RUMoRs OF A HITCH.
Side Bet Between jim and Bob Prob
ably Of

New York. Feb. I3.-During the past
few days there have been rumors of a
hitch in the Iig fight between Corbett
snd Fitzsimmons. as far as the side
wager IS concerned. According to the
story, Warren Lewis, who has 50 $40
OF the $500 stake on the Corbett side,
had Withdrawn his money from stake
holder Al Smith. 1t was also said that
Fitzsimmons did not have q cent up
with Smith, and that there would not
be any side wager on the result. When
Smith was seen yesterday in regard to
the matter. he said:
The whole thing is pure rot. Fitz-
simmons has $500 with me and the
other Is. 600 is not due until next We'd
nesday. l only saw Warren Lewis once
within the past few days and that was
on matters entirely apart from the
pres.st night he has never approached
me regarding the s.. 500. and has not
taken il down. To tell you the truth.
he could not take it down if he wanted
q"
1T is also reported that Corbett has
not any money up with you?" was
asked.
That's another falsehood." said
Smith vigorously. Every cent is up.
and II necessary he could get $1,000
backing if he wanted TO. I am not
worrying about Fitzsimmons' cash. II
satisfied TO wait FIVE days after next
Wednesday, as long as he wires me
that the coin is on The way. The
money was to have been put up last
Wednesday. but somehow I missed
Martin Julian. Take it for me. there
is no chance Of the fight not coming
off. even if there is no side bet, and
don't believe such a thing viii happen"
It is not likely that George Dixon
and Frank Erne viii fight under Dan
Stuart's auspices. as has been reported,
unless Stuart offers the boxers a $40. 900
purse. Tom O'ROurke said yesterday
- could get this amount at his own
cJLb in tnis city, and ne did rot like
the idea Of travelling SO far without be-
ing assured that the matter would be
decided. When Dixon was matched 10
box Jerry Marshall, at the late fistic
carnival of Stuart, the rest did not
come off. O-Rourl1e declares that he is /
out of pocket $S19 on that affair. He 1
claims that Joe Vendig, who was in /
partnership with Stuart at the time, /
promised to make good the loss

vEsUvIUs CAUGHT.

The dynamite cruiser VeSuviuS made
five unsuccessful attempts to run the
blockade tonight. The conditions were
exactly reversed from last night, as
the air was free from fog or mist, and
the search lights worked perfectly.

From the beach channel on the north

order: Massachusetts. Maine, Amphi-
trite, New York, Indiana and Column
bia The line was established at z
O'Clock and the VeSuViuS was sent out
to sea. The searchlights began at once
to play over the waters 1t was about
7:35 when a light from the Maine
stopped in its Wanderings and streamed
along steadily upon one import. The
cause was soon known. She had caught
the Vesuvius. A red and green cOstOn
signal told the tale, and the lights of
the fleet. turned upon the spot, brought
the white hull of the cruiser into full
view. The Nesuvius put up her lights
fore and aft and went to sea again
for another trial. The next time she
got past the line and was nearly out of
danger when the lights of the AmDhi-
trite caught her.
Three other attempts were made.
and each time the blockade runner was
quickly caught.

LAWN PARTY LAST NIGHT.
Raleigh has not Known More Delight
full Event of It's Kind.

Last night was the loveliest, moonlight
night this old world has seen since Ro-
meo and Juliet spent the evening together
on the balcony.
And the loveliest, sweetest place on
the globe was the lawn of Mr.. julius
Lewis, always inviting and beautiful.
Electric lights and lanterns made it a
brilliant scene, and the charming COM
pany of young and old made it an even
ing of enjoyment unprecedented in the
history of lawn-parties in the capitol
city.
The elegant residence was thrown
open, and choice flowers made every room
a conservatory. The music stealing upon
the still evening airy beguilded the yisi-
tors, who came to spend half an hour.
into spending the whole evening. Fair
hands served dainty refreshments. and
the whole affair was simply a poem Of
loneliness and joy.
The proceeds go to the Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Lewis, assisted by Mrs.
DR.. Daniel and other ladies OF the Pres
byterian church, gave a cordial greeting
to all corners. Mrs. Lewis is charming
hostess and has the satisfaction of hav-
ing delighted the large company that at
tended the lawn party last night.
