HOBOTH, MASS.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 2s.-A prize fight
came off in Rehoboth, Mass, this morning, in
which Jack Ashton and James Dolan, Of this
draw. The fight took place in q barn, about
twenty-five men being present. Ashton is
pounds. Dolan is taller than Ashton, but
weighs twenty pounds less. The fight
was under the Marquis of Queenshury
rules and the gloves were medium weights.
The moment the word was given the two men
came together .'like two locomotives" as one
spectator described it, and struck right and left
from the shoulder, neither making any attempt
to parry or dodge the blows, but dealing them
with crushing force upon the face and body and
only stopping when ordered to ''break" or rest
by the referee. Their faces were soon bruised
and bleeding, and their bodies and arms bore
the marks of brutal punishment. The blood
was dripping from their gloves and trick
ling from their faces during the lat
ter part of the contest, yet they stood
up to the scratch in the gamest manner The
battle waxed fiercera fercer, and at the close
of the eleventh round, the spectators observing
that both men were in a terrible condition, in
terrupted the fight. Ashton apparently had
Dolan at his mercy, and was hammering him
fearfully.

AN INDIANAPOLIS MUSICIAN.
Walter Rogers Destined To Be One of the
Greatest COrnetists of the Werld.

Signor Coppa, the leader of the Seventh Regi-
ment band, in an interview published in the
Louisville Times of Monday evening speaking
of his soloists praises Walter Rogers in the fol-
lowing language:
THAT young Indianapolis boy. W. Rogers, Is
destined to be one of the greatest cornetists of
the world he was simply a marvel when he
came to me last year, and his improvement since
that time is a matter of equal wonder. He
came down here and asked me to take MIN into
my band last year In order to give
him trial took him up to Lieder-
kranz Hall, and placing one of the most
difficult passages of Wagner's Flying
Dutchman' In his hand babe him play it. He
his rendition of it was simply wonderful. He
played several other pieces equally well. sug-
gested some improvements in his horns, which
ne adopted with much advantage. After arriv-
ing at New York sent for him and had him
play solos at Brighton. In a few days
they sent to me to ask that ] allow
Dir. Rogers to play at Central Park / did
so. and in few days received a letter from the
co mmissioner. asking that he be allowed to re-
main and do all the solo work at the park during
the season. and adding that if they could get
Rogers they didn't want Liberati anybody
else. Il do not mean to say that Rogers has the
tone of Levy or Liberati but he approaches
very near them. and has the important ana ex-
ceptional quality of never cracking note.
never know Levy or Liberan to play a
solo without breaking down and cracking their
notes. Rogers never does this. He is really a
wonder being so young. and has brilliant
future before him..
