A very eloquent and timely address
on the order of Eagles was that which
was delivered by Henry r Rhone,
Esq. Mr.. Rhone was slightly disturb
ed by noises that could hardly be we'll
controlled. but on the whole he could
be well heard.
A poem. that had been written by
Night Marshal @. g. O'Neil, was read
| by NJ. E. Burns The metre was a
little off at times. but it hit local sub
jects and was roundly applauded.
Mrs George Ingram, came to the
fore with contortion exhibition.
The lady did some difficult feats in the
ccntortion line and was recalled foi
her good work. The hit of the even
ing though. was the topical song by
Chas. Arnett. Mr.. Arnett was ex-
tremsely bashful at first. but warmed
up to his song and gave much amuse-
ment as he sung the lines, which re-
fered entirely to members of the order
and had local coloring.
George Ingram followed with Jug
Cling exhibition with Indian clubs
and then Edwin A. Haskell. manager
of the Park Opera house, recited a
we'll known defamation with splendid
effect.
Charles Lennox. contributed his
measure of pleasure to the audience
by doing an old time clog. He sand
ed the floor and his feet kept up
timely clip for a short time.
The band IN usic throughout the ev-
ening was delightfully."- good. under
the leadership of Charles Currier.
Next on the program was the box
ing matches.
The ring was ere cted in the center
of the stage and soon all the neces-
sary articles for a sparring bout were
in readiness.
The first bout was participated in
by Clarence Earl and Fred Barton.
Barton's best punch was right hand
slap ON the shortribs which young
Earl seemed to be unable to avoid.
His side soon assumed rosy hue from
the constant slapping. Earl did we'll
in the last round and it was about
give and take.
The second sparring exhibition was
between Ross McClurg and Gene
Welch. 1t was a rattling good go,
Welch having somewhat the better of
it, sending in several smart wallops.
McClurg was very game and showed
up to good advantage.
The third exhibition was a five
round go between Chas. Jackman and
Kid Norton. both of this city. Norton
showed his superiority throughout the
bout. Only few times did Jackman
strike out with enough force to dis
turb Norton's hair. Norton was more
willing to mix than his opponent and
sent in number of fairly stiff blows.
In the fourth round Norton got tired
playing and fiddling and gave Jack
man a couple of good hard punches in
the face and Charles Immediately quit
and climbed out of the ring 1t was
much tanner exhibition than was ex-
pected of these men who having been
reputed as very fast men. Jackman.
however. was verv good at duckine
Norton's backhand blows and swings.
The fourth and last mill was five
round clash between VIM. jenkins.
colored. of Grand Junction and Jack
KID Richmond. white. of Palisade.
| This go was without doubt the event
of the evening and was an interesting,
rattling exhibition of the manly art.
The men We're pretty evenly match
ed and beautifully muscled, Jenkins
having powerful arms and shoulders
and Richmond had a magnificent chest
and back. with fine even build all
over
They went in for business from the
shaking of hands to the final shake at
the end. No knockouts were allowed
and the possible outcome. had this
been allowed is hard to conjecture as
both men were quick and shifty.
Jenkins is thoroughly versed in
boxing and is good man with heavy
punch and he is as quick as a cat
He has been in the ring before and
has considerable experience. Kid
Richmond is another very good man
who is willing to mix matters at all
times and he too has shifty rousing
punch up his sleeve which will allow
no loafing on the part of his antago-
mist. AS he stands in the ring his
position reminds one of the famous
Aurelia Herrera. the crack Me xican
featherweight. The men fought hard
