Interest in Big Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 25.-Inter-

occurs tonight, is at fever heat today.
The poolrooms are thronged. and betting Is
brisk, though no very large wagers have
been recorded. The odds are still in favor
of Fitzsimmons. the rate ranging from 10
to to 10 to g. Many men not usually
known to bet on a glove contest have put
money on Fitzsimmons on the strength of
his reputation. The hackers of Gardner

the Cornishman will surely meet his Water

auxiliary bishop of the diocese Of Indian
apolis- The Bishop of Pomario said
1T is not necessary for me to say word
In praise of Bishop Chatard for the reason
that the magnificent assembiage Iromi
north. east, south and west has accen-
tuated this praise more than / could do.
The members of the clergy who got up this
affair are delighted with its success and
you have made them happy by your pres
ence, your affection for our beloved bishop
and your enjoyment of this occasion.
Here in this diocese we know the bishop
well. We have known him, we believe,
more intimately than anybody. We do not
even feel like giving way 10 his older friends
in affection for him. l recall perfectly
the events of the day he reached Indian
apolis for the first time He was met by
the Governor of the State and the mayor of
the city and escorted to his residence by
magnificent procession. The assemblage
that greeted him only equaled by this.
He was well known by great men and schol-
ars at the time; but there were no great
men here then. Under his training few
of us have become great. Reared in Bal
timore, the home of American Catholicism,
the friend of two Pontiffs and of countless
dignitaries, he came here when it was all
up hill and down hill and hard hickory.
But he never has shown the slightest desire
other than to live with the clergy and his
/, people and to uFbuild his diocese. He has
shown himself tie worthy successor of the
distinguished bishops who preceded him.
He was the immediate successor of one
whom we all liked, the sainted st. Palais
st. Palais began as a missionary, not as
a professor, and he left his imprint on the
wilderness. But his successor has worthily
carried forward the work begun by ST.
Palais and the others who came before.
There has been no time in the life OF
| Bishop Chatard that he would not close UP
one of those great tones that make the
| heads of small men ache to talk to a child.
| He has seen the necessity for teaching the
| children, for without that the faith cannot
| and will not live among the people. He
| has ardently butt up the great cause. He
| has always beer near to the priests. He
| has always encouraged them and has been
slow to find fault While 1 would make no
/ comparisons. because of the presence here
| from other States of distinguished bishops
and clergy, yet believe that there is no
place where the clergy are more united
and devoted to the cause than Indianapolis.
IT wish to express to his Eminence and
| the bishops and priests and to the senator's

the pleasure Of the clergy in having them
with us. desire also to propose the health
Of the Rt. Rev. Bishop OF indianapolis to
wish him long years Of happiness and in
the end everlasting life"
Again the toast was drunk standing
Bishop Chatard was much affected by the
evidence of affection.
REV. ANTHONY SCHEIDELER.
The Very Rev. Anthony Scheideler, ". G.,
made an address in behalf of the clergy.
At the conclusion of his speech he handed
Bishop Chatard an envelope containing a
check for $780,! the gift of the diocese.
Father Scheideler said:
In 1879. when our beloved jubilarian had
beeh year and half bishop. I was in
Rome and had an audience with the Holy
Father. He asked me, How is Bishop
ChataId?' / repped to his question and he
from the PontiG is the best sentiment /
can propose to Bishop Chatard
Here in this diocese we are Irish,
French, German, of varied nationality but
he has united as into strong army FOR
the church. He has given the diocese a
standing of which we are proud to-day.
We have built churches grand and beauti-
full in indianapolis, Terre Haute Rich
mond--" A voife suddenly broke in with.
French Lick" Yes" continued Father
Scheideler. 'Freach Lick. No parish in
the diocese is pverburdened with debt.
There is no diocese that has finer country
parishes than ours. There are fine
churches modest priesthouses and modern
schools. We educate our children and
make them good Catholics and good citi-
zens of the STATE and Nation. If his
Eminence thinks we have timber for the
presidency | can assure him we can also
raise timber for, bishops. Within a year
the Holy Father chose two out of our
midst for episcopal honors.
Il need not say one more word / can
prove the regard OF the clergy for the
bishop by this" He handed Bishop Chat
ard the check fer 5000. Now" he con-
cluded. II propose we rise and give three
good German cheers for the bishop
The bdnQuetera stood up and three
mighty "Hochs"i ascended 10 the ceiling
while the venerable prelate blushed with
pleasure.
BISHOP CHATARDS RESPONSE.
When Bishop e-hatard arose to respond
his voice trembled with emotion. Speaking
in a low tone at f,rst he thanked the priests
of the diocese fT the generous gift and
declared Ii should 60 toward the cathedral
on which he has set his hopes. Bishop
Chatards response was as follows:
II thank you very much for this kind
evidence of your good feeling toward my
self | do not accept altogether what has
been said SO warmly by SO many. They
said that which, IL would not do 10 ex-
anime too closely. am most grateful for
your generosity. This sum shall be used
for the cathedral which we hope 20 see
built here before long. There Is a great
