THE GREAT CROWD.

Weeks ago. when seats were first put
on sale, shrewd people who lived quite
a long distance from this city either
wrote or wired for seats to be reserved,
and BY doing so saved themselves a lot
of trouble on their arrival here.
Today not a seat was to be had at the
clubhouse after o'clock, and those
Who had not made early provision had to
pay exorbitant prices to wideawake spec
ulators. Tickets for seats in the immedi-
ate vicinity of tho ring brought fabulous
prices tonight. The original cost Of these
seats was $50 each, but tonight twice that
sum could not purchase one of them,
and two seats brought 500 piece Other
tickets costing from S to SIS, brought
prices two and three-fold, and the club
management did not put any of the s.
admission tickets on SALE Anxious sports
paid IS and in many cases IS for the priv
ilege of standing up at the extreme ends
of the building.

ended with sharkey at his man.
Round 2-Corbett. with his left. landed
lightly. He kept trying to push his left

come right back with swing for the
body. He was inclined TO be a little wild

seemed TO bring blood to that member,
sharkey put in a right hand smash on
the jaw. which sent Corbett down. He

GUS than the sale itself. This is how the
people of Bridgeport will be given an op-
portunity of taking advantage of one of

Frank Miller, the Coal dealer, and others
of Bridgeport, controlled over 35 stores

all kinds. There were hundreds of lamps,
clocks, chairs, tables and the choicest

cutlery OF all kinds. fancy china pieces,
vases and other articles too numerous to
mention. The court ordered that the
business cease within 80 days. There
was no time to sell the goods and they
were shipped to Bridgeport. Mr. Davis
and Mr. jackson made an offer for the
entire lot and it was accepted. The offer
was far below the manufacturing prices
of the articles themselves and now they
will be disposed of to the public and the
people will snap them up quickly. Ii

no auction. The articles will be marked
and the sale conducted in satisfactory

disposed of. The store where the sale is
conducted is located on the east side of

The fierce rain storm of last Sunday
afternoon and night did not improve the
travelling on the roads much, but shovel
ed off the snow in lively way, and the
drifts diminished more that half in size
of their former greatness. Some excit-
ing times we're experienced by the first
travellers out In the morning. Ex-Select-
man George P. Sanford was one of the
first to get into the pitfalls between here
and the depot, when he took Miss Fair
man, to the early train. He did not get
upset but came awfully near to it, and
his experience was repeated by num-
Der of teams. A road was made around
the drifts beside the road until some
more shoveling could be done, when the
main thoroughfare was made safe once
more. John j. Northrop also had a
lively Experience in trying to get up
from Sugar street. His horse got down
in the drifts and when he got it unhar-
messed and the sleigh righted it was
headed toward home. The rain soaked
and ran away all day Monday, and by
night it commenced to freeze and stiffen
up so that getting around was not so
perilous. Very fortunately the ground
was not fro zen and absorbed most of the
excess wet, for had it been hard there
would without doubG have been one of
the worst floods this section had ever
experienced.
