Several changes have been made in
the plans for the next show of the
North End Athletic club. The date,
March 10, is the same, but the arena
has been transformed from the quar-
tcrs of the club to the Grand Opera
house. It was found that it would be
impossible TO arrange matters at the
club rooms in time 10 hold the show
there on the date decided on, so ar
rangemcnts were made TO secure the
Grand Opera house on that night.
Tile main event will be, of course,
the wrestling bout between Frank
Davey and Jack Burke, OF Kingston,
ont Besides this there will be more
wrestling, plenty of boxing, club
swinging, bag punching, dancing and

Strapp, "the midgcts," Smith vs.. Jcn-
klns. The Smith Shapp 20 will prob
ably be for six rounds and the others
will probably go four rounds each.
The clever Parker Brothers bag punch
ers who were in Akron with the Tom
Jenkins show have been secured and
they will put ON their act.

Athletic club is pleased with the out
