Sharkey entered the ring at 10 min
utes past 10 o'clock. He was accom-
panied by Joe Choynski, Tim McGrath,
Tom Lansing and Solly Smith. He
chose the southeast corner which was
the one in which the winner of the first
bout had sat. He was warmly re-
ceived.
The greeting Maher got was voci-
ferrous. He took his corner at 1914
and his seconds were Buck Connolly,

and Jack Cattannach. "Pittsburg
PHIL held the watch for Maher and
Danny Lynch did the same for Shark
ey. Both men said they weighed 17S
pounds. Maher came into the ring
wearing a black sweater and black
trousers, while Sharkey was enveloped
in a big yellow bath robe trimmed
with blue. When stripped Maher wore
black trunks with a green belt, and
Sharkey green trunks with an Ameri-
can flag for a. belt. Both men said they
weighed 173 pounds.
Billy Brady announced before the
men stripped that the agreement was
that in case of police interference If
either man was in such a condition as
not to have a chance to win in the
opinion of the referee, the latter should
give his decision in favor of the other
man but that II the referee saw that
the man having the worst OF the con-
test had a chance to win. then he was
to declare the bout a draw.
The men were announced to box 25
rounds at catchweights. 1t was an
nounced that they had agreed to break
clean and that they could box with
either hand free.

Central office detectives in civilian
dress soon made the people form in
line, and the ticket sellers were kept
busy attending to men who threw their
money at them in a reckless manner.
The s"ating capacity of the house
is estimated at 5000 but the aisles and
every inch of standing room was
crowded to suffocation. Large delega-
tiOns from the principal cities east OF
Chicago were on hand, and Ii would
be easier to name the prominent sport
ing men who were absent than to
enumerate those who were about the
arena.
The betting on the big event was
lively and Maher was a pronounced
favorite. odds of 100 to so and 100 to
70 were bet on Peters chances, and
some of those who were confident of
the big fellows ability to defeat the
sailor laid odds of 100 to 60.
THREE NoTABLEs.
John L. Sullivan. Jim Corbett and
Kid Mccoy occupied box seats at the
ring side, and each of them got a
rousing reception when he made his
appearance.
At 9.20 o'clock Charley Roden, of Jer-
sey City and Bob Quade, of this city
entered the ring to take part in the
preliminary contest. They We're billed
for 10 rounds at 10S pounds. Charley
White refereed this bout, and Steve
O'Donnell, of this city, who is an old
time master OF ceremonies. held the
watch. Both boys were over the
weight and Roden was easily 10 pounds
heavier than Quade. in the third
round Quade rained blow after blow on
the Jersey boy and had him so weak
ened that Referee White stopped the
bout and declared Quade the winner.
Time of round 2.15.
The fast boxing in the preliminary
paved the way for the big fellows and
10000 eyes were strained for several
minuts to catch a glimpse of the first
of the principals to make his appear
ance.
BETTING WAS LIVELY.
Betting ON the result continued to
be lively and several wagers were
made at even money that Maher would
win in ten rounds. Kid Mccoy took
the Sharliey end of this Cor 1900. He
also placed 81 900 on Sharkey to win

FOR WOMEN CYCLISTS.

Here is what Chicago female authority
| has to say about cycling in general and
| some of the details of dress. The infor-
| nation will undoubtedly prove of inter-
est to good many readers. She says:
| 1.-THE revolution that a wheel makes in a
| household Is remarkable. A man to be
truly happy should have the woman of the
| house also a cyclist; then will his short
comings be overlooked, provided they
| may be connected with wheeling He may
| leave his bicycle in the front hall, may be
sate to meals, may get breakfast at un-
| earthly hours in the morning and can
| come home late at night and have free
swing in the sitting room to repair his
| punctured tire. A wheelwoman Is the best
sympathizer in the world; then she is so
| obliging when she wants anything mended
or adjusted abotu her wheel.
Considering the amount of vigorous
language INDUCED in by the men when
cleaning their bicycles, 1t is not to be
wondered at that women seldom dream of
taking such job. AS a matter of fact,
the work is not nearly so difficult or dirty
as 1t is made out to be- Women who are
chary of other fingers than their own toy
ing with their bicycles and prefer rather
to rub them down and oil them them
selves need not necessarily find the task
| uncleanly, II they take the simple precau-
A bicycle, to be kept in good condition,
should be cleaned every time after use,
| otherwise dust and grit are apt to sitt
into the bearings and wear them down.
The plated part must never be neglected
that they begin to rust, nor must mud be
allowed to cake on the enamel for I'm re-
moving II you will surely leave a few
| scratches. Beware of superfiuity of Oil.
A well kept bicycle needs to be oiled only
at the end of every 100 miles. A faint
squeak will generally tell you when an
oiling Is necessary.
Any woman who starts in to become a
| cyclist should carefully study Just what
amount Of cycling will do her good, and
should then study the vehicle out of
which she expects to get this good. II
she Thoroughly understands the mechan-
ism of her bicycle she will get twice the
amount OF pleasure from IT, The first
thing TO be considered is the learning to
ride. Some women are puzzled as TO
whether they should go to a regular BIZ
cycle school for their instructions. An
| experienced woman rider says on this
| subject: II should advise every one to
go TO school and learn how to ride be-
fore purchasing wheel. While learning
TO ride they will learn something about
wheels and what kind OF wheel and equip
ment wiN suit them best. The number OF
lessons Is great question with beginners.
have heard women say that they learned
In two or three lessons Some even say
they rode right OF the first time they
tried. but ] have never yet seen any wo-
man ride a wheel the first time she tried,
or even after six or q dozen lessons ride

Dollar wheat and prosperity is now
much read about. Last year the crazy
silver ~agitators caused low prices; nov
look how they have gone upl In the
first week of September last year farm
ers had a good crop and were rushing
lots of sweet potatoes to market at Sl.50
a barrel, but the "overproduction"
caused the price to fall to 81 ON Sept.
10th. The free trade tariff let foreign
goods in so mills had to shut down and
American workmen had no employ
ment nor money to buy; SO said many.
The free silver (more money craze
was killed ten months ago. Free trade
a abolished six weeks ago. The
high tariff has stopped pauper foreign
goods from coming in. But prosperity
has returned-so say the Secretary of
Agriculture and other government Off.
Gals who ought to know by the big sal
aries they draw. Any man who does
not believe it is a calamity bowler,
crank or crazy agitator.
On Sept. 9th last year sweet potatoes
sold for Ito. The first pant of this
week they fell to S1.15 to Sl.25 and OIL
Thursday, 9th, to 81 u barrel. Last
year the second week in September wa
| ter melons sold for from $3.50 to Sc per
hundred. Last week they sold from
50 to SIS. An Upper Neck farmer who
has the largest acreage sent 100 to the
market last week and cleared $3.50 per
100. This week they are bringing from
Sc down to 90. Last year there was a
good melon crop and a large sweet pc.
tato crop at this time. This year the
crops are about half. Owing to low
prices and half crops most farmers are
not digging any amount yet.
The raisers of Fan house tomatoes
only get from SIS to Sc ton and this
year have only from a third TO half of a
crop. But prosperity has come and
who dare deny it. Hurrah! for the
best honest dollar, the dollar which
buys the most-the most sweet potatoes
| and water melons!
