sHARkEY THE WINNER.
Knocked Out Gus Rubin in Less Than a
Round.

New York, June 29.-Tom Sharkey,
the sailor pugilist Of California. knocked
out Gus Rubin, the Ohio giant, in less
than one round tonight before the
Greater New York Athletic club at Coney
island. Ruhlin's defeat was accom-
plished in exactly two minutes and seyen-
teen seconds, and as soon as the referee
had declared Sharkey the winner the
sailor ran aross the ring and shook hands
with Rubin, who had been carried to
his corner. Rubin was still grogay
when Sharkey grasped his gloved hand
and was unable to reply to conqueror's re-
marks, which were uttered IN an apollo
getio one. Sharkey then rushed to the
ring side and leaning on the ropes, shout
ed: Il am now ready to meet Fitzsim-
mons, Corbett, Mccoy Or any other man
for the heavy championship Of the world. -
Sharkey was cheered as he walked
through the mass of people on his way
to his dressing room. Ruhlin came to
very quickly and was able to walk to his
dressing room without assistance. When
the fight opened Rubin was the first to
land, but Sharkey quickly replied. His
arms swung like fails and as his gloves
landed on Ruhlin's head it was. seen at
once that Rubin had not chance on
earth against his onslaught. The knock
out blow was hard ring swing which
reached Ruhlin's jaw in proper spot.
Gus went down as If felled with an axe
and lay partly on his elbow and stomach.
He tried to get up, but could not. while
the referee was counting the ten SECONDS
which would end the encounter. Rub
lin was beaten after the first swing land
ed and Sharkey' 5 stock in the pugilistic
market went soaring as high as rocket.
Rubin as soon as he got his clothes on,
left the building looking none the worse,
while Sharkey went away surrounded
by q host of SnOrts

dress and the manner in which she gave
it, proved her to be more than equal to
her position. The subject of her speech,

portunity for sober word of advice, and
Miss Stevenson made telling hit. by
the comparis N of the ''derelict'' in the
seas, drifting without aim to the human
deielict and she begged her classmates
not to be without aim or purpose. Miss
Stevenson was very graceful in her ad-
dress to the class of '99; to the members
of the school committee, who had decided
to confer the diplomas upon the boys who
had enlisted to the ''Honored
Principal" and "Dear Teachers" who
had done SO much to help them; as well
as to the members of the class of 'ss, who
were so soon to say good by to the dear
old Portland High school,
Then followed the comforting Of the
diplomas by Mr.. Albert Hall, chairman
of the High school committe, who ad
dressed the class in a few fitting words,
and soon the one hundred and eight of
the class of '9S. were no longer members
of the Portland High school. Then the
three diplomas were conferred on the
three boys from the Montauk, Wilbur A.

On the entrance OF the class, the members
were greeted with a hearty round of ap-
plause, an especially vooiferous one,
when the young men of the class entered,
who are now on the Montauk.
The exercises opened with the singing
of the class ode, the words of which were
written by Miss Frances A. Woodward,
the music by Mr.. Francis j. Weloh, after
which DR.. Fem made solemn and
earnest invocation.
Miss Elizabeth M. Smith recited in a
very clear manner her essay on woman,
Then and Now" in which she dwelt
much Of the influence of Addison on the
women of England, and of the influence
of the "Salon" upon those Of France.
For today, the ideal is the combination
of the womanly qualities, and the social
virtues of tact and esprit.
Mr.. Richard B. Dole then delivered in
very stirring fashion, "The Last Speech
of Lincoln" in which vigorous words
were spoken for Kansas, that 1t must
come In as free state. A piano quartette
was then played very pleasingly by the
Misses Chapman, Linsoott, Robinson and
James B. Mason. The essay Of "The
Greatest Name in Literature" was
oharmingly delivered by Miss Mabelle L.
Waite. Miss Waite said that few barren
facts, gathered from the Parish Register

account of his greatness, however, it
matters little. ii we do not know much Of
his life, for we live in his artistic

between the two plays of Macbeth and
Merchant of Venice, and closed her essay
