 over the fact that nearly 1000 persons men, women and children, attended the
 exhibition. The prices or admission were 25 and 50 cents. The great hall appeared to be nearly ready for the big affair of February 15. Many can- non stoves scarcely kept the audience
 comfortable.

 Athletic club. made an address thank 1 ing those present for this expression of their sympathy for his fellow members

 speech. The exercises consisted of | 1 letic exhibitions by Turner's and oth-
 CTS. The promoters express quite as 1 much if not more. confidence in pull | ing off the fight than ever before. The

 for Ruhlin is just as anxious to meet Jeffres as the champion Is to tackle
 Gus. From what I have heard the
 bout will probably he settled at San
 Francisco Most of the clubs ont
 there have been after the event. Iris
