crowd attracted showed that interest

questions OF Judge Desiardins, Charles
DeLesseps sketched briefly his duties
in tho Panama Canal Company,
lie managed most OF the business
connected with the advertising and the

employed for these purposes by his
father, As secretary general, he had
given regular reports OF the company's
proceedings to his father. "ln 1885 you
asked the government to introduce in

"But we could not mako an enemy ot

you pay money to all the banks
under the influence OF Girnrdin you
will have all the newspapers in Paris

such methods; the newspapers at
tackled us and wa were finally driven to
paying out enormous sums right and

"I.eave the government alone" called
Judge Desjardins sharply.
After roproaching NJ. NDe Lesseps for
having paid so much money belonging

Desjardins asked:

was for the largest purse ever fought
for in the ring. A magnificent crowd
in point OF size and personol saw great
battle tonight, victory won and
defeat suffered. Tho scene waa the
most superbly appointed fistic arena in
the land, an arena that had grown like
tho legendary beaustalk, almost In
day. The interest tonight was not as
great by many degrees as on the occa-
sion Of the battle for heavy weight su-
premacy last September, when the pom.
derous puglistic idol OF the country
was laid low by the modern prize ring
David, but the fight tonight was never
theIcss tho most important and most
general subject OF conversation this
evening on tho streets, in the clubs, IN
saloons and in parlors.
So closely was the match considered
that for long time even money was
wagcd on either, the pool rooms letting
the better take his choice. Hall prom.
lsed 10 90 to the ringside favorite, and
there was truce OF spite In that. The

to have mastered the art OF producing
the maximum OF effect from the mini
mum Of effort
His long, lean and muscular arms
and legs looked TO be made OF whale-
bone and catgut, but by no stretch OF
Imagination could they be called pretty.
His broad shoulders were ribbed with
gnarled masses OF muscle that Curled
and rolled up and down beneath his
clear white and delicate skin at every
motion OF his long arms In a way that
boded i'll for his antagonist. All over
his broad and V-shaped chest rugged
knots OF muscle stood out in we'll de-
aned lights and shadows. Ills long,
sinewy legs, though not by any means
large or handsome, seemed full OF
power and activity and abundantly
able to carry the rest OF his anatomy

both are credited with extraordinary
skill and speed. But as they sat in
opposite corners Of the ring one could
not but bo impressed with the marked
contrast they presented. Fitzsimmons'
pink and white skin contrasted stongly
with Halls, which was "as brown as
a berry" Though Hall is unquestlon-
ably tho heavier man OF the two. he
does not look as large as the red-headed
blacksmith. The principal reason for
this is that Hall is built upon more
