THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE AFFAIR

to all to keep strict silence. so that the

theater party than ii prize fight. All these
were members of the New York Racquet
Club, but their names were most carefully

no doubt, and bets running into the
thousands were quietly received from time
to time.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
Five minutes after the fight was over the
principals and spectators had dispersed
and nothing was left to tell OF the great
and the strong odor of tobacco fumes
which pervaded the atmosphere. La
Blanche was taken away in Il carriage,
and it is said went on to Boston. The vie
torous Dempsey, whose slightly swcl!ed and
lace and cut lip were
the only indicati MS that he bore OF the
famous encounter, WAS taken aboard

ulations from the crowd on the way 10

were landed about noon. The news rapidly

1t is "A notable fact that the most proml

Hill, Joe Coburn and Arthur Chambers were
left ont in the cold. and did not get the cor
rect tin. Even the old-time sporting news
reporters went astray, after forty-eish'
hours of wild goose chasing, over Ions
Island and Wcstchester counties. As tt
the fight it was a.reed hy all who
witnessed it that it was the most larry
fought and gamest encounter they mac
ever known. The men were both scientln'
in the use of their fists and both are hare
hitters, but Dempsey's long arms ar
terrible. His left hand overmatched IN

handlers would have done much create
damage had they not been a little to'
short.
