That the Las Vegas Military band is
fully appreciated was demonstrated last
night, by the attendance at the concert
and ball given by that organization. The
concert which was necessarily short, con.
sisted of two selections by the full band
and two by a quintet, composed OF four
comets and one tenor, from the bands
membership.
Although the concert was enjoyable, ths
dance was the feature of the evening.
The grand march started at $3.50 with
about forty couples in line, and dancing
was continued until 8 O'Clock this morning.
The music was furnished by j. A. Hand
and orchestra of which organization, the
band claims a major part, and was, as is
needless to say, splendid. A lunch Of Ice
cream, cake, coffee, cold meats, etc., was
served at the price of twenty-R v cents
per plate, which was pronounced by all, to
be equal to the best ever spread on a like
occasion. and this alone netted the band
almost $50. 1t is expected that about 500
will have been cleared toward uniforming
the band.

mosphere was reproduced so faithfully in his pictures. His humor was seldom very rich or very deep, but 1t was not devoid of either sparkle or snap, and was eminent alike for its truthfulness and its refinement He could fire with unerring aim at folly as at flies, but his attack was ever free from all malice and vulgarity. As book Illustrator he often proved himself master of pathos as we'll as of humor, and many of his plates are noteworthy for strength and dignity as well as tender ness. Admirable specimens of his work are to be found in his illustrations to "Esmond," "The Story of the Feath- CT" in Thackery's Ballads" and other books and in number of magazines. He painted, also, with charming effect in water colors, and an exhibition of his work in this medium was held in London in 1888.
 This is not the time or place to dis cuss his ultimate place in the world of authorship. It is sufficient to refer to the extraordinary popularity of his stories Peter Ibbetson," his first nov el published in 1891, was a surprise to those who had not suspected his liter ary capacities, and his "Trllby," as everybody knows, commanded an enor- nous sale, and in its dramatic form is still filling theaters on both sides of the Atlantic. The excitement attending this extraordinary and unforeseen popu- ] larity is said to have been one of the chief causes of his physical breakdown. He lived long enough to read all but l the very last proofs of his third book,

HOW THE BATTLE
WAS FOUGHT

| The first man to enter the ring wa.
Fitzsimmons, who stepped through the
ropes at 1000 P. NJ and was cheereo
loudly. He was covered by light-col
ored bathrobe. and was followed by hi.
seconds, Manager Julian, Dan Hicky and
Jack SteIzner. He Immediately crossed
to the west side of the ring, reached down
ana shook hands with Major Frank Nc
Laughlin. Master of Ceremonies Billy
Jordan undid the parcel holding two pairs
of gloves and handed them to Captain OF
Police Whitman, who examined them
looked satisfied and tossed them on the
floor in the center of the ring. Fjtzsim-
mons went back to his corner after his
short chat with Major Mclaughlin, and
sat down, rubbing his feet in the rosn
before him. Then he arose and walked
back to where Major Mclaughlin was Sit
ting and they had anothsr short converse
tion.
Four minutes later Sharkey came from
his dressing-room and climbed through
the ropes into the ring. accompanied by
his manager, Danny Lynch, and his train
ers, Danny Needham, Australian Billy
Smith and George Allen. He was re-
ceiyed with great applause, receiving a
much better rece ption than did Fitzsim-
mons. He had on light robe, similar to
his opponents.
Fitzsimmons then rose from his seat.
walked over to Sharkey's corner, which
was the southwest corner of the ring, and
shook hands with him. He walked back
to his corner, turned around and spoke to
one OF his seconds, laughing at the same

helped Sharkey through the ropes after
knocking him in that position he had the
crowd to a man.
Sharkey's persistent attempts to throw
Bob by catching him by the legs, and his
striking in cinch after agreeing in the
ring not to do so, showed very unfavor-
ably against the Cornishman's fair break
Always.
The rawness of Fakir Earps' decision
was emphasized by the action OF the
sailors friends after he had been carried
to his dressing-room.
When they were asked about his condi-
ton they said he was badly hurt and that
a physician was with him.

time. Fitzsimmons we,shed in at 1857
ounds and Sharkey at 182.
Fitzsimmonsa sat in his corner with a
very confident air, leaning his arms on his
legs, which were spread far apart. Sharkey
sat perfectly still and erect, listening to
something Billy Jordan was saying to
him. Martin Julian and Danny Need
ham were engaged in an animated con-
versation, evidently about referee, along
side. The men remained this way for
several minutes, while the crowd talked
and yelled, and yelled and cheered alter

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-12-03

There was evidently trouble about the
referee. They both crossed the ring and
talked with Major Mclaughlin.
At 1916 O'Clock Sharkey threw aside
his robe and stepped to the center of the
ring, when Billy Jordan introduced him
to the crowd as Thomas Sharkey, the
pride of the American navy and the
champion of the Pacific Coast" He was
received with great cheering. Sharkey
was clad in green tights, with the Ameri-
can flag draped as belt. He looked in
splendid condition, though perhaps . lit
tie finely drawn.
Sharkey walked back to his chair and
then Mr.. Jordan introduced Robert
Fitzsimmons, the champion of the world. -
He was cheered heartily. though not so
loudly as was Sha-key. Fitz walked back
to his corner and then another DELAY
en- sued. Fitz watched Sharkey closely,
sizing him up" He also looked about
the house, bowlng here and there, and

even the latter were not let in until he
Lad been dressed.
Two or three reputable physicians who
came to the door were told that DR.. Lustig
was inside and were turned away.
Later. when an interview was requested
with DR.. Lustig, the information was
given that he was not there and had not
been there.
1t was seen when Sharkey was carried
out and into the carriage that no physi-
clan was in the room.
As matter of fact no doctor was al
lowed to see Sharkey and up to the time
he left his room all the proof that he
had been fouled was the say SO of his
trainers and the hacker. His trunks

were not even removed to see whether he
was hurt.
Later when DR.. Lee had examined
Sharkey and pronounced him injured, an
effort was made to ascertain something
about the DOCTOR but as his name does
not appear in the register of regular
physicians issued in January, 1896, it was
in vain.
DR.. Wadsworth, secretary of the Board
of Examiners of the regular public
schools. said last night that he had never
heard OF DR.. Lee, and could not give any
information on the subject.
On the streets after the fight nothing
but the manner in which Fitzsim mons
was robbed was heard and if Faker Earp's
ears did not tingle it was because they
were hardened by long experience in this
line.

looked very happy and unconcerned.
Billy Jordan then went to the ropes and
called for wyatt carp repeating the
nane several times. Mr.. carp came for
ward and clim bed through the ropes.
Captain Whitman talked with him few
moments.
Gentlemen" said Billy Jordan, evi-
IDENTIFY unmindful of the half hundred
ladies present, "Mr. Wyatt carp has been
selected as referee" The crowd cheered
ana some few hissed. "But owing to re-
marks that are going around that there is
something crooked about Earp,' contin-
ued Jordan, (which Mr.. Julian has heard,
he refuses to accept Mr.. carp as referee. /"
The crowd yelled and hissed long and
loudly. Fitzsimmons rubbed his hands
with more resin and smiled.
Captain Whitman went to the ringside
and called to Danny Lynch, Sharkey's
manager, who climbed into the ring.
