striving to get a chance for a mix-up.
Round 3-Van reached Buly's bread
basket with his left, and received one
of the same in return Van now began
to rush things. He reached Billy's side
with his right, and followed it up with
left Billy backed up against the
ropes, and Van gave him a sockdola-
ger on the jaw with his right, which
somewhat dazed Billy, and then a left
which sent him to the floor. AS soon as
Johnson got on his feet the men rushed
together like pair Of mad bul1ocks,
and there was some lively infighting,
ending with Johnson again going to the
floor. He was UP in am instant and
landed on Vans jaw, but the latter
rushed Billy into a corner, by sheer
weight and gave him a right and left,
and down the Sacramentan went again.
Regalning his feet he rushed at Van
and again there was a terrific short
arm battle in the middle of the ring,
Van having a little the best of it,
though Billy gave him a singer on the
ear just as the gong struck. Johnson
was visibly distressed, and it was evil
dent he could not long withstand Van
Buskirkis mad rushes.
Round 4-Van crowded his man into
corner and landed one of his swings, but
Billy countered. Then Van got In a
swing on the jaw which sent Billy to the
floor. AS soon as he got up Van rushed
at him and knocked him down again,
repeating the operation the moment
Billy got his feet under him. Johnson
displayed wonderful pluck. Although
dazed from the fierce blows he had re-
ceived he scrambled to his feet and met
his adversary halfway in fierce mix
up, which degenerated into a rough
and-tumble affair. In the midst of it
Van Buskirk landed several hard blows
and johnson went down. He stretched
himself out fat on his back and was
counted out

Out, When the Referee Gave the
Fight to the Australian.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Dan Creedon
OF Australia defeated Dick O'Brien of
Boston in the ninth round Of their battle
at the Broadway Athletic Club tonight.
OBrien showed himself a wonderfully
game man and a terror to take punish
ment. Though Creedon was tired at the
finish, he showed himself the best man
In every way.
About 1000 people We're present at
the opening bout, in which Billy Whist
Ter of Philadelphia and Eddy Curry
local boxer, were the principals. They
went the stipulated ten rounds at 12O
pounds and We're pretty evenly matched.
but Referee Roche gave the decision to
Curry. The verdict was roundly hissed
and hooted. 1t should have been
draw.
Inc big fellows We're not long in get
ting into the ring. Creedon was Sec
onded by Solly Smith, Jem Mace. the
eX-heaVy-weight champion, and Benny
Murphy O'Brien's seconds were Danny
Mcbride, Tim McGrath, Scotty Faux
ner and Jack Burns. Dick Roche was
referee, and Fred Fleck kept the clock.
-
Creedon. Both got into the ring at 9:35.
They fought at catch weights, Creedon
scaling 16l pounds. O'Brien at first re-
fused to give his weight, but later con-
fessed to lo1 pounds, though he looked
at least nine pounds heavier.
Round AFTER a moments sparring
Creedon showed a straight left into
Dicks face. He repeated a moment
later, O'Brien countering on the body.
O'Brien led twice, but was blocked. Then
he tapped Dan lightly on the face. They
exchanged lefts, and Creedon pushed
his glove into O'Brien's face. and the
latter slipped down. He got UP and sent
the right to the jaw, Creedon countering
On the body
Round 2-O'Brien led, but was
stopped. Dan sent hard right on the
wind and left on the jaw later. but
was well countered each time. Creedon
put left on the nose, and then sent a
right to the jaw, staggering Dick. Just
as the bell rang Dick put a hot swing
on the wind, but Dan only smiled
Round "a mix up, in which Creedon
was the best man.
There was very lively fighting in the
next two rounds, and at the end of
round six O'Brien sent a right to the law
that nearly knocked Creedon down. and
both were bleeding and almost groggy
when the bell rang
Round 7-O'Brien's left found the
nose, and Dan sent a hard one on the
wind. Creedon started in again with left
jabs in the face. The Australian fol-
lowed up, and put a hard left three
times on the jaw. O'Brien sent a warm
left on Dams jaw. Both We're very tired
when the round ended.
Round was a vigorous one Both men
We're game.
Round 9-Creedon sent his left to the
jaw. O'Brien mixed it up, but Creedon
quickly rained in shower of rights and
iefts that made the Boston boy groggy.
But he was game to the core. and Cree
don lacked sufficient strength to put him
out. He kept plugging Dick all over
the ring, and O'Brien was all but out,
when the referee stopped the bout and
declared Creedon the winner

EDWARDS DAVIS LECTURE.
A Pleasing and Enjoyable Entertain
ment Last Night.

An appreciative though not large au-
dience greeted Edwards Davis at the
new Christian Church at the corner of
Sixteenth and l. streets last night, to
hear his recita1-lecture on ''The Science
of Art
Besides being an orator of some dis
tinction, Mr. Davis proved to be equal
ly at home as a vocalist, pianist and
poet, and his lecture was interspersed
with music and poetry, much of which
was his own composition.
Throughout the lecture gems of
thought We're strewn, and each idea ad-
vanced was carried to it's logical con-
cluslon, and while much of the argu-
ment was intricate, it was at least in
tereStlng and, to some, instructive.

