Rev Benjamin W Arnett, senior bishop of the A. M. E. Church, Jan. 29, 1896, has created general surprise throughout the country and caused all manner of unfavorable comment to be directed against this northern city. Bishop Arnett is a gentleman and a scholar, a man of wide spread influence among both races, and that he should be thus treated is as unfortunate as it is disgraceful. We note that on Thursday night Feb 6, Councilman Ruffin of the city of Boston offered the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, a distinguished divine Bishop Arnett, of Ohio, in the cause of Christianity visited our city; and Whereas finding it necessary to apply for shelter at various public inns located in this city, licensed under our laws and amenable to the laws of our State, the said Bishop Arnett was, because of the color of his skin, refused accommodations, in direct violation of the law; therefore be it Resolved, That the City Council voicing the sentiment of the people of Boston, condemn such discrimination and urge upon the district attorney the necessity of bringing the violator of our laws to a sure and speedy punishment. Now will this district attorney dare to bring these hotel-keepers to justice? Will he use his efforts to have the good name of the city of Boston vindicated or will this outrageous insult of Bishop Arnett pass by without any positive action and the memory of it be as dream? We shall wait and see. Location Upper Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Slavin, of Australia, wound up his career of defeat in this country by quitting in the fourth round of his battle with Bob Armstrong, of Chicago, before the Union Park Athletics Club to-night. Armstrong was by no means a star, and if Slavin had been a good second rater he could have disposed of the colored man. The Australian has seen his best days, and was by no means entitled to make the demand he did before he went on. Having signed for a percentage, he was dissatisfied with the house, and endeavored to back out. Armstrong expressed himself as ready to box. After arguments, some of the Australian's friends induced him to stick to his agreement, and he entered the ring at 10:50. Armstrong having been waiting for him therefor nearly fifteen minutes. They shook hands at 11:20. Armstrong weighed 185 and Slavin 178 pounds. Sam C. Austin was referee. Round 1 - After a moment's fiddling Slavin led with the left, but was stopped and countered on the mouth. Every time Slavin tried to land he was stopped by Armstrong's left. The colored man put a right on the body and left on the neck, and sent his man to the floor with a right on the neck. Armstrong punched the Australian right and left, and had him against the ropes when the bell rang. Round 2 - Armstrong shot his long left to the jaw, and easily avoided Frank's awkward rushes. Armstrong rushed, and forced Slavin against the ropes, punching him, while the referee seemed unable to break the men. At last, being separated, they went at it hammer and tongs, clinching all over the ring. Slavin landed his right on the jaw, and both were in distress when the bell rang. Round 3 - Slavin rushed, but got one in the neck from Armstrong's right. Slavin was groggy, but fought back gamely. Armstrong swung right and left on the jaw, and Frank clinched to save himself. Slavin then came in with a couple of hard rights on neck and jaw, and Armstrong was groggy when the bell rang. Round 4 - Armstrong opened with a left on the nose, bringing blood. Slavin got in a hard body blow, but a left on the neck sent him to the floor He got up, and shoved his left three times on the colored man's wind. Armstrong landed some terrific punches and Slavin threw up his hands and quit, after two minutes and fifty-six seconds.

