Everything In Readiness for Monday

There seems to be no doubt that the

staged at the Auditorium, Bangor, on
Monday evening next under the man.
agement of +. w. Hanks will surpass
both in volume and class" anything
that he has yet undertaken in the line
of athletics.
In matching Harry Lewis, the well
terweight champion, with Jim Dono-
van, who is conceded to be the ''one
best bet" in the WelterWeight class.
Mr. Hanks has used superb judgment
and must have exercised some dip
lomacy too, as it is a Well-knoWn fact
that this same Donovan is the most
sought after and consequently the
highest priced Welterweight in the
East. That Donovan is in every way
worthy the best efforts of any welter-
weight living is proven by the fact that
he has beaten such highclaSS fellows
as Sailor Burke, Mike Donovan Terry
Martin. Willie Lewis and Tommy Sui
Ivan, and all these are recent vic
tories
But Mr.. Hanks has a way of getting
the men he wants and it is very doubt
full if there is another promoter in
Maine who could even get am audience
with two such highs grade mitt artists.
say nothing about matching them.
The rest of the evenings program is
rich with well-matched events in which
some of the best boys in Maine and
Massachusetts will take part. The
Kid Rawson VS.. Tommy Bergen bout
alone should well repay one for the
Drice of admission
The moment of staging this great
entertain ment was well chosen as the
cheap excursion rates which prevail on
all Maine railroads for that day and
Tuesday following will attract many
persons to Bangor; also the delegates
to the Republican State convention will
largely arrive in the city during Mon
day and many of them will doubtless
be looking for entertainment for the
evening and it is likely that not a few
will take advantage of this opportunity
to witness the bouts. Then there is
little doubt that the business and pro-
fessional men Of Bangor will appre-
ciate the efforts of the management in
furnishing them such high grade sport
and will patronize it in large numbers.
Mr. Hanks is we'll fitted to supervise
enterta inments of this nature having
every detail well in hand at all times
and his connection with the exhibition
is q guarantee that everything Will be
clean, earnest and on the level and that
the program will be brought off as ad-
Vertised.
Mr. Lewis viii go to Bangor tomor-
row.
Donovan arrived in Augusta Friday
afternoon and stopped over one train
before going on to Bangor, where he
will finish his training. His work will
be done in the Y M. G. A. building and
many will wish to see him work out
He is in the best of condition and will
put up some great work Monday night
John Happy Coakley, the boy tenor
and a great admirer of Harry Lewis,
will sing just before Lewis enters the
ring, Tuesday evening.

To my mind that Ia the key OF this
