here after a six weeks tour of the inter-
Tor. They were well received everywhere.

sPARRING AT THE aAIETY.

The Corbett-Sharkey light has created
an unusual interest among the sporting
fraternity of this city and their appetite
for amusement of this nature will be sat
istied at the exhibition to be given under

Gaiety theatre, tonight. Six great events

Frazier, the champion feather-weight of

be added TO, but the Indications are that
the death roll must increase. The police
department. is busy computing a list OF
the guests and checking them on as last
rs they are reported safe. Manager Lake,
Of the hotel, feels certain that all OF the
employees have been saved, though TWO
mbermaids are missing.
When seen by an A Associated Press
representative, r. j. Baldwin, proprietor
and owner of the hotel, said that he conld
not figure up his losses for several days
yet, but said that the insurance was light
in comparison to the loss. Owing to the
extremely heavy insurance rates charged
by the insurance companies on the build
ing and contents he carried but little pro-
lection on his property and the high rates
also prevented the tenants on the ground
floor stores from jnsuring their stock
heavily. The insurance on the building
may reach 500, 900 and $50. 600 of this is
divided among sixteen companies, the
National of Hartford being the heaviest
loser among them $500 being carried
with this concern. The insurance on the
contents of the building, 50 far as known,
amounts to SIT, 700 and Is divided among
twenty-thres companies, the National of
Hartford being responsible for another
$500. Late this afternoon the fire engines
were being withdrawn from the scene,
only one or two streams being left to SUBJ
due any fire that might break out among
the debris.

man he is after he says he will have q
winner.
The proposed league to include Gardi-
ner, Wateryille and Skowhegan will prob
ably enjoy very short lease of life.
There are few if any teams in the
league which could have maintained a
winning pace as Bath has done with a
star like Murtaugh out of .thesgame.
Manager Kelsey would not trade Hayes

game are now satisfied that Hayes Is a
better man than Furbush.
The Bath Amateurs, known as the II.
