holly, laurel, smilax and palms. In the
arches leading from the main corridor
were festoons OF holly and laurel and
the windows were decked in the same
pretty way. Grouped around the
rooms in a very artistic manner were
large potted palms, while in every nook
and corner were beautiful lamps with
shades Of every conceivable hue, which
threw a soft radiance over the animated
scene.
The event was the reception and card
party given by Mrs. George Adams in
honor of Mr.. Charles List and his
charming bride of but few weeks.
There were large numb er of the inti-
mate friends Of the young couple pres

on both sides, and was as lively as during

nine, and Stoltzer managed to get away from

both men stepped up smiling, and for a few
seconds spared cautiously for an opening,
The first blow struck was by Och. IL was
q strong right which sent his opponent 70
the floor. Och stock took a sudden rise,
and there was no StOltzer money. Stoltzer
himself was evidently very much sur
prised IL was here that Och
displayed remarkable ignorance Of ring
tactics, If not of the rules. Instead Of
waiting until Stoltzer regained his feet,
and then following up his advantage, Och
walked over 70 his corner, and asked the
referee il the time was up. Then followed
a sharp Interchange Of blows with slight
advantage for Och. II was fierce fighting,
and both men stood the punishment well.
StoltZer landed his left on Och's face, and
Och dropped 70 the floor. Instead Of tax
advantage Of the ten secOnds-it was the
same throughout the ight-Och immediate
" got on his feet, and received a blow on
the neck which sent him to the canvas
again. Several times he regained his feet
and went down again to his hands and
knees. He was plainly winded when the
gong sounded, aud evidently surprised, and
the first knock-dOWn TO his credit rather
increased his confidence. There were sew
eral cries Of "foul" during this round. none
OF which were allowed by the referee.
StOltzer had the better Of the battle, and
looked like q winner.

larger and apparently in better condition
than StOltzer. Och's weight was given as
155 pounds, anC his opponent las. Och
looked to weigh about l55 pounds. He
wore dark trunks with white stripes.
Stoltzer wore DARK blue tights.

Gallard and Frlery. A BenwOOd Ciicer
who was present stepped into the ring and
examined the gloves, which were found 70

As the two men advanced 70 the centre
Of the ring 70 shake hands, Stoltzer had a
ten dollar note between his fingers. Speak

'Tl bet you $40 knock you out"
"I'm broke" said Och. Somebody take
