QUEBEC EASILY DEFEATS SYDNEY Finai Score 14-3—No Danger of Stanley Cup Leaving Ancient Capital. Mareh 12.—The Que- hockey team, holders of the Stanley cup for two seasons, suc- cessfully defended the classic bit of silver against the Sydney, N. 8., team, champions of the Maritime League, on Saturday night, and so far the only challengers for the cup this year. The score at the end of the hour’s play was {4 to 3, but that by no means represents the run of the play, as the winners were at all times masters of the situation and could have scored many more goals if they had felt so inclined. | ALTITUDE RECORD French Aviator Reaches a Height of Nearly Four Miles—Pre- vious Records Broken.

Vancouver, March 12.—Fistie fans of the coast cities are tak- ing great interest in the boxing contest scheduled for Edmonds tonight between Sammy Good and Ernie Barrieau, Vancouver’s two cleverest lightweight boxers. A large amount of money is being wagered on the result and = it promises to be the biggest bet- ting affair of the kind held here- abouts in a long time. While Barrieau is conceded to be the more skilful boxer of the pair, the backers of Good think that Sammy's superior stamina and punching ability will bring home the coin. It promises to be a clever exhibition no matter what the result. Barrieau is a great defensive mitwielder, and in none of his bouts except that unfortunate affair at Edmonton when Kid Sealer dropped him in a hurry has he taken much pun- ishment. He has already achieved a victory over Good, stopping the latter in two reunds when they were amateurs, and he is confi- dent that he ean repeat. Good has shown wonderful improve- ment since then, however. He was very raw when he was pitted against Barrieau before and he has learned much during the year that has elapsed. He has never been beaten since and he has had quite a number of bouts. He is burning to avenge that previous defeat and those fans who take in the show are bound to see some fast work. Good's backers seem to think that the weight will hurt Bar- rieau, and that while Ernie may be able to outpoint Sammy for a few rounds that latter will be able to come through in the last five rounds and earn a decision if he does not actually stop the former amateur champion, It is a question that can bé_ settled only by actyal conflict, however. Whether Good has’ improved enough to reverse the storg of their other battle when Ernie's straight lefts brought home the bacon is causing the fight fans lots of argument, and the result is a great amount of speculation on the coming mill. GOLD SEEKERS ARE SAILING FOR NORTH eS ; Stampede for the Lake Atlin Country Has Begun from Seattle. Seattle, March 10, — Two steamers will sail for Skagway, Alaska, tonight with every berth sold.