Student Name Brian Schrott Summary "Colored” boxer George Dixon defeats white Australian Billy Murphy after six rounds in New York. Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18970130.1.2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Business and Industry Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound New York, January 22- George Dixon (colored) defeated Australian Billy Murphy (white) in six rounds at the Broadway athletic club tonight. They were announced to box twenty rounds at 115 pounds, but the end came when it was least expected, for, at that time Murphy was apparently strong enough to have fought at least a half dozen rounds. Anyone’s Fight For four rounds it was anyone’s fight, both landing blows sufficiently hard to stop an ordinary pugilist. Not a drop of blood was drawn and there was no sign of brutality during the affair. Murphy surprised the crowd by his good work during the first half of the contest, while Dixon simply amazed them by his speed. During the first half of the fight Murphy held his own. Whenever Dixon would lead with the left Murphy invariably swum his right on the back of the head and also sent home some good body blows, but at all times he judged distances very poorly. Puzzled Him Dixon’s double blow with the left puzzled Murphy very much and the colored boy landed it half a dozen times during the contest. The blow which knocked Murphy out was a peculiar one. It was a left-hander, combined with a kind of upper-cut, and the butt of Dixon’s left hand caught Murphy in the pit of the stomach. It doubled Billy up, and he fell on his hands and knees to the floor, where he groped about helplessly until he was counted out. The First Round Round 1- Both sparred around the ring for an opening. Dixon led short with his left and was countered in the chin. In an instant Murphy sent his left prettily to Dixon’s jaw, after which Dixon tried his great “one-two-three” rush with poor effect. After coming from the ropes Dixon dashed in with his left twice on the wind, but Murphy sent back a terruvle left drive on the stomach. Round 2- Dixon pushed his left out hard and the Australian’s head went back with a jerk. The Boston boy then sent the left again hard to the wind. Both countered hard, and a sharp bit of slugging and wild swinging followed. Dixon tried his left again, but Murphy nailed him behind the ear. The Third Round Round 3- Murphy opened this with a pile-driving right over the heart, and then sent his left to the ear, only to be countered over the heart. Two clinches followed, after which they came together fiercely, Dixon upper-cutting with the right and Murphy finding the wind. A great rally followed, both fighting to the ropes. Round 4- Both started quickly, but in their eagerness clinched without striking a blow. Dixon got home a left and rushed to the ropes and used his head in a nasty fashion. Dixon rushed again, landing two good lefts, while Murphy sent a smashing right over the heart, after which each landed hard lefts on the face. In one of the “Sharkey” kind of rallies, they swung their lefts with great force, and had to be separated at the end. The Fifth Round Round 5- Dixon rushed in with his left and then swung a right and left that staggered Murphy, but he only smiled and kept sending his right to the wind hard. The fighting was terrific at this stage, Dixon pounded the Australians head, while the latter kept trying with his bad right. Two clinched followed, after which Murphy got in a soaker with his right on the head. Round 6- Murphy jabbed his left neatly in the wind, while Dixon swung high. Dixon sent his left over the heart. They both swung on the wind, after which Murphy missed a right that would have finished Dixon had it landed. Both missed with rights after this, when Dixon drove a good left home on the mouth that made Murphy wild, and he ran at Dixon. The End of the Bout The latter steadied himself and swung his left with great force one the pit of the stomach. It was an awful blow and had the desired effect. He fell on his knees, gasped and finally rolled on his back, while the referee counted the ten seconds that made him the loser and Dixon the winner. Time of round, 2 minutes, 43 seconds.

He would take a buzzard in preference to quail for dinner, simply because the buzzard is the bigger of the two. The colored man’s paper, no matter how small, is valuable to every right thinking colored person. Not for the variety and amount of its matter, but for the character, quality and purpose of it. There is always more in a single issue of the “New Test” for the instruction and encouragement of colored people that will be put into all the 365 issued of one year of the best daily in Texas.

The porch was taken down and a hood placed over the door, under which is the handsome brass lamp, on which is painted “The Planet.” The steps of the porch curve outward to the street. The flooring is two inches thick and the banisters are extra-large, adding to the symmetrical appearance of the same. The side-walk is granolithic. Iron letters, “The Planet,” were cast and inlaid before the pavement had hardened. A stepping stone was placed near the curb and a ring to which a horse can be tied was also sunk in the pavement. The guide stone on the right was presented by Mr. J.S. Gardner, stone-mason, yards, 21 and 23 west Leigh St. The two tree boxes are painted white with appropriate trimming. The front of the brick building is painted white, with light brown trimmings. On the cornice rests the large sign, which is over eight feet in the centre. It is thirty feet long.
