A Fine Program for the Athletic
Club
THE GREAT GLOVE CONTEST
Billy Gallagher Will Meet Harry Slater
In a Fifteen.ROund Go
An Excellent Card of Bicycle Races at
Pasadena-Also Football Match,
Throop and st. Vincents

Pleasant weather, good entry list
and a fast track promise an exciting
days sport at Athletic park this after
noon. Everything points to exciting con-
tests in the different events, most of
which have big entry list. The bicycle
and running races have an exceptionally
large entry and will bring out some dark
horses that will keep the old timers
guessing.
The 1OO-yard dash, novice, with five
entries, will possibly be run under IL
seconds, as Jackson of Santa Monica
Bright Avery, Leland and Austin are
all speedy men, and can come pretty
close to that mark The same men are
entered in the 100-yard handicap, and
with the addition of Sheckles, Mueller,
Brock and Wright, ought to make a very
close race. The handicaps have not yet
been announced, but it is pretty safe to
say that Sheckles and and Mueller viii!
be started from scratch. The 440-yard
run will be an exceptionally hard race
between Cooper, Dufiil Mueller, Spen-
GER and Morrill,. Cooper and Duffil are
both new men, but are said to be speedy
The mile, novice, bicycle, will have to
be run in heats, owing to the large entry
riders, but that will not make the races
less interesting, as these are the men
who get out and fight hardest for place.
The mile, open. promises to be the most
exciting event of the day There are
twelve entries in this event. which will
also necessitate it being run in heats.
The three mile handicap is bound to
be good race, as it always insures a
hard ride and has some of the old ia
vorites on the scratch. The jumps, ham,
mer throwing and hurdle race will be
good cards and furnish plenty of eX
citement to the lovers of athletics.
The sports begin at 2:30 p. M, thus
giving every one a chance to witness the
games on top of good turkey dinner.
Fay Stephenson. the popular announ-
cer has charge of that duty tomorrow,
and will be one of the features of the
days sport.
In the evening the club will give an
other of it's popular boxers nights, when
Billy Gallagher of Oakland and Harry
Slater of New orleans will come together
for a 15-round exhibition. Both men
are in excellent condition and confident
of winning. Several interesting prelim-

APOLLO CLUB CONCERT.
An Interesting Performance Given at
the Los Angeles Theater Last Night.

The Apollo club of this city, after two
years silence, has been resuscitated,
and gave its first concert of the season
at the Los Angeles theater last evening
before a fairs sized audience. The men,
bers of the club, consisting of twenty
male voices, under the leadership of Mr..
Robert T.. Paulsen. acquitted themselves
very credtably, though their efforts
showed plenty of room for Improvement
in the way of earnest and careful prac-
tice. The club has undoubtedly some
good material, and with more training
will be certain to make rapid progress to
the benefit of time, tone and tune. The
selections last night included Macy's
Rosebud Fair and Simple Simon. Caym's
Bye Land Hodges Seepest Thou
Still, Dudley Bucks arrangement of An
ME Laurie, Abt's Ave Maria with So
prano solo, Lamothe's Breeze of the
Night, and Campanas Scout.
The club was assisted by Nine. de
Seminario, a soprano from San Fran
cisco, who has a powerful and clear
voice, spoilt, however, by an excessive
and exasperating use of the tremolo,
and by Miss Lille Scanlon, we'll known
contralto of this city, who has delight
fully musical voice but must pay atten-
ton to articulation.
The active members of the club are as
follows: A. d. Coombs, II. p. Flint, j.

THE DUKE AT BRUSSELS
Attempts to Stir Up the Royalists
Proved Unsuccessful

BRUSSELS, Nov 25.-The duke of
Orleans and his bride, the Archduchess
Maria Dorothea of Austria, arrived here
today The greatest efforts were made
to make their arrival the occasion Of
royalist manifestation, but the plan
failed owing to the attitude of King
Leopold, who discountenanced it. The
duke and duchess were met at the rail-
road station by a few members OF the
royal family. The royal waiting room
of the depot was closed and the travel
ers were conveyed in ordinary carriages
to their hotels, where few royalists
were in waiting and presented them
with their congratulations.

.Michelet, for instance who so far forgets
himself and history as to call the poor
lady a great red camel; others, siding with
chivalrous Sir Walter, boldly endow their
martyred Queen and mistress with rich
dark brown tresses. It should not be for
gotten, however, that red hair, even modest

early years Of our century. whereas, under
the Valois no one with any pretensions to
elegance could be seen wearing 1t black In
