(United Press Staff Correspondent)
New York, Jan. (!. Whdfi Les Darcy
sailed into New York harbor aboard
the big oil tank steamship Cushing he
knew his arrival at the Battery was
being awaited with great interest in
New York. The wireless had told him
that. But the Australian marvel was
wholly unprepared for the reception
.with which he was greeted when he
started up Broadway to his hotel.
The usual crowd of newspaper mi.n
and photographers was on hand at
the pier when the tug puffed up along
side, but Darcy didn t tarry there long.
He was bundled into a taxicab and
taken to his hotel, 'where a real re
ception was staged. Guests at the
hotel had been warned in advance of
(the arrival there of Darcy and he was
greeted accordingly. Visitors crowded
iinto his room to see the velvety mus
cles and development of the man who
Jias beaten nearly every opponent with
marvelous ease.
Darcy's first night in New York was
just one cheer after another. He was
cheered by the street boys, who quick-
.ly recognized him, as he left his hotel.
A few blocks away in Madison Square
Garden New York's annual six day
bicycle race was in progress and the

New Yorkers have wanted a boxer
of Darcy's proportions to cheer for a
long time and they didn't, stint their
feelings. The fact that the pugilist
had run away from military service
cooled their ardor until the afternoon
newspapers came out with the decla
ration that Darcy intended to return
to Great Britain and enlist. Any
way, the New York fight public has
War Oddities.
Pays in Gold Coin.
-New York, Jan. 6. (Special.) A
local railrond company for a genera
tion has paid its employes regularly in
gold coin, but within twenty-four
hours after each pay-day, ninety-five
per cent of the metal was returned to
its main office through its local cash
iers. Hereafter, for a time at least,
any such immediate return is not tc
be expected. There is a large proba
bility, those who know most about
money declare, that gold coin will as
sume a place in trade in the east that
it has never had before. The hard
ship, if it can be considered such, rests
on the small cashiers, whose money
drawers and whose fingers are not ac
customed to handling it. Mistakes are
likely, and they will be costly ones,
and irritating delays are necessary.
Among those who will gain is to be
counted tho purse maker, for the
pocketbook of present use does not
provide easily for gold, and new Btyles
will come in vogue. It is probable
that the prejudice against the ordi-
; nary use of the coin will easily break
