Caman's Band, of Winfield, Kans.,
passed through last night in a Pull
man, bound for Carlsbad. They played
two pieces at the Roswell station, but
were all so tired rom their long ride
that none of them felt like putting
much spirit into the music. 1t was the
best hat has been heard in Roswell
for many a day, however. With thirty
three pieces, led by six comets, and
every section filled out accordingly,
the band is one of the most complete
in the entire West. That the players
are "onto their jobs is indicated by
some of the prominent engagements
they have played in recent years. The
band is one of the leading attractions
of the annual Chautauqua Assembly
at Winfield, and has beer so for II
years. They played as official ban for
Kansas Day at the Omaha Exposition
in 1898; played for the Priests of Pal
las parade at Kansas City in h years
1S96-97!99-O3, where one year they
took first prize in an interstate band
contest, and led in the parade il 1897
and 1903. Numerous others might be
mentioned, but this is enough to show
what kind of a band Carlsbad has Sc
cured for the celebration.

FISTIc FESTIVAL FOR
FRISCO FIGHT FANS.

San Francisco, Cal, July 3.-With
two fights of near championship cali
her on the cards for tonight and tomor
row night, the fight fans of Frisco are
revelilg in a day of excitement such
as they have not known for many
years. Despite the avowed efforts OF
Battling Nelson, h meets Jimmy
Britt this evening, to queer the Squire
Burns mill at Colma, popular interest
in the latter contest is intense and ov-
ershadows the meeting of the light
weights.
Nelson is a favorite with a MAORI
ty of the sports, although much Britt
money has been posted. The little
fighters have met here twice before
Britt getting the decision by a close
margin on December 20, 1904, and the
BattIer getting away with a decisive
victory at the last fight on September
9, 1905.
Squires has rapidly been gaining
in favor among the local sports since
his arrived here and is likely to enter
the ring at Colma tomorrow night a
decided favorite. Both men have been
doing the training OF their lives and
there Is likely to be a little difference
in weight. Both will probably be near
$50 pounds. Squires has the advan-
tage in reach and height. In chest,
shoulders, waist, biceps, thigh and
calf measurements the men are nearly
alike. If the Australian champ should
win there will be some heavy bidding
among the managers fer a Labor day
bout with Mike Schreck.
