some Interesting Events at the Casino
Last Evening.
With an excellent double wind-up
and three rattline good preliminary
bouts, last evening, the National
Sporting Club kept its promise to the
local sports, who we're disappointed at
the POOR show given last week. Not
q kick was made against any portion
Of the bill and a good house rewarded
the management for it's fine show.
In the first part of the double Wind
up Jack Blackson Of Chester fought a
hard draw with Joe Campbell Of Phila-
delphla. Both boxers we're ooloTed and
we're industrious. Campbell was the
smaller Of the two. hut made up In
oleverness for what he lacked in size.
10 was a good bout and the referee did
not have to make the men fight.
Kid Parker was booked to light
Young Joe Grim in the second part OF
the wind-up. but the management
could not make satisfactory terms with
him, 90 Kid Gleason of Massachusetts,
filled the vacancy. 1t was one of the
hardest bouts ever boxed in the Casino.
Gleason outpointsd Grim and IL he
had a good punch he would have put
Grim TO sleep in the first round.
Gleason is q better boxer than fighter
and has practiced the art of boxing
more than he has the slugging bust
ness. 1t was a great bout and several
times had the spectators on their feet.
The six-round bout between Young
Britt Of Wilmington and Young Theel
Of Philadelphia was one of the features
OF the show. For four out Of the six
rounds Of the bout Britt realized that
he was up against a proposition that
was too tough for him, but be was
game. Once he took the count and in
the sixth bout he was counted out
almost simultaneously with the sound
of the finish bell. Britt was not un-
conscious, but just seemed too much
exhausted to respond TO the count.
He will meet Iheel again in two
weeks.
For clever performances In boxing
and foot work it would be hard to find
anything 20 excel that shown by Kid
Peerless In a six-round bout with
Johnny Earle Of Philadelphia. The
latter was entirely too heavy for Peer.

hard punches in each of them. II did
not take the Kid over half n round e

conducted himself accordingly. While
he received several hard blows from
Earle he managed to infliot lots o.
punishment and get away by artfu

ADJUSTMENTS.

A Madcap Princess is a genuine
romantic comic opera, aud Sophie
Brandt with her company of 60 and
with the original New York produo-
tion, will be seen in the piece at the
Grand Opera House tonight. In this
case there 10 no misuse of that much
abused term-comio opera-that most
delightful form of entertainment under
the guiae of which, musical comedies,
with their lack of plot and worn out
devices for amusement, have masquer-
AIDED. Miss Sophie Brandt, in the
character Of Princess Mary Tudor in
"a Madcap Princess, 4" has restored
comic opera to its original consistency.
This artist is the very soul of light
comedy and genuine humor. Besides
she possesses that other necessary at.
tribute in a real comic opera prima
donna, she can sing with a voice of
remarkable purity, strength and brill
liancy.
