CLIFTON WELCOMES FL PASO
 BUSINESS MEN.

The bout between Wasem and Duffy was a whirlwind affair, beth men being in earnest bent upon ad- ministering a knockout blow. Wasem appeared to be the favorite of the most of the spectators, and did some energetic work, appearing to be the quicker in speed, although no more determined toward success. What seemed to be critical moments in the bout did not materialize, and the referee gave his decision that the re- suit was draw.
 The bout between Clifford and Brooks was not founded upon such equality, the former having a strik- ing advantage in a greatly superior opponent at a safe point. Brooks, however, went to his defeat with Spartan courage, putting up a demon stration of futile attempts to punish his antagonist The decision in this match was in favor of Clifford.
 The meeting ended at the turning of the days, and that it was a com plete success was the verdict of all. Refreshments were served through out the evening, and these, in con- junction with the excellent music and masterful addresses, made of the en- tertainment one that will rank with the most successful ever held in Cliff ton. The citizens of the town were generous in their response to the re- quests of the various committeeman appointed to serve on the entertain ment of the visitors that Gll lend their assistance and presence, the Princess being packed to its capacity with the participants. The special train bearing the excursionists left Clifton at 1 a. m., October 22, on a continuation of the journey to Ari- zona points along the Gila river, the Phoenix district, the Globe district, and the towns along the Mexican bor- der.
 Clifton is to be congratulated, as was the consensus of opinion of every Fl Paso eXcursionist, upon the splen- did welcome accorded to it's neigh bors of the Southwestern metropolis who through their orators invited the hosts to make a visit to Fl Paso, where they would be we'll entertain ed by the Pass City's men of busi- ness.
