the honors to zimpher.

and Fielder was counted out. Time, 20
seconds.
The last and principal bout OF the
night was between Charley Strong,
colored, Of Newark, N. j., and Henry
Baker of Chicago, IL rounds at catch
weights. Both men were far over the
middleweight limit,a and could easily have
been cisssed as heavyweights. In the
10th round, which proved TO be the last
Strong knocked Baker down three times,
and as Baker was in helpless cond ition,
his seconds threw up the sponge. The
bout was awarded 10 Strong. Time OF

coRBETT SIGNS ARTICLE.

Champion James j. Corbett signed to
box Bob Fitzsimmons for the worlds
championship and a s26, 900 purse before
the Greater New York Athletic Club at
Coney Island en- Jan. IA, in his dressing
room at the Columbia Thester, Boston,
last evening. Lewis offer was the best
made, as he agrees to deposit 5000 with
Al Smith, the new York sporting man,
today az a guarantee of his faith to bold
the.contest. Fitzsimmons sent telegram
to Lewis. stating that If that offer is the
best received up TO Nov. rs he will sign.
Tne articles will be mailed him today.
1t was thought that Lewis might in
crease his offer, and also that Jimmy
Colville, who represented prominent
New York club, would increase his
offer. But neither did. Colville could not
see his way clear to deposit any amount
TO bind the match unilt Fi;z had signed
and consequently to Corbett's mind
Lweis' bid was the better. Colville would
not say anything to iDjure Lewis bid and
a very friendly spirit was manifested. IL
possible Mr.. Lewis will try TO induce Fitz
to accept Jan. 1 New Years. Day. as the
date, but ii Is thought tbat the Australian
will not agree to this.
orbett is perectly satisfied to spar on
that date, 40 1t means that tbs contest
could be held with less danger of interfer-
ence on that day than on Jan. ii, as the
New York Assscm bly, con venes the first
week in January. The articles call for the
winner to take all and that there shall
he no si6e stakes and that each man shall
DEL osi $500 as a guarantee OF good faith,
this money to be deposited before
Dec. 10.
Corbett sent this telegram to Fitz:
"Twenty rounds will be finish between
us. You will spoil all talking of finish
fght.n
Julian, for Fitz. sent a collect tele-
gram, which cost Corbett good bill as
follows: "No more grand stand plays.
We want a championship battle to a
finish IL possible for us TO get 1t. You
know We will not prevent Hght under
any circumstances. When wo find il
impossible to get a finish fight any old
kind of a match will suit as.
Julian also cent collect telegram to
Lewis, which cost the latter 20.

1t isa vulgar error to suppose that
society attends the opera TO chatter and
show itself off. 1t supports opera most
literally from a purely aesthetic point OF
Wow. Music is nowhere held TO be more
entertaining, moro refined, more elcvat-
ing than in New York. Nowhers does
the true artist receive such prompt aud
cordial recognition as in New York. In
no opera house in the world have the
De Reszkes, Eames, Melba, Calve. Lassslle
and their clever associates given greater
pleasure and created more of a furore
than in the Metropolitan. Indeed, so close
has been this sympathy and appreciation
that society has pursued many of the
singers into their pri vate lives and made
personal friends OF them, regarding them
as welcome guests in their houses, and
generally making life as pleasant for
them of the stage as it was brilliant on
the stage.

will be increased for some of the operatic
performances, such as "Siegfried." Mr.
Seidl said thar this step had been taken

For the Bed Room.
From the New York Post.


White enamel bedroom sets are as fash
ionable as ever for the bed rooms of coun-
try houses. The surface is either Of the
plain enamel with brass trimmings, or with
decorations Of Delft blue in the form Of
little landscapes, showing where pretty blue
bridges stretch over equally pretty blue
streams. where there are boats on the
water and wind mills by the shore, or
bachelor buttons are painted in clusters or
scattered singly over each piece The blue
decorations may be conventional in design,
and take the form of empire wreaths Of
leaves or flowers, or of scrolls.
Often a few decorated pieces, a toilet
table, and a chair or two, or perhaps a
cheval glass. may be the only decorate
pieces used with plain white set Again
the blue may only appear in the wall paper
or hanglngs. or in the mantel ornaments
and clock and lamp shades, which may be
Of Delft blue and white. The light through
the globe shades of Delft blue and white is
particularly pleasing when it lights up a
really good little view of land and water.
These shades are, however, high-priced. On
the loW-priced shades the drawing is very
poor, and the boats ride in the sky and the
wind mills occur in most Impossible places
and positions These blue and white shades
look their best on lamps of wrought iron
When blue and white is not chosen for
bed room, green and white, old pink and
white, or violet and white are cool-looking
colorS to put together. Often a young wo-
man who can paint flowers well decorates
window seat, rocking chair and a writ
ing desk for herself. Such a room is charm
ing when the decorations are of violet and
the white wall paper is also scattered with
the same flowers with many of them in a
festooned frieze where there are many
green leaves. This extreme dantiness OF
coloring should, however, only be chosen
for a room where the maids vino care for
the house or the maiden who occupies 1t
has leisure to keep it immaculate. " nen
light coloring is desired, and white is not
liked curly birch and bird s-eye maple are
both used for bedroom furniture White
furnishings have most opposite effects on
different persons. One woman who mas
white room finds its glare tiresome; another
thinks it reStful.
