Crowds View the veriscope Pictures

Crowds View the Veriscope Pictures
 Yesterday Afternoon and Evening.
 A good house watched the scenes rep- resenting Corbett and Fitzsimmons do- ing fistic battle last night at the Hy perion and went away very we'll pleas ed with the veriscope and it's pictures. The evening was but a repetition of the matinee many ladies being present at each performance. The house was kept cool and comfortable by means of sev- eral large electric fans. From the pre- liminary scenes and early rounds the interest was great all the way through and became intense in the critical sixth and the final fourteenth In the sixth round many spectators held their watches in hand to count with Referee Siler as to whether "Fitz" was down twelve seconds or not. Those who counted knockout were about at nu merous as those who said otherwise. At times when one or the other of the combatants landed a particularly clev CT hit, or parried neatly, there were murmurs of commendation from all parts of the house, and some of New Haven's prominent citizens got so ex- cited at times that they appeared to forget it was only a representation of what has become history, and not an actual battle they were witnessing. They would ask their neighbors why Corbett or Fitzsimmons did not do this or do that.
 The intense interest increased all along from the sixth round until it cul- minated in the short fourteenth, when Corbett got the knockout on the solar plexus The scenes enacted for five minutes after the battle were also shown, when Corbett in his half-crazed condition rushed from side to side of the ring.
 The exhibition will be repeated after moons and evenings until Thursday night. Prices for the matinee are 25 cents to any part of the house, and in the evening 25 cents and 50 cents.

James B. Smiths Saddle Horse Grows
 Ugly and an Accident Results.
 James B. Smith, private secretary to Manager I. A. Kelsey, of the Winches- ter Avenue Railroad company had a thrilling experience shortly before 6 o'clock last evening. He was driving bareback beside a Savin Rock car on Campbell avenue, when the horse balk- ed and backed up against the speeding car. The force of the impact tumbled horse and rider to the ground. Motor man Palmer and Conductor Kirtland, who were in charge of the car, went to MT. Smiths assistance and held the praneing horse, but beyond a severe shaking up MT. Smith was unharmed, and the horse showed not scratch. The accident resulted fro mthe temper of the horse.
 MT. Smith expects to leave for the Klondike region next February and will probably take the horse along He will carry 1,500 pounds of provisions.

dressed Sacramentans Yesterday.

In accordance with the published
programme, the Crusaders of the
American Theosophical Society drove
out yesterday morning to the State
Prison at Folsom and We're kindly re-
ceived by Warden and Mrs. Aull.
During their stay they availed them
selves of the opportunity to address
the prisoners confined there, and spoke
freely to large number of them.
They We're much encouraged to find
that motto of the society, Truth,
Light and Liberty for Discouraged
of their hearers.
Mrs. Katharine A. Tingley on her re-
turn expressed the opinion that their
visit would prove of permanent bene-
fit and lead to the uplifting of those
whom they visited and make bet
ter men and women of them after they
leave the prison.
Last evening a public meeting was
held at Turner Hall, which was at
tended by large and attentive audi
ence. Earnest and interesting addresses
on various theosophical topics were
delivered by members of the society,
and a string band discoursed music in
the intervals.
After the close Mrs Tingley and the
other members of the party met the
Sacramento members in front of the
platform and discoursed with them for
some time.
Following is the programme of music
and addresses IntermeZZo. "Sunfo-
MICA" (Mascagne); address, Reality OF
Brotherhood, Mrs. Alice L. Cleather;
'"Traumerei" (Schuman); address,
Divine Teachers" Rev. w. Williams;
address, "karma and Reincarnation,
II. T. Patterson; Evening Star Song"
(Wagner).
The platform was handsomely decor
ated with the flags of many nations
the stars and stripes being entwined
on the stand in front of the dais, while
overhead We're in the center the flags
of Turkey and the white ensign Of Rus
sia side by side. In the center of the
side groups We're on one side the flag
Of Siam, and on the other the green
banner of Ireland.
The party will leave this morning
for Salt Lake City.

ATRIP over THE WHBBLWAY
In Tolerably Fair Condition After the

The Necessary Repairs Will be Made

Awheel.

The Wheelway Committee of the Cap
ital City Wheelmen, consisting of Frank
Miller H Bennett, Geo. A. Stuart, J. A.
Woodson, c. NJ. Goethe and M. S. La
venson-W. A Stephenson being una
yoidably absent-accompanied by a
number of the wheelmen and officers
of the club, yesterday made an official
and critical inspection of the Folsom
WheelWay, going over it twice. over
40 wheelmen and women were met com
ing and going on the path up to , p. m,
and after that the number increased.
From Thirty-first street to Smiths
place the path was found in good con-
dition, needing only slight repairs. The
work done on the path on Friday and
Saturday had greatly improved it. Al
Smiths place the old culvert had been
replaced, but a much larger one is
needed and must be put in. Between
Smiths and the Junction" little needs
to be done.
Orders We're issued to Foreman Pugh
to make clay fills to-day, and coat with
decomposed granite on this stretch
wherever needed, and to that end he
will hire teams and begin work at once.
1t was found that some malicious peo-
pie still leave the public road and drive
on the path. A reward is to be offered
for the capture of just one of these.
From the Junction OVER the grade, by
the new route, the wheelway is impassi-
BILE because of the chief Water-hole at
the railroad ''V'' and two washouts aud
some soft patches. Nothing will be
done on this section at present, but at
tention will be given to securing path
on one side of the county road up to
Perkins. The trouble is that whoever
made that road dug out the right of
way on the north to build the road on
the south side, leaving no sufficient
space, even for a foot-path, upon which
teams do not encroach. It is probable

that the attempt will be made, however,
to get permanent wheelway by that
route by some device or other.
At Perkins the committee found the
people all awake about a sidewalk to
the Junction. They say that now their
women and children have to take to the
railroad track or else 'hoof it, through
mud in one season or dust in the other
The section is thickly settled, is really
village all the way to the Junction, ana
a protected country sidewalk is aoso-
lutely needed. They do not ask 1t TO
be of cement, wood or asphaltum. Ihey
will be content with plain mother earth,
if the Supervisors will dedicate II ana
keep teams off by posting it every TWO
yards or so, and by putting in one cui-
vert. A petition was being slghed
largely at Perkins for this sidewalk. and
is to be presented to the Supervisors
this week.
The Committee told the people that II
the way" was dedicated and posted 1t
would contribute to the work of making
it shipshape and keeping it in order.
From Perkins to the first trestle the
path is good with few holes ana
cut-outs to be filled. The water at the
trestle is over the path, and it was re
solved that bridge must be put H.
The wheels here had to take to the mgh-
way, rough, stony and full of chuck :
holes. So, too, at the second trestle
the roadway had to be availed or DE-
cause of water A new bridge is to be
ordered in at this point. In these cases
the bridges will probably be high and
permanent.
From the last trestle on to Patterson
the track is in good order. Two days

will be attended to next week.

The concert to be given this evening
by the Ladies' Choral Society at the

be one of the musical events of the

well filled, as Mr.. Henley is a favorite
here.
The Ladies' Choral, under the eff
cient direction of Mrs. Moeller. have
been heard also, and need no introduc-
ton, as their work of last winter proved
them to be a well-organized chorus of
women's voices. The Choral is much
stronger and in better condition than
ever before.
There will be young lady ushers in
attendance. and the audience is re-
Quested to be in their seats by 8

ton OF beginning promptly on time.
