The "Rube" as a Racer.

Ed Baisden, of saucer fame is versatile
if nothing else. He is conceded to be
ore of the best trick bicycle riders in the
country and those who have seen his
work can understand why that should
be- In addition to being a trick rider
he is a vaudeville artist and that is
demonstrated in his turn as ''Rube."
His makeup is clever and not overdone
and his ready wit is something which
always makes a hit. But that is noa
all of Basden. He is bicycle racer
and not very long ago was prominent
figure in the professional class. He
thiks he can still ride and yesterday
suggested to Manager Harry Hague
that he enter and ride tonight. Hague

but soon realized the mistake. Baisden

two thirds mile and five mile profession

The other new faces that will be seen
al the saucer tonight are those of Frank

riding at Salt Lake; Ed Nelson who
has been in Butte since the track opened
but who has not ridden except for Chap

NOW IT is JEFFRIES AND FITz
Rumor of a Frisco Clubs Offer for
Match Between Champion
and 1anky Bob
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Aug. 1.-The statement is
published here that San Francisco club
has offered a large purse for a fight
between Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsim-
mons, that the champion has made great
efforts to get Fitzsimmons to accept this
offer and that the latter has notified
Jeffries that he has the matter under
consideration. The time set for the fight
is said to be next December.
The World says that, Notwithstanding
Fitzsimmons' announced retirement from
the ring, many of those who know the
ex-champions Discrimination to refuse
chance to pull off rich prize, believe
he will take advantage of the reported
offer from the San Francisco club.

Gossip For Local Boxers.

| 1t is said of Jack Wade, who meets
| young Jack Donrelly at the saucer Mon
! day night. that he has the hardest KIND
| of short arm punch. 1t is also said
| that it is the same punch that Donnelly
| wants to beware of, or else he will lind
| himself wandering up queer streets
without guide. Wade has used his
right so many times with good effect,
| that boxers whom he meets. generally

nothing else. That is where they make
! great mistake. though. as Wade can
| hook his left and drop his man as cas-
lily as with the right. He is certainly a
clever fighter and will make his mark.
Donnelly is pretty we'll known in Butte
though he has not had a real hard fight.
He is better known in Denver, where he
boxed a draw with Young Corbett. He
entered the ring on that occasion, when
not in training and not acclmated, SIM
ply to fill in, taking the place of fighter
who was yellow and refused to go on.
He surprised everybody by staying with
Corbett, when the little Denverite had
declared his intention Of making Don
nelly quit in five rounds. After that
Donnelly was poular in Denver and
when he later drew with Buddy King. he
was the idol of the city. Donnelly is
good boxer and hits hard. His greatest
fault is his carelessness in leaving him.
self open when he is going after his man
hard. If he keeps his head. he should
give Wade all kinds of an argument.
Kid Lavelle who meets Jerry McCar-
thy Monday night, is another youngster
who made hit in Denver. Lavelle went
in the ring against some of Denver's
best in his class and when he was sick at
that.
He got decision after decision and was
so popular that when Morgan Williams
gave him his 4uietus, there was nothing
but praise for the game boxer who had
nerve enough to go against a man who
outweighed and outclassed him. The
Lavelle- Mccarthy fight Monday night
should be as good, If not better, fight
than the main event.

RARE COMBINATION.
The Floral and Electrical Display mt
the Pan-American Exposition.

There is a saying that FLOWERS are
the poetry OF earth, as stars are the
poetry OF heaven" If this be true, the
beauty of the floral effects to be seen
at the Pan-American Exposition will be
pronounced as a rare combination Of
both, for never yet at an exposition
have such magnificent effects been
seen as will be visible In some of the
fountain basins at the Pan-American
There beautiful plants and flowers,
kissed to n state OF dewy dazzement
by the falling spray and the glow of
concealed i1candescent lamps, will de-
light the visitor.
At the exposition in Omaha some
little success was obtained in thus
lighting up the flowers and the foliage
of plants in the water basins, and this
has led Henry +. Rustin, chief of the
mechanical and electrical bureau, to at
tempt to enlarge upon what he accom-
plished in Omaha. When thus lighted,
the flowers and plants take upon them
selves new colors, each one seemingly
more beautiful than the color displayed
under full sunlight. Then the little
mystery of where the illumination
comes from is delightful and. knowing
this, the skilled electrician is most care
full to conceal his lamps where least
likely to attract the eye. Perhaps an
artificial leaf, an artificial flower, is
used TO hide the lamp. but its full bril-
liancy is allowed to beam upon the
plant and flowers, making picture
that is lasting. 1t is when such effects
are obtained that the full appreciation
of enjoyment is expressed in the single
word beautiful" 1t was so at Omaha,
and it will be more so at the Pan
American
