Take look at the sartorial effects in
one block Of Center street. Here is a
group Of sports from Chicago. They Just
got in on the Jeffries Booster Club spe-
cial: George Considine. adopted from
New York; Nat Goodwin. Smiley Corbett,
Tom Hanlon, Lou Houseman, and
whole lot more. They wear plaids, Ia
gray and brown, green and purple silk
hose, sleek Panamas, with brilliant puga-
rees about the crown. They are correct.

they are effulgent with daring coloring.
On their way up to the Golden Hotel
they pass Hard Winter. Now, Hard

Cowboys Enjoy Reno.
Right behind the Chicago fashion plates
and coming also from the station is a
group OF miners and cattle men, down
over the little narrow-gauge California,
Oregon and Nevada Railroad from AL
turas and the Modoc Bad Lands. They
say Of that railroad, incidentally, that
during sagehen season the engineer in
vites his friends 10 go on a run with
him and they stop en- route for a little
shooting here and there.
These citizens from the hard scrabble
country up where Shagnasty Jim and
his Modoc braves once stood of United
States regulars for bitter months Of
warfare. affect 'store clothes" They
carry their coats on their arms, and their
vivid pink and yellow shirtings glow
from under crossed suspender straps
Their square-toed shoes are stTeaked and
stained with the alkali. They smoke
brown paper cigarettes. In from the Bad
Lands. with six months pay already tied
up in their deerskin moneybags. the
aIodoc men hit Reno with a single pur-
pOse-savage and unlimited Joy.
A jail In Reno is better than a shack
in Paradise Valley. and there will be
three, four. five swift days Of forgetting
what lies at the other end Of that comedy
railroad.
There are negroes a-plenty, porters who
have jumped their Jobs on the Southern
Pacific for a chance TO wager their last
scent piece on Johnson, sportive bar
bers from Los Angeles. gay in rainbow
clothes: the plain railroad "cinder" who
has hoboed his way on a board over
whirring wheels from Omaha and Denver.

eyed blood brother from the east, so
slipshod in his blue denim tunic and
floppery hat. yet so eternally cool in front
of the faro case.
There are ten or a dozen Englishmen 10

They wear their so-English tweeds like a
uniform of distinction. and they smoke
bulldog pipes and say "Aouw" and little
else.
Friend Meets Tim Sullivan.
A fresh zephyr from Chambers street
blew into the Golden Hotel this morning
Just as Big Tim Sullivan was coming
down in the elevator TO get his breakfast
"Hellow, Jimmy" said the zephyr,
cooking his dirty face at the Senator and
sticking out a compelling paw. The Sen
ator took a good look at the ta;terder-
malion in front Of him. then broke into a
laugh
Wen. if it isn't George Mcfarland
the only star to one-eyed Connolly" said
Sullivan. when did you blow in. and
how?"
"Oh, I worked de beams from N'yorl, -

tween Buffalo and Green River. Wyo..

After Big Tim slipped the youngster a
dollar 10 get a bowl Of Java and some
Hamburger, he told the crowd around
him something about the sublime conf

Seattle the senator said. George had
followed a string of race horses out Ia
the Coast. so he told Sullivan at that
time. and they was making a bum OF
him. So Big Tim had dressed the boy
out in a new suit, had him washed and
barbered. and took him on the train
with him back to New York. That was
the last he had seen Of George until that
dirty face blocked his path to the break
fast table this morning.
'"GeOrgie" VIII See Fight.
Big Tim tipped Richard off to Georgia
from Chambers street. and there is No
doubt that George. who worked the
beams for two weeks. will see the fight.