ANCIENT AND MODERN
 ORATORT.
Memphis Commercial.Appeai. l

lMemphis Commercial-Appeall
 Those who had the pleasure of listening 10 the speech of Hon. John R. Fellows last night at the !. Auditorium will be slow to admit that oratory is likely soon to be numbered among the lost arts, or that it is in any present danger of being consigned to the limbo of for gotton things. Apart and aside from the cause which he represented and the principles which he advo. cated, his speech was rare orator ical exhibition, treat seldom en- joyed, an effort seldom equalled. From the moment he uttered his first sentence, until, with cherubie grace and poetic dignity, he bowed himself to an applauding audience, every one presentrealized the power of the man, the potentiality of the orator, the irresistible influence of eloquence. Col. Fellows was in wretched voice. He was husky-al- most hoarse. Once or twice he struck a series of clear notes where the wonderful sympathy and liques- cent melody or his voice had full sway and the effect was maryelous. Col. Fellows has rot been under stood by Memphians. He has been represented as 9 student of Dem etrihs Phalereus, feeble, forid and

fowery; that he followed the style set by the sophists and rhetoricians
 who iiourished after the downfall of Greece; that he was q word painter, an entertainer wto could not in struct, an amusing speaker who could not eovninee. All this is wrong. Col, Fellows style is mod eled after Demosthenes, the last and greatest of the Athenian orators.
 He is intense, manly, vehement, clever in construction, a master of antithetieal Illustration, persuasive, convincing, truly eloquent He was confronted last night by an audience that was largely hostile to his mission, firmly set against his doctrine, deaf to ordinary argu- ment, intolerant of contention, but he won his way to the hearts of his hearers. He may have changed no man; opinion, but he did change many mans temper. Those who opposed him most energetieally and
 who still oppose him, were proud of him. proud to claim him as q fellow
 citizen, proud to feel themselves charmed by the grace Of his move ments, the beauty of his imagery,
 the opulence of his resources, the cleyerness of his argument, the force of his logic He was the ideal American; to many, an erring brother, but grand in his mistakes, splendid in his obliquities, charming in in his perversities, irresistible in the rapturous majesty of his accom-
 plishments. His easy flow of language soon mitigated the rigors of intense opposition, conciliated
 the animosities and irritabilities of dissidence and caused those who condemned his doctrine to applaud
 the method and manner of its pre- sen ntation. Col Fellows was con- vincing in one thing at least and
 that is that oratory is not a lost art. Ithas survived the strange muta- tions, the crumblings and decay Of things mundane. It is effective to- day and as well represented as when
 Paul appeared before Agrippa, as when Demosthenes thundered against Phillip of Macedon, as when Cicero electrified the Roman forum, as when Sheridan revealed the majesty of his mind and the music of his voice to the British nation, as when Burke robbed the Centuries, and laid the intellectual wealth of the ages at the feet of his country; as when Webster, and Patrick Henry, and William Wirt, and Cal houn. and Clay, and Prentiss swayed multitudes. Col. Fellows demonstrated, in spite of his mod esty, that the eloquence of Athens and the classic graces of the dead languages have not passed forever from earth, nor have they been im- paired by the commercial spirit of the times or the inflexible rugged ness of the English tongue.

TREASURE TROvE
Which Persistent SearcEer Fails to Flnd
Suit Brought

suit brought
NEW YORK, June S.-The World to-
morrow morning will say:
After twenty years spent in organiz-
ing and accompanying expeditions to
the uninhabited island of Cocos, 400 hum
dred miles southwest of Panama, where
he believed he would find the tens of mill
lions of treasure which the pirate, Nor
gan is said to have buried there, Rich
ard w. Armstrong of San Francisco has
come east to sue wealthy Boston man,
who, he says, stole his maps and discov-
cred his treasure. Waldor H. Phillips
has taken his case. In the forties Arm
strong says his father met an old Span
lard sick and without friends. He pro-
vided for him and on his death bed the
Spaniard confessed that he had been one
of Morgan's band and gave Armstrong
a drawing of Cocos island, by which he
said the treasure could be found. The
father died and several, expeditions
were fitted out but failed through fights
among themselves. Two years ago he
interested New York and Boston men
who backed an expedition Of twelve
men. Ten of them died from disease or
were murdered. Mr.. Armstrong re-
turned. While sick in San Francis
co Armstrong says an agen OF
the eastern men stole his map. An ex-
pedition was fitted out. he says, and the
treasure worth more than twenty mil
lions. was secured. Neither Armstrong
nor his lawyer would tell who the east
ern parties are. Cecilio Cado, consul
general of Costa Rica, says it was re-
ported some time ago that an expedition
had succeeded in getting the treasure
which Morgan's men had hidden on the
Island of CocOS.
