A recent writer suggests that the
sciences might receive new names that
would be self-explaining. He would
give US birdlore in place of ornithology;
fishlearning instead of ichthyology !;
plantlore for botany; starlore for as
tronomy, etc. Some Of these are occasion
ally used already, and there is no good
reason why we should not adopt all of
them.

JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.
How the Crowd Amused Itself While
Waiting for the Struggle.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 14.-ISpeciaI. At
$50 several notables among the sporting
characters before mentioned, entered and
were loudly cheered Jake Kirain, whois
evidently very popular, was appIauded to
the echo as he came in and took a seat in
a box with Major Mclaughlin, Masterson,
Muldoon, Parson Davies and several
others. To relieve the impatience of the
vast crowd, an eccentric genius named
Patsy Doody, of New York, hoped into
the ring and gave several songs and inita-
tions. Then fash shot photographer,
who was present to take pictures of the
memorable scene. tried II his apparatus was
in working order by firing up and taking
several shots at DoOdy and the thickIy

FITZSIMMONS WAS TOO HEAVY.
He Had to Work OF q Pound OF Flesh
at the Last Moment.

New ORLEANS, Jan. H-TSpecial. The
hall filled rapidly. Before o'clock Fitz-
simmons, accompanied by Jimmy Carroll,
arrived at the club and went to their
qarters. A private weighing developed
the fact that the New Zealander was one
pound overweight, scaling Isl pounds.
This was gain of four pounds in two
days, and Fitzsimmons, who is eminently
practical, at once went out to run the ex.
ira pound off before the gong sounded the
five minutes warning Dempsey, who had
spent most of the afternoon in the arms
of Morpheus, arrived at the club
while Fitzsimmons was out fin
ishing his training. A good
many of Dempsey's friends, when they
learned that the other man was slightly
overweight and had TO work at n time
when he should have been resting. thought
Dempsey's chances more favorable
than ever. At s O'Clock betting was even,
and there was not much of it.
The press arrangements within the en-
closure are excellent, the correspondents
having two good solid rows of benches
running around inside the fences to work
upon. There were quite an array of scrib-
blers at work, as in addition TO the local
reporters men had been sent from all the
large cities in the Union.

THE AMPHITHEATER AND RING.
Description OF the Huge Clubhouse and
the Roped Arena.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. H-[Special. The
scene of the fight is Two miles and a half
from the heart of the city, and in the rail-
way portion of New Orleans. The resi-
dents of the section are entirely German
and Irish. The Olympic clubhouse and
gymnasium, the huge building where the
contest took place. is situated between
Royal, Chartres, Clonet and Montague
streets. The clubhouse is very handsomely
furnished, and President Noel, who. in
company with Mclnerny, the bantam Of
pugilistic fame, has had the principal part
of the burden of bringing this match to
successful issue, is an energetic and pleas
ant gentleman. The ring is very clev-
ely arranged affair. 1t is raised very
slightly from the ground. and the
floor seems TO be mixture
of turf and asphaltum. Tho
ring posts and ropes are of quite gaudy ap-
pearance, being of cherry material. and the
contrast with the Jet black floor is rather
pretty. Outside of the ring ropes is an
iron girder running completely around. In
this space policemen in uniform are sta
toned, and outside them again is a barbed
wire fence. The boxes, as they are called.
are cosy divisions of six seats each, run
ming around the whole ring There are
forty of these, and they of course are con-
structed on the main floor and around the
ring. The seats for the general crowd run
in tiers away up to the caves of the great
building. The ring had machine along.
side it on which the men were to weigh
five minutes before entering the ring. In
all 100 police were detailed to keep order,
under Captain William Barrett, young,
popular and efficient officer.
Early in the evening crowds of the gen.
eral public began to drift toward the Ger
man quarters, and at o'clock, two hours
before the time mentioned for the fight to
begin, the thoroughfares around the
Olympia Club were thronged densely with
people going to the fight, as well as those
who were debarred from pecuniary rea-
sons and perhaps other reasons. The po-
lice had the streets roped off, and only
those with tickets were allowed through.
Inside the vast building the scene was
an animated and interesting one A per-
son had TO pass through half dozen en-
frances before getting inside but once in
side the sight was cheerful, although the
atmosphere was decidedly cold. A dozen
electric globes and twice as many more
swinging oil lamps made the place as light
as day, but the roped arena, its wire bar
rier and its accompanying weighing ma
chine had grim aspect.
