SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.-Interest in the
fight tonight between Fitzsimmons and
Sharkey is increased and the Mechanics
pavilion probably will be crowded to wit
ness the ten round contest Sharkey is
still confident Of the decision, although
the betting is all against him. The most
favorable betting fol him is even money
that he will not last six rounds. The
wagers on the entire ten rounds are about
3 to / in favor of Fitzsimmons. When
Fitzsimmons puts on the gloves tonight
he will weigh close TO 10 pounds, and
SharlSey will scale about the same figure
The agility and presence of mind of Bob
Fitzsimmons yesterday prevented the post

was being paced by boy on bicycle,
while Mrs Fitzsimomns drove a cart be-
hind Behind Mrs. Fitzsimmons was a
four seated trap drawn by "a spirited horse.
This animal became frightened and dashed
down the road which wound around the
hillside.
The frightened animal passed Mrs. Fitz-

clatter. Bob jumped for his life and rolled
over and over down the hill. The wheels
of the trap missed his head by about three
inches, but he escaped unhurt The boy
on the bicycle was not so fortunate. His

What William Warren was to Boston.
what John Gilbert was to New York,
what Ben DeBar was to ST. Louis, John
Dillon was to Chicago. How the
theatre goers in the great and growing
metropolis of the west used to swear by
John Dillon. He was the favorite
child of dramatic fortune In the days
before the great fire, which swept away
all he had except his name and his tai
emit. The veteran comedian has not
been seen in Grand Rapids for many
years, and to most of the audience be
was a stranger, but his sparkling, ner-
vous wit and his droll sayings, evidently
lnterpolated into the piece. set the au-
dlence into good humOr at once and
eventually into unrestrained laughter.
The play itself affords splendid op-
portunity for realization of Dillon's
jolly humOr, and it is welcome relief
from the fiat, stale and chestnutty mus.
ical absurdities with which most of the
farce comedies abound now days. The
audience roared at John billions every
appearance and he was especially funny
as DeSmythe. of Fifth Avenue. His
makeup was intensely funny and his
company gives him very good sup
port. Wanted, the Earth" will be re-
peated by Mr.. Dillon at Powers this
evening and the sale of seats already
insures good house.-Democrat,
