THE COON VICTORIOUS.

The great prize fight between
Peter Jackson, the colored pugilist,
and Frank P Slavin, took place
near London, England, May. 80.
Slavin was not sin it" from the
start. Below are the details of the
fight:
1t was ten minutes after 7 when
Jackson and Slavin made their APP
pearance in the ring to begin the
fight. The usual preliminaries oc-
cupied only a few minutes.
In the first round Jackson led off
with light tap on Slavin's body.
Prolonged sparring then ensued
and Slavin did not force the fight
ing at the great rate expected.
Jackson, though he did not hit
with much force, kept his left arm
constantly in Slavin's face. Twice
Slavin cinched and was ordered by
the referee to break way. He then
tried to land his right on Jackson,
but the latter jumped away and
the round ended very evenly.
Second-The instant time was
called Slavin made a savage rush
at his antagonist as though he in
tended to annihilate him, but Jack
son always had his left arm in Sla-
wins face. Three times Siavin
rushed to close quarters with the
same futile result. Jackson then
took the initiative and drove his
left and right in quick succession
on Slavin's body. Slavin appeared
10 be firing as the round closed.
Third-The round opened amid
intense excitement Jackson kept
prodding Slavin in the mouth and
left eye, and the eye began to show
signs of closing. Slayin kept bear
ing in, but, try as he would, he al
ways failed TO land his dangerous
right on his antagonist. In the
asst minute of the round a splendid
rally occurred, when Slavin hit
harder and Jackson struck mo, e
frequently. Both were hard at
work when time was called.
Many bets were lost on this con
test as many wagers were made
that the fight would not las. three
POUNDS.
Fourth-Alter the call of time
Slavin was tie first to get to work.

lie down and admit defeat, but
held up his CORY head to receive
blow after blow, Jackson, in a
helpless logged manner stopped
and looked around the ring as
much as to say, have | not done
enough His adhersnts warned
him to continue his blows and
again they were rained upon the
almost defenseless man before him.
Slavin swayed feebly and stood up
again but finally, in response to a
terrific blow, sank in a heap on the
floor.

Jackson seemed to have already
taken his rivals measure. Every
time Slavin rushed in the round he
met Jackson's left. The men
started in and fought through the
round at terrific pace, each doing
his utmost to win, and Jackson
having shade the best of the ex-
changes.
Sixth-Slavin worked Jackson
into a corner and landed two heavy
blows on his ribs. The negro
jumped out and landed a swinging
left and right on Slavin's head.
Standardization time after
time banged his left into Slavin's
face and before the round was half
over Slavin's left eye was nearly
closed.
Eighth jackson was now prespir-
ing freely but seemed to be fresher
than his opponent. Jackson again
banged away at Slavin for all he
was worth and had the best of the
round at the finish, odds of six to
four being laid Oh him at the close.
Ninth-Slavin made a grand eff
fort to keep on equal terms with
Jackson but received several sting
| ing left handlers on the mouth and
eve. Jackson was shooting his
right with great effect and had the
best of the exchanges when the two
men were ordered to the corners,
Tenth-Slavin came up very
game but was weaker than he
| looked. After few exchanges
Jackson landed a swinging right
handler on Slavin's throat, sending
him against the ropes. Before Sla-

was on him with both hands. Sla-
vim became dazed from the effects
of the terrible punishment. The
negro fought him all around the
ring and succeeded in knocking
him out in the first round.
Jackson was declared the victor
amid terrific cheering.
Jackson tipped the scales at 1913

with Impotence. Considering pub

begged the press not to use any OBJ

to describe the contest as really a

vote of New York"
do you believe the report that
Blaine has informed Elkins he will
not accept the nomination if it

WHEELS BREAK In Two.
A Peculiar Coincidence on
Powell Street.
Gable Cars Break Down From the Same
Cause and ct the Same Time on Diff
srent Parts Of the Line.

