THE ELKS' FAIR.
Will Open at City Hall on Monday
 Night.

Nl& llls
 Many fairs have been given in the city during the past few years and some have been brilliant successes. But the committee in charge of the Elks' bazaar, which will open in the City hall on next Monday night and will continue for the remainder of the week, intends to have this bazaar eclipse in splendor and brilliancy any affair ever given by any organization in this city. Accordingly they have spert much money and time in ar ranging for4the bazaar and in securing at big expense many brilliant attrac- tions. They offer to the public of Waterbury the largest amount of cash prizes that has ever been given away by any club in the state. For the small sum of ten cents a person has a chance to win $1.5O0. Think of it! Not less than $1.O00 is offered as a capital prize. Is it any wonder that the combination tickets are selling like hot cakes and that the demand for them is enormous. Besides the $1,- 600 in cash prizes, a round trip ticket to the magnificent exposition 4'Which will be held at St Louis during the coming year Is offered. What society in the state has ever offered such pre- miums for so little monev?
 For each night in the week the com mittee has arranged splendid enter tainment. ! The wonders of the day, the 'Vaidis Sisters who perform well nigh impossible feats on the trapeze, will appear each night. But the Vai- dis Sisters are not the only attraction. Pearl, the fat girl, whose size is enor- nous, will receive every night. Don't forget her, one of the curiosities of the age. Space prevents special mention of numerous other attractions of sl- perior nature.
 The hall will be transformed into a scene of wealth and beauty It Will not be recognized, so great is the transformation accomplished by the decorators art There will be a num- Der of booths, prettily arranged and yastefully and profusely decorated.
 Monday might will witness the laFg- est crowd that has ever gathered ID yhe City hall. The Elks have proved themselves royal entertainers and give Yhe people more than their money s worth. The public knows this ana accordingly patronizes the Elks, aT- fairs in large numbers.
 The fair will be inaugurated with q big torchlight parade which will leave the City hall at T:30 Monday evening, headed by Fulton's band of 10 pieces.
 A good many people will have a hurried midday meal next Monday. They will he on hand at the City hall it 12:45 D. m. to see the Valdis Sisters make their thrilling dive for life from the top of the highest chimney on the City hall into net erected on the Sco- EilI house ruins. This hair-raising feat will be repeated at the above hour every day during the week.

 St Louis, Oct 31.-JocBey Sheeha1i was indefinitely suspended yesterday by the fair grounds judges for his ride on Miss Crawford. Miss Crawford was at I to 2, and ran third Sheehan has been riding for George Bennett. Bennett has first call on his services. His contract is held by Frank Phillips, Fred Cooks trainer. Miss Crawford ran bad race, and there is no doubt at all there was something wrong about it. Sheehan claims the horse was dead under him.
 Henry McDaniel who trains for Ben nett, takes sides with the jockey. He says he would not have allowed Shee- han to ride Miss Crawford for w. w. Darden if he had been there in time.
 MT Darden was called into the judges stand after the race and asked if he was satisfied with the ride. He said he was not. He said he had i'm structed SIeehan to get the horse in good position, take her along nicely and give her her head when they reached the stretch turn.
 Sheehan got off well, but dropped back He allowed Miss Crawford to fall pretty we'll out of the race. Com ing into the stretch he swung wide, los ing several lengths. Down the guar. terstretch he went to the whip, but many who witnessed the race from the betting fence shouted at him in deris- ion Be careful, don't hit the horse or she will win' Others declare Shee- han used the whip on his bootleg.
 Miss Crawford was not the only beaten favorite. It was hard day on public choices. Lucian, at 10 to l.; Happy Chappy, at 8 to 1, and Kings Court. at 15 to i, were successful out siders. The other events went to the second choices.

The Manner of Delivering the
 Knock Out Blow

Fitzsimmons Killed a Man With It
 and John L. Sullivan Came Close to
 It. Six Rounds of Good Fighting Be
 tween Twin Sullivan and Jack Will
 Hams Kid Garter Says He Is ill
 Good Shape for Coming Fight
 There has been much discussion rela- hive to the most dangerous blow in sboxing. There is no most dangerous 'blow. Each fighter is method unto himself in that. Bob Fftzsimmons uses hook, which has killed man -Con Riordan. It is delivered with a crooked and stiffened arm accom- panied by a swing of the shoulder. The blow lands full on the point of the Jaw and carries it's impetus with it after the moment of impact This jolts the jawbone up against those of the skull. and was the same as that which put Jim Hall ''out'' for half an hour at New, Orleans. Kid Lavigne hastened the death of Andy Bowen with a straight uppercut under the chin, which threw back the head with jolt sufficient to jar the nerve extending from the base Of the brain to the spinal column. Kilrain was near to death under the force of that severe body blow which John l.. Sullivan found so effective. Guydo, the French boxer. who met Jeffries in Paris, IS said to have spit blood after blow m the stomach from the effects of which, with other complications due to the in jury, he died. Those who witnessed the agonizing expression on the face of Jim Corbett at Carson when struck on the solar plexrs by Fitzsimmons ap- preciate how near strong and per fectly trained athlete may be to death ax the result of a. well delivered and powerful blow near the heart.

