RYAN RESTS CRAIG.

NEW YORK, September 1S-Tommy
Ryan, the Syracuse middle-weight pug
list, gave Frank Craig. the Harlem
Coffee Cooler, a terrible drubbing before
1000 persons at the Coney Island Sport
ing Club tonight Craig only recently
returned from England, where he has
been making quite reputation and
plenty of money for some three years
past. That Ryan would defeat him was
generally believed, but from the glow
ing accounts of Craig's doings among
the Britons, everyone looked for a
much better fight than that which the
colored man put up. He knocked Ryan
down in the second round, but never
afterwards did he hold the upper hand
His actions in the ninth round were
disappointing, as he went down five
times to avoid punishment His face
was battered out of all shape when he
came up for the tenth round, and if
Referee Siler had not interefered and
stopped the bout, Ryan would certainly
have finished his job and put an end to
Craig's fighting career before the close
of the round.
Both men were in splendid condition,
and each, when he weighed in two
hours previously, was under 15S
pounds. Craig was introduced as
Frank Craig, of England, and this an
nouncement provoked some merriment
and a good deal of Kissing.

Nothing succeeds like success, and Sou

inspiring music. but by his magnetic

His Better Half is a peach the
small bills say, and every person in
the audience which crowded the Grand
Opera House last night, left the theatre
with the conviction that the show is
just what 1t was advertised. Ii is a
very funny farce. with just the sus-
plclon OF plot, and it is enacted bv a
company which embraces many vaude-
vile favorites. OF course Boyle and
Graham had stellar roles, and contrib
uted the major portion OF the merri-
ment. MIR. Boyle's imitation of 'tSousa
is extremely funny, and Miss Graham S

the creation of Rose Melville The
Moss family, old Wheeling favorites,
are in the large company. The piece
made decided hit last night, and will
be presented TO crowded houses, no
doubt during the remainder of the
half weeks engagement.

A. r. and the Sons of Veterans. have
everywhere endorsed the musical and
military spectacle, conceived by DR.. G.
E. Conterno, of Conterno's famous con-
cert band, of New York city. and the

authorities as General Miles and Admi-
raj John w. Phillip, of the battleship
