Good Fellowship Smoker.
The Union Stock Yards company gave
good fellowship smoker last night at
the Exchange dining hall. which was about
the most enjoyable affair of the season.
The Union Stock Yards had the co-opera-
of the big market in making the affair
one to be remembered. The entertainment
was strictly informal and no speeches were
made. In fact the entire evening was
spent in watching a number of events
along the line of athletics. A good ring
was fixed up in the center Of the dining
hall and it was constructed in the regula.
ton size for wrestling, which was the
chief attraction. A preliminary was held
between Toliver and Ruby and the mair
event was between Holden and Solomon.
In the main event Holden won by straight
falls in IS and minutes, respectively. II
the first fall Solomon showed considerabl,
talent and strength, but had to succumt
to an arm lock and body hold. He wrigglet
out of a number of very dangerous situa,
tions and once or twice came near tc
scoring a fall. He lacked something II
weight and strength with Holden In tn,
second fall he went to the mat under tn,
influence of an arm and toe hold.
Tolliver won the first fall of the pre-
liminary in seven minutes and Ruby wor
the last two in two minutes and six min
utes, respectively. Ruby was the heavier
of the two.
! Jasper Price and one of his understudies
| colored men, put on a two-round exhibition
| boxing match. The time was called b,
| A. r, Stryker by beating on a brass stew
pan in lieu of gong. Little science wa
| exhibited and no damage was done
One of the treats OF the evening was
knockabout act of comedy wrestling b
the Teddy brothers whose funny stunts o.
! the mat kept the house ringing with cheers
In addition to being ludicrous the Teddie
did some of the hardest possible stunts O
the game.
Buffet Lunch Follows.
Following the athletics a buffet lunc
consisting of sandwiches, cheese, sausagel
pickles and cold bottle were enjoyed b
about 600 guests. Coffee was served an
this was topped with free circulation
cigars. This lunch was about the fines
thing which A. II. Frye, the able and popl
lar dinirg room manager, has yet offere
in the way OF good things.
After the lunch the program closed wit
a battle royal between five dusky darkiC
os South Omaha. The house was in a
uproar from the start to the finish.
