The M0RGANS' CONCERT.

Americas Greatest Orgsnist and HarpIst
at the Congregational Church.
The city of San Francisco is supposed to
contain very large percentage Of musical
and highly cultured people always anxious
TO show their appreciation for the highest
talent when an opportunity offers. Such an
occasion presented itself last night, when
Americas greatest organist and harpist ap-
peared for the first time ia this city, What
q disappointment IL must have been to these
most worthy and talented people when they
looked on the meager attendance that put
In an appearance at the First COngrega-
ti0nal Church last evening. II is a perfect
disgrace TO the intellectual people Of San
Francisco to lose such an opportunity as
was lost last evening, to say nothing of the
opinions that must be carried away by such
artists as Mr.. Morgan and his daughter.
Doubtless many time they have both
listened 10 the tOO-Oft-told tale Of the great
ness Of San Francisco, and when seeing
through the eyes Of others 5000 miles away
one Is apt TO form Misunderstanding con-
cepti0n Of the so recently born city Oh the
shores Of the Pacific. How different the
realization Of the picture and how far away
from the world San Francisco really is.
The performances Of Mr.. and Miss Morgan
last night were quite up TO their usual
standard of perfection. To attempt TO
CRITICIZE either artist would be presump-
TuOus; they are both unexcelled at any rate
In America, If not in the world. Miss Maud
Morgan certainly plays the harp with more
Finish and seems much more at home
on The platform than when We last heard
her in New York about six years ago. Her
classic form and magnetic bearing belong 10
her and her alone. No one that we have
ever seen on the concert stage excites so
suddenly the sympathy of an audience, for
there IS sort Of quiet repose which seems
70 surround both the artist and the audi
ence es soon as she appears A public per-
Torrance In San francisco is ALWAYS bandl-
capped when given in a church, but we sup
pose the reason, and good one in this in
stance, was the necessity Of securing one of
the best If not the best, organ in the city
for Mr. Morgan to perform on. There are.
however. hundreds Of people who would
have gone to Metropolitan Temple who
would not go inside the First Concrega-
tional Church. 1t was announced during
the evening that Mrs. E. / MaImgren was
sick and could not sing, and it is pity tina.

Fleming has fine rich bass voice, and sang
"David's Song Before SauP' with splendid

Mr.. and Miss Morgan will be next Friday

TWO FINISH FIGHTS.
An Evenings FisticuHs at the Paclfi
Club.

An Evenings Fisticuffs at the Pacific
Club.
The Pacific Club gave a good entertain
ment last evening. Previous to the event
OF the evening the referee, Professor NJ. O.
sullivan, announced that there would be
ten-round go" between Henry Englehart
of Denver and Henry Pepper, semi-col-
ored pug from Los Angeles. Englehart
handicapped his opponent In height and
weight Pepper, however, made ND for tn e
handicap he had to concede in stiff punch
ing by the swing system of delivery. Engle-
hart played on the defen slve and appeared
perfectly cOntented in stopping Peppers
gloves with bis face. In the third round
Pepper was knocked groggy by an upper
cut which he caught on the chin during a
rally. lie was up in seven seconds and re-
NAMED on deck until the round ended In
the seventh round Englehart was knocked
completely out with left swing on the
point OF the chin, and the referee gave the
contest to Pepper, who had certainly done
all the leading.
The next was the event OF the EVENING"
finish fight between two local welter-weigbt
pugs named Spider" Kelly and Sam Bar
Der. Kelly was favorlte in the betting.
Inc puglllsts were not scientific, but what
they lacked in the knowledge of the manly
art they made up in fighting Barber was
the more agile on his feet, and from the first
round he was the aggressor. Kelly relied
on swinging blow to win the fight. He
had much the worst of the first and second
rounds, but the third, fourth and fifth were
holly contested. Barber was knocked grogey
10 the fourth by his jaw having come
in contact with Kelly's glove. He
was up in a j;ffy. and stool his
opponent off until the end Of the
round. The fifth and sixth rounds were
sharply fought, although clnches were
numerous. In the last of the sixth round
BARRIERS glove came off. which necessitated
few seconds rest. Kelly was the stronger
OF the two. and as the contest progressed
Barber showed unmistakable signs Of weak
ness. In the eighth round Kelly came
within an ace OF ending the fight. Barber
was exhausted and could not administer

any effective punishment. The gong saved
him from defeat. In the ninth Barber vas
bleeding profusely from the mouth, but he
fought game aud tried hard to lard on Kel-
lys jaw. 1t was give and take. Then Bar
per started In to butt Kelly with his head
Just before the gong sounded to corners.
Kelly came no fresh for the tenth. Bar
Der forced the pace at the start, but was too
weak 10 keep up the steam. Kelly landed
a few heavy body blows which bothered the
recipient. Barber spared for wind and re.
tired TO his chair in a very cxhaus ted condi-
ton. Kelly missed his opportunity in not
having forced matters In the next round,
and as a result Barber recovered "his wind"
and surprised his friends by resuming his
former tactics.
The contest wore on until the thrty-thIrd
round, when Kelly struck at Barber as the
latter was reclining on the ropes with his
knees # the ground. A foul was claimed
and not allowed, and then bowls and war
whoOps rang through the building. The
referee did not allow the foul, and in the
thrty-fourth round Kelly knocked or rather
pushed Barber down. and during the excite
ment that was pending Barber remained
down 10 seconds and was counted out. The
referee gave the fight to Kelly. The excite
ment was intense.
