Maher, champion of Ireland, and Robert
Fitzsimmons, the middleweight cham
pioneof the world, fought tonight. AT
S:35 o'clock the arena, with its sea of
humanity, decorated in carnival-colored
drapery and flags of all nations, pre-
senred gala sight. Prof. John Duffy
was selected referee. Capt. Billy Bar
rett was, as usual, in charge of the
arena. Edward Curtis made his first
appearance as master of ceremonies,
and was heartily cheered.
While the throng waited for the pre-
liminary bouts to begin they discussed
the merits of the two men. and there
were many quiet bets made. No open
wagers were allowed. Outside of the
club throng waited the arrival of the
pugilists. Maher was the first to show
up. He had been kept in concealment
all day, denying himself to all
callers, and seeing only his man
ager and his immediate friends.
He did some light work during the
evening. and at o'clock got in cab
with Warren Louis, Billy Madden, Gus
Tuthill and Jack Fallon, and drove
down to the club.
Few knew that the tall and handsome
young fellow that walked with Madden
was the redonbtabie Irish lad. Maher
wore heavy overcoat, and his face was
rosy and heavy. Tea reporter he said
he weighed 176 pounds, and felt in
splendid condition. Asked what his
plans would be, he said that.
depended altogether on the result of
the fight. After it was over he could
tell better. Maher was taken into
room up stairs and stripped, and while
waiting for the call to the arena chatted
pleasantly with the men who believed
he was the greatest nan of his class in
the world.
Fitzsimmons reached the club at s
o'clock, and Immediately stripped. He
was accompanied by Jimmy Carroll,
Joe Choynski aud Prof. j. Robertson.
The Australian appeared in superb con-
dltion. He had little to say, and of the
fight he would not talk at all, but there
was supreme confidence i'll every move
he made. Carroll said Fitzsimmons and
friends spent the afternoon i'll playing
the piano and singing. FitZ did not

Fitzsimmons got fair fight. and at
the close went over ard kissed the Irish
boy. He offered a flask to his besten
stuff himself, and then congratulated
Maher on his game fight. The cheering
for Fitzsimmons was deafening in the
extreme, and the same merciful meth

sey were offered again to the Irish
champion. The decorum was some
thing wonderful, and stamps again the

Some people commented on Makers
courage when he gave up the fight, but
it is only reasonable to think he should
have done SO, when the superior science
and generalship of the man from Aus
tralia is called to mind. Fitzsimmons
walked around the ring after the fight
receiving the congratulations of his
friends. lie certainly proved himself a
wonderful fighter. His cleverness with
both hands was really marvellous, and
ii is but fair to say that there are few
tricks in the ring and few hits that
FitZsimmons is unacquainted with.

were as follows: Charley Johnson,

GROVER AND THE FIELD.
Rhode Island Democrats Spend
an Exciting Day.


