France's former supremacy in the

stored markets in the I'nited States
dampened by reports on the subject
mado at today's conference session.
They were cheered, however by ad-
vires declaring there were prospects
of large sales of their product in Can
ada. Haron Danthouard gave a pessim
istic report with regard to the sale
ot' wine in the I'nited States. Prohi
bition was there to stay, at least for
the present, he said, and the best that
could be hoped was some amendment
of tho existing law. An Immediate
reversal of the forces that had been
at work for 71 years to make the
I'nited States dry could not be ex
pected, ho declared.

NEW YORK, March 14. Harry
Greb, a young man from Pittsburg, to
day was bearing his blushing honors
after a coming out affair at Madison
Square Garden last night. Thomas
Gibbons of St. Paul, a handsome
youth, attempted to interfere with
the success ot Mr. C.reb's debut in
metropolitan society but he merely
showed how the Pittsburger could
perform before a large and select
company. , 1
The two men, light heavyweight
pugilists by profession, were billed in
advance as, staging their meeting as
a prelude to the better men entering
Into active relations with William
Harrison Dempsey, now champion
mauler of the universe. After last
night's social affair, attended by the
flow-er of this city's smarter set,
there was not much talk of either
man being sent Into the ring to give
Mr. Dempsey a Roman holiday. Not
in many a month has a crowd ot
more cosmopolitan makeup or more
social prominence witnessed two ath
letes swing gloves at each other. The
Gurden was simply a mass of social
leaders, bankers and policemen, and
a' list of those present would read
like the social register.
Mr. Greb was acclaimed the winner
because he used both hands in a
windmill attack, while Mr. Gibbons
depended upon finesse for his points.
Greb was wild, but ho swung more
often and the percentage of landing
a blow now and then was all in his
favor. Gibbons landed at times, but
most of the time he was having trou
ble In avoiding the tornado of gloves
hurtling toward his marcelled head.
Ho never got a chance to launch his
attack to the body, his best stock In
trade, and on the showing made,
Greb was without question the head
liner of the evening.
