Great Interest in the Coming
Corbett- Jeffries Bout.
Betting Is Light, but Still 2 to | on
the Champion.
Both Men Confident-Crowd of 10000
Both Men Confdent-Crowd Of $4,000
Is Expected.

San Francisco, Cal. Aug. 13.-Never
in this city has more interest been
taken in a pugilistic encounter than
is now manifested regarding tomor-
row nights contest between James j.
Jeffries and James j. Corbett. Bet
ting, however, has been comparatively
light at the prevailing odds of to !
in the champions favor. The attend
ance promises to exceed $4,000.
Jeffries is at the Reliance Club in
Oakland. He never looked moe fit in
his life. He slept this morning until
10 o'clock and then disposed OF
hearty breakfast
It's just a little work to keep linn
bered up for the big event." said
Trainer Delaney. "Jeffries will neither
spar nor indulge in road work. He is
as fast as he can be, his wind is per-
feet, his condition is the finest it was
ever in his life, and if 'Corbett whips
him he will be the wonder of the age.
Jeffries himself figures that he will de-
feat Corbett in about 10 rounds. In
his opinion the mill may so Is rounds.
but not more than that
Jeffries is heavier than he has ever
been at the close of training for any
of his engagements and to the men
who handle him this condition is most
plea sing.
When seen. today, at his training
quarters, Corbett said: Il would be
willing to lose one of my arms if r
can defeat Jeffries." He added: Il
know Jeffries is a big, rough fellow,
but nothing can discourage me. If the
betting were 100 to in favor of JEFF
fries it would make no difference. L

tai man could do for the last 10 months
TO get into condition for this fight. and
now that have about finished my
work I am satisfied. / am fit to make

getting ahead. DR.. Wilkes was able
to slack to a jog at the wire, having
an easy finish and big lead.
The second heat of the free-for-all
was a race, all right. There was much
more scoring than in the first heat,
but the start was a good one. Long
Point and Parker S. picked up Early
Bird at the start and drove him hard
all through, but the brown gelding evil
IDENTIFY had the goods and kept the lead
all right 1t was a hot finish. it being
very close between Long Point and
Parker S. for second place.
The third heat of the 2.25 was a
handsome one. DR.. Wilkes had the
lead. all right, but staid with the
bunch. All the horses staid together
all through the first half, each one
holding practically the same position.
But. DR.. Wilkes began to pull away
in the second half and the bunch be-
gan to string out. Rhode West went
a pretty mile and was second most
of the time. 1t was Il pretty fight
all through. behind DR.. Wilkes.
The third heat of the free-for- all
was the best of the race, if not of the
afternoon Early Bird was worried a
good deal by Rex Wilkes and Long
Point, but won out all right, as he
seemed to have too much speed for
them. But it was hot fight and any
skin would have lost the heat for Early
Bird. 1t made good close for the
afternoons sport.

LEAKING BADLY.
Damage to Battleship Massa-
chussetts Is Serious.
Several Compartments Fu|I--A|I Heavy
Stuff Taken Off.
Board of Inquiry Convened to Sit on
the Case.

Ear Harbor, Me-. Aug. 13.-The
caused by striking on Egg Rock shoal,
yesterday, are more serious than the
first examination indicated. Not only
are the forward compartments full of
water but the ship is leaking farther
aft, and divers have been at work all
day trying to locate the defective part.
The collier Lebanon and a govern
ment tug have been alongside nearly
all day and have taken on board ali the
ammunition, anchors and heavy stores
in order to tighten the ship forward.
She now floats in a natural position,
but is drawing about 10 inches more
water than usual.
Considering the great weight that
was taken from her by the collier and
tug it is very evident that an enormous
quantity of water must be inside in
order to put a ship of her size down ten
inches.
Late this afternoon, the Indiana,
Massachusetts, Lebanon and Hartford
came down to the lower harbor and
anchored. The Massachusetts anchor
cd near Bald Porcupine. 1t is said that
the object in changing was to get into
more shallow water, where, in case
the watertight bulkheads gave way, or
the leak becomes more serious the
ship could not sink in deep water.
Capt. Eaton has not been instructed
as to what will be done with the ship,
but it is evident that she will remain
here until the extent of the injuries
! can be definitely learned
This morning, Capt. Emory of the
Indiana, who is the ranking officer,
convened board of inquiry consist
| ing of Capt. Emory of the Indiana,
| the captain of the Hartford, Capt.
| Mertz of the Newport, Lieut.. Com
manders Van Dusen, Hobson and
! Shultz. 1t is evident that the injuries
! to the Massachusetts are more serious
| than her officers are willing to adj
| nit.

evening, in the fog on her way down
from Bath, went ashore on the beach
in front of the Riverside hotel, between
the fort and the wharf, and remained
there a couple of hours. 1t was nearly
low water, so the steamer had to re-
main there until the flood tide lifted
her off. No damage was done.

The statue to- Col. Henderson to be
unveiled in the little town of Clement,
in Fayette county next week, has at
tracted the attention of the New York
Tribune, which devotes whole page
to the achievements ofSculptor Rhind,
the creator of the Henderson monu-
ment, which Ex-Governor Larrabee
will present to Clement. The statue
represents the Colonel leaning on a
crutch with gavel in his right hand,
calling the house of representatives to
order. The ex-speaker is presented in
heroic attitude. Sculptor Rhind has
made statue of Gen. G. M. Dodge,
of Council Bluffs and New York
The two statues will stand at the en-
terance of the Iowa building at st.
Louis next year, after which they will
be returned to Iowa. 1t is not every
living statesman who can see his like
ness in bronze, but such an honor is
to befall these two foremost Iowans.
Ex-Governor Larrabee thought out
the Henderson statue not only because
of his great friendship for the Iowa
colonel and statesman, but for the
liking he took to the sculptor, who,
according to the testimony of the New
York Tribune, has been making an
exceptional record for himself. He
has made the bronze pieces for num-
Der of the finest buildings in NewYork
and Pittsburg. Cedar Rapids Repub-

''Kill your dog" says an exchange
land buy pig with the dollar you
save on dog tax. The scraps you
feed the dog would make the pig
weigh 300 and then you could sell it
and give the money to your wife. "
Yes, kill your dear, old, faithful,
mindful, thankful, trusted dog and
buy pig. But when you come home
after a hard days work don't expect
that same pig to meet you two blocks
away with joyful little cry of well
come at every jump. Sometimes when
you feel unusually "blue" and it
seems that the whole world was knock

pig to nestle to your side and laying
its head within your lap wag out its
unalloyed sympathy. Don't expect il
to forsake its meal of scraps" just

The Northwestern railroad has done
most sensible thing in tabooing Sun
day excursions and in reducing to the
minimum all freight and passenger
traffic. The reason for this action on
the part of the president is due first to
desire to give every man in the
employ of the company full days
rest, and second, to save expense.
President Hughitt figures it out that
one train wreck on Sunday, due to
some failure on the part of an over
worked train crew, costs the company
more money than can be earned in a
month of Sunday excursions. The or
der extends to all lines of the North
western system and will be rigidly en-
forced.-What Cheer Patriot.
