local sports, together with quite a num-
Der from Portland, Lewiston and Old
Orchard, saw good sparring exhibition

the management Of Dennis Delaney of
this city, we'll known sport. 1t was
the best exhibition ever seen here, End
the biggest array of fistic talent ever
taking part here.
Among those to appear were Wango
of Virginia, the Indian heavyweight,
and Mike Barry of Portland, ex-light-
weight champion of Maine. The Indian
is big fellow, and pretty lively on his
feet. Barry had the best of the first
round. In the second, Barry got several
good ones in the face. In the third, the
In dian did some clever ducking. Barry
got in few blows, but got mole in re-
turn including one in the mouth.
Don and Twigg, two Portland
youths, spared two rounds without
uel of Portland (colored, and Kearns of
Lewiston, boxed three ROUNDS. The
wind-up was between McGovern of Port
land and Boulanger of Blddeford. six
rounds Boulanger is very muscular,
but lacks in science. Boulanger forced
the fighting in the first round. The sec
ond round was a hot one, and Boulanger
had the best of it, although he is new
hand, and McGovern an old one. Bou-
LANCER forced the third, and got the best
of McGovern. Ed. Barry of Portland
has challenged Boulanger to fight his
brother within six weeks for $3.50.

LIEUT.. FILLETTE'S EsCAPApEs,
He Has Been Making More Evidence
for the Court Of Inquiry.

PORTSMOUTH, N H., jan 1.-The es-
capades of Lieut.. T. Glover Fillette. q. s.
M. c., who is to come before the naval
court of inquiry at the navy yard on Tues
day, have created a sensation in naval
circles in this vicinity. Several weeks ago
Fillette went to Washington as a witness.
and he did not arrive at the yard until
several days after he was due there. His
absence and the fact that his wife became
insane over it caused comment at the time.
Last week the Secretary of the Navy or
dered court Of inquiry to be held at the
yard to investigate the conduct Of Fillette
Since the hearing was ordered Lieut.. Fill
cite has been involved In two disgrac eful
occurrences On Friday well-known cit
iZen attempted to chastse the officer for
alleged insult to his young daughter,
but policeman interfered. Shortly after
o'clock Saturday morning two officers
found Fillette in Vaughan street resort
engaged in a rough and tumbling fight
with the proprietor He was taken to The
station, but was afterward released and
allowed to go to the yard.
On learning the facts the commandment of
the navy yard sent non-commissioned Of
ficer to this city to obtain written state
ments from the police and other parties. SO
the case could be reported to the Secretary
of the Navy.
1t is stated that Lieut.. Fillette intends,
if the charges are pushed against him, to
prefer charges against some of his superior
officers.
