and Morrison at Library Hall last night
was a treat to lovers of the manly art.
There were about two hundred spectators
present, who were evidently well pleased
with the performance. Unlike the exhi-
billions given by those of greater reputa-
ton, each of the participants did his best.
George Scott very ae%ceptably filed the
position of master of ceremonies, and
acted also as timekeeper.
The ball opened by a set-to between
Thomas Warren, the champion feather
weight of the Pacific Coast, and William
Smith, an amateur of this city. In agil-
ity and skill Warren surpassed his oppon-
ent, who, however, made a respectable
showing and displayed considerable
science and pluck.
One of the most interesting events of
the evening was the set-to between
George Morrison, champion heavyweight
of Leadville, and Harry Hines of this
city. Everyone knows that Morrison is a
good boxer, but few expected to see
Hines display the science, pluck and
agility which he exhibited. The set-to
was full of lively exchanges and some hard
hitting, and although Morrison had the
best of it, Hines came in for his share of
the honors.
This was followed by an encounter be-
tween Glow and Herman who had agreed
to take the place of William Fritz, he be-
ing unable to appear having sprained his
ankle. Herman has a good reputation
as a walkist, but as a pugilist he is not a
success During the whole encounter he
did not make a single shoulder hit. How
ever, he was plucky, and that fact made
the audience overlook his lack of science.
As a means of diversion there was a
set-to between the boy who performs on
the wire and Tim Sullivan, a youthful
Cheyenne aspirant. The wire-walker had
more science than his opponent and kept
his temper which Sullivan did not do.
The boys, however, created much diver
sion and kept the audience in good
humor. This was followed by a set-to be-
Warren and Sam Curley, of this city,
which was all in favor of the featherweight
who was in good condition, while Curley
was much too big and did not have the
requisite staying qualities. He showed
some science and more pluck, but was a
little nervous.
The wrestling match between j. S.
Herman, who claims the title of cham
pion all-around athlete, although Duncan
G. Ross has the same pretensions
which are said to be more uni
versally admitted than those of
Mr.. Herman, and John Sterling, of
London, England, was won easily by
Herman.
The grand wind up was between Morri-
son and Glow. The audience evidently
expected a smuggling match, but in this
they were disappointed. There was plenty
of hard hitting, tut the men were sparring
more to give an exhibition of science

led off, and landed a straight one on
CLOVIS eye, who Immediately countered
and the exchanges were rapid. Both men
were in fair condition and did well. In
the last round they went at it with a will,
and, when it closed, were warmly APP
plauded. Morrison is the stronger of the
two, but Glow is quicker, a better dodger
and has more science, The honors were
evenly divided.
Glow leaves tomorrow morning for
Denver, and states that he is well pleased
with Cheyenne and much gratified with
the reception which has been given him.
He certainly made friends while here.
