd immensely.
The old veterans Oeorge Kooke and
John Donaldson, both of whom have
felt the force of John L. Sullivan's
blow, were the next pair. They smiled
as they played at "Jab and counter"
for three one-minute rounds and got a
great ovation.
A tremendous burst of applause greet
ed John L. Sullivan as he was an
nounced to make a short speech. He
received another ovation as he retired.
Billy Edwards, the ex-light weight
champion, and Arthur Chambers, of
Philadelphia, his old rival then sparred
three rounds. Chambers were quite
fast but Billy did fine. They did not
bother about the gong but sat down
when they were tired and the three
rounds were more than enough for
them.
Bob Armstrong, the colored heavy
weight from Chicago, was pounds heav
ier and Inches taller than Tommy Kel
lty, of Hoboken, and the latter had a
hard time to keep away fur three
rounds.
Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris
followed. Barney got a big Iloral horse
shoe, before he put on the gloves.

"Kid" Lavigne. Neither would make
the loudly requested speech.

ring partner. The champion looked in

of science.

peared there were 2.600 people in the
house.
Mace and Donovan entered the ring
at 10 o'clock. Parson Davies acted as
master of ceremonies. Parson Davies
announced there would be no decision
as the set was to be a scientific exhibi
tion of a friendly nature.
Donovan was very active on his feet
and danced around the old Englishman
tapping htm lightly on the face and
body with open gloves. Mace, despite
his years, was quick and used his left
well.
In the second round Mace took out
his false teeth and threw them to his
seconds.
In the third round Mace shoved his
left In straight a couple of times and
Mike sent a pretty hot one to the jaw.
They did some lively tapping In the
last round and the old fellow looked to
be In earnest for a second, when Par
son Davies called time. They shook
hands, and there were loud cries of
"draw."
A ten-round bout at 115 pounds be
tween Jim Rose and Jack McKcck,
two local boxers, wound up the pro
ceelngs. licKeck got the decision.

SPORTING NOTES.
In an article in a London (England)
paper.R.C.Lehman. Harvard's new row
ing coach, gives his impressions of foot
ball us follows: "Foot ball cannot be
a gentle game, and a milksup has no
part In It, either In England or Amer
ica. But the game I saw. though vio
lent and rough, was never brutal. In
deed, I cannot hope to see a liner ex
hibition of courage, strength and man
ly endurance without a trace of mean
ness than was shown by these teams.
American foot ball is not bo much a
game in our rough-and-ready sense of
the word, as It is the development of
a series of Intricate tactlcnl evolutions.
Players go through a course ot train
ing which no English amateur ever had
any experience of."
According to stories heard at New
Haven, Conn., Yale and Harvard are
now Involved In a correspondence, the
purpose of which Is to arrange the de
tails of athletic contests between the
teams representing the two universi
ties. It Is said there is a hitch in the
proceedings. The trouble. If there Is
any, is thought to exist In the matter
of a boat race. Yale wishes to row
Harvard alone, but Harvard cannot
agree to this, because she Is bound by
an agreement with Cornell. An effort.
It is said, is being made to have Yale
enter a triangular race.
Joseph F. Donoghue, the skater, has
received a challenge from Paul B.
Gowcher, of Ohio. If the challenge Is
genuine Donoghue says that he will
meet the Ohio man.
The negro, bicycle riders of the Unit
ed States are to make another effort to
induce the League of American Wheel
men to withdraw the color line which
now governs membership In the organ
isation. The matter will be brought
up once more at the national assembly
of the league In February. The lead
ing colored cyclists of the country will
be delegated to attend the assembly
and demand to be placed on an equal
footing with white cyclists. Several
prominent attorneys have Heen en
gaged, and should the assembly decline
to amend the constitution of the league
to admit colored riders, the legality of
Its action will be tested In court. This
color line question caused quite a lively
discussion In the national assembly of
the League of American Wheelmen
held In Philadelphia some four years
ago. At that time the southern con
tingent of the league threatened to re
sign In a body If the negroes were ad
mltted to membership, and as a conse
quence the line was maintained.
Some of the ministers of St. Louis
have declared war against the South
Side race track and declare thev will
not stop until It Is closed. At the La
fayette Park Methodist church Sunday
the Rev. S. H. Werleln preached a ser
mon on gambling and Its dire effects
on the moral community. He paid par
ticular attention to the race course evil
and took the South Side track as an il
lustration of the harm that It has done.
He said, in part: "Within three blocks
of this church an iniquity has been in
existence for a number of weeks. I
refer to the South Side race course,
which has with great persistency prose'
cuted its nefarious work through all
kinds of weather. It has gone on cor
ruptlng the morals of the people, and.
so far as I know, neither hand nor
voice has been raised against It. I
asked a tradesman, a resident near
by, why he never came to church. Hp
replied that his business prevented It.
I asked him If he had been to the races.
He hesitated a moment and said that
he had been there one afternoon. 'What
Is the harm of seetns a horse race?'
he asked. I answered: "You are a
partaker of other men's sins by lending
your presence to an undertaking which
has nothing but harm In it. And this
much I say to any and all people who
patronize the races. If people refuse
to present themselves at places of
questionable morality, purveyors of un
godly sports and amusements will close
their establishments."
