good sized and interested crowd gathered
at the Club rooms on Monday evening, attracted
by the varied and lengthy program proffered.
Master of the Ceremonies Graham, Vice Pres.
ident of the organization, made few remarks
anent the already ordered paraphernaia of the
Club and the possibility of fight being arranged
between Denny and Armstrong, now playing at
the Orpheum. Mr.. Ryan officated most salts
factory as referee throughout the bouts, six of
the Quintette ~ Club furnished music between
whites, and the whole evening passed off in
remarkably smooth and enjoyable manner.
Trilby, local boy filled an interlude with some
trick riding, and involuntary volunteers in the
shape of Jim Post, with Jock Mcguire as his
lady love, danced cake walk in the ring. Billy
Armstrong and his partner O'Neill happened in
before the final bout, with Hamilton Hill and
Fish story Walton. Armstrong was presented
to the Club and expressed his willingness to ac.
cept any reasonable proposition. Hill was
called upon and readily responded with solo,
which, unaccompanied as it was, proved most
acceptable to his audience.
Andrae and Decker fought four rounds TO
draw, with perhaps shade in favor of Decker
considering the superior reach and weight Of his
opponent.
Scott and comrade, two soldiers of the 3d.
gave an entertaining bout. Scott, who was

The Orpheum.

Boggs deserves credit for the minstrel frs,
part. 1t is distinct change and very well
stage managed, besides containing quite an
attractive program. Armstrong as corner
man is tour-de-force, but then man of such
pugistc tendencies ought to be able to make
hit. He and Boggs share the honors as story
teers and Armstrong quite shines as song
ster Adams is respondent in Lady of Lyons
costume the little Orpheum mascot and the
ladies in tasteful dress, present very pleasing
ensemble. Armstrong and O'Neill put on a
sketch that has seen the light of day before in
Honolulu, though not under its present Dutch
guise. The rest of the "turns' have been
changed and continue to draw FL Nino Eddy
and Chandler and Mcpherson close this week.

Denny and Armstrong Matched.

Honolulu is to have in the near future a box
ing contest with more than the ordinary elements
of interest in its favor The two boxers, Martin
Denny and Armstrong, have both their coterie
of hackers, while both sides concede that the
match will be a close one. Denny will have to
concede about fifteen pounds to his antagonist,
expecting to get rid of twelve pounds of super.
fuous flesh before the day. He will probably
enter the ring at about l2O pounds, while Arm
strong will train down to the neighborhood of
lao. Both the men are clever boxers, and the
meeting should be an exciting one. The match
takes place under the auspices of the Oceanic
Athletic Club. MIR. Joseph Cohen, the manager
OF the Orpheum, is the practical promoter of the
enterprise, and it is rumored may referee the
affair. The men go into training Immediately,
the date not yet being definitely fixed but ap.

will welcome the news that Mr.. Hill has closed
a contract for extension of four weeks. OF
Mr.. Hills voice we have spoken before suffice
it to say, that by its inherent quality and timbre
its excellent training, it has rendered the lucky
owner the most popular ballad singer that has

lover of good music, it is pleasure to hear Mr.

what crab fashion. He was decidedly clever,
however, and had his man outclassed and
groggy in the third round. He was given the
decision. His opponent hurt his left wrist during
the bout
The two bantam lightweights, young Decker
of Honolulu, and Jones of the SD, were loudly
appauded. Both did good work. but Decker
proved the cleverer lad, gaining the decision.
Hall and Herman, two other military aspirants
of the glove, made things lively for four rounds.
Herman forced matters and overweighted Hall.
He created some amusement in the second
round by missing his man in swing and seat.
ing himself on the floor Herman lost his pre-.
vous advantage in the last round and the referee
rendered the affair draw.
The event of the evening, six round contest
between Martin Denny, the Clubs instructor,
champion lightweight of Australia, and Lam.
bert, lately appointed member of the police
force, went off most satisfactorily Lambert
had an advantage in height and reach which
gave him some chance against the superior sci.
ence of his antagonist. Denny easily gained
the position points and would have showed
to much better advantage had his opponent
possessed a more intimate knowledge of the
manly art. Lambert however stood we'll up to
his work, taking his punishment good naturally
and we'll. Denny was not called upon to show
much leg-work, but displayed some very pretty
arm work and great quickness at countering.
His head work in lodging Lambert's swings
created considerable amusement.
CONTEST BY ROUNDS.
Round l.. The men made some hot ex-
changes. Denny doing most of the leading.
Round .. Denny got in a pretty left on
Lambelt's jaw. Lambert returns but misses
his man.
Round 3. Lambert lightly reaches Denny,
who does all the leading. Denny gets to his jaw
and Lambert counters lightly on chest. Denny
gets in hot one on the neck. Lambert begins
to weaken this round.
Round T. Denny again leads and at third
exchange gets we'll under the jaw with right.
In mix Denny finishes with hard jab on
Lamberts stomach, visibly affecting that gen.
tleman's equanimity and wind
Round B. Lambert leads, Denny feints for
opening. Lambert warns up little this round
and Denny being trihe careless gets touched
ON face. Denny forces the pace. Hitting light
Round 6. Denny spars for an opening; Lam
bert for wind. Denny gets on heart, on jaw
and neck repeatedly. Lambert too slow and
tagged.
