SHARKEY AND CHOYNSKL,
Heavy Weight Pugilists Who
Will Box Eight Rounds
This Evening.
To Win the Long End of the Purse
Choynski Must Stop His
Opponent.

Ihe great f1stlc controversy between Joe
Choynski and Tom Sharkey will be de-
clded this evening at the Peoples Palace.
The betting on the contest was very
spirited last evening. Choynski was
strong favorite when the pools opened at
9 to 1, but before the wagering was brought
to a conclusion the supporters of Sharkey
appeared to be quite numerous in the bet
ting ring and the pools closed with
Choynski favorite at slight odds.
Sharkey is resting now and will be in
magnificent condition this evening when
he will toe the scratch against his formid-
able opponent. He has very little to say
regarding his chances against ChoynskI.
but there can be no gainsaying that he has
great confidence in his ability to stand off
the man who made such game battle
against Goddard, ''the Barrier champion, !"
and other noted pugilists whom Choynski
as met in the past five years.
81 know that there are many people of
sporting procIivities who actually believe
that l will prove chopping- block for
Chovnski," said Sharkey, when asked
what he thought his chances of success
would amount to against California Joe.
81 know that those wise men who think
that | am not fit subject to meet good
second-class man put their money on Sui
Hvan when he met Corbett, and suuealed
like pigs when they lost. They said the
same of Corbett as they say of me now, but
| think they will be fooled again. |
whipped every man l met so far, and l
think my chances of keeping Choynski
guessing for eight rounds are good
81 do not pretend TO say that can whip
Choynski, but / have all the confidence in
the world Of fooling a whole lot of those
fellows who think that | am the kind of a.
man that Choynski can do with as he
pleases. After the fight is over there will be
many know-it-ail sports who will have
good reason TO cusS their luck for betting
against Sailor Shark"
Choynski cannot venture an opinion as
to what the result of his contract with
Sharkey will amount to.
Il have never seen my next opponent
box" said Joe, therefore l cannot pre-
sumo anything. My manager, Parson
Davies, informs me that Sharkey is a
dangerous man; that he is as strong as a
carthorse and unquestionably game. I
put him up as being a second Goddard
but on smaller scale.
IF he can stand the same kind OF pun
lshment that gave the Australian he will
surprise me very much indeed, but I will
fight Sharkey on different lines, as | have
contract on hand to stop him in eight
rounds or less.
"Of course | expect to stop him. If he is
unguarded in his attack and gives me an
opening L think | can take advantage of q
shot at a bullseye. You can rest assured
leave an opportunity pass if | can help it.
l expect TO win because there is nothing in
it for me to lose, and that's all can saw to

The monument is intended to be twelve
feet high from the ground to the top of

have been carefully considered, so that this
simple pedestal reverts to the original idea
of shaft.
1t is intended to use Californian marble

green bronze with gilded sails.
The cost has been estimated al $1,000, and
only $500 is needed to complete that
amount. The Guild of Arts and Crafts is
satisfied that the balance will be con-
tributed Immediately, and it finds new
satisfaction in knowing that James D..

The Fife Meetings in Henderson.

An Eye Witness" writing to the
Oxford Public Ledger last week, said
this of the Fife meetings here:
Henderson is being stirred as never
before. All the leading men close their
places of business during the hours of
service. Warehousemen stop the sales
and 60 to the meeting. Men and
women hold prayer meetings separate
ly. Many family affairs are being
erected. The leading preachers and
all the best people are in sympathy and
to the front Burwell Hall does not
accommodate the vast crowds. People
90 long before the hour of service in
order to get a seat. Great crowds
from the country at every service. AS
many as fifty profess Christ at sim
gle service aud large numbers ask for
prayer. Prejudice and opposition is
melting away and it is believed that
Henderson will be taken for the Lord.

A Henderson Artist.

The Durham Sun last week paid the
following high compliment to Hen
derson young lady, Miss Lizzie Cheat
tingushed townsman DR.. w. L. Cheat
ham. We are sure it will be read with
interest and pleasure by the many ad-
miring friends of the gifted young
artist:
Did YOU see that large and beautiful
pain ting in the west window of Yearby's
drug store today? Ii not, you have
missed Il rare treat. 1t is hand work,
and was done by Miss Lizzie Chatham,
of Henderson, sister OF our highly es-
termed tOwns:nan, DR.. A. Cheatham.
Miss Lizzie is in the city visiting the fam
lily of her brother.
The subject Of the painting is Love
Adrift." 1t represents two lovers in a
boat upon the water. Cupid is in the
boat with them. The blending of the
colors in this painting is indeed fine and
in perfect harmony. The painting is
upon wool tapestry. The cloth alone
cost about S25.
Miss Cheatham is prepared to take
orders for hand painting. All work done
by her is of the highest artistic skill, and
most perfect blending and finish.
All who have seen the beautfn picture
in Yearby's window, pronounce it one OF
the most beautiful they have ever seen
on exhibition in this city. Ifyou doubt
it, go and see for yourself and you will
be convinced. All Durham citizens who
desire any hand painting done, cannot
do better than to consult Miss Cheat
ham.
