Owen Moran, who, from the reputation
he has already gained In this country,
is undoubtedly the greatest fighter
that England has sent over to us in a long
period, is giving boxing exhibitions at the
Empire Theatre at every performance this

that filled the house both at the afternoon
and night performances yesterday.
THE Champagne Girls" under the per-
sonal direction of Phil Fisher, is the bur-
lesque show. The performance, as a whole.
Is above the ordinary of its class. The
opening act, called the blouse of Too Much
Trouble" has a generous supply of fun,
good singing and well-shaped girls. The
scenery is good.
The olio contained some particularly en-
pertaining acts. lie Dent displayed skill in
juggling hats and Eleanor Revere and Mac
Yulr, two attractive young girls, bowed
that they are entertainers Of high class.
The Coltons receive applause and Potter
and IGartwell do a clever laughing act.
John j. Kenney and Frank w. Hollis also
do a good turn.
The closing skit, mixed in a Middle"
or (Which Is which, was interesting.
Mrs. McKenna and Kittie McKenna are
win sisters and look alike. This resem-
blance is the cause Of much trouble for
their husbands, who always happen to meet
each the other mans wife.
Owen Moran and his partner, ALI Wicks,
gave a pretty boxing exhibition, which
seemed to please the crowd more thar
anything else.

by Lincoln Post concerning thisf feature
of the proposed celebration:
Whereas, February II, next, will mark
the one hundredth anniversary of the birth
Of Abraham Lincoln, whose name is borne
by our post; and
Whereas, Lincoln's Birthday is a legal
holiday; be 1t

providing public exercises in one of our
city's theatres or halls in the morning Of
