holds the English championship. That
is game worth going after. Ryan is a
very shifty fighter and as clever as
they make them. In his last bout with
"Kid” McCoy at Chicago, Ryan was
behind McCoy, so Jack should know
what he is going up against. In talk-
ing over the fight before going to Eng.
land, O’Brien said that, in his opinion.
Ryan was doing better work than the
Kid when the contest was stopped, and
while he felt that he would want to
fight for the middleweight champion-
ship himself some time, he recognised
that he needed more experience before
going against such men as Ryan and
McCoy. The English trip gave Jack
a great lot of experience, and just

Having had the honor at knight-
hood conferred upon him and thor-
oughly organised the code of the Is-
lands, Sir Julian returned to England
where he was at once appointed legal
assistant secretary of state in the co-
lonial omce. Some years later when
the post was created he was trans-
ferred to the foreign office in a simi-
lar capacity.
During Gladstone’s first administra-
tion he succeeded Lord Tenderdon in
the upper secretaryship of state for
foreign affairs. holding that omice un-
til appointed by Lord Salisbury as
ambassador to the United States.

has chosen a man who gives a blow

WASHINGTON, April 5.—Much at-
tention h recently been directed to I
Lord Pauncetote, who has long and
happily reprbented the British govern-
ment at Washington.
Although Lord Pauncefote is credit-
ed with being one the cleverest of
Britain's diplomatists the American
mission is in reality the first dig’o-
matie poet held abroad by him. He
is, however. a man of brilliant ability
who has made a name both as a jurist
and by long service In the London for-
eign office.
The present dean at the diplomatic
corps here was educated principally
on the continent. His original inten-
tion was to enter the Indian army,
but he finally selected a legal In pref-
erence to a military career.
Lord Pauncefote was called to the
English bar in 1852 and for ten years
practiced in London. An opportunity
presented itself for him to secure an
extensive practice In Hong Kong, then
a more Important point than It is to-
day as the focus of eastern politics
and trade.
In China the present peer, then plain
Mr. Pauncefote, met with similar su:-
teas to that which he had attained in
England. He soon became attorney
general, and later chief justice of the
supreme court, and member of the leg-
islative and executive councils of tne
colony. In this cadacity he institutea
many Important reforms and benefit-
ed the colony In a lasting manner by
framing a number of Important laws.
It was In turn of his services in the
Leeward Isles for which he was first
knighted. Being offered the chief jus-
ticeship of this British possession be
at once set about the organisation of
a comprehensive code of civil laws to
there and at the foreign office Queen
Victoria conferred upon him the dis-
tinction of the grand croaa of the or-
der of St. Michael and St. George, and
later the grand cross of the order of
the Bath,
Lady Pauncefote, whom his lordship
married In early life, was a daughter
of the late Major Cubitt of Catfield
Hall, Norfolk. Lord Pauncefote is
now in his 75th year and is regarded
as the ideal suave and polished dip-'
lomat. It It be shown that he really
did commit a breach of diplomatic
etiquette in the transactions preceed-
Ing the Spanish-American war it will
be the first evidence that he has
shown of blundering In the long and
honorable career which he has enjoy-
ed. It is on thia account that one
should be skeptical in listening to pre-
mature reports of British ambassa-
dor's recall. It is more than proba-
ble, however, that on account of his
advancing years Lord Pauncefote may
himself have suggested recall, owing
to the desire to spend his remaining
years in his native land.
The American ambasadorship haa
always been considered a port of the
highest Importance by European na-
I tions, but particulariy has this been
I the case by Great Britain. Not only
have we had many distinguished Eng-
lishmen as ministers, but in a number
ot cases the attaches sent with them
have afterwards become famous.
An interesting series of portraits of
these men adorns the walls of the
library of the British legation, itself
one of the most handsome residences
In Washington.
Among thome who have come either

That It takes considerable money to
run a Arat-class baseball team may
be seen by the following estimate of
the Baltimore club's expenses for the
coming season, as given the Baltimore
News by Manager McGraw:
"The salary list of the club to date
is $41,000, with a possible addition of
84000 before the season opens. It coats
82250 to open the grounds—that is, to
make the necessary improvements. to
repair the ravages of winter. The
ground keeper's salary is 8800a The
southern training trip costs 81500. Uni-
forms for the players, purchased by
the club, cost $600. Balls cost 8600 and
bats an additional 8100. Advertising
bills for the season foot up 8200. When
on the road the aggregate of railroad
fares is 83200. hotel bills 84000, and om-
nibus hire 8400, The grand total is
860,500, and nothing has been allowed
in the foregoing computation for the
salary of the club’s omelais, all of

effect -
must be remembered that 10 per cent
of the gross receipta are turned into
the general league treasury, and that
the visiting club gets one-half at
every 25-cent admission ticket. Figur-
ing that the full quota of seventy
games will be played at home, the
attendance must average 4000 at each
in order to make the net total agure-
gate in the neighborhood of one-half
the year's expenses. The additional
amount received from grandstand
seats will no more than balance the
gumes prevented by rain." McGraw is
quoted as saying:
"I have spared no pains nor money
to make the team this year the best
that can be gotten together today. If
we are not able to nay expenses—I
don’t mean make a pile of money—my
stock will be for sale at the close of
the season to whoever wants it”
The benefit he derives from the lion
and pony is very slight, but he would
as soon give up his sparring partner
as his Great Dane.
For mile after mile Fits and the dog
run along together. The fighter holds
in his hand a rubber tube which the
dog seises in his teeth, and when Fits
gets tired the "Dane” drags him along.
The residents of Bath Beach and
Bensonhurst have long ago ceased to
wonder at the anties of this strange,
broad-shouldered, knock-kneed, red-
haired man who tor years has rambled
over the fields and raced up and down
the roads of South Brooklyn.
The mothers and children of the
neighborhood from Bay Ridge to
Coney Island know him and welcome
him, for frequently during his morning
runs he stops to say a few kindly
words to some little girl or boy.
His preparation for every one of his
recent fights has been done near his
present plae of training, and under
conditions somewhat similar.

purchase of an organ. Mr. Moffat sent
his check for $2000.
The ladles were delighted, and at
once purchased a fine instrument, but
there was not room for It in the little

be made was by the removal or crowd-
ing up of the front pews of the church.

therefore, was a season ot dissension

I Viscount Slatford de Redelime, who
was here In the early twenties, a
period when the English mission
meant anything but a round of social
amenities. Another minister was Lord
Ashburton, who negotiated the boun-
dary treaty which bears his name.
Another distinguished Incumbent of
the Office was Sir Henry Lytton,
brother of the great novelist, and
“Owen Meredith,” who under him
served as secretary of the legation.
Following him on a special mission
came Lord Elgin and in 1857 Lord Na-
pier came here to straighten out the
errors made by a minister proceeding
, him who had been caught in an In-,
discretion similar to that which led'
to the recall of Lionel 8. Sackville
West.
