Martin Julian for Fitzsim mons ex-
hausted his list when he named Hiram
Cook as his choice. and Danny Lynch for
Sharkey says he has no choice at all, be-
cause he knows no man here well enough
TO name him as a competent referee.

Mr.. Cook" Lynch said last night.
No doubt he's good man. honest and
capable. He has shown himself as such

when the former met Choynski and after
ward Corbett, he was defrauded OF his
rightful victory by reason Of a wrong de-
cision. Hence. in this, the battle of the
sailor lads life, they want man they are
satisfied will be honest and impartial.
On the other hand. Martin Julian, who
settles all business matters for Fitzsim-
mons, is positive that his principal cannot
lose the battle in fair fight. He does not
want referee who can be intimidated
into allowing foul tactics, but one who will
be stroDg-minded enough to decide against
the foul tighter at any stage of the ten
rounds.
At all events the referee question will be
decided at noontime to-day. At IL clock
in the morning the parties interested will
come together and will have one hour in
which to make a selection. and failing,
the matter will revert to the club man
ayers.

free from any other characteristics that
might make their story incredible.
Hindry was rather averse to talking
about what he had seen, but as it had
somehow reached the ears of all the
students, he thought best to give an ac-
count of it. In substance he stated that
he was looking out of his window when
some one called his attention to the pecu-
liar antics OF one of the lights in the
heavens, resem bling very large star or
planet. Il watched the light pointed out
and thought it was planet at first, but
when the darn thing began to rise and
sink and to shoot rapidly from one side
to the other l knew enough about astron-
omy to know that it was no star or planet

many miles off when we saw it, and was
going in northerly direction toward San
Francisco. Pllswear don't know whether
1t was a real airship or a fake I'm in

r. S. Garfield also saw the light, and
fully corroborated Hindry's accounts of
its appearance and motions. 1.-The light
was in part of the heavens where there
was no other large star, and it was so
noticeable that watched it, thinking it q
planet and wondering which one it could
be. Then it commenced to rise and sink,
and little later flew off at tangent as
though struck by gust of wind. / called
up my roommate and let several other
fellows know about it, and we watched it
until 1t faded away in the distance. 1
wouldn't bet that it was an alrship, but if
it was not it was most ingenious con-
trivance and gave very powerful light. 4"

SAW THE AIRSHIP.
Graphic Tale Told by Son of Pro-
fessor Gibson of the Normal
Training-SChOol.

Trainings
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. Case Gilson
young electrician of this city, declares
that he has seen the airshIp at close range
and is able to describe it.
Case Gibson is son of Professor ellison,
ex-Superintendent OF Schools and princi-
pal of the Normal Training school. His
testimony is supported by other young
men who saw the strange aerial navigator
at the same time.
'tThe airship was moving very rapidly
from the southeast toward Lorin, and not
a light was visible said ellison. 1T was
about 1000 or 1900 feet in the air and
looked like a great black cigar with fish
like tail. If it had side propellers they
were revolving so rapidly that l could not
see them. The body was at least hun
dred feet long, and attached to it was a
triangular tail, one apex being attached to
the main body. The surface of the air.
ship looked as if it we're made of alu-
minum, which exposure to wind and
weather had turned dark. 1 saw all this
distinctly, and l am willing 10 take any
oath to the truth of what 1 say.
THE airship went at tremendous
speed. AS it neared Lorin it turned
quickly and disappeared in the direction
of San Francisco. At half-past we saw
it again, when it took about the same di-
rection and disappeared. [ have studied
the subject of airships to a certain extent
and see no reason why one should not
be successful. 1 know that l was not
mistaken about the airship and took a
kite for the real thing. 1t was an airship;
of that 1 am convinced"
ellison and his friends saw the airship
twice during last Thursday evening at 8
and $3.50 o'clock. The skies were perfectly
clear, and a strong northwest wind was
blowing. The airship was moving rapidly
from the southeast toward the north in
the teeth of the wind. No light was visi-
BILE, merely the weird, peculiar body
silhoueted against the clear skies. Case
ellison, his brother, and the Petah broth
ers distinctly saw the strange sight, and
Gibson describes its appearance very
graphically.

ton. What served to attract the greatest
amount of attention was the peculiar
quality of the light, which did not present
the characteristics of the ordinary electric
light or of the gas lights that people are
accustomed to. Many who were inclined
to be skeptical beforehand are now firm
believers in the existence of this wonder
full and mysterious visitant.

the Chicago Tribune. The impression