Two cars on the Powell-street cable sys-
TEN ran amuck yesterday and caused their
inmates to think that the Angel Gabriel
had arrived with his warning notice.
Il was a strange accident, too. One of the
cars was toiling up the glade on Powell
street. near GesTy, when one Of the wheels
on the rear end of the car broke in two
pieces. 1t ceased to revoIve OF course and
il let down its end Of the traffic with haste
that caused the upper and lower teeth Of
the passengers to snap. Before the gripman
could release the grip and set the brakes
the passengers enjoyed several more
bumps" that caused them to forget all
about cholera, politics and prize fights.
The car was brought to a standstill and
the Jared and scared inmates were allowed
10 depart, which they did with some undue
haste.
BY strange coincidence another car Of
the same line was descending the Washing
ton-street grade, near Powell, at the same
time and met with similar mishap.
The coincidence was continued In as
much as the gold and composite filling was
Jared out of passengers teeth and they
abandoned the car with the same feeling as
If their spines had been driven through
their heads.
The cars that perpetrated these coinci-
dental jokes on the company and passengers
were, after much difficulty, relegated to the
side Of the street. and the accumulated cars
in the background were permitted to re-
sume traffic
The Powell-street cable officials claim
that an accident Of that kind is of very rare
occurrence. A wheel will occasionally
splinter, but they seldom break in two.
1t is presumed that in starting down hill
with the brakes on the wheel became heated
and then, on being suddenly cooled, it
cracked.
To whatever peculiar agency the acct
dent may be attributed the passengers don't
care to investigate, but they do hope that
nature will let the car wheels alone

Market-street Merchants Complain of n
Growing Theatrical Nuisance.
The junior partner of the clothing firm of
a. Summarized q Co. of $50 Market street
came down to his place of business early
yesterday to take a Sunday morning look
at the premises.
He was amazed and indignant at the
transformation that had taken place over
night In the appearance of his store front.
The theatrical managers Of this city, In
their pursuit of heap and cheeky means OF
evading legitimate newspaper advertising.
had plastered his front with colored posters.
Smal-siZed bill boards stood IN the doors
and along the windows, while every iron
column had its theatrical hanger.
Ills establishment, however, was not the
only one on Market street thus disfgured.
From Eighth street to the ferry house the
stores on that thor00ghfare On both sides
were plasiered in like manner.
1t seems that this practice has become a
growing evil, and the merchants regard it
as nuisance 10 be abated.
When the junior partner discovered how
his store had been used as a dead wall by
the thrifty theatrical managers he became
very angry and expressed his dispeasure
very emphatically.
He did not, however, confne his resent
ment TO words. He proceeded to attack and
demolsh the advertising paraph ernalia.
Down came board after board, and with
mighty swing OF his arms he hurled the Of

HEBREW FESTIVAL DAYS.
New Years Day and the Day
Of Atonement.
Extensive Preparations in Progress to Ac.
commodate the Various Congrega.
lions This Year.

On Thursday, the 23d inst, the Jewish
population scattered ali over the world will
celebrate their New Years day (Rosh
Hashdund) and commencing with the cele-
bration they will inaugurate series OF
holidays which will follow each other in
rapid succession.
New Years day, like most of the JEWS b
holidays, comprises really two days, and,
as is the universal custom among the
Israeltes. it will begin OH the evening of
September q.
All the religious observances of the
Hebrew faith commence at shutdown and
continue for twenty-fonr hours.
This years celebration IS, according to
the Hebrew calendar, that of the year 1862,
and according TO their reckoning it falls on
the 1st and I'd days of the month of Tishri
On September "a the Fast of GedaIiah
will be observed by the orthodox Jews, and
on October comes the day Of AtOnemeut
(Yom KippuT), a day which is more uni
versally recognized among the followers OF
the faith than any other.
The most liberal and progressive Jews
will accord equal honor to New Years and
Atonement day.
In this city already preparations are in
progress 10 accommodate the people who
desire to visit places of worship during
these holidays.
The synagogues Of the city are not suffi-
Gent to furnish seats for all the faithful
and Ii is the annual practice 10 hire halls and
fit them up temporarily as temples.
Such will be again the case this year, and
services will be held in many places not
regularly used for church purposes.
There are hundreds of Israelites here as
elsewhere who never step inside OF a syna-
gogue except during the season Of big holt
days, and therefore the seats ia the temple
are at premium on these occasions, and
even those in outside halls command a big
price.
The month of October brings number
of other minor holidays, but they are not
generally observed here, because the San
Francisco congregations of Hebrews are
mostly of the modern and progressive kind,
and the orthodox Jews are greatly in the
minority

popularity OF the arm Is that it has barrel
within a barrel. The inner is for the
charge, and the outer for the protection Of
the shooter There is Sn air space between
the shooting or true barrel and the envel-
ope. The true barrel is concealed from
view, except just at the muZZle. The air
space prevents the outer barrel or envelope
from becoming so heated from rapid firing
as TO burn the hands. The inside barrel is
secured 10 the casing at the breech end only.
