"Baltimore, Ml., November 17, 1902. To The Honorable,
The Board of Police Commissioners. Gentlemen;-
In connection with Boxing Exhibitions which are given in this City from time to time, I would respectfully recommend that after Kovember 21st., 1902, no boxing exhibition shall consist of more than ten rounds, also to prohibit white and colored from sparring together in public, as it has a tendency to stir up race prejudice, which is not good for the public welfare.
Very respectfu ly,
THOMAS F. FARRAN, Marshal."

Board of Police Commissioners, City. My dear sir:-
