ON hand early and tested the ropes,
etc. He did not find things to suit him.
and under his direction the ropes were
frightened. Tom Sharkey, ready to
challenge the winner, ambled in early
and examined the ring with the air of
q connoisseur. At 10 O'Clock the crowd
was still altering through the gates,
and the spectators had but small effect
In covering the yellow boards. At that
hour John L. Sullivan entered the are
ma and took seat In a box close to the
ring. His appearance was the signal
for an outburst OF cheers; but beyond
q broad smile the ex-champion paid
no attention 90 the demonstration.
AS the day wore ON the warmth of
the sun Increased There was no wind
and the weather conditions were per-
feet for the fight. No one seemed to
have any definite idea OF the hour when
the fighters were to go on, but 1t was
understood to be IL o'clock.

as she was compelled to remain in her
carriage with only the slight protection
from the sun that her light parasol
provided during the course of the pa
rade and the vexatious waits attending
the management of the procession.
When she arrived at her home her con-
dition was bordering on illness, and she
was compelled to give up all plans of
attending the exercises yesterday after
noon and evening and this morning.
The United States troops now in
camp in this city paid their respects to
the Festival Queen this morning. Yes
terday afternoon Col. Rafferty, in COM
mand of the regulars called upon the
Queen and asked that arrangements be
made this morning for a review of the
troops from her residence. The ar
engagements were carried out at $50
this morning, when the entire four
troops of cavalry and section of artil-
lery paraded and drilled in front of the
residence of the Festival Queen on To-
peka avenue.
AS return of the compliment ten
dered the Queen this morning, the
Queen, prime minister and entire court
will drive to the camp Friday evening
at $50 o'clock and review the evening
drill. After the drill the officers will
be presented to the Queen and court.
At the grand court ball at the Grand
Opera house tonight the Festival
Queen will wear the most costly gown
of her royal wardrobe, and Jewels ag-
gregating in value 100000. Her throne
will be erected at the center of the rear
of the stage, and from this position she
will view the court minuet, danced by

YUKON ROAD STARTED.
Work Has Begun on One Road
Towards the Gold Regions

New York, Sept. s0-A dispatch from
Montreal to the Evening Post says:
Application will be made to the Do
Ininion department next session for a
bill to incorporate a company for the
purpose of constructing and operating
a railway from a point near the head
of Chilcoot inlet on the Lynn camp to
the rapids of the Yukon river, following
as closely as practicable Dalton's trail,
with power to construct and operate
branch lines, bridges, wharves, tele-
graph and telephone lines, steamboats,
and other craft on the lakes and tribu-
taries of the Yukon river.
The promoters are a syndicate of
wealthy men. Latest reports received
at Ottawa of the progress of the Crow
Nest railway construction are to the eff
feet that work on the first 100 miles is
very far advanced and that there is no
question that the company will be able
to realize it's purpose of completing this
section before the close of the present
season.
