FREE READING ROOM
 WILL BE OPENED
Fund Subscribed at Public Meeting---B Concert 
 Announced

Good foundations for. a free read ing room for El Centro were laid at mass nj etihg held in Holt Opera House, suaday night, and in behalf of which all church services were suspended.
 This movement has been undertaken by general committee, which it. is hoped will eventually evolve itself into the nucleus of Y. M. C. A. for this city At present it's activities will be confined to the establishment and conducting of a free public reading room, which shall provide an attrac- tive place for men and boys to spend their spare moments.
 The meeting was presided over by District Attorney J. M. Eshleman, and stirring addresses were made by the chairman, J. F. Tout Dan V. Noland Prof. C.. A. Ragan, and Albert Dur ham.
 The general plans of the committee were laid before the meeting and sub scriptions were asked flor to sustain the work. This resulted in pledges of $400, which amount has since been substantially increased.
 A notable feature of the meeting was the strong endorsement given this movement by the various off, cers having to deal with violations of law. By their subscriptions and word of mouth the District Attorney, Sher- if and City Marshal endorsed the movement as one which will have a strong tendency to keep youths and young men out of trouble.
 The one-story brick building just east of the Opera House has been leased for year, and it is proposed to open the reading room as soon as the necessary furnishings can be procured.
 A pleasing feature of the Sunday night meeting was the solo rendered by Miss Irene Balcom, and the spiri- ted congregational singing led by F. w. Waite.
 The management of the Free Read ing Room, announces an entertain ment of high class to be given in the Holt Opera House on the evening of December 5, for the benefit of the new enterprise.
 The entertainment will consist of a concert, in which Miss Irene Balcom will sing and Ruth Deardorff will play the piano. Ernest c. Phillips, late of Modjeska's company and an accom- plished reader, will assist in making the evening enjoyable

properly a draw. Walsh and Hire dis played more knowledge of the game and gave an excellent exhibition of fast boxing. A draw was the only decision possible in their case.
 The main event was all right from the start to the fast and hard finish. De Coursey is a ring veteran and goes about his work in an imperturbable, business-like way. Selby is a younger man, and although a skillful boxer, he seems to have a notion that he can scare his opponent with ferocious grimaces and contortions. His ef- forts to look fierce were wasted on De Coursey.
 The men were so evenly matched that neither could afford to take many chances, and there was no slugging in the bout. The breaks were clean, and the men were boxing fairly in every round No damaging blows were landed, and the only blood drawn was from scratches on the forehead of De Coursey. Not a knock down was scored. Yet the fighting was fast and hard enough to bring out the quail ties of the men.
 Both men being on their feet at the end of the last round, the contest was a draw. In the final rallies De COur- sey seemed the stronger and more az gressive, and generally he had a shade the best of the bout.
