An Evening With Some Arizons
 Fistic Celebrities.
 A free ticket to the glove contest last evening, caused our religious editor to spend a few hours with the boys, and right good time was enjoyed. Reid's Opera house was the halting point fol the sport loving element of Tucson, and as the dsplanked down their admission fee and glided into the tistic arena some in affiuence and some otherwise - they all seemed bent upon witnessing a genuine fight or knowing the reason why.
 About o'clock the house was filled with a noisy audience, eager for the fun, when the curtain rose and revealed the presence of young man in faultless attire, who announced that the "festlVI- ties" would begin with, a club-swinging exhibition by Prof. Reed. He distin- guished himself in the rotary manipula- tion of the clubs, giving fair illustra- tion of what may be accomplished by patience and-much muscle. But this was not what the audience was after. It wanted "blud," and at once. The manager, in silvery tones, announced his desire for a time-keeper, and the name of Jack Bolyn" thundered forth from xl, Toafy hlt1chal hl1f h aH n succumb, and as he ascended tie stage in his long tailed coat and rel sh.rt, Ee looked quite attractive, and Was loudly applauded. Then came the selection of a referee. The Star man was not present, and this responsible office was awarded to man fully as competent Bob Harrison. Everything looked fixed for the fun when it was discovered that Bolyn's watch was no good. Frying Pan, however, set matters to right, by offering his repeater for the occasion, when the manager trotted out
 CULLEN AND CORNERS.
 Corners looked big enough to eat his opponent up, but he found lively lad In Cullen, who countered almost every blow aimed at him. The first and second rounds belonged entirely to Cullen. Corners evened matters up a little, however, in the third, but lost the match on points.
 CORNERS AND BROWN.
 The second match, as previously an nounced, was to be contest between Brown, of Arizona, and San Carlos Apache. The Indian, unfortunately, had been disabled, and Connors, the de- feated man in the proceeding fight, took his place. The men were evenly matched and made good fight, Corners showing himself to good advantage, better by far than in his previous contest. Brown hustled him, however, and some hard hitting was done towards the end of the third round. Cocktails and fans revived them somewhat for the final struggle, and they made things hum, to the delight Of the spectators, who yelled themselves boarse in urging the men to smash each other into aE un- rc cognizsole mass. Evidently the brotherly feeling heretofore existing be- tween the men had been all punched out at the end of the round, for they used each other in a manner not in strict accordance with scciptural rules Honors in this match were about even.
 REED AND POWELL.
 This was the event of the evening. Reed showed up in grand form, looking ipah tho inaol r,I1rrlilIct pnWeI was 9 pounds the lighter man; though l weight and reach.
 Reed led with the right, but fell short | and received d light body blow in re- turn. Powell followed up his opponent, | but met with a stinger in the jaw, which | pleased the audience greatly. Some | good boxing was done in this round | with Reed in the lead.
 Round 2-Rather tame, both men i feeling for each others weak | points.
 Round 3.-They had found each others 1 judging from the hammer-and-to -tongs | Reed however, showed his su perlorlty. | w OOulO Hllll SClOAlCO Ol hO mean class, crowded the smaller man, but he was a game lad, nevertheless, and took his medicine without a finch. Several breaks occurred, but Bolyn's euphon!ous voice acted like magic. Reed i bad much the best of this round.
 Round 4.-The men were pretty well blown, and some light sparring ensued, n which Powell showed himself to good advantage, and gained the round.
 Round 5.-Reed came up dancing, and 1roye his opponent to the ropes, and t looked as if knockout would ensue, put the little fellow rallied. and made a ;tand-otf.
 Round 6.-They went at each other with rush, and it WAS give and take or minute, but Reed finally got in some fancy touches on Powells jaw, md seemed to have things much his own way, when the call of time put an end to 5he entertainment. The fight was awarded to Reed.
 For an entertainment of this kind, 1 he best of feeling prevailed. Every hing was conducted in first-class man. Ter, and reflects credit on the manage nent.
