| A triangular discussion is now in progress
regarding the proposed bear and lion con-
test in Boone's Arena at the Mldwinter
! Fair.
Colonel E. Daniel Boone positively an
nounces that the mach Will take place
next Saturday evening. The management,
| through the directoT-general, has mildly
demurred to the fight. Sskiyou, the bear.
and Parnell, the lion, are perfectly willing
1 that the me6uug SUOulu tdko DldCc. tuc
| ion leading in e6geruess. me Society
| for Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals de-
| clares firmly that the fight Will not be per-
miited.
| In answer to the letter of Director-Gen-
| eral De Young. informing Colonel Boone
| that he had no rnncession for animal bat
| ties, the lion-tamer sent a communication
Yesterday. The purport Of the reply is
| that the contract with the fair comedies
Boone "lhe right to conduct show siml-
| lar 10 that Of Ragenbeck in Chicago" and
| that the latter had lions, bears and pan
theirs in his arena a. the same time, per-
| forming various tricks.
| Continuing, Boone writes that his con-
test will be parallel case. He concludes
BY the following diplomatic utterances:
NV tickets and advertis- ments read "wres-
| ting match" and do not anticipate any night
be ween the two animals. II such Thing
should happen IL would only be common
"arena" occurrence, and no prison can doubt
my ability TO stop II. We have from the outset
| gwen performances by wrestling bears ana AMI
| mails and have never I'D 10 this time had any
| fight lake place be ween them tina has not been
stopped by me, all hough such differences have
| and do occur, as they always Will between fers
nature.
Freaerick A. Osborn. one of the execu-
tive Officers of the Society for the Preven-
| ton of Cruelty TO An mails, smiled satiri-
! cally when Boone's communication was
| quoted TO him last evening.
That's a very clever bluff about the
wrestling MATCH" be said. "Of course
! every one understands that he contest will
be a fight and fight to the death. Do you
suppose any one is going to pay $50 to see
a bear and lion IN a trick wrestling
match?
Suppose the two savage animals began
quietly enough they would undoubtedly
| begin lighting very soon. When the lion
tastes the bears blood. who is going to
separate them? Colonel Boone does not
| even promise TO interfere
81 understand that Parnell is as thin as a
racehorse and hat he has been INSULT
GENTLY fed To make him more savage than
| when he killed his trainer.
"Ynu can just BET your money that there
will be .ieither fight nor wrestling match.
The society will exercise IS prerogative,
and the law empowers its officers 10 pre-
vent any occurrence which will lead to
| cruelty. 1t Is not necessary to wait until a
cruel act is committed, or until the fight
has commenced. We can and will act be-
| fore its ince Dtion. even.
In the meantime Colonel Boone has let
contract for strengthening the iron cage
| where the animals are to be pitted. The
arena will be made more secure by iron
Orders. Parnell roars out his anticipa-
ton of the fray and Siskiyou basks in the
sun and says nothing.
The arrangements for the celebration of
the AustTo-Hungarians to-day have been
| carried out in a manner which guarantees
a successful day from every standpoint.
| The parade starts from the corner of New
| Montgomery and Mission streets as soon
| after 10 Il S poSslb 1t will certainly ar
rive at the exposition grounds by noon.
AT 2 p. NJ. he exercises in Festival Hall
! begin. There will be addresses 10 Eng
| lish and in German, and poems In Hun
garian. This entertainment will probs bly,
occupy at least two hours during the after
noon, and the rest of the day will be spent
] by the visitors among the objects Of gen.
eral interest at the exposition.
L. NJ. Thurston, the Hawaiian Minister
| to Washington, has been warned that the
royalists at Honolulu are medtating a
| flibustering expedrion to recapuie the
royal throne which Thurston smuggled out
of the palace. with the connivance Of the
Provisional Government, to exhibit at the
exposition.
As outlined the scheme. which Is being
/ engineered by ex-Marshal Wilson, The
/ ophiluS T. Davies and other rOyalists is to
secure possession of the throne by any
means necessary and return it to Homo
! lulu, there to keep it in readiness for
! kaiulanps OCCUPANCY when that young
woman is prepared to assume the duties
| and emoluments of sovereignty.
An extra guard TO watch the throne has
been detailed at the present quarters of
the high-oacked red satin chairs, wherein
Liliuokalani sat- The feroeious Opu is
CAPTAIN of the guard and Nunumet leuten-
ant They daily arm themselves with
clubs and sharp knives and vow extrava-
CANT threats against any interloper who
may touch the royal trappines.
The royalists in Honolulu were furious
at the vandalism which permitted the
throne to be carted about by showmen.
They have protested violently against its
being taken to other cities. and Thurston
q Co. have promised that at the end of the
fair all The imperial insignia shall be
| placed In Bishops museum in Honolulu.
AT the request of hundreds of musical
connoisseurs, Hilmar St-phany has con-
sen ed TO repeat the rendition of Ludwig
! Van Beethoyen's ninth symphony, which
! drew the immense audience at the Metro
| politan Temple last Friday.