PROVIDENCE, r. l.. March 2.-The
Democrats of Rhode Island met i'm this
city this morning for the nomination of
state officers for the election occurring
the first Wednesday in April. and also
for the selection of delegates to the
national convantion. The outcome of
town and city .caucuSes promised a
warm fight between two factions, one
purporting to favor the choice of dele
cation for Cleveland and the other pre-
ferring the selection of delegation to
90 unpledged. These differences. it
was understood, extended to contest
over the choice of state ticket, and an
attempt to prevent the reelection of
Samuel r. Heney as national commit
teeman. Up to midnight no sign of
Cancellation was reported and the pros
pect of a hot time crowded the hall.
Chairman Owen, of the state central
committee. called the convention to
order promptly at IL o'clock. Hon.
Charles E. German, of Providence, was
elected temporary chairman. His
speech eulogized the administration of
Cleveland, and declared that his name
would be burnt into the hearts of the
people like those of Jefferson, jackson
and Lincoln: it would complete the
triumyirate of century'5 Democracy.
These sentiments were greeted with
loud applause and a few Kisses.
Congressman Page spoke during
contested delegation case. He declared
that the Democrats were sound on
Cleveland's tariff policy, and sound on
the question OF free silver; but the ma
jofity in congress might be counted
upon to do nothing that would injure
the party or its candidates in the APP
preaching election. A resolution was
presented by Samuel K. Honey and re-
ferred to the platform committee. in
structing the delegates to the national
convention to vote for Cleveland. 1t
was received with great enthusiasm.
Two hours were spent in deciding
contested delegation, and then the tenn
porary organization was made perma-
nent. The platform reported to the con-
ventIon demands free raw material. 1t
approves the Springer wool list. Upon
the coinage question it reads: every
dollar of American money. whether of
gold, silver or paper, ought to be of
equal value the world over" The re-
pealing of the Sherman coinage act is
favored because of its failure to accom-
plish results desired, and for like rea-
son free coinage OF silver is opposed,
except upon international agreement.
The platform closes with Mr.. Honey's
resolution of instruction.
Nominations for governor being called
for, the faction led by Mr.. Honey and
credited to Cleveland presented the
name of David S. Baker Jr.. Of South
Kingston. Ex-Lieut. Gov. w. G. t.
Wardwell, of Bristol, was placed in
counter nomination. A warm discus
sion, thick with personalities, followed.
The vote cast was: Wardwell, 1877; Ba-
ker. Sc. and Mr.. Wardwell was declared
the nominee.
For lieutenant governor Charles E.
German, of Providence, was nominated.

A POLL OF STATES.
Hill Runs Slightly Ahead Of Cleve-

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Herald,s
Washington correspondent has been
preparing table showing presidential
preferences of the delegation to the
Democratic national convention. The
figures are based upon interviews with
congressional representatives of all the
states III Washington. The compilation
is made on basis of 300 delegates in the
national convention, of which the Her,
aid mans classification is as follows: !
Hill, 2S5.
Cleveland, 265.
For some Western man, $50.
Mr.. Cleveland seems to be the choice
of fourteen states. They are California,
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massa--
chusetts. New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode

Washington, West Virginia and Wis

Mr.. Hill is said to be the choice of ten
states. They are Colorado, Florida.

THE SILVER BRIDGE.
Senator Hill Refuses to Leap Be-
fore He Looks.


NEW YORK, March "A Washington
correspondent telegraphs this bit of
talk: What is to be the policy of the
Democrats regarding free silver" was
the question asked Senator Hill, of New
York; today. Mr.. Hill smiled and said:
IL am a new senator, and have not been
to discover that the Democrats have
a policy about anything" Senator,
how will you vote on the free silver bill
if one comes before the senate?' The
senator replied: II will not cross that
bridge until l come to it," He then
turned and walked away.
The order for considering the silver
bill does not provide for vote, but the
silver men mean to have vote, and the
committee on rules will probably sus-
tain them in getting it. Speaker Crisp
was aked today why the provision for
vote at given hour was not made in
order. He intimated that it would be
made if necessary, but added the COM
Msttee would not presume that the OPP

"The difference between the Repub-
licans and Democrats" remarked the
speaker, lis that If the Republicans
have club in their hands, they use it
to knock a mans brains out without
knowing whether he is going to do them
any harm or not. The Democrats do
not use the club unless they have oc-
casion for it,

A KILLING PACE.

Both Men Start in With a Ven
geance.
Time was called at 9:15, and the men
met in the center of the ring. Fitzsim-
mons opened the ball by feinting at
Maher. The latter made two left leads
for the face, and Fitzsimmons coun-
tered on the eye. Maher made
another lead with the left, but
missed. Both men missed lefts and
Fitzsimmons jabbed his left glove into
Naher's nose. Then he knocked Peter
down with right under the jaw, and
landed his left on the nose when Maher
got up. Maher was staggered with an
other left, and moment later with the
right. He bled freely from the mouth,
but knocked Fitzsimmons down as time
was called. This was terrible round,
and both men were carried to their cor
ners. Honors even.
Round Two-Fitzsimmon essayed the left

and both missed face blows. Maher landed
