to finish, Gilbart having slight lead at
the finish. The fourth and last round
ended in Gilberts favor. Spanger proved
game 10 the last, but was outfoughs by
Gilbert. who proved the aggressor during
the contest. 1t was one of the best con-
tests, so far as good solid punching is con-
cerned. that has been seen by Olympians IN
Il long time.
Thomas Lyons (unattacheD and James
Fox bf the Acme Athletic Club, feather
weights, now appeared to contest for first
and second prize. Lyons settled down for
chance to land rlght-hand swing on his
clever opponent, hut failed to deposit his
bunch of fives. Fox spared nicely and
outpOinted Lyons from the standpoint of
boxer. In the second Lyons, who was
as strong as a bull, rushed madly at his
opponent and swung wildly at Fox's jaw.
The latter stopped him quite frequently
with straight lefis in the mouth. Fox had
the BITTER of this round. as he outclassed
his opponent In every point excepting wild
smuggling.
The third was a repetition of the pre-
cediDg round. Lyons landed one good
swing near the finish of the round. In
the fourth round Lyons tried some of his
foxy aud easily avoided punishment
Lyons, who was game, was outclassed in
almost every particular. Judgment was
rendered in favor OF Fox, who won first
prize.

The heavy weights Jack Kitchen OF the
Acme CLUB and John Miller. the man who
disposed of Sullivan on the first evening
of the exhibition. put in an appearance.
Miller's right eye was in mourning, and
Kitchen played for the left pepper, so as
to bring it on an equality with the other.
Miller was twenty pounds heavier than
Kitchen. Only a few blows were landed
in the first round, as Kitchen did not de-
sire to take any chances of being put out
by one of Miller's awkward swings. In the
secnnd Kitchen played for Miller's wind
aud got there few times lightly. Miller
was on the defensive.

The lightweights. H. j. Spanger of Sac

round was hot and Spanger was the re-
ceiver of heavy punishment. Spanger,
however, stood his ground and landed
some good let's on Gilbert's nose near the
finish.
The second was more stubbornly con-
tested than the first. and Spanger did much

LADIES' TOURNAMENT.
Miss Morgan Retains the Silver
Bowl.

The fourth quarterly tournament for
ladies' singles was PLAYED yesterday after
noon at the grounds of the California
Lawn Tennis Club.
There were only a small number of en-
tries. as many ladies' have not yet returned
fro9~>the country. Quite a number of
p<ctators assembled. however for the
e was one of unusual interest, owing
70 me fact that the possession of a hand
some silver bowl was involved.
by the rules of the club the bowl was to
bscome the absolute property of the cham
piOn IN three quarterly tournaments. Miss
Lord mad held it once, Miss Morgan. the
last champion. twice, and yesterday all the
members were anxious to see whether she
would make it her absolute property, by
winning third time.
-Four candidates entered yesterday to
contest The champ onsbip with Miss Nor
gan-Miss Lord. who mad been drawn TO
lay MISS Butler. and Miss Gibbs, who
played Miss Hoffman. Miss LORD played
with good deal f GOODNESS and energy,
taking some neat back-handed strokes ana
defeating ler adversary in two successive
love SETS
Miss Gibbs and Miss Hoffman played
two hotly cOntes ed sets, which aroused a
great deal of interest and applause The
serving Of both ladies was little lacking
Ia sHlitness ana style, but they made
some admirable returns. Miss Hoffman,
Ia particular. took some back-hat ded vol
leYs IN excellent style In the first set the
score was: Mis- Hoffman 6. Miss Gibbs >
Miss q bbs made spirlted fight IN the
second set. however, and 1t one time the
score stood five all deuce. Miss HOtf-
man won the advantage, however, ana the
game. The score III tie second set was:
Miss Hoffman T. Miss Glib ).
Miss Morgan ana Miss LJrd played three
SHARPLY contested sets. Every one fol-
lowed the games with great interest, ap-
plaudng All the z cd hits, and there were
quite "A num Der al them. In The first set
the score was: Miss LOld g. Mss Morgan 2 :;
ia the second. Mss Morgan Is, Miss Lerd /.
Inc hual set made Miss Morgan Tie win
Ter, TWO games ahead OF Mss Lord.
Naturally The interest OF the spectators
eliminated in the final sets, winch still
lay between Miss Morgan, and the cham
piOnship. Miss Hoffman had fav0rably
impressed every one with her ability by
her style Of playing, but she grew nervous
in her games with Miss Morgan and
scarcely ala herself justice. Miss Morgan,
on the contrary, rose TO the occasion. Her
playing was quiet and effective through
out, aud she showed no signs of fatigue.
The score for the first set was: Miss
Morgan q. Miss Hoffman O; the second set,
Miss Morgan 6. Miss Hoffman 3 This
hnal victory made Miss Morgan champion
for the third time in the clubs quarterly
tournament for ladies' singles and the
handsome silver bowl was presen ted to
her as her absolute property. amid the
congratulations of her friends.

A Queer TeiegraphIe Mistake.

The sending OF a telegram is, apparently,
u very simple matter, but occasionally an
evil spirit gets into the wires, and perverts
the original message into a shape which
causes wrath to the sender and much
mirth TO the locker on. A case in point
occurred few days ago. The telegraph
operator Of an engineering and construc-
ton party, mt work near Hanford, tele-
grabbed to friend of his in that town to
send him couple of lamp shades. and be-
Ing on intimate terms with the family, ad
ded his best regards to "Moliie," the
friends wife. La the cipher used on the
line, my best regards" is indicated BY the
words seventy three" The message when
sent read, "Seud me two lamp shades by
evening train. and seventy-three to Mollie. i"
When the dispatch was received it read.
"Seud me two lamp shades by evening
train, aud seventy-three tomales.''
The receiver read aud reread the mes
sage, almost doubling the evidence of his
own eyes. but ''seventy-three tomaies" was
there plain enough, aud the thing WAS TO
get the requisite number. The resources
OF Hanford in the tomato line were taxed
to their utmost, and that evening the
brakeman carried two large boxes TO the
telegraph car, dropped them on the floor,
ard banded the astonished operator note
Dear N-What do you want with sew

thinks there's the slightest chance of their
