four favorites, a second choice and a third

1t was a great day for Willie Sims, the
crack colored jockey, landing his four
mounts first, much to the profit Of those
who followed him. His success on Facto-

MEETINGS POSTPONED
So That All May Attend That of Gen.
Booth Next Monday Evening.


The Epworth League of this city was to
nave held a mass meeting on next Monday
evening. November 5, but has postponed it
on account Of the fact that Gen. Booth Of
the Salvation Army will hold his only
meeting In this city on that evening in Con-
vention Hall. For the same reason the
executive committee of the Christian En-
deavor Union Of this city has also post
poned the meeting which 1t was to have
held on the same evening. Other and small
er meetings have been postponed in differ
-ent churches. 50 as not to interfere with
Gen. Booths meeting and the general de-
sire to attend it. This desire is well re-
corded on the reserved seat sheet at
Dreop's, which thus early has numerous
blue and red pencil marks on it. Conven-
ton Hall is so large that there are, of
course, very many seats still for SALE in
GLIDING many of the best in the house. 1t
ought to be stated for the benefit of mem
bers Of the Auxiliary League, who have
been asked about tickets, that the only
place at which they can be had before next
Monday is at Droop's, 925 Pennsylvania
avenue.

the line Of industry. frugality and culture.
He advised the negro not to be afraid of
work, that labor. sacrifice and self-denial
were Indispensable elements in making a
true man.
The speech Of Mr.. Langston was In every

ing the parents of children to take more in
terest in the school.

Smith and O'Drien Draw,

More than five hundred men crowded into
the Lafayette Social and Athletic Club at
Boston last night to see the fight between
Mysterious Billy Smith and Richard
OBrlen. Both men fought hard. The fight
was declared a draw by Referee Murphy
at the end of the tenth round. O'Brien was
the stronger by far, but he had not the pun
ishing power Of his adversary. Smith was
under the stipulated weight Of 145 pounds,
while O. Brien was six pounds overweight.
Both men were strong and eager at the
close Of the tenth round.

Lavigne Defeats Griffin.

Kid Lavigne Of Saginaw, Mich, de-
feated John Griffin of Braintree, Mass.
last night at the Seaside Athletic Club,
Coney Island, at 124 pounds. in fifteen
rounds. Timothy Hurst, the base ball UNI
pire, was referee. Neither fighter did much
in the tame first round. In the second La
vigne did most OF the fighting and fought
his man all over the ring. From the third
to the seventh Griffin was outgeneraled
everywhere, and his gameness was COM
mended- Not until the tenth did he i'm
prove and get in few good right-handers.
In the last and fifteenth round Lavigne
rushed and downed Griffin as soon as the
two reached the center. The police inter-
fered and Iavigne got the fight.

SOME LIVELY SPARRING.
Two Fights Before the Eureka Club
Last Night.

The best sparring exhibition yet given
under the auspices of the Eureka Athletic
Club was the one tina. took place at their
club house across the Potomac river last
evening. There were but two bouts, but
they were good ones. There was a large
and enthusiastic attendance.
The first bout of the evening was be-
tween Johnny Glynn, champion Of Della
ware, and Sol. English, champion Of Mary
land. They were scheduled to fight fifteen
rounds. Stannard and O'Brien were be-
hind Glynn, and KIlrain and Billy Young
looked after the Baltimore boy. Snapper
Garrison, the well-known jockey, was the
referee. The boys weighed in at III
pounds, and put up as good q fight as has
ever been seen In this vicinity. Glynn
was decided favorite In the betting be-
fore the fight, the odds being as much as
10 to In his favor. The result, however
did not justify these odds by any means
The contestants fought fast and furiously
for fifteen rounds to a draw. Glynn was
the aggressor throughout, and did most
fine style, and showed himself a most clever
sparrer. Although almost entirely on the
defensive he took advantage of every open
ing and 1t was q question among the ex-
perts If he did not gain the most points.
Inasmuch. however, as neither had any
special advantage at the finish, the referee
felt constrained under the agreement be-
tween them to call the contest a draw,
decision that met with almost universal
approval Bob Cunningham of New York
and Joe Bateman of this city each ex-

Morris and Dunn.

The second bout Of the evening was be-
tween Fred Morris Of this city, otherwise
known as Madden's cyclone, and Bill Dunn
Of New Jersey, who has a long string Of
victories to his credit Dunn Is a white
man, while Morris is as black as the ira
ditional ace Of spades They were sched-
uled to fight twenty rounds, or more II
necessary, to determine which was the
better man. Fourteen rounds were suffi-
cient, however, to show that the colored
man as fighter was q much better man
than his opponent. Dunn showed himself
a good sparrer and hard hitter, but he
was not at all equal to the task of knock
ing out his elusive colored competitor. He
hit the latter hard and often, but appar-
emily did not injure him severely, and was
not so well able to stand the severe blows
he received in return. He put up an ex-
cellent fight, however, and It took fourteen
rounds of good square fighting to determine
the contest. Dunn was a better sparrer
than Morris, but he couldn't stand the
game so well. At the end Of the thirteenth
round he was pretty well winded, while his
antagonist, despite the many blows he had
received, was in good condition. In the
fourteenth round Morris went at his man
like a whirlwind. Dunn was too weak to
resist his rushes, and after receiving two
hard left hand punches on the jaw, laid
down and was counted out. Stanton Abb
bott, the English lightweight, and Billy
Murphy of Boston, were the timekeepers
of this fight.