BET TO A STAND STILL.
Not Voice Heard When Chanler
 Shouted $1O,OOO on Mcclellan.

New York. Oct 31.--Not one cent of Low money was to be observed last night, even with the aid of micro scope. Not so many days ago the men who believe MT Low will retain his job were about the city offering 10 to ', and anxious to get all the democratic money they could. Then came lucid interval, and now they are demanding the odds they offered. Even at that price they are shy and timid, and will not bet their money.
 The betting has completely shifted about and the boot is on the other foot and, that foot wears it comfortably, which is more than can be said for it in it's recent position. There is plenty of Mcclellan money in sight all the time. The men who have 1t are anxious to get 1t down, but they can not find a taker anywhere. Last night at the Rossmore Willie Chanler was willing to wager any part of $1O,OOO at 10 to and could not find a cent in sight to cover his money.
 The average odds are 10 to 8. but 10 to7 is freely offered in the uptown district and goes a-begging.
 Michael Redmond, a contractor in the Bronx, bet $500 yesterday that Coroner Berry will be elected presi- dent of the borough. Thomas .Dolan, one of Haffens lieutenants, put up $500 against it. When the campaign opened Haffen was a 4 to 5 favorite.
 While small bets continued to be made in the Wall street district yes terday at even money on the result of the election, the ruling odds for the larger sized bets were 10 to 9 on Nc Clellan F. H. Brooks made bet of $500 to $1,200 with Tfippe Schuy- Ter & Go that Lowe will have 35,OO0 plurality. He said he had commits sion to bet $40O to $500 that Low would win, and that he also would bet $7,O0o to $1o.0o0 on Low.
 J. l.. McCor1nack offered to bet $10O to $500 that Low carries Kings by 10000 or more. Another betting offer made on the curb was $1,O00 even that Devery will not get 15,- GOO votes.
 John Considine said last night that he had bet $1O,OOo against $9,00O with a bookmaker named J. P Stat tery on Mcclellan and that he had S1OO,0OO to wager at the some odds.

oNE ROUND FINISHED IF.

Savannah, Ga, Oct 31.-Herman Mill Ter of Baltimore, who has been either whipping or lighting draws with men he has met in Savannah for the past several months. met his Waterloo Thursday night in Bobby Thompson of Toronto Canada, who Is as we'll known as pacernaker in bicycle riding as he Is as a prize fighter. But one round was needed to do the work. Miller went to the mat under left to the jaw and he could not rise. The men fought at 142 pounds.
 HOT FIGHT AT PHILADELPHIA.
 Philadelphia, Oct 31.-The six slash Ing rounds that Twin Sullivan of Bos- ton and Jack Williams of this city fought at the Broadway Athletic club Thursday night wound up in what looked as much like draw as anything that has been seen here for along time. The two men seemed to be very well matched, and although Sullivan is con sidered a dangerous man. Williams was willing to take his chances and went right at him from the very first. For three rounds 1t looked like Williams's light. He had Sullivan's left eye closed early in the game. but the Twin, who is quite bit the smaller man. put lp a game battle He had to do most of his work on Wiiliams's body, and this began to tell before the end of the third round After this Williams lost some of his speed. and Sullivan kept sending In his body blows and taking much punishment about the head. There was hot fighting all the way through. and at the finish both knew they had not been playing.
 Kid Carter. the South Brooklyn light Heavyweight. declares he is in far bet ter shape for his fight with Joe Wall eott the weIterweight champion than he was the last time he entered the ,sIng. The fight is to be held Tuesday night before the Criterion Athletic club pf Boston Carter is in training at Camden and says that his right hand was bad in the previous contest, and he was afraid to take any chances with t. He Is in fine condition now, and he s confident of beating Walcott.
 When Dick O'Brien of Lewiston, Me, landed a hard right hook on the jaw pf Black Fitzsimmous of Hartford in the third round of their fight Thursday night. he clearly demonstrated his SUI periority over the colored fighter. It was seen from the start that O'Brien was the better man, and, forcing the lighting from the call of time, he sent ais man to the floor several times in he very first round. He seemed to be eack in something like his old-time form and blocked the leads of the col Ired fighter very cleverly. Acting on he aggressive all the time, he had his nan tired before the end of the second pound. The fighting in the third round vas very fast from the beginning, and D'Brien seemed able to land when and where he pleased. winding up the fight with hook to the jaw that sent Fitz- iimmons to the floor for the final lount
