JEFFRIES-SHARKEY.

The return of the Jeffries and
Sharkey pictures to Opera House
on Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday afternoon will no doubt
tend to revive the discussion as to
the merits of the decision in the
great fistic encounter between JET
fries and Sharkey. There is one
thing certain. and that is that there
are the only real pictures, and they
give the entire twenty-five rounds.
After they have been seen, people
will be able to decide for them
selves whether Referer Siler's de-
cision was robbery or not The
pictures are pronounced the best
productions ever made. They are
exceedingly clear; there is none of
that sudden jumping from one pc
sition to another, and the figures
and details are depicted with
fidelity,
