GOVERNOR STOPS THE FIGHT
sherin is Ordered to Prevent Nc
Govcrn-COrbett Contest sched-
uled for Detroit.

LANSING, Mich, Dec. Ex-Governor Bliss
will not permit the McGovern- Corbett fight
which was to AVE been held in Detroit next
month.
He wrote his afternoon to Sheriff Dick
son of Wayne county, calling his attention
to the law on the subject and telling him
that he expected him to see that the fight
was not held in Detroit.
In the letter the governor calls the
sherin's attention to the decisions of the
supreme court against fights in Michigan,
and tells him that IL he needs assistance to
prevent the fight It will be given him.
DETROIT, Dec. 19.-Matchmaker Consi-
dine of the Metropolitan Athletic club in
sists that the proposed McGovern Corbett
bout is not to be a prize fight, but a spar
ring contest, within the law.
He says a bout under similar articles will
be given in Light Guard armory next Friday
night and that the law will be tested. Con
sidine declares hat McGovern and Corbett
will meet here as planned.
In his letter to Sheriff Dickson Governor
Bliss says:
l understand that what is being called a
sparring match between Young Corbett
and Terry McGovern is being arranged TO
take place In Wayne county some time In
January, 1903.
Complaint has been made 10 me that
this sparring contest is to be a prize fight.
In contemplation OF the statute prohibiting
contests Of this character, and after maxi
Ing such Investigations as were possible, 1
have come to the conclusion that the con-
test as ranged to be held comes within
the definition OF a prize fight, as laid down
by the supreme court. l hereby re-
quest and direct that you take such steps
as may be necessary to prevent the taking
place OF these prize fights.

The Hochmaa Recital.

This was the program which attracted ALI
too few OF the music lovers Of Omaha to
the Kountze Memorial church last night,
but the audience was aggressively enthusi-
astic, demanding the best powers OF the
distinguished young pianist, Arthur Hosh-
man.
Mr.. HICKMAN, OF course, will be spoken
OF as exeelling in Chopin or List, or what
ever ones predictions are in connection
with such a program. But to the sense OF
the critic. who is not a pianist, by actual
experience. but is yet a lover OF the music
OF the p~ianistic realm Of composition,
HICKMAN appeared 10 be q musician who
is full OF temperament. who has abundant
technique, ponderous or buoyant, strong or
delicate, as the occasion demands.
He proeures a tone which is strikingly
diapason In quality. and which rings full
Of richness. and again he fascinates ono by
his Beautiful pianissimos. His thrilling"
to borrow from the vocalist. is a marvel
Of eleanness and accuracy. which perhaps
suggests the answer 10 the question one Is
tempted to ask. whether he does not some
times aacrihce the general idea Of a phrase
TO the establishment Of its termination.
His bringing out Of contrapuntal treat
ment OF themes is decidedly original, and
the general effect OF his playing Is in
creased notably by the fact that one feels
that he is listening 10 an honest. straight,
forward, convincing and highly magnetic
