sui General here on November s, 1897, was
a prominent citizen in his own country
and served with distinction in the war
between Chile and Peru. He was COM
mander of the Second Brigade of the
Chilean army and displayed unusual
bravery at the taking of Arequipa, and it
was largely in recognition of his nero
ism there that he was accorded his i'm
portant post in the diplomatic service.

ters,, who. though he vas was at 1f one II time me

and strong.' A statement which proved
to be no joke for poor Mccoy.
The meeting of the two heavy weights
will be watched with interest by those
fortunate enough to be at the ringside.
strangely enough the two fighters are
hiuch alike in manner, though far from
similar in appearance. Jeffries is Il big
powerful youngster. symmetrical and
graceful. Sharkey has a top-heavy look.
But in the method of attack, they are
alike. The am crouching posture is at
feeted by both. That STOPPING manner.

F~itzsimmons out n destroyed all his
calculations is familiar to Sharley who
meets his man ia the same way.

With one arm outstretched, the other on

shoulder and the tip of the jaw. 1t is
hard to get either to turn straight and
race his antagonist: and so they will ap-
proach and dance away from Zach other,
each landing with difficulty upon the
other.
II will wager" said the manager of an
other Well known heavy weight. that
not a blow will be landed in the first
round. l will put even money with any
man that up to the tenth neither will be
the worse. In the twelfth round Shar-
key Will show WEAKNESS and if Jeffries

battle would be fought in San Francisco.
At that time there We're several clubs or
gallized on the coast to secure the fpht.
and as the promoters of the clubs an
noui''ed that they would give as high as
10000 for the contest everything seemed
to favor the Pacific Coast clubs.
Just to show what an enormous
amount of money Jeffries and Sharkey
are expected to battle for, it can be
quoted that when the match was ar
ranged the managers of both fighters de-
clined a purse of $50, 900 for the bout. This
was offered to Tome O'Rourke by Billy
Brady. who said to O'Rourke, as they
both stood at the bar in the Vanderbilt
hotel: Il will give a purse of $500 600 for
the fight"
II don't want it, as I think there will be
a larger purse put up for the fight" re
piled O'Rourke.
"What do you think the largest purse
offered will amount to-" O'Rourke was
asked.
1T will be over $50, 900, as I think that
if the fight is fought in his vicinity the
receipts of the show will reach nearly
500. 00O," he replied.
Jeffries will be the favorite in the east.
Betting is now at two to one on him and
it is likely to go up to three. 1t is even
money that will knock the Sailor out be
fore the ninth round.
The points in Jeffries' favor are the
q%uickness of his blows and his absolute
GOODNESS at the ringside. Mccoy, himself,

than 1effries. He waits, then delivers

they smoked and chatted and listened to
