colt was seen to limp in going to his
corner, and his seconds gave their at
tention to his legs. Walcott is subject
to cramps in his lower limbs, and it is
this ailment which unfortunately at
tackled the colored man tonight. How
ever, this attack did not affect his fight
ing in the early rounds of the fight, and
only served to end the fight in Lavigne's
favor at an earlier stage than was looked
for, as it was apparent from the begin
ming of the fifth round that Lavigne's
lead could not be overcome without
wonderful rally on the part of Walcott.
Lavigne fought for the body principally,
and it was these blows that took the life
out of the colored lad.
THE BETTING
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-Betting
on the Lavigne- Walcott fight continued
brisk all day, and thousands of dollars
were poured into the pool rooms tonight,
the great bulk of which was placed on
Lavigne. The weight of this money
caused a radical change in the odds.
Two days ago Walcott was the favorite
with some bettors at 10 to 8. The heavy
bettors, however, particularly those
from the east, among whom are many
horsemen, placed their money on the
white lad, and it is this money that
caused the switch in the odds. Both
men were below the stipulated limit
of 1856 pounds at o'clock this evening
The exact weight was not given out,
but it is understood Lavigne weighed
133% pounds, while the colored man bal
anced the scales at 1876. 1t was conceded
that Walcott would take on five pounds
between the hours of and 10 o'clock
At $3.50 o'clock pools We're selling at
10 to 61a, with Lavigne favorite.
A GREAT CROWD
On no similar occasion has such a
crowd ever assembled in Mechanics pa
vilion as that which poured into the big
building tonight to witness the Lavigne
Walcott fight. While the attendance at
the Corbett-Sharkey bout and the noto-
rious Fitzsimmons-Shark fiasco was
something enormous, the crowd came tc
see the big men in ring costume rather
than with the hopes of seeing a great
contest. But tonight every one came
with the expectation of seeing a decisive
encounter between the two greatest
fighters in the world at their weight
The doors leading to the galleries OF
the big building were thrown open a.
early as $3.50 p. M, and as those who helc
tickets admitting them to that portion
of the pavilion acted on the rule o

Turkish costume of the most fantastic
colors, in order that they might be easily

spectators and all who held the proper

IN THE RING
While the evenings program was late
in opening, the preliminaries between
local boxers were curtailed and at 9:56
Joe Walcott stepped into the ring,
wrapped in a long gray bath robe. He
was followed by Tom O'Rourke, George
Dixon and Joe Cotton. Walcott was
warmly applauded, but it was discounted
by the roar of applause which greeted
George Lavigne as he followed the col
ored man into the ring. Lavignes sec
onds were his brother, Billy Lavigne,
Tim McGrath and Billy Armstrong.
When Lavigne and Walcott dropped
their robes in the ring tonight their
splendid condition was apparent. The
gong sounded at 1853.

another rush with a good, stiff left on
the face. Lavigne forced the fighting
and landed both right and left on the
jaw, staggering the colored man, who
repeatedly clinched to avoid the ter
rife rushes from Lavigne. The gong
sounded in hot mix in the center of the
ring in which the white man had all the
best of it. He drew blood from Walcott's S
nose.
Second round-Lavigne rushed Wal
colt in a corner and tried with his right,
but was stopped with a stiff left on the
face. Lavigne had the better of this
round, doing all the forcing. The pace
was terrific.

Jockey Club Stake Events-Winners
of Races

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-The en-
tries for ten stakes given by the Pacific
Coast Jockey Club have just been made
public.
AS these events are to be decided dur
ing the months of November and De-
cember there are naturally not many
Eastern entries, as these horses need
six weeks to become thoroughly accli-
mated before engaging in stake events.
The Crocker stake for 2-year-olds Sc
cured eighty entries but the average is
something like forty. Eighteen of the
richest stakes, including the $4,000 Cali
fornia Derby, the Ingleside handicap
and the J. F. Ullman handicap, close
November 18th. These events are sure
to attract good Eastern entry, as thev
are to be run between January 1st and
May 1st.
The University stake for S-year-olds,
at one mile, is to be run on the opening
day, next Monday. There are twenty
five entries
The California Jockey Club has issued
book containing the program for the
first two weeks racing at Oakland. This
meeting opens up November 18th and
the mile handicap to be run on the ini-
tial day has forty-three entries.

Some of them were not unlike QUIZ

The people are so fond Of them and
find them so nutritious as well as pront-

Notwithstanding the antiquity OF the
mushroom il is, even in these days OF
enlightenment, mystery. Nobody
save "A few savants knows much about
il, bat everybody in France knows that
it can be made to grow in almost any
quantity desired.
The mushroom loves a place that ~
cool, damp and dark, and 1t is for this
reason that the mushroom is almost in
variably cultivated in subterranean ex-
cavations throughout France.
In the department Of the Seine there
are over 8, 600 OF these caves, and In
them live about 800 people-"cham-
