Excited Young Man, Yelled Lady,
Landau and Boarding House.
A landau drove up TO the Pennick
House last night at 10 20, in which sat
a young man of about % years and a
lady, who, though heavily veiled, ap-
peared to be quite young. The young
man was considerably excited and
asked for the best room in the house.
He was shown one, which appeared to
give satisfaction, as he promptly en-
gagged it. Stating that they would re-
turn as soon as they could "finC min
ister," the young man got into the Ian
dau, the driver whipped up the horses
and the team disappeared down the
street.
The couple had not returned up to
THE TIMES press hour, and nothing
could be learned Of their whereabouts.
The young man was stranger to
Mr.. E. M. Dart, who showed HIM the
room.

well-inrended blow. Time called
with Fltz looking very much wors
for wear and Corbett putting.
Round 7.-Fitz, forcing, misses the
left swing at the head and Corbett
uppercuts Fitz hard on the face. Fitz
is fighting like lion. Jim lands a
light left on Fitz's sore mouth. Fitz
tries the lett swing, which is ducked
by Corbett and countered with a
heavy right over the heart. Fitz
looks like stuck bullock, but is as
strong as the other man.
THE TIDE TURNS.
In the next round Fitz does all the
forcing, and both spar for wind. AT
ter some fast fighting, Corbett coun-
ters on Fitz's jaw with his left. Fitz
had the worst of the bout. The ninth
round is opened by some long
range sparring. Fitz lands below the
belt aud is called down by Siler. Cor
5ett shows signs of weakening and
FItz lands more freely. In the tenth
round Fitz spits blood, but is much
cooler and stronger than Corbett.
Fitz forces him back, catches him
around neck, and as the gong sounds
drags him to the ropes. Fitz seems
gaining strength in the eleventh
round and lands heavily with his left
on Corbett's face. They mix it, with
the advantage or Fitz's side. COrbett
is fought into his corner. In the
twelfth round he revives and lands
on Fitz's sore nose, forces him to the
ropes and smashes hard on the short
RIBS. Corbett then lands right and
left on Bob's face, and after several
passes, tries a knockout upper cut
with his right, but fails. This was
Corbett's round. In the thirteenth
rOuud Fitz lands on ribs and jaw right
and left. Jim gets in left handler.
Fitz rushes things, but COrbett's skill
full sparrlDg saves him.

FIGHT IN THE CITY.
There Was Much Hilarity Over the

There Was Much Hilarity Over the
Downfall of Pompadour Jim.
Bruins wick yesterday afternoon was
pugilistically inclined. The centre of
interest was the Naval Reserves ar
mory, where the detailed story of the
great istic contest was received by
special wire from the ringside.
The crowd In the armory was not
very large one, but it was enthusias-
tic, and It's interest in the event was
keyed up to the very highest pitch.
There was considerable betting before
the returns began to come in at odds
Of 10 to in favor of Corbett.
Messrs James O'Connor and A. HI.
Kemp took the bulletins and Gus
Montgomery read them to the listen
ers. Up to the ninth round there
wasn't man in the house who be-
lieved that the Cornishman had any
chance of winning, so terrible was the
punishment, which, the wires told,
was being inflicted upon him by Cor
bett. There was a sudden surprise
when the operator skipped from the
ninth to the finish round, and the mes
sage came tina Fitz bsa VOC
After giving the suit, ! Jr-
vening rounds were detailed, but
failed to arouse interest, as the au-
dience knew what to expect in the
end.
Brunswick was FitzsImmons town
from start to finish, and last night
there we're joyous clIques Of anti-Cor-
bett men on the street corners who
glorled in the effective quietus which
the lanky Australian had given the
proud and boastful expectations of
Pompadour JIM

THE FOURTEENTH ROUND.
That Deadly Knockout Blow-Hit
Over the Heart, Corbett Collspses.

That Deadly Knockout Blow-Hit
Over the Heart, Corbett Collapses.
Corbett's leads are blocked. He
lands that jab again on Fltz's head.
Fitz counters with that terrible right
swing on Corbett's neck and has him
gong back. FItz lands terrible left
hand on Corbett's stomach and Cor
bett goes to his knees with frIghtful
look of agony on his face. The time
keepers call seconds-one, two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
but Corbett comes to his feet. He
rushes at Fitz and endeavors to strike
him. There is terrible uproar. The
decision is for moment delayed, and
then Referee George Siler decides that
FItz wins.
The blow that did the business
landed over Corbett's heart and he
collapsed. The round lasted just one
minute and 40 seconds.

The Hebrew festival of Purim will be.
gin Wednesday at sundown and Jews of
this city are preparing for the celebration.
Unlike most Of the other Hebrew holidays
purim is observed but slightly as IL
religious festival 1t commentaries the
delivery OF the Jews by Queen Esther from
tho massacre with which they were threat
ened when dwelling in the Persian en-
pire, and for that reason it is II joyous oC-
casiOn.
The meaning of the Pur:n festival de.
ponds in II large measure upon the mean
ing and derivation of the word Purim, and
about this there is much doubt The ordi-
nary derivation made the name q Hebrew
word, meaning lots, and applied to tho
festival by the ancient Jews in derision Of
the folly Of Haman, who is said in tho
book Of Esther to have wasted IL whole
year in casting lots to determine what
would be u good time for his proposed
massacre of the Jews. This delay gave
the Jews time for the development Of
plans for their delivery.
This older derivation is ignored in the
more recent biblical studies Of sume fumou.
AssyriOogists, who say Purim comes
from IN older Persian word, and that he
festival itself was borrowed by the Jews
from Persian festival in early spring.
