Orpheum on Saturday evening and CHAD
dened the hearts of the promoters of the
fistic enterprise. All the sports Were
there and it was evident from the outset
that the crowd was good natured and
very demonstrative one.
The ring, which was 1G-foot one, was
arranged on the stage and garnished
with all the time-honored appurtenances
of the squared circle. To the right of
the ring sat the chiefs of the police de-
partment and the members of the bar
and bench, while across the arena
number of seats were reserved for men,
bers of the press and hos omne genera,
who are always to be found freezing TO
the ropes when a fight is billed.
The master of ceremonies opened the
ball with an announcement to the effect
that no decisions would be given, the
task OF adjudicating the awards being
left to the audience.
Denver" Ed Smith and I-ongshorema
Jack Mansfield were the first couple to
unloosen. Mansfield was built finely. he
| has the shoulders of a Hercules and as
much heart as a canary. Smitn had him
meSmerized as soon as e entered the
ring Mansfield did not attempt to strike
/ and box some" said Smith to him; "hit
YOU don't I'll bloomin' well it on" Still
Mansfield backed gracefully round the
ring. The crowd Missed, jeered and moot
ed and this so embarrassed Smith that
he handed the dub welt on the jaw.
That's too hard" squealed the dub, as
1 he made a move as If to hit Smith. When
I the crowd saw this they feared an ARRAY
. and yelled fight" When the farce con-
Guided the audience gave audible thanks.

hibition between two nice looking young
men named jackson. Neither We're over
