YOUNG CRITIC

But IL Is all over now. Last night, after
one Of the hardest fights seen in Boston,
Critic was declared the winner at the
end OF the eighth round. Murphy was far
from being used up, but the men had
agreed TO have a decision on the merits
OF the fight, and 30 Referee DAILY gave the
award to Critic.
The pair met In the Casino, before 250O
spectators, and although Murphy was the
popular one before the contest began,
Critic made many friends by his great
hghting qualities and his ring general
ship.
The Battle by Rounds.
II was 9:45 when the men entered the
ring. They lost no time In getting to
Rether after the call. Murphy was the
first to lead, landing a light one on
Griffo's nose. In rapid exchange, Critic
landed his right twice lightly on Muir
phys eye. II was an even thing to the
finish, although Murphy's eye showed
where Critic had landed.
The second round was warm. Murphy
let go his right again, but this time Critic
was too quick for him and had put in his
right on Billy's stomach before the latter
could get away. 1t was give and take
for the next minute, with the odds bit
In favor of Murphy. Toward the close
Critic secure first blood, landing his left
on Murphy's nose with good effect.
Murphy seemed tired when the men re-
,sponded for the third round, and Griffo
went at him with view to finishing him.
In this he was fooled. for Murphy was all
attention when Griffo came for him.
Murphy went to his knees from q right
handler on the jaw, but was mp at once
and hot at it. Murphy was surprising
even his staunchest admirers by his
stand. He managed to get In a few good
ones on Griffo's body and tried hard to
land his right but Critic wouldn't let
him.
Critic got In his left twice In rapid sue
eession In the fourth round The blood
began to flow down Murphy's chest, but
this didn't seem to bother him bit. for
he was fighting all the time. Critic was
doing all the leading, while Murphy
seemed content to wait and try to land
his famous right 1t wouldn't work.
however, as Critic evidently knew what
IL meant to have It land and
Fought Very Shy.
The fifth and sixth were warm; and al
though both men landed many blows,
none Of them had strength to floor.
In the seventh, Murphy did get his
right In on Griffos neck, but the blow
glanced off.
The eighth and last round was trying
one for Critic, but he kept his head we'll
and let Murphy tire himself out. Murphy
had a dU.pr-die expression on his face
when the men were called to the center.
He made straight for Griffo's body and sue
ceeded in getting in few hot ones, while
the latter was thinking about it. He next
landed his left on Griffo's face. In the
last minute Murphy got a few good ones
on the body aud a stiff one on the face.
The men shook hands, and then Referee
DAILY gave the bout to Griffo amid Kisses
and cheers.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Lothrop's Grand Opera House

Lothrop's Grand Opera House.
The entertainment presented at the
Grand Opera House this week Is some-
what different In character from those
which have recently preceded II, and will
prove very attractive to people who are
fond OF thrilling situations and highly
wrought climaxes. IL would hardly be
fair TO give the story OF the play in full
that is best learned from seeing the per-
formance itself. IL Is enough to say that
1t combines In skiliful way all the ele-
ments of vice punished and virtue re-
wardec, OF duplicity foiled and honesty
coming by Its own, together with just a
sufficient seasoning Of fun and humor, all
mingled together and served up In a way
to tempt the palate of an epicure or satisfy
the cravings OF a gourmand.
Robert Roman, the hero, is finely
interpreted by Charles Barringer,
who, as the missing heir, adds
mnch to the favor and esteem In
which he was previously held by Paw
tucket audiences. Mr.. Perry makes OF
Willard Burford "villilnous cuss" who
ought TO have been put IN prison sooner,
and kept there longer, than, according to
the plot, he actually was. Frank Warren,
son OF the faithless guardian" sinned,
but repented," is a jolly, happy young fel-
low who deserves the good luck that falls
to his lot, and Lanty, poor half witted
Lanty, wins the sympathy and good Will
OF the audience even before no is "oper-
ated upon" for the first time, and thereby
restored, partially at least, To his right
mind. The ladies In the cast are all de-
serving of especial praise. Miss Viola
Bancroft as Fabrianette IL winsome, at
tractive and very charming. Miss Es-
telle Keene as Fayette Harrington "de-
spises oil men" in the early part
OF the play In fine style, but
succumbs to the master passion
very gracefully when occasion demands II
and "the lamp IL turned down." And
Miss Emma Dunn as Nora-well, II she
didn't suggest the song "Nors is my Dar-
ling" II is only because its author hadn't
seen her as Nora In the play. Her brogue
IL delicious, and her little bit OF duet
with Lanty nobly deserved the encore II
received. IL IL not often that three such
handsome women are seen on the stage at
one time.
Remember the matinee on Wednesday
and when you buy your tickets, look at
those two play bills, one on each side OF
the box Office window. They are over AZ
years old and quite a curiosity.

"rhe Hustler" at Keith's Opera House
last evening was witnessed by large and

OF vocalists and speciality artists, who as.

The exhibition was clumsy and un-
