New Haven Theater.

Tn his Flight for Love" tthe New Haven theater last night "Lanly Bob" Fitzsimmons gave a demonstration of his excellent ability in the pugilistic line and revealed the fact that he is still possessed of a considerable lot of that old time stamina which won for him the enviable championship and made his the idol of lovers of the manly art. The return engagement of the company headed by MT. Fitzsim- mons ably seconded by Julia May Clifford CMrs. Fitzsimmons) was enthu- siastically welcomed and an audience which completely filled the large thea ter attended the performance. The play "A Fight for Love- is a four act comedy by Hal Reid and well con structed. It's story is simple, being that Bob Fitzsimmons as a country gentle- man appearing at opportune times to defend the yong woman with whom he has fallen in love. The final fntination is that Bob leaps into the ring at a fight in Jersey, where his sweethert's father has wdgered his last dollar. His protege fails to appear on time and the money will be forfeited if some one doesn't carry out the match with the opponent. Bob leaps into the ring and shouts that he will fight for love and to save the honor of the father of the girl he loves This bout is exceedingly exciting and fought with Soldier Tom Wilson, q giant in stature and q boxer of mo mean ability.
 In the first act MT Fitzsimmons gave, fine exhibition of making horse shoes, and in the second punched the bag in rayid fire style. The audience became very enthusiastic at these exhibitions, and Lanly Bob was noisiliy encored. Miss Clifford. who was an actress of considerable Tepute prior to her mar. riage to Bob F'itzsimmons, displayed much ability and was well received.
 The remainder of the company was quite good.
