There is something about this
quaint old comedy, with its con-

merable exciting incidents and its
unique conception, that seems to
maintain a hold on theatre goers.
Whatever may be said or written
of Charles l.. Davis, it must be ad-

the hotel, when two young white
men grabbed him, and one jerked

RING GOSSIP.

Unless FitZsimmons wins anoth'
er fight in the near future, he will
no longer prove drawing card
which fact was evident last night
when he appeared at the Grand
Opera house. There were not over
a hundred people in the house, but
these were loyal to the middle
weight champion, and they cheered
him when he made his appearance.
Fitz punched the bag and spared
four rounds with Jack Steiner.
Fitz continues to surprise people
that he intends to fight Corbett, as
the majority believe the Australian
wouldn't be in it with the gentle
man with the pompadour.
He seems to be very awkward on
his feet, and although he made a
monkey of Steiner last night, it is
hardly believed that he could
touch Corbett. Fitz no doubt has
better wind than Corbett, but Jim
can give him cards and spades, SO
to speak, and beat him in quick
ness. Corbett can also hit as hard
as FitZsimmons.
Hover that may be, both men
are talking too much for their own
good, and the public Is disguised
with both OF them. All eyes are
now turned toward Peter Maher,
who is considered the coming heavy
weight champion. Martin Julian
said yesterday to LIGHT repre-
sentative that Corbett has no right
to relinquish the championship
belt to Peter Maher. He says Fitz
is entitled to il, ii anybody is, be-
cause Fitz has defeated Maher. 1t
is hardly likely that Corbett will
ever fight again. He has quit train.
ing and has begun rehearsing his
new play.
With Corbett out OF the ring the
championship virtually rests be-
tween Maher and Fitzsimmons.
Notwithstanding the fact that FitZ
has defeated Maher, he has failed
to knock him out. Maher was but
% years old at the time and mex
perienced. He had Fitz all but
out in the third round. In
the eleventh round Makers nose
was clotted up with blood, and as he
could hardly breathe, he quit fight
ing. He had nobody behind him
and threw up the fight. Since then
Maher has learned great deal. |
He is in the hands of a good mana
ger, and he has improved in his
work. When he fought Hall he
knocked him down nine times in
four rounds and chased him all
over the ring.
Maher lost many friends in this
fight, for it was plainly seen that he
could have easily whipped Hall in
less than three rounds. But since
his victory over O'Donnell, the lad
from Erin's isle, is the idol OF
the pugilistic world, and promises
to out-rival the great John L. for
popularity.

The little party had chartered the boat
shortly after o'clock and it had
steamed about in the swarm of pleasure
craft that dotted the lake. At O'Clock
threatening clouds began to gather and
most of the boats began making fol-
shore. The launch did not heed the
warning and within a few minutes, when
it was opposite Lake Side park, the
storm broke in fury.
The boat seemed staggered by the sud
den shock of wind and changed its
course several times, as if at the mercy
of the elements. 1t finally righted itself
and continued up the lake. When nearly

had passed the steamer Majestic started
out in earch of the boat and the bod

gan floating near the shore a short dis
lance from the summer residence of rier-
bert A. Beidley. Miss Hogan wore a
fashionable dress with large puff sleeves,
and these sleeves were found to be full
of air, and, together with satche she
had in her hand, caused the body to
float. No trace of the other bodies has
been found, although the cap of the en-
gineer was picked UP near where the
body of the woman was found.
The launch was about 80 feet in length,
built of oak, brass trimmed and uphol-
stored with plush. 1t was brought here
by Mr.. Ide of Springfield, H., who used
it as private yacht. 1t had no deck.
and when last seen the parties had the
storm curtains down, which would nat
urally hinder the escape of the bodies
if they remained in the boat till it went
down.

The first big event was the Waukesha-
