THE MASQUERADE
Miniature Mardi GraS at the Ar
mory Monday Night.
YOUTH AND BEAUTY BY THE SCORE
One Hundred Couples Present-The Sub
lime and Ridiculous Went Hand-in-
Hand-A Grand Success.

There was a sound of revelry by night +"
The armory Monday evening presented
a scene seldom witnessed in city the
size of Aberdeen. The members of the
fire department had declared they would
have the largest and most enjoyable ball
OF the season and they proved themselves
prophets of the first watei The hall was
handsomely decorated with bunting, Sec
tions OF hose, fire extinguishers and other
fremen's paraphanalia, all beautifully
interviewer with evergreens and words of
welcome. On the east side of the room
embowered in flags and greens stage
had been erected for the musicians. Be-
fore the entrance, curtain-like, hung two
large flags. In the second story of the
building convenient dressing rooms had
been arranged for the ladies and smoking
rooms for the gentlemen, back of which
in large hall two long tables groaned
beneath the choice edibles prepared for
the merry-makers.
At 0 80 the ball opened with the grand
march, in which most motley as well as
beautifully costumed lot of dancers partici-
pated. There wree dudes and dudesses,
hobgoblins and fairies, monks and nuns,
old men and young, sedately and ridicu-
lousy marching through the pretty
figures led by A. A. Brauer. Every avail
able space along the walls was filed with
laughing spectators, many of whum after
the opening figures joined in the dancing.
1t was impossible to count the couples,
but judging by the tickets taken at
the door it was estimated thaY at IL
o'clock, the hour for unmasking, fully no
couples were dancing. In fact every
inch OF floor space was occupied and the
crowding was fearful, but everyone was
in good humor and took their bumps
without complaint. Twenty-four dances
were on the program, but during the sup
per interim the music was kept
going by volunteers and several
extra waltzes were added to
the list. The ball was a grand
success, and the various committees in
charge fulfilled their duties so, well that
nothing was left undone to addto the en-
joyment of the evening, and all who par.
ticipated in the festivities will long re.
member the hospitality of the Aberdeen
fire laddies. The net receipts of the
evening were about $75.

authority, that the special inspector Of
the general land office, who was here last
month, has reported TO that Office that all

LONDON, June 1.-The National club
was crowded to suffocation Monday
night with spectators anxious to witness
the Standardization fight. The entrance
became so much INSTRUCTED by the
crowd that the owner of the building
refused to allow any more enter with
out a ticket. Two hundred policemen
kept order outside the club house, where
surging mass had assembled with the
expectation Of being admitted
Lord Lonsdale opened the proceedings
with speech, and the fight then be-
gan. Tom Williams and Tom Burrows
were Slayin's seconds, and the latter's
brother held the bottle. Jackson's sec
onds were Parson Davies and Joe Choy-
inski.
Up TO the fourth round neither man
had amy especial advantage Both set a
hot pace ard worked hard for the van
tage ground. In this round jackson
reached hard ON Slavins stomach, and a
second later got in on his mouth and
nose, draw ing first blood.
The fifth and sixth rounds were in
favor of jackson, who punched his OPP
ponent in the stomach, and got one in
on the eye, raising lump and pretty

was the cause of the failure of each
match.
They have both fought and whipped
the same class of men. As a rule, Slavin
has put his men TO sleep more easily than
the dusky fighter has accomplished the
same feat
The styles of fighting common TO these
giants are exactly opposite. Jackson
takes things easily. He depends upon
his cleverness and long reach to keep his
opponent off. He relies upon his skill
and powers of endurance to tire out his
man. He can deliver good stiff punch.
He does not try to whip his man with a
single blow, but by repeatedly landing
ON the vital spots.
Slavin is a rusher. He sails right into
his man. He has powerful right half
arm blow that is capable of doing seri-
GUS damage if properly landed.
The present match was brought about
in curious way. The officials of the
National club of London have tried to
get jackson and Slavin together several
times. Last fall Slavin began talking
about fighting John l.. Sullivan. He
made visit to America with Charlie
Mitchell, and proclaimed far and wide
that he would meet the American cham
pion.
When Sullivans hacker pinned Slavin
down to putting up the money he failed
to come to time. He took ON the match
with Jackson in a hurry, and used it as
a hedge, behind which he did his talk
ing. He has tried to get out of his
match with jackson several times, but
jackson held to his end of the agree
