picture gallery.

and which is believed to be one of his
greatest works, has been fully described in
the MORNING NEWS. It represents
"ApeLeS," Greece's famous painter. The
figure is heroic size and has been treated In
subdued tones, with a view to harmonizing
with the Schraudolph Gobelins, alongside

tween the Gobelins filled in with more
decorative works. or rather paintings of a
more decorative nature The effect desired
and obtained in the "Apellesn is more that
OF modern Partisan Gobelin than of the
older Tapisserie. The work is an interest
ing one and will be a valuable feature of the
Academy's already valuable collection.

numbers was made up in appreciation. A
Mr.. Couch, of Boston, acted as referee
The programmes opened with three
rounds of three minutes duration between
Jesse c. Eastmead, local sparrer, and Mr..
Custy, of Jacksonville, which were fairly
given. This vas followed by the same
number of rounds and time between two
local celebrities of co.or
The event of the evening, however, was
the contest between two colored boxers,
Pete Desveerney, of this city,
pon of -Florida. The fight lasted for
ten rounds, and was stubbornly contested,
finally resulting In draw. They
showed themselves to be pretty clever
at times, but the length of
the bout caused both to be pretty well
winded, and in the last three rounds there
was little or no sparring, but a regular
hugging match. The hat was passed around
a couple of times TO make up for the de-
fciency in the receipts.
The original programme advertised of
fifteen rounds between Meyers aud Murphy
was not carried out owing to the small
amount of money for the principals. but
the announcement was made that if purse
of 500 could be made up among the audi
ence that they would fight to a
finish with small gloves, but the
audience did not take to it very kindly

most scicnced of the two, but his opponent
was much heavier.

THE U. S. CIRCUIT COURT.
The Plaintiffs in a Case Temporarily
Floored by a Surprise.


Floored by a Surprise.
In the United States Circuit Court yester-
day morning jury was empanelled to try
the case of Waldron & Taintor VS.. James
H. Johnston, suit on account. Before the
trial had proceeded far the defendant filed
an amended plea of set off.
The right to file the plea was resisted by
the plaintiffs counsel on the ground that
the claims set up in the plea were over four
years old, and that they were barred by the
statute OF limitations The court, however.
held that the filing of the plaintiffs decla-
ration suspended the running of tle statute
of limitations against any equities which
the defendant might have right to set up
in opposition to the plaintiffs claim, and
allowed the plea to be filed. The counsel
for plaintiffs then claimed a surprise and
asked a continuance.
Pending consideration of this motion it
was agreed that the case be referred to an
auditor, as the claims involved complicated
questions of account, and it was so ordered
by the court.
Court adjourned to 9 o'clock this morning.

Hospital and asked the Waterman TO let
them use the telephone. They rang up the
barracks, but as the telephone of the latter
was cut of order they failed to raise the
Sergeant. They affected 20 be in a great
hurry. The Waterman asked them what
was the trouble
The spokesman Of the crowd said: "Whv,
eur friend" pointing TO a youth about IA
years old, 'has been cut, and we want the
policeman to come out and look after the
party VINO did the cutting
what brought about the troubleW que
ried the Waterman.
I'VE don't know. We were going along

and cut this young man.
The Waterman examined the bow whom
they claimed had been cut, but found no
blood, or any part Of his clothing cut.
After several unsuccessful calls for the
barracks they left 1t is thought around
the hospital that the young men intended
playing of a trick on the Waterman or the
