We have all met the man who; in
attempting TO introduce public
speaker, apparently misconceiyes the
situation, and thinks that IT is him
self rather than the man he is intro
ducing who is TO make the speech of
the evening. This man is not con
fined to any special locality, Ex-
President Harrison tells us good
story Of such person. He says;
"0uce in southern Indiana in cam
paign; | was told there was a gentle
man holding the audience for my
arrival. When we came down to the
platform, and the little stir that was
made advised the speaker of my
presenc, he turned and sad The
distinguished orator who is to ad-
dress US is now present, and ! must
bring my remarks 10 a close How
ever it was not convenienent for him
to close Just then and he went on.
After half hour he was reminded
that | was there, and he again re-
minded the audience in turn, that
the distinguished orator was pres
ent, but still he had not found fit,
ting place to close. At first | was
out Of temper, but presently the hu-
NOR of the situation got hold of me,
and l interposed to prevent those
having the meeting in hand from
putting him down. | told these
gentlemen tnat it was the most hu-
morous performance ever attended,
although it was not billed as such.
He went on speaking uuIil the drums
were beating to assemble the people
who wer, there and who we're going
home, aud ] did not make a speech
at all. '-ES.

Virginia Chicken Fights.

Whenever there seems a show of better
times on the ComstOck the sporting ele-
ment get in and do business. In the old
days when Ophir was $500 and Con. Viz
gina 5000, there was a chicken fight or a
bear and dog fight or wild cats and dogs
doing battle every night. 1t used to be
an old saying with the sports that cock
fighting was always a sign of good times
on the old ledge, no matter how lightly
the people regard the chicken fights, as
about the least e~Xcusable order of Sports.
The claim that it was a harbinger of a
strike on a bonanza deal or something,
always silenced objections. Now they
are at it again. The Enterprise says:
AN invoice of San Francisco birds
which arrived on the COmstOck yester-
day created a stir among those who con-
tinue to follow the ancient sport of cock
fighting. These birds will figure prom
inently in chicken arena events of the
near future. The next chicken main to
be fought on the Comstock will be nex
Saturday night and will open the chic'.en
arena under Thomas Little's saloon
This event will consist probably o. four
events, which will commence sharply at
a quarter to s o'clock and will come of
without any intermissions or waits fol
refreshments. a Reno bird is pitted
against a Virginia, one from Carson
against one taken off a walk at the NORTH
end and a Divide champion against The
pride of Gold Hill.
If one of the San Francisco birC,s sc
found 10 be in condition al err their jour
ney he will show TO one of the local birds
The opening of LIttle's arena will be al.
ended by good sport and betting is eE
pee ed 10 be Lively. Strict order is to bt
maintained. The fights ale o 0e accord
ing to the newest Police Gazette rules
A battle royal is being arranged for 'h'
aft ernOOn OF he 18th of March,
