SULLIVAN FRoZE BRITT OUT.
Strange to say, not a san Francisco
man made a speech at the ringside
Larry Sullivan was intent upon occu-
pying the center of the stage, and he
did this so well that the others who
were willing and ready with their ora
torical efforts did not have a look-in
Even Jimmy Britt did not address the
multitude. 1t is not often that the
voice of James Edward is not raised
at real big fight But the Beau
Brummel waited in vain, and when he

made a strong play, but Sullivan was
determined, and Jimmy sat down. Jim

Goldfeld citizens what he thought of
the mines.

San Francisco notables were not the

of San Francisco, came all the way
from Pocatello, Idaho. to witness the
great fight Manning was accompanied
by his wife and child. He sat close to
the ringside, while his better half and
offspring occupied a box, where sat

rush and stayed late for the same
reason.
Among the prominent leaders were
Senator Nixon, Shortly Kendall, Janu-
ary Jone and Ole Elliott. They were
fortunate enough to secure the best
box seats near the ring. They tried to
outdo the San Francisco rooters in the
matter of making noise, but the winner
was not officially declared tonight.
The crowd acted in a very orderly

fight. A few people attempted to enter
the ring, but the Sheriffs deputies did
their work well and managed to keep
the crowd back. Cans was followed by
hundreds, who were anxious to shake

he was the greatest fighter in the age.
